Abstract
A side rail for an outdoor pool table includes a silicone rubber cushion member which is formed with a recessed portion providing a first method of interlocking, a synthetic material backing member formed with a second contoured portion which is mutually engageable with the first contoured portion for providing an interlocking assembly between the cushion member and the backing member. The subassembly of the cushion member and the backing member is disposed within a sewn acrylic fabric cover. This sewn construction defines an interior receiving pouch which has an interior peripheral dimension of sufficient size to slidably receive the cushion member and backing member assembly. In order to mount this fabric-covered subassembly to the pool table, a synthetic material support strip is applied directly against the lower portion of the backing member and threaded fasteners are received by the surrounding portion of the pool table. The support strip acts as a clamp clamping the backing member and the cushion member which is assembled thereto directly against the surrounding boundary of the pool table. By accurately controlling the peripheral dimension of the fabric cover, there will exist an interior void between the cover and the cushion which is eliminated by the support strip which stretches the cover taut around the cushion and backing members.
