1 Claim.
Thepresent invention relates to games of a type intended to simulate the rolling of logs to a mill and embodies a game board having a surface provided with hazards over which a miniature log is intended to be rolled toward the central portion of the game board which represents the mill.
An object of the present invention is to provide a game device of this character which is amusing as Well as involving a certain degree of skill in the manipulation of the log, which is relatively inexpensive to manufacture and otherwise well adapted for the purposes for which the same is intended.
Other objects and advantages, reside in the details of construction as more fully hereinafter described andjclaimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof,
wherein like numerals refer to like parts through- 01 out, and in which- Figure 1 is a top plan view of the game board. Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view take substantially on a line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a side elevational view of the imitation kant hook employed for moving the log, and
Figure 4 is a similar view of a miniature 10 designed for use upon the game board.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, the numeral 5 designates the game board which may be constructed of light-weight metal, cardboard or other suitable stiff material, and preferably of square shape in plan, the edges of the board being bent downwardly and inwardly to form a flange 6 providing a marginal support for the board, as clearly illustrated in Figure 2 of the drawings.
A groove or ditch l is formed in the upper surface of the board extending circumferentially around the marginal edges thereof, the outer the walls 9 terminating in an upstanding bead III which extendscontinuously around the inner edge of the groove or ditch 1.
The surface of the board inwardly of the bead I0 is slightly inclined downwardly in aninward direction as shown at ll terminating in an inner continuously extending ditch orgroove I2, the latter being formed with spaced radially extending recesses l3 terminating at their inner ends in a raised fiat surface I 4.
The flat surface I4 is formed with an upstand- 10 ing rib l5 of annular form forming the marginal edges of a pocket 16 in the surface of the game board and which bears a suitable legend, preferably the word Mill.
In playing the game, a cylindrical game piece 15 I1 is provided having rounded ends I8 and, simulating a log. The game piece is placed in the ing rib I0 and finally into the pocket I 6.
It is believed the details of construction and manner of use of the various parts of the game 5 will be readily understood from the foregoing Without further detailed explanation.
Having thus described the invention, what I claim is-- A game device comprising a game board having .it)
a continuous surface groove adjacent the marradially extending recesses intersecting the last named groove and a pocket at the center of the board having walls rising from the surrounding :0
surface.
