To allwhomt mag/concern: f Y
'Be it known that I, VHOWARD B. MINNIQK, a citizen of the United States, `rresiding at Chicago, in the county ofjCook.v and State of Illinois, have invented a certainnew andy useful Improvement in Games, of which'the l v erably a round lead-like weight,'like .a piece l .following is a specification.
'Ihe object o f `my invention islto provide 'van amusing, interesting and quasi-educareferred to. Y
the movable objects, the platesr thereof be-` tional, game requiring a degree of'skill toY secure the most Asatisfactory'Qresultsfto the player.
vA further object isrtoV provide suehfa gamefand rules governing the same, that ity lmay partake of the nature of a ycompetitive play between those engaging in it, the playnot` being limited to any certain nun'iber-l of people. I Y A further object isk to provide such a construction for my device that itrwill. be strong, durable, and inexpensive to produce,
and it will be easily operated and underf stood.-
My invention consists primarily in a plate provided with a number of recesses adapted .to receive, andretain when placed therein, movable and erratically moving objects, the
recesses being-numbered to denote la 'certain'.
number which is to be added or subtracted, as the case may be, from the players total score when the object comes to rest in its recess.4 'Ihe plate is preferably provided with upwardly extending flanges on all of its sides so as to; keep the moving objects from rolling off the plate. A preferable construction is to havethese sides extend uplp wardly inbox form, and to place atransy parent material over the top,thereby come pletely closing the moving objects Within a box, the base of which constitutes the ,plate In the drawings I have illustrated af preferable construction for my device, in' which Fig. 1shows a planviiew.

lof shot) enclosedwithinf the'two members forming the capsule. TheV vni'imerals 15 indcatewthe yupwardly extendingY sides of the plate, and the numeral k16 indicatesthe transparent-`material i (preferably glass) which@ forms a top which is secured on top of the flanges,r the [whole ofthe plate,rsides and top forming a boxlikeV arrangement with a transparent top.l
As above indicated, the recesses are'numrbered asy desired, and for symmetry and pleasing appearance, `these are arranged cir'A cumferentially around a center, the plate'being painted with stripescircling the center, similar to afbulls eye on a target.
.inmy modified form (Fig. 4)1 show y hazards 17, which 'may be placed inV closeproximity to the, recesses, to thereby Vmake it moreediiiicult for the voperator to seat a capsule within ay particular recess.
The rules governing the game played are preferably thatI when one of the plurality of moving objectsbecome seated in azero recess, that `the total number `of the score obtained from the addition of the numbers accompanying the recesses. in which the other objects seat themselves shall be deducted' from thetotal score of the.
