UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE MUNROE ENDICOTT, OE CANTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
PLAYING-CARD.
iPECIPICATION forming part of Letters Patent No, 337,755, dated March 9, 1886.
Application filed January 20, 1886.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, GEORGE MUNRoE ENDI- COTT, of Canton, in the county of Norfolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Playing- Gards, of which the following is a specification.
My invention consists in playing-cards whose faces are smooth, but whose backs are roughened, in order to make a greater friction in dealing between the fingers and the backs of the cards.
The difficulty in dealing ordinary playingcards of a good quality is great when the hands of the dealer are not moist, because of the smoothness of the backs, as is well known; but when the cards are rougher, as in ordinary cards of an inferior quality, the friction be tween the cards, due to the roughness of the back of one and the face of the next, is so great as to more than offset any advantage of the greater friction between the fingers and the backs of the cards.
In my improved playing-cards the backs alone are rough, while the faces are smoothly Serial No. 189,125. (No model.)
calendered, as illustrated by the drawing, which is a cross-section of a card enlarged in order the better to illustrate my invention. The face a is as usualin playing-cards of good quality, but the back I) is roughened, as indicated in the drawing. It will be obvious that this roughening may be produced in a variety of Ways well known to workers in paper, such as grinding or filing to produce a rough surface, grooving with fine grooves, or embossing. Ordinarily the roughening is done before the sheet is printed or cut up into cards, but may of course be done upon the backs of finished cards.
The roughening may form an ornamental pattern, instead of extending over the entire surface of the back.
\Vhat I claim as my invention is- The improved playing-cards above described, having the face smooth and the back roughened, as set forth.
GEORGE MUNROE ENDICOTT.
