To all whom' it may concern:
Be it known Vthat we,jHENnY SOHW i moana und FRANK RICE, citizens oi the United States, residing at Meadville, in' the county of Crawford und State of Pennsylvania, have. invented new 'und usefullImprovements in a' VGmane Device, of whichthe following is 'a specification.
This device is designed ,to simulate mechanically some features of c geme of base ball. Broadly it consists in rotating u vbut delivering e han to che path af the be, mi providing a chcncerelution between the rotation and delivery of the bell so lthat the ball may be-hit, ormuy be missed, or may be deliveredlin different directions.
The invention s illustrated in the eccomdrawings as follows shows a plan view of the device. 2 a bottom view of Vthe device. Fig. 3 n section on the lines 3 3 in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 an enlarged view of a. securing latch.
1 marks the board, 2 e surrounding shoulder or enclosure, 3 e diamond which is luid out on the board, and 4 spring clips which operate in the game as pla ers, these bein located in the positions or ineril assume by players in a. game of base be A but 5 is xed on un upright shaft 6 which extends through the board. A ear 7 is fixed on the lower end` of the she G. A. rack 8 operates on the geen?, the rack b `carried bye rod 9. The front end of t e rod is carried by e uide 10 and the reer end is secured to a ro 14, thefront end of the rod 14being carried by a. guide 11 on the board. A. ring 12 is secured to the rod 9 and to a. screw 18 on the under- .Side of the board und tends to draw therod to a. forward position. In this forward osition the ruck 8 is out of the gear 7 leaving the shaft free so that the bat may be rotilted as a chance device. The rod 14 extends through e guide lnrranged on the enclosing shoulder 'or border 2. It 1s rovided with a notchl into which a ceto 17 drops when the rod is drawn orward.
ring 18 yeldingly forces the latch 17 into e notch.
The forward end of the rod 14 is upturned through the guide 11 and slot 20 1n the board, the upper end ofthe rod extending forward forming a plunger 21'. This plunger is adapted to operate on e ball 22,
into the notch 16. The ball- 22 is put in po` stion under the 4itches clip. In drawin back the rod 9,'t e ruck 8 moves into mes with vthe gea.r 7 und rotates the bat in a. reverse direction slightly. On moving the catch to release position the rods 14 and'S are snapped forward bythe spring 12. The plunger 21 through im act with the ball snaps it forward into t e path of the bat as 1t is rotated. Thesume forward movement of thevrod 9 operating through the rack rotates the bet. If `the but ie in the part of its path which is traversed by the bell it will hit the'bull 1iving to the ball a. direction incident to t e position of the but et the moment of impact. If the hat is in the part of its lpath out of the path of the bull, the ball wi merelypess through under the catchers clip. When the rack 1s moved forward' and the but 'has been rotated b it' the rack moves out of engagement witi the gear und the but continues to rotate as a` chance wheel thus v 'g the int et which it operates with relution to the delivery of the ball with euch operation.
uClips 24, 25, 26" and 2'? are er1 ed around the ed e of the board and adepte to receive the b les it moves along the board. It will be understood that these clips are smell spring clips so that when the bell moves under them the bell will be enga ed and held. The clips 24 covering a. wi er und more open s ece muy be dominated as single-base hits, t e clip 25 as twoase hits, the clip 27 as n three-base hit and the clips 26 as home runs, the space through which the ball must travel to get to these clips cletermining the points.
In playin the ame itisplayed in a. munner after t e ordinary gaine of base bull, first-one player hein at the bat and then the other. the impact of the het and is caught by A the clip it operates as a strike. I the bat Where te ball passes without these are computed es advancing c picyer who has been at bet.
Wlmt we claim asnew is l. Inc-e? 'ame device, the-combnation-'oi` mechanica. y actuated battn means; means for delivering a ball to the atting means;-
and a chance device cooperating with one o'f said means varying the operativerelaton of .the-batting means and the delivery means to very the action of the batcn the bell.
