JOHN GILL, OF NEYV YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT IN CRIBBAGE-BOARDS, 800.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 40.939, dated December 2 1863.
To all whom, it may concern- Be it known that I, JOHN GILL, of the city and State of New York, have invented, made, and applied to use a certain new and useful Improved Cribbage-Board or Counting-Table; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of my said invention, reference being had to t-heannexed drawings, making part of this specification, wherein- Figure 1 is aplau of my said counting-table, and Fig. 2 is a cross-section of the same.
Similar marks of reference denote the same parts.
Cribbageboards and countingtables have heretofore been made with rows of holes so spaced off and divided as to be convenient for keeping account or tally in the game of cards known as cribbage, and pins have been provided so as to be changeablein such holes.
The nature of my said invention does not consistin a counting-table itself, or in movable pins; but it does consist in a peculiar construction of movable or sliding pins with fiattened ends introduced from below the board and passing through holes inthe same, and so fitted that they may be drawn up, but cannot be drawn out, and thereby can be used as a eountingtable in such games as cribbage, in which one hundred and twenty-two pegs are required for the playing of the game. \Vhen the pegs are notin use, they are pressed down and rest on a bottom board covered with felt, cloth, or similar material.
In the drawings, a is a plate or board perforated,with the holes inthe required position and number of rows, and this board or plate is sustained on a frame, I), which may be of wood or metal, and provided with a bottom plate, 0, and d d are screws passing through 0 into a, by which the parts are held together.
6 is a piece of felt held to the under side of a by a board, f, screwed on by screws 9, and both the felt and the board areperforated with holes corresponding to those in a.
h h are thepins or pegs,the lower end ofeach of which is flattened,so as to render the sametoo wide to draw up through theholesinf, e, or a; hence said flattened ends become stops for the pins. The upper ends of the pins should be turned off somewhat smaller to facilitate taking hold of them; and i is a piece of felt or cloth on 0, against which the ends of the pegs rest when pressed down.
The red lines in Fig. 1 illustrate theposition of lines that may be painted on the plate a to aid in designating the groups of pegs or pins, ten being provided in each group.
What I clainnand desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The sliding pegs or pins with flattened ends, in combination with the perforated board or table,constructed as andifonthepurposesspecified.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my signature this 12th day of October, A. D. 1863.
JOHN GILL.
