1,147,478, Patented July 20, 1915.
REM 2 m CHARLES H. BARKER, or .cHIQAGo, ILLINOIS.
WAR-MANEUVERING GAME.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed. November 3, 1914. Serial No. 670,107.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, CHARLES H. BARKER, a. citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in War-Maneuvering Games, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to the general class ofgames and toys, and pertains especially to the class of ball and pocket chance devices.
The object of the invention is to provide a ball and pocket game puzzle of such novel and peculiar construction and relative arrangement as to form circular pockets projecting from a surface upon which the balls are confined for rolling into the pockets.
A further object of the invention .is to provide, in a ball and pocket game, special pocket construction, and specialrelative arrangement of the pockets, and to furnish a particular ball for each pocket, so that every ball shall have its own pocket corresponding in color or other identification with the ball which shall be rolled into the corresponding pocket and held therein for a successful operation of the game.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a war-playing game comprising circular flanges projecting from a ball rolling surface and forming pockets representing the armies in battle, and to furnish balls corresponding with pockets and representing the movements of the various armies.
In the accompanying drawings forming part of this application :Figure 1 is a plan view showing the balls in proper pockets after a successful play of the game. Fig.
2 is a sectional view taken on the plane indicated by the dotted line acz Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of one of'the pockets. Fig. 4 isa sectional view of a modification. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the pocket shown in the modification.
The same reference characters denote the same parts throughout the several views of the drawings.
My. invention is specially devised for playing armies at war, and in carrying out my invention a plate or tray is preferably used, but a board composed of any suitable material and having a raised annular flange may be used.
The plate shown in the accompanying drawings is well adapted for the successful Patented July'20, 1915..
playing of. the game, and said plate has a deep annular flange 1, projecting from the plate surface 2, and the flange has an annular rim 3, for convenience in holding and manipulating the plate. A plurality of have shown five pockets in the drawings in pockets, in any desired number, are stavarious colors representing the same number of army forts, for example, the armies "of Germany, England, France, Belgium, and Austria.
The pockets are each formed by a ring 4:
fixed to and projecting from the plate sur- 7 1 face 2, and having a peripheral opening or .mouth 5 for balls corresponding 1n color or other designation with the fort pockets, that is to say theball 6 represents the army .of the fort 6 the ball 7 represents the-army of the fort 7 the ball 8 represents the army of the fort 8 the ball 9 represents the army of the fort 9 and the ball 10 represents the army of thefort 10. 1
The rings 4 are fixed to the plate surface in such relative position as to be of equal distance from each other, with one ring in the center of the plate. The opening or mouth 5 is of less width than the diameter of the ring, so that the rings appear as though a segment thereofhad been removed. In fixing the rings on the plate it is important that the mouth of each of the four rings be placed toward the central ring in pairs, the rings of each pair being opposite, with the mouths opening toward the central ring. The mouth of the center ring must open toward and central with the mouth of one of the four rings. The space between the' rings and the surrounding flange may be as desired or according to the size of-the surface upon which the rings are fixed. I
Obviously the plate is manipulated to have the balls roll into their respective rings or pockets, and a successful play is accomplished by rolling the balls into the rings corresponding with the balls so that all the rings will be occupied by their respective balls at one and the same time.
Referring to the modification shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the ring 11, has a air of ears 12 which fit slits 13, in the p ate 14, and the ears are clenched under the plate, for securing the ring to the plate.
It should be understood that ordinary colored marbles may be used and the rings have corresponding colors, and that the plate or tray for the rings may be composed of any suitable material such as tin, Wood, and cardboard. Therefore I do not wish to limit myself to any particular material, size of the parts, or to any special means ror mounting the rings, but reserve the right to use any suitable material, and to make any changes in the practical production of the invention, as may come within the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a ball and pocket game, a flat circular base having a surrounding rim, an open ring central of the base and forming a central circular ball-pocket, a set of open rings separate from the rim and forming circular pockets adjacent to the central pocket with ball ways around all the rings and between the latter and the rim, the opening of one of the rings of the set being opposite the opening in the central ring and the opening of the other rings of the set being opposite the closed portion of the central ring, and a ball for each ring.
2. In a ball and pocket game, a fiat circular base having an annular flange, a set of open rings secured to the base so as to form Copies of this patent may be obtained for nmmve ball Ways around the rings and a contracted ball passage between the annular flange and the periphery of the rings, a ring central of the set of rings and having an opening opposite the opening in one of the rings of the set, the opening in the other rings of the set facing the closed portion of the central ring, and a ball for each ring.
8. In a ball and pocket game, a circular base having an outwardly flaring annular flange projecting therefrom, an open ring secured central of the base, two pairs of open rings secured to the base around the central ring with a continuous ball passage between the annular flange and the periphery of these rings and between the central ring and the rings of each pair, the opening of one of the rings of one pair being adjacent to and opposite the opening in the central ring and the opening of the other rings of said pairs being adjacent to and opposite the closed portion of the central ring, the pockets formed by the rings differing in color, and balls corresponding in number with the rings and with the color of the pockets.
In witness whereof I hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.
CHARLES II. BARKER.
