Abstract
A billiard cue repairing machine includes planing device, an edge cutting device, a micro-cutting device, and an end cutting device to allow for repair of a billiard cue in an automated fashion. The billiard cue is held in position by a cue clamping mechanism. A drive element drives is used to rotate the billiard cue and the micro-cutting device. The planing device and the edge cutting device are respectively disposed on both sides of a to-be-repaired end of the billiard cue, with adjacent sides provided with a plane knife and a cutter, respectively. The planing device is manually controllable by means of a first axial gear mechanism to cause its cutter to cut the to-be-repaired end of the billiard cue to form a rod adapted to receive a plastic sleeve. The edge cutting device has a second axial gear mechanism and an elastic transverse displacement mechanism that displace in directions substantially perpendicular to each other. By means of the elastic transverse displacement mechanism, a cutter is manually controllable to urge against the to-be-repaired end of the billiard cue. The axial gear mechanism is used to control the elastic transverse displacement mechanism to displace in t…
