UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.
This invention relates to a croquet wicket which is adapted to be mounted or positioned on a rug in such a manner so as not to injure the rug, either in placing' the wicket, or in playing 5 the game.
An object of my invention is to provide a croquet wicket with outwardly extending spurs at the lower end thereof, which spurs project into a rug.
Another object is to provide a croquet wicket formed of wire, the natural spring of the wire serving to project and hold outwardly extending spurs into the nap of a rug.
Still another ob-ject is to provide a croquet 15 wicket of the character stated which is simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture and eiective in use.
Other objects and advantages and features of Referring more particularly to the drawing,
30 the numeral I indicates a substantially U shaped wire, forming the wicket through which acroquet ball is driven. The wicket includes legs 2 and 3, on the lower end of whichare xedly attached cup-shaped rfeet 4 and 5. The feet 4 35 and 5, are preferably concave and they bear against the rug for the purpose of stabilizing the wire I, when in use. Spurs Ii and I are xedly attached either to the foot 4 or 5, or to the lower end of the legs 2 and 3. The feet are soldered, welded or otherwise xedly attached to the lower end of the legs 2 and 3, and the spurs 6 and 1, 5 are soldered, welded or otherwise xedly attached to either the feet or to the lower end of the legs. The spurs 6 and 1, extend downwardly and outwardly from the feet 4 and 5 and said spurs are substantially in alignment in the plane 10 of the wicket. It will thus` be evident that when the spurs are injected into the rug or carpet, the feet 4 and 5 will be placed tightly against the surface of the carpet and the spring of the wire I, will hold the spur securely in the position as shown in Figure 1. In Figure 3, the leg 8 is swaged above and below the cup 9, as shown at I0. The spur I I is integrally formed with the leg 8, and the position and arrangement of this spur is substantially identical to the construction previously described. y
Having described my invention, I claim:
1. A rug croquet wicket comprising a wire arch, a substantially circular foot on the lower end of each leg of the arch, the lower end of each leg of the arch being formed as a spur, said spurs projecting downwardly and outwardly and being arranged in the plane of the arch.
2.fA rug croquet wicket comprising a wire arch, a spur integrally formed on the lower end Y of each leg of the arch, said spurs projecting downwardly and arranged in the plane of the arch, a cup shaped foot mounted adjacent the bottom of each leg and above the spur.
