.T a/ZZ whom it may concern:
Beit known thatI, ALBERT MARVIN GRUBBs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Forest Grove, in the county of iVashington and State of Oregon, have invented a new and useful Game, of which the following is a speciication.
The invention relates to improvements in games or puzzles.
The object of the present invention is to provide an entertaining game or puzzle. Y
The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement ot' parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and pointed out in the claim hereto appended.
The figure of the drawing is a perspective View of a game or puzzle embodying the invention.
Referring to the drawing, 1 designates a shallow boX having curved ends 2 and provided at one side with a long compartment or stall 3 extending longitudinally oi' the box, and having a series of small stalls or com part-V ments 4 arranged adjacent to the long stall or compartment 3, and disposed transversely or facing one side of the box, and adapted for the reception of balls 5. The balls 5 are eight in number and are designed to be of difterent colors and to be stabled in the stalls or compartments 4 which are designed to be of colors corresponding to the balls 5.
The balls 5 are termed wild goats, and are actuated by tilting the shallow box, and the object ot' the game is to get the balls out of the central elongated depression 6 in the bot tom'ot` the boX termed a valley up a narrow notch 7 termed a bridge in their corresponding stables or compartments.
The boX or receptacle may be provided with a transparent cover to confine the balls.
The long stall or compartment 3 which is arranged at the side S of the boX, has one end open and its other end is closed by astraight portion of the adjacent end of the box; and the said compartment or stable 3 forms the side wall of that side ot' the box.
It will be seen that the game is simple and inexpensive in construction, and is adapted to afford a great amount of amusement.
What I claim is- A game or puzzle comprising a shallow box having curved ends provided in its bottom with an elongated depression and a narrow notch, a longitudinally disposed stall or compartment arranged at one side of the box, a series of small stalls arranged adjacent to the long stall and disposed transversely of the box, and a series of balls adapted to roll over the surface of the box and enter the stalls, substantially as described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
