• an elongated base having a top, a bottom, a front end and a back end, the back end having support means extending therefrom to provide stability to the base when the portable bridge is placed on the surface of the playing table;
• an upright arm, means connecting the upright arm substantially perpendicularly to the top of the base, said means being disposed near the front end;
• said base having a concaved region on said top a predetermined distance from said front end, said predetermined distance extending between said front end and said means connecting;
• a cue pool stick;
• the upright arm having at least one opening formed therein, said at least one opening having a cross section, such that the cue stick may be inserted and longitudinally slidable therein to permit striking of a selected billiard ball with one end of the cue stick;
• said at least one opening in the upright arm being adjacent to the base, such that one end of the cue stick is inserted through said at least one opening and the other end of the cue stick is lifted upwardly, the concave top of the front end of the base engages a portion of the cue stick, and the back end of the base drops away from the cue stick in a manner such that the portable bridge may be lifted from, and repositioned on, the surface of the table as desired and, when the other end of the cue stick is lowered, the concave region disengages the portion of the cue stick such that the cue stick may be slidably removed from said at least one opening.
