摘要： An assembly for detecting and separating a cue ball having a metal insert therein includes a transformer coil disposed within a main passageway of a billiard table and through which all of the billiard balls roll. A start switch disposed upstream of the transformer is actuated by a ball rolling therepast to energize the transformer coil only when a ball is present. The cue ball affects the field of the transformer such that the amplitude of the output thereof drops. The output of the transformer is compared to a reference by a comparator. If the transformer output drops below the reference, the output of the comparator goes high, actuating a solenoid to divert the cue into an unlocked compartment. A counter is provided to count the number of object balls retained in a locked compartment. After all of the object balls have been counted, the counter provides an inhibit signal to prevent actuation of the solenoid so that the cue ball is captured in the locked compartment at the end of a game.
