THOMAS D. COLLINS, LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.

GAME.

Application filed April 24, 1923. Serial No. 634,309.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS D. COLLINS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented a new and useful Game, of which the following is a specification.-

This invention relates to a game and more especially to a novel form of game'- board, one of its objects being to provide a board utilizing a pair of closely associated pins fixedly mounted, it being designed to employ a ring to be-thrown at the pins for the purpose of ringing them, the points it counted in determining the result of the game, being determined by the position of the thrown ring relative to the pins.

\Vith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel, details of construction and combinations of parts which will be hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claims, it being understood that changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.

In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention has been 89 shown. 4 v

In said drawings.

Figure 1 is. a plan view of the game board, one position of a ring thereon being indicated by full lines.

85 Figure 2 is a section on line 2-2 Figure 1, a cover being shown on the board.

Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 designated a circular box which can be provided with a lid 2 and secured in and they are spaced apart a distance slightthe bottom of the box is a board 3 which to may be provided with a soft covering 4 of felt or the like; Secured to the board 3 near the center thereof are upstanding parallel pins 5. Two of these pins are used ly greater than the thickness of the ring 6 constituting the game piece.

In playing the game the ring is tossed at the pins. If both pins are rung a certain IIIIIITUGI of points are placed to the credit of the player. If the ring encloses or surrounds one pin only another number of points is placed to the credit of the player. Should the rings stand up against both pins the play would have a predetermined value and another value would result should the ring lean againstone pin only.

What is claimed is:

1. A game including a box-like structure, a pair of parallel pins upstanding therefrom adjacent its center and a ring constituting a game piece, said pins being spaced apart a distance slightly greater than the thickness of the ring.

2. A game including abox-like structure, a board therein, a pair of pins upstanding from the board adjacent its center,a game piece for ringing one or both of the pins,

said pins being spaced apart a distance slightly greater than the thickness of the game piece.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixed my signature in the presence of two-witnesses.

THOMAS D. COLLINS.
