To all whom it may 007mm:
Beit known that I, Gnoneu' EQAQ FAlRLElQZ a citizen of the United Statearesidmg at skill of the user is exercised in guiding a surface'projectile to a given point.
I provide a puzzle including an iron surface projectile member andan iron .barrier member, at least one of said members being magnetized. The puzz e preferably comprises a base having a'frim for confining the projectile and provided within the rim with one or more iron barriers, these barriersbee ing magnetized and having adjacent poles between which the projectile maybe passed. F or example, a barrier may be provided. in the form of a substantially complete circle, the adjacent ends of the barrier forming the poles of a magnet and the base beingprovided with a hole .or holes between such poles for trapping 'the projectile.
The accompanying figure of drawingis a perspective view of] the present preferred embodiment of my invention.
In the illustrated embodiment of my invention, there is shown a base 2 which is made of wood or other suitable non-magnetic material provided with a substantially plane surface 8 which is surrounded by a rim 4. I
Lying on the surface 3 is an iron ring 5 having adjacent ends 6 and 7. is magnetized and the terminal portions 6 and 7 form the poles of the magnet. Within the ring 5 is a'smaller ring Shaving terminal portions 9 and 10. The inner ring 8 is also magnetized and the portions 9 and 10 form the poles of this magnet. Within the ring 8 is a hole 11 andthe object of the puzzle is to so manipulate the base 2 as to cause one or more surface projectiles 12 to fall into the hole 11. When the game is started the projectiles, which are preferably.
iron balls, are placed outside the ring 5, as shown in the drawing. The only way the projectiles can be moved inside the ring 5 is between the poles 6 and 7, andv it will be found that the eifect of the magnetic poles 6 and, 7 on theprojectiles renders the action of the projectiles very erratic at this point.
' such barrier;
The ring 5 A hole 18 isprovided.adjacentgeach of the. a:

One inside the ring 5, the user mu st take i .great care'th'at theprojectiles donot drop into openings provided within and'adja-cent at 14. Holes 15 are placed between the holes 9 and 10 and correspondtofthe holes13 of the outer barrier ring 5." With this combi- I nation of holes and .the magnetic barrier, it

as the'diificultiesare greatlydncrease'dby the magnetic action ofthe barriers on .the' v projectiles. 1

that the projectiles 12 themselves become magnetized and/will not only cling to the barrier frings adjacent the poles, but will alsotend to hang close to such'rings at'other- Thismakes it extremely difficult to avoid the dropping of the projectiles into points.
the hole 14.
While I have illustrated a preferred-embodiment of my iuvention, it will be understood that it is not limited to the form illus trated and described, as it may" be otherwise embodied within thesoope ofthe following claims:
I clannr 1. A puzzle, lncludlng an lron. surface projectile member, and an iron barrier memher, at least one'of sald-members be ng mag" netized, substantially as described.
2; A puzzle, including a. base, an iron sur 'polesbetween which the projectile may be passed, the base having a hole therein between the poles for trapping the projectile,
, substantially as described.
5., A puzzle, including a base, an iron surface pro ectile movable over. the base, an
iron barrier mounted on the base, the barrier being magnetized, and having adjacent poles between which the projectile may be passed, the base having a hole adjacent each pole in the space between the poles for trap- ;ping the projectile, substantially as described. Y 6. A puzzle,including a base, an iron surface projectile movableover the base, a plurality of iron barriers mounted on the base within one another, the barriers beingimag netized and having adjacent holes between which the. projectile may be passed, and the base havingholes therein between the, poles of each barrier, substantially as described.
7. A puzzle, including a base, an iron sur-.
face projectile movable over the, base, an
. iron. barrier mounted on the base, the barrier being magnetized and having adjacent holes between which the projectile may be passed, and a second barrier within the first,
the barriers being spaced apart to provide apath for the projectile, the base'having a hole therein adjacent the inner surface ofthe first mentioned barrier for trapping the projectile, substantially as described.
8. A puzzle, including a base, an iron surface projectile movable over the base, an
1 iron barrier mounted on the base, the barrier being magnetized and having adjacent poles between which the projectile may be barrier for trapping the projectile, substantially. as described.
9. A puzzle, including a base, an iron sur face projectile movable over the base, an iron barrier mounted on the base, the barrier being magnetized and having adjacent poles between which the projectile may be passed, the base having a hole between the poles for dropping the projectile, and an inner barrier mounted on the base, the inner barrier being magnetized and having adjacent poles between which the projectile may be passed, the inner barrier being spaced from the first mentioned barrier, the base having a hole between the poles of the inner barrier for dropping the projectile and the base also having holes, adjacent the inner surface of the first mentioned barrier-for trapping the projectile, substantially as described.
