Description
P. A. PETERSON AERIAL PROJECTILE BALL GAME Filed Dec. 18, 1959 FIG.2
FIG.|
INVENTOR. Peter A. Peterson ATTORNEY.
Unite States Patent Filed Dec. 18, 1959, Ser. No. 860,491 3 Claims. (Cl. 273-95) This invention relates to new and useful improvements in toys, and it has for its object to provide a toy game that may be played by children as well as by adults as this is not a game of chance, but one where the skill and dexterity decide the winning.
In the accompanying drawing, wherein similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts:
FIGURE 1 is a front elevational view of a toy; and
FIGURE 2 a vertical transverse sectional view of same.
Referring more particularly to the drawing the numeral indicates a base which at each end is formed with through reduced portions 11, 11a serving the purpose of giving leverage to the keys 12, 12a.
A housing 14 is arranged upon said base 10 and secured to the latter in any convenient manner.
Said housing, which may be made of plastic or any suitable material, has side walls 15, 15a and a curved roof 16.
Within said housing is centrally arranged a partition 17 extending from top to bottom of said housing thereby providing two compartments so that the game may be played by two persons, one from each side. The partition is around its edge provided upon each end with different colors having the form of flat circular surfaces 18, 18a; and these diiferent colors of which there may be any numher, but of which here are shown five, are arranged on opposite sides on each half of the partition; but the same number, that is five, on each side are arranged in the same order or rotation as to the colors.
A curved member 19 is secured within one compartment at one end and a curved member 19a is secured in the other compartment at the opposite end. Each of said members extends only half way across the housing, or to the center thereof forming an enclosure with the partition and front and rear wall, respectively, but open at the top. At the base are placed a number of balls 20 and 20a, ten in this instance. Said balls have colors corresponding to those on the partition, that is, there are two Patented Oct. 3, 1961 sets of balls, each set of five different colors, for each player.
The portion 21 of the base in one compartment slants downwardly toward one end, and the corresponding portion Ma of the base slants downwardly toward the other end, from which ends the balls are projected upward-1y in the compartment.
The game is played by each player tapping the left and right hand keys 12, 12a each from opposite sides of the housing, in trying to bring his five balls in position so that each ball of a certain color covers the circular surface or spot on the partition of the same color, and the player who first succeeds in covering his circular colored surfaces with the corresponding colored balls wins the game.
I claim as my invention:
1. A toy game comprising a housing having a base, side Walls and a curved top, a centrally disposed partition dividing said housing into two compartments, a curved member arranged in each compartment and extending an equal distance upward, each of said members forming an enclosure with the partition and an outer wall and being open at the top, the respective enclosures being adapted to receive a number of differently colored balls therein, said partition having an equal number of different colors arranged in equal succession upon each half side of said partition, paddles arranged at the base, said base being formed with cut-away portions, whereby to give leverage to said paddles, said paddles being adapted to project balls upward in the enclosures to cover colors equal to that of the balls.
2. In a device, as set forth in claim 1, wherein each of said partitions extends upwardly half of the circumference of the housing and terminates at one end at a perpendicular line from the top of the housing.
3. A device as set forth in claim 1, wherein the portion of the base "within each compartment slants downwardly from one end of said compartment toward the other end from where the balls are projected.
