Description
, 1,509,370 S. 'NAGASE Sept, 23 19251 GAME Filed April 13,. 1923 rm/ms Patented Sept. 23, 1924.
UNITED STATES SOSAKU NAGASE, or onrcaeo, rumors.
GAME.
Application filed April 13, 1923. Serial No. 631,883.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, SosAKU NAGASE, a
subject of the Emperor of Japan, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Games, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to improvements in games, and it consists in the combinations, constructions, and arrangements herein de scribed and claimed.
An object of my invention is to provide a game which may be played by a number of players, such as a fortune telling game, and in which the answer depends upon a certain character, picture or figure normally concealed from the players, but adapted to be brought into view.
A further object is to provide a game of the type described, which can be made very cheaply, so that when the hidden character is disclosed, the paper backing upon which the game is printed may be thrown away and another substituted for each new phase of the drawing or fortune telling.
A further object of my invention is to provide a game of the type described, which may serve as an advertisement.
Other objects and advantages will appear in the following specification, and the novel features of the invention will be particularly pointed out in the appended claim.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming part of this application, in which Figure 1 is a face View of a game constructed according to my invention, and
Figure 2 is an edge viewof the device shown in Figure 1.
Referring now to Figure 1, I have shown thereon a sheet 1, which is preferably of paper, but which may be of card board or the like. This sheet has an extended portion 2, as shown in the figure.
The face of the sheet in the preferred form of the device has a figure, such as a wheel, having a hub portion 3 and spoke portions radiating therefrom. Between the adjacent spoke portions are characters 5. In this instance, these characters are figures, but they may be letters or pictures, without departing from the spirit of the invention. In the present instance, I have shown a wheel-like design, together with eight figures enclosed therein. On the interior of the wheel rim are blank spaces 6, whose purpose will be explained later. The extension 2 bears a character which corresponds to one of the characters on the face of the sheet. This extension 2 is normally folded upon itself, as shown at 7, and is kept in its folded position by means of a strip 8, which holds the folded portion to the face of the sheet.
From the foregoing description of the various parts of the device, the operation thereof may be readily understood. The game is designed to be played by more than one person. Let us assume that it is used in fortune telling. The question may be asked Who is to be married first? The players select their numbers or characters, and place their initials in the rectangles adjoining the numbers. The strip 8 is then drawn or cut, and the extension 2 is unfolded and extended. The one whose number corresponds with the number on the folded strip is the person to whom the question is presumed to apply. The sheet may then be thrown away and another produced, and this time the players may select their numbers in the same way, although it is not compulsory for the players to select the same numbers that they had before.
The game may be used in bestowing prizes, each one selecting his number and putting his initials adjacent to it, and then the prize will go to the one whose number is found to be concealed in the folded extension 2, when the latter is unrolled.
The game may be used for the purposes of advertising, and to this end an advertisement, such as that shown at 9 in Figure 1, may be placed on the face of the device.
I claim:
A game comprising a paper sheet, a plurality of different visible characters arranged on said sheet, an extension sheet bearing a duplicate of one of said characters, said extension being adapted to be folded back upon the face of the sheet, and a strip "for securing the folded portion to said sheet, whereby the duplicate character is normally hidden, the breaking of the strip permitting the extension sheet to be unfolded, thereby bringing the hidden character into view.
