TES
HENRY V. BERGQUIST,
PATENT OFFICE,
OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
GAME.
Application filed February To all whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, HENRY V. BERGQUIST,
a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new Game, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to a game in which 1 dice are employed.
An object of the invention is to provide -a simple and efiicient apparatus for playing a game with dice which is highly interesting and requires a considerable degree of skill, is economical to manufacture and durable in use.
The invention is illustrated in the drawings, of which- Figure l is a perspective view of the device;
Fig. 2 is a plan view; and
Fig. 3 represents developments of the various (lice used? The form of the invention shown in the drawings is a preferred form, although it is understood that modifications in the construction and arrangement of the parts and in the character of the materials used ma be adopted without departing from the spir1t of the invention as set forth in the appended claims. I
In the preferred form of the invention,
the apparatus involves a shallow box 10,
having a glass cover 11, within which a series of thee 12 to' 16, inclusive, are disposed.
These dice are marked with the letters of th alphabet, twenty-six in all, no one die havin the same letter on it as any one of the ot ers.
5, 1925. Serial N0. 7,079.
In the operation of the game, the dice are 40 disposed within the box beneath the cover, and there is sufiicient room for the dice to be shaken around so that their various surfaces can be turned upwardly. The idea in playing the game is to shake the dice within the box until letters are turned up from which a word can be spelled, and then to move the dice by shaking the box until the letters are 'alined in the proper way to spell a word, as shown in Fig. 2, without turning them over. In other words, the first action is to turn up letters to spell a Word and then to aline the dice in proper order to exhibit this word.
What I claim is 1. A game apparatus comprising a plu' rality of dice marked with the letters of the alphabet, no one die having the same letter as any other die of the series.
2. A game apparatus which comprises a series of'five dice, four of said dice having five letters of the alphabet thereon and the fifth die having six letters thereon, the letters on any one die being different than the letters on any other die.
3. A game apparatus which comprises a. shallow receptacle having a trans arent cover, a series of dice therein marke with the letters. of the alphabet, the letters on one die being different than the letters on any other die, the dice adapted to be shaken to turn up letters to make a word, after which the dice are shaken without turning them. 7 over to aline the dice to .spell the word.
HENRY V. BERGQUIST.
