Abstract

This invention consists of a carrying case constructed of two outer shells, which are made of a hard and durable material. The outer shells are connected by hinges on one side, which allow the case to be closed and secured by key or combination type locks on the other. A handle and removable shoulder strap are provided for ease of portability. Within each shell of the case is the inner foam type material. This material is available with various ‘cut outs’ to allow for individual cue sticks, cue stick holders/cases, and billiard accessories (chalk, stick tools, etc.) to be inserted and held securely in place within the case during transportation. These foam inserts are interchangeable to allow for specific types of equipment to be transported within the case, so one case can be used for transporting different quantities of cue sticks, different types of cues stick holders/cases, and a variety of billiard accessories (chalk, stick tools, etc.).
