ADVERTISING-PUZZLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 469,839, dated March 1, 1892.
Application iiled December 3 1890. Serial No. 373.428. (No model.)
To a/ZZ whom it T11/wy concern.'
Beit known that I, JOHN LAWLER LEAvITT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Grant, in the county of Valencia and Territory of New Mexico, have invented a new and useful Advertising-Puzzle, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to advertising devices constructed in the shape of small puzro zles, to which the advertisements are attached in any suitable way; and the object of the same is to effect improvements upon devices v of this character.
To this end the invention consists of the details of construction hereinafter mjore fully described and claimed, and as illustrated in the drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of a single puzzle embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a zo reverse view thereof. Fig. 3 is a perspective View of a double puzzle embodying my invention. Fig. 4 is a reverse View thereof.
Fig. 5 is a detail in perspective of the lowerx v portion of Fig. 4.
z 5 Referring to the said drawings, the letter B designates the body of my improved device, which consists of a piece of material (preferably card-board) having marked thereon advertising-matter, either directly, as shown in 3o Figs. l and 2, or by being embossed thereon, as seen in Fig. 3. In the latter case the body B is cut away or recessed and the advertisements are sunken therein, the same being covered with varnish, glazing, mica, glass, or
3 5 other transparent substance, in order that they will be prevented from becoming worn or soiled when in use.
I do not confine myself particularly to any especial form of advertisement, as the nature 4o of the same does not materially aect the invention, but employ a puzzle which consists of strings led through holes in the base and figures mounted upon the strings, the puzzle being to remove the figures.
In Figs. l and 2, the ligure is a ring, upon which is marked a sentence or sentences, as shown, and other advertising-matter may be placed upon the base,whereas in Figs. 3 and whose hands the puzzle falls to keep it and carry it home, which is the main object of devices of this character-that is to say, in the present instance the figures shown are a ring R, a girl G, and a ship S,and the words upon the base are: Release poor Carlotta, her boat, and the ring, and all sail to Clothing House, followed by the address of the clothinghouse or other firm in whose name the 6o advertising device is issued.
The puzzle consists in a base having holes, a string doubled on itself to form a noose, which engages three of said holes, the ends of the string being passed down through a remaining hole and joined by a wax or other ball W, and a ligure interwoven in the noose at the upper side of the base. In Figs. 1 and 2 the string Sstarts at l in the ball WV, passes at 2 through the base B, then through ligure K', 7o and back again to form the noose 3, then, downwardly through the base at 4, when its strands diverge, then upwardly through the base, as at 5 5, and the bent center 6 engages the noose 3. To remove the figure, the bent center 6 is drawn through the hole in the figure, passed downwardly through the hole. 2, around the ball WV, and drawn up again, when it will be found to be outside the noose 3, and hence the figure K is free. In F1gs. 3 8o and 4 the string S is similarly passed through the base and the figure R; but the ends of the string, instead of passing then directly through the base to the ball W, as at 2 in Fig. 2, pass through a knob K upwardly, and 35 are connected byaslip-knot with the two iigures G and S. From the knob K lead several tapes T, which pass downwardly at I through holes in the base and carry balls WV, and hence in this instance there is not a sin- 9o gle end to the string S', but practically fourthat is to say, to remove the ring R the bent centre of the string S is passed successively through the four corner holes and under the balls linstead of simply under one ball NV, 95 as in the single puzzle above described; but the result is the same-the figure R is released. The two figures at the upper end of the string can be easilv removed lov passing no way affects the puzzle on the base. The string S' slips through the knob K- to give it the required length; but the tapes T are fast in this knob. It will be found comparatively easy to remove the girl and the boat, and the operator then becomes interested and seeks to remove the 'ring R, which is much more diicult to do. The single puzzle device compri'ses a base B, which is a businesscard, (in the present instance of a hotel,) and the figure in this case is a ring K', upon which is printed or otherwise marked some attractive or facetious advertising-matter, or the adaptation of some well-known quotation or expression,preferably having reference to the goods sold by the house or to the advantage of patronizing that house. The holes in the base and in the figures are preferably provided with metallic eyelets I, through which the string passes, the advantage of this constructonbeing that the strings will-not soilor wear the base of the figures as qtheyare drawn through the holes therein, and thus afford a key to assist in the solution of the puzzle.
1. The herein-described' puzzle, the same comprising a base having three adjacent holes through its body,-a1 string bent at its-center with its strands passing downwardly through two of said holes and together upwardly through the third, a figure having a hole through which the strands then jointly pass back and forth, forming a noose embracing said bent center, the 'ends of the stringnally being passed downwardly through a fourth hole in the base,` and astop at the ends of the string, substantially as set forth.
2. The hereindescribed puzzle, the same comprising a base having three adjacent holes through its body, a string bent at its center with its strands passing downwardly through two of said holes' and together upwardly through the third, a gure having a hole through which the strands then pass back and forth, forming a noose embracing said bent center, the strands then leading through another hole in the base, and a ball on their ends larger than said hole, substantially as set'forth.
3. The herein-described puzzle, the same comprising a perforated base, a string bent at its center and having its terminals passed downwardly and separately through twofof the perforations therein,.thence jointly upwardly throughpa thirdV perforation, a ring `through Vwhich the terminals pass and beyond which they engage the center ofthe string, and the perforated object described, through which the terminals'of the string pass, and meansr for preventinga withdrawal of the ends of the string1 through the object, as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoingas my own I have hereto affixed myisignaturc in presence of two witnesses.
