Abstract

A compact billiard accessory has a generally cylindrical first and second housing which are selectively connectable. The first housing includes a first concave, abrasive surface located adjacent to a first annular end surface of the housing for scraping a cue stick tip, and a second concave, abrasive surface located adjacent to an opposed annular end surface of the housing for shaping the tip. The first housing has scoring marks on its surface and includes two rotatable scoring wheels for tallying game scores. The second housing has a cap with a hole in its surface at one end of the housing that can be rotated to align the hole with a hole in the second end surface of the housing for forming a channel to a refillable talc chamber in the housing. A cue chalk holder fits in the first end of the second housing. When not in use, the first and second housings can be connected to form a compact billiard accessory for clean and convenient storage.
