F. HESSE.
PUZZLE.
No. 530,774. Patented Dec. 11, 1894.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
FLORENCE HESSE, OF FREDERICK, MARYLAND.
PUZZLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 530,774, dated December 11, 1894.
Application filed March 31, 1894- Serial No. 605,869. (No model.) I
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, FLoRENcE HEssE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Frederick, in the county of Frederick and State of Maryland, have invented and produced a new and original Article of Amusement in the Nature of a Puzzle," of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, showing a part thereof, in which Figure 1 represents a plan of the board on which the puzzle is to be worked out. Fig. 2 is a diagram on which the direction that the pieces can be moved is indicated by arrow points, and Fig. 3 represents one of the men or pieces with which the puzzle is to be worked out.
The board on which the puzzle is to be worked out can be made of any material, but preferably of stiff card board. The board is divided into spaces which may be of any shape but which are represented in the accompanying drawings as squares, and twelve of these squares are particularly designated in some way. In the accompanying drawings twelve of the squares are designated by a star being placed on each of them. In two corners of the board, (in the drawings the two lower c0rners,) six of the spaces are numbered, or in some way designated differently from any of the other spaces. In the accompanying drawings the six squares in the lower left hand corner and the six squares in the lower. right hand corner are designated by being numbered respectively from 1 to 6.
The men or pieces necessary in the working of the puzzle can be of any shape or character.
As represented in Fig. 3, they are made to re- 1 semble little pawns.
The idea in playing the game or puzzle consists in placing six of the twelve men in six of the numbered squares in one corner, and
the other six in the remaining six numbered squares in the other corner, and by a series of moves, made only by jumping one man over another, which jumps can be made in any direction, as indicated in Fig. 2, to get each man placed on a star.
What Iclaim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-- 1. A puzzle board, divided into spaces, certain of which spaces are particularly marked, and irregularly distributed therethrough, and certain other spaces, which are situated in two corners of the board, are designated as the points where the pieces, with which the puzzle is to be worked out, are to be placed, and from which they are to be moved, as described.
2. A puzzle board, divided into spaces, certain of which spaces are particularly marked and irregularly distributed therethrough, and certain other spaces which are situated in the adjacent corners of the board, are designated as the points where the pieces, with which the puzzle is to be worked out, are to be placed, and from which they are to be .moved, as described.
3. A puzzle board, divided into one hundred and forty-four spaces, twelve of which spaces are particularly marked and irregularly distributed throughout the board, twelve other of the spaces, the six in each of two adjacent corners of the board are difierently marked as the points where the pieces, with which the puzzle is to be worked out, are to be placed, and from which they are to be moved, as described, the remaining spaces are unmarked.
