Abstract
A foul line indicator for pool tables for identifying the foul line behind which a player is allowed to shoot a cue ball. The foul line indicator for pool tables includes a laser light mechanism which includes housing and a conventional laser light disposed therein. The laser light mechanism is disposed under a side rail and in a side wall under the second diamond displayed on top of the side rail and located from either end of the pool table. The laser light is adapted to direct a light beam across the playing surface of the pool table from one side to the other side to indicate the foul line. The laser light is energized by a switch disposed in the side wall of the pool table and which is connected to the laser light mechanism with wires, and also by a power source.
