Description
UNITED STATES PATENT` OEEICE.
RUDOLPH LINCKE, OF OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN GAME-TABLES.
Speciiication forming part'of Letters Patent N o. 194,522, dated August 28, 1877; application led i February 26, 1877.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, RUDoLPH F. LINCKE, of Oakland, county of Alameda and State of Y California, have invented certain new and useful `Improvements in Game-Tables; and Ido hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a vertical longitudinal section 0f my invention, and Fig. 2 is a View of the under or picture side oi' the table.
This invention nas relation to tables upon which a variety of games maybe played, the construction shown being particularly adapted to the gaine of billiards; and the invention consists in a top or frame ot'a billiard-table, the under side provided with or having a suitable painting or other picture, so that when not in use said billiard-table or irame' may be rcversed after being removed from its support, and hung upon the wall or other suitable place, which will have in appearance a framed picture, thereby using the table or` frame for two purposes.
ln the accompanying drawings, A represeuls a suitable stand or table of the ordinary construction, upon which rests a table-frame, B.' This frame l prefer being made of walnut or other wood, properly stained or gilded to represent a picture-frame, and when intended to be used as a billiard table or bed the same has stretched over it a suitable cloth, rawhide, or other material that will bear sufficient Weight of the balls, and upon this, if desired, may be placed a layer of cloth generally used upon billiard-tables. This cloth or rawhide, represented at a., is brought around strips b to iorm thecushions, and is clamped between the strips b and frame B by screws c.
lf prei'erable,the cushions may be lined with india-rubber, to cause the balls to re-v bound freely.
The outside molding of the frame B, when placed in position to be used as a game-table, need not necessarily be made to represent a picture-frame, but that portion of the frame B in View when the frame is hung up to represent the picture should be ornamental, to give to the whole the appearance of being a framed picture only.
The, picturel which is represented at G is placed upon the under side of the cloth a, and secured between the strips and ange of the frame B, said frame being provided with suitable screweyes d or other fastenings for the attachment of a cord by which the frame with picture may be. hung against the wall or other convenient place.
I do not wish to be understood as confining myself to a square frame, as an oval or other form of frame may be used, `as found desirable, and although I have shown and described a frame constructed to be used as a bed to play parlor-billards, it is evident that it may be so changed in form and construction as to play other gaines, such as bagatelle, parlorcroquet, or any game that would require a large surface or bed, without departing from the gist of my invention.
Having now fully'T described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A combined gametable and picture-frame, consisting of a portable bed, having on its upper side .the frame B and cushions b, and on its lower side an ornamental molding formed by extensions of the frame B, and a picture, O, all constructed and adapted to be used as and for the purpose described and shown.
