Magnetic pool ball

Claim 1

A magnetically attractable pool cue ball adapted for use with other pool balls in playing a pool game and having a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the other pool balls, said cue ball comprising a spherical body having a smooth, continuous outer surface, said body being composed of molded, non-magnetic resinous material within which is embedded magnetically attractable material, said magnetically attractable material comprising a spherical cage composed of a plurality of uniform, curvilinear metal loops uniformly spaced from one another circumferentially of said cage and extending along lines which intersect at common polar locations of said cage, said cage being concentric with the geometric center of said body and being of such diameter relative to the diameter of said body that said cage occupies a position radially remote from the center of said body and adjacent but wholly inwardly of the outer surface of said body and at a uniform depth from the outer surface of said body, said non-magnetic resinous material being identical throughout said body and being adhered to and completely enveloping said loops.
