lmprovment n GameRegsters- No. 132,553. Patented om. 29,1872.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOSEPH W. WORMALD, OF BUFFALO, NEW YORK.
ltv'lPl-'QOVEMENT EN GAMEHREGSTERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 32,553, dated October 29, 1872.
To all whom t may concern:
Beit known that I, JosEPE WLLLIAM Won- MALD, ofBuftalo, county of Erie and State of Tow York, have invented certain new and useiul Improvements in Game-Recorders for Billiards, Bagatelle, Pigeon-Hole, the., of which the following is a specification:
Nature of the Invention.
This invention relates to an index-board or marker for billiards, bagatelle, and other games of a similar nature 5 and the invention consists in providing a board with numerals and having a series of movable spring-pointers, as hereinafter described.
General Description.
In the drawing, Figure l is an elevation. Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross-section, showing the construction or' the pointers, Src. Fig. 3 is a vertical cross-section, showing the manner of attaching the pointers to both sides of the board.
A is a suitable oblong board, having two rows of dovetailed grooves, a a', in which the pointers or markers c slide longitudinally. These are constructed of a piece of wood or metal, made in any suitable or ornamental style, one end pointed and the other rounded, and having a bolt, d, (see Fig. 2,) and thumbnut c, which en gage with a wedge-shaped block, f, sitting in the groove a, and also having' a spring, g,between the piecesc and f, and partly sitting in the block. r)This spring throws the rn arler out from the board, preventing friction when the thumb-screw is loosened to move it forward and back, but does not prevent the pointer from being screwed down so as to hold it at any desired number or numbers. Between each or' the two rows of pointers, (see Fin'. 1,) I arrange a series of numbers-units, tens, hundreds, and thousands. rIhe grooves a., as will be seen, are divided into unequal spaces by small partitions h, each space having one pointer, or one above and one below. The two rows, upper and lower, of pointers will be of dtt'erent colors, to designate the two sides of the game. The first space will have the numbers from one to twenty 5 the second by twenties, from twenty to one hundred; the third by one hundreds, from one hundred to live hundred; and the fourth by five hundreds, from live hundred to iifteen hundred, as shown. This notation can be continued as high as necessary.
The form shown in Fig. 3 is for a long board to be set up in the center or" the room so that both sides can be used for the same or different players or games. The other boards can be placed on the walls opposite each table, 85o., so that lockers-on, as well as the players, can keep the tally. This will be especially useful in match games.
The iigures may be painted or raised, or made in metal or gilt, or in any other suitable manner, so that they can be readily distinguished, and the boards and numbers as large as required.
The operation is exceedingly simple. `W ien either player has made up to twenty points, the second pointer of his color is placed on the figure 20, and the first pointer continues to register the units, the second being moved as fast as twenty more is added to each tally. `When one hundred is gained the third marker is set, and so on until the points or" the game are all made.
Ola/im.
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The game -indicator, numbered and constructed for operation as herein shown and described, and consisting of the dovetailed blocks f, spring g, thumb-screw c, bolt d, index-fingers c c, and grooves a a', said grooves being divided into unequal spaces h h, as and for the purpose set forth.
In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
Witnesses: J. W. lVORliIAIdl J. R. DRAKE, O. N. WoonwAEn.
