UNITED STATES FRED TENNEY, OF DONGASTER, ENGLAND.
. SHUTTLEGOCK DEVICE FOR USE IN GAMES.
Application filed October 23, 1919.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRED TENNEY, of 26 Buckingham road, Doncaster, England, a subject of the King of England, have invented new and useful Improvements in shuttlecock Devices for Use in Games; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same.
The present invention relates to shuttlecock devices for use in connection with games wherein the device is adapted to be struck through the air by a player by means of his'hanol, or with the aid of a suitable striking implement.
The usual shuttlecock device commonly used in games such as badminton, or childrens games such at battledore and shuttlecock, comprises a, cork base adapted to be struck by the player, and a retarding or flight steadying device formed by a conical structure of feathers mounted on the said base, and the essential characteristic of the device thus formed is that it is very light,
and bounces very little, if any, upon touching the ground, the object in either of the two games hereinbefore mentioned being to keep the shuttlecock in play in the air without touching the ground.
In another form of shuttlecock device for use in games wherein the object is to be kept in playafter bouncing on a table, or on the ground, the base is provided with a more resilient member, formed by aspring, or by an india rubber cushion, or by a completely inclosed pneumatic cushion or ball, as an india rubber ball.
In using either of the hereinbefore described devices it has been found that continued use results in depreciationof' the resilient member so that it no longer possesses the desired degree of resiliency and becomes practically useless for further play, es-
pecially in the case of the secondly hereinbefore described device. One of the objects of the presentfinvention is to provide improved constructions of shuttlecock which will enable the resilient base part of the device to be readily attached to or detached from the retarding, or steadying part of the device, so that it may readily be replaced when desired by a new resilient base part.
Similiarly the invention enables the retarding or flight steadying part of the de vice to be readily replaced should that part be fractured or become in any way unservieeable as is often the case when feathers Specification of Letters Patent.

are used-the resilient base part being meanwhile in good serviceable condition, thus tending toward economy when extensive use is made of such objects as when playing badminton and kindred games, as that forming the subject matter of my concurrent application, Serial No. 332,791 filed Oct. 23, 1919.
. In order that my invention may be clearly understood and carried into effect I have appended hereto one sheet of the drawings, illustrating the same, wherein 1 Figure 1 is a vertical cross section of one construction of shuttlecock device comprisibng1 a detachable india rubber pneumatic Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a similar construction of device comprising a celluloid pneumatic ball.
Fig. 3 is an elevation of a device comprising a detachable spiral spring resilient member.
Fig. 4; is a plan view of the base portion of the device shown in Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is a sectional! view of another conitlllllCtlOn comprising a detachable pneumatic Fig. 6 is a sectional view of a construction of device wherein the resilient part is in the1 form of a conical pneumatic cushion, anc
Fig. 7 is a plan view of the connecting means according to Fig. 6.
F igs. 8 and 9 are sectional views illustrating other alternative constructions wherein the resilient part is formed by a conical pneumatic cushion, and
Fig. 10 is a sectional view illustrating a construction wherein the resilient part is formed by a cup shaped india rubber cushion.
Inthe construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and 5 to 8 inclusive the base portion 1, which may be formed of wood, or cork, or any other suitable material, is provided with feathers 2 which serve to retard, or steady, the flight of the object through the air. The feathers may also if desired be suitably connected together by wire higher up their stems in a manner similar to that shown in Fig. 3.
In the constructions shown in Figs. 1 2 and 5 the under side of the base portion is made concave, or cup shaped, and thereby adapted to receive the surface of a ball 3, which may be of india rubber as in Fig. 1, or of celluloid as in Fig. 2.
. bounces, or is normally struck, an india.
Inorder to prevent cracking of the celluloid ballat the point where it normally rubber covering, or pad, 4: may be suitably secured thereto by an adhesive, as indicated in Fig. 2. The effect of this covering is to distribute the shock of impact over a larger area of the surface of the ball, celluloid being of a somewhat brittle nature and liable to split after long use if no such covering is rovided.
s shown in Fig. 1 the ball 3 has secured to it by means of the washer 5 of rubber or ot'her suitable material, a screw 6 formed or provided with a broad concave head 7 'adapted to fit the contour of the ball. By means of this screw the ball may be secured when desired to the base portion 1 which is correspondingly bored, and if desired screw threaded. A nut 8 serves to hold the two parts securely together if the hole in the ase part1 is not screw threaded, but is preferably also: provided for additional security'even if the base part 1 has a screw thread connection, with thescrew- 6. In this manner whenthe ball loses its resiliency, or becomes worn out, itmay be readily replaced, by a fresh balIsimilarly provided witha screw 6..
In the construction shown in Figs- 3. and 4 the resilient member is formedby the spiral spring 9', the lower end of which is attached. to a wooden, or metal, cap 10,
which takes the shock of impact with the ground, or with the striking implement. The upper end, of the spring is provided with a plurality of wire loops or eyes 11, ada ted to receive the ends of the feathers 2. he ends of the feathers being tapered they can be wedged securely into the eyes, although if desired additional security may be obtained by threadinga wire. 12 through the projecting ends, of the feathers in the manner shown. The upper parts of the feathers are maintained in their correct relativepositions by suitable wiring 13, and when desired the set of feathers may be bodily removed from the eyes 11 for at tachment to a different spring member.
According to the construction shown in Fig. 5 the ball 3 isprovided, or is integrally formed, with a plain projecting part 1 1 corresponding to the screw 6 and it is secured to the .base portion 1, by means of a pin, or the like, 15 passed through a hole in. the upper end of the projecting part 14, and engaging against the upper surface of the-base part1.
In the construction shown in Fig. 6 the resilient part is formed by a conical pneumatic cushion 16, of india rubber, or the like. This is detachably connected to the base portion 1 by means of a fiat disk 17 of light material, as aluminium, or vulcanite, having a projecting screw or pin corresponding to that of the constructions shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 5. The disk 17 is permanently secured to the upper fiat surface of the cushion 1G by means of a suitable adhesive, and to secure a more efiicient adhesion the disk may be formed with a plurality of perforations 18 to facilitate the evaporation of the volatile constituents of the adhesive employed. The cushion thus provided with connecting means is adapted for being detachably connected to the base part 1 ina manner similar to that hereinbefore described with reference to Figs. 1, 2 and 5.
In the construction shown in Fig. 8 the flat disk 17 is of smaller diameter than the upper surface of the cushion 16, and is adapted to be secured thereto by means of a rubber washer 5 in a manner similar to that described with reference to Fig. 1. In this construction, and also in the construction according to Fig. 1, the washer 5 may be formed with perforations for a purpose similar to that described with reference to Figs. 6 and 7 In the construction shown in Fig. 9, which is a modification of that described with reference to Fig. 6, the upper edge of the cushion 16 is formed with an annular rim 19 which is adapted to be bent over the edge of the disk 17 and secured to the upper sur face thereof by means of a suitable adhesive for the purposeof giving additional security of attachment of the disk 17 to the cushion 16. A suitable packing disk 20, of cardboard Or other suitable material, is also provided between the surface of the disk 17 and the lower surface of the base portion 1.
In the construction shown in Fig. 10 the resilient base part is formed by a cup shaped india rubber or like cushion 21, the disk 17 forming the closure for its upper surface. For thepurpose of securely attaching the disk 17, the cushion is formed with an inwardly projecting ridge or flange 22, upon which the disk 17 is adapted to rest and to be secured by an adhesive. For additional security the annular rim 19 is also provided to be bent over the edge of the disk and to be secured to the upper surface thereof in a manner similar to. that described with reference to Fig. 9.
The improved devices according to my invention may be used in any suitable game, but it is particularly adapted for use in connection with the game forming the subject matter of my concurrent application for Letters Patent No. 332,791.
The celluloid ball and spiral spring forms of my invention are more particularly adapted for use in indoor games such as are generally played on tables, but they may of course be used in suitable outdoor games if desired.
