Description

Patented Apr. 21 1931 UNITED STATES RUSSELL s. WEHLER, or YORK, rEnnsYLvAn A v scone CARD W Application filed October 11, 1930. Serial No. 488,114.

This invention relates to a score card and pencil holder for miniature golf players or other games.

An object of the invention is to provide a score card with a plurality of loops formed by slitting the card, one of said loops extending downwardly from the card and providing a loop hole for receiving the second or third finger of the player and the other loop 1 extending upwardly from the score card for forming a loop hole receiving a pencil.

Numerous other objects of the invention will be apparent from a reading of the following description taken in conjunction with the drawings attached hereto and forming a part hereof, in which Figure 1 is a side view of the device shown attached to the hand of the user.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the device.

29 Figure 3 is an edge view of Figure 2.

Miniature golf courses ordinarily provide score cards and pencils but it frequently becomes convenient in hot weather to remove ones coat with the result that the scorecard and pencil must be laid aside during the putting operation which retards the progress of the game and due to the excitement or forgetfulness these score cards are frequently lost and an accurate record of the match is not obtained. 7

I have discovered that a score card may be suitably formed for insertion over ones second or third finger in such a manner as not to in interfere with the putting. a

Referring now particularly to the drawings, 1 represents a score card indicating the number of the holes and the parts thereof with blanks for records of the players score thereon. In carrying out my invention I slit this score card intermediate the top and bottom portions thereof to provide a downwardly extending loop 2. When this loop is pushed away, in a downward direction, from the score card, it defines a loop hole 3 situated in such a manner that either the second or third finger of the player may be inserted within the loop hole and extending transversely of the score card so that, when worn on the left hand, the

0 card is clearly visible when the elbow is bent.

These slits extend only partially the length of the score card leaving the space 4 for the players names.

For the purpose of providing a convenient holder for the pencil, I slit the score card as at 5 to provide an upwardly extending loop 6 of somewhat greater width than the downwardly extending loop 2. This pencil loop provides a loop hole for the pencil 7 as shown in the drawings. When in position the pencil, as shown, extends transversely of the score card and may be readily withdrawn from the loop hole for making a record of the eagles, birdies, or pars or other scores.

' As will be apparent, the score card when in place conforms to the curvature of the hand and does not in any sense interfere with the putting skill of the player.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is: V

1. A score card of the character described, comprising a loop portion provided by slitting the score card intermediate its ends for the insertion of a finger of the operator and a second loop portion, extending upwardly from the score card, for receiving a pencil.

2. A score card adapted to be attached to a finger of a player and being slitted intermediate its top and bottom edges to provide a downwardly extending loop for receiving the finger of the operator,'a second loop pos'itioned above the first mentioned loop and extending outwardly from the score card to provide a holding means for the pencil.

3. A miniature golf score card having slits extending vertically therein to provide a loop positioned intermediate the side portions of the score card, said score card having indicia' of the holes and record receiving portions for the holes played thereon on each side of said loop, said loop being adapted to be extended downwardly from the score card for receiving the finger of the operator whereby the score card is placed to a curvature substantially corresponding to the upper portion of the hand, and means for detachably securing a pencilalong a marginal edge of said score card.

4. A score card of the character described,

comprisin a loop formed by slitting the score car substantially centrally thereof, said score card having indicia and spaces for records on each side of the centrally disposed 100p said 100p being adapted to receive a finger of the player inserted transversely therein, a second loop of greater width than the first named 100p situated at the top p0rtion of the score card and extending outwardly therefrom for receiving a pencil.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
