Abstract
A device for separating a ball, such as a cue ball from other balls, for example numbered balls of slightly smaller diameter than the cue ball, in which the balls are guided by track elements, in a directionally stable relation, to a separating station, with the track elements preferably being so constructed that the stable support thereby, at the separatIng station is terminated for all such balls, and a further track element disposed at the separating station, out of the path of smaller balls, for guiding the larger ball, in a stable relation from said separating station, whereby the smaller balls may move, in a different direction than the larger ball, unrestricted by further track elements, out of the separating station.
