SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 665,671, dated January 8, 1901.
Application filed September 15, 1900. Serial IIo. 30,165. (No model.)
T0 @ZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE B. CHAPMAN, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toys or Puzzles, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to that class of toys or puzzles in which a rolling globe is adapted to roll freely within an inclosed field and by the manipulation of the containing-field is intended to reach a desired goal difficult of attainment, and thus afford entertainment to the operator.
The object of the present invention is to provide a simple, cheap, and durable toy or puzzle in which the attainment of the goal is rendered very difiicult,yet possible, all as will hereinafter more fully appear, and be more particularly pointed out in the claim. I attain such object by the construction and arrangement of parts illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure 1 is a perspective View of a toy or puzzle constructed in accordance with the present invention; Fig. 2, a central sectional elevation of the same; Fig. 3, an enlarged detail elevation of the ball or globe; Fig. 4., a similar sectional elevation of the same at line Fig. 8.
Similar numerals of reference indicate like parts in the several views.
Referring to the drawings, l represents the iiat iield or base, inclosed by a marginal wall or fence 2, preferably circular in form, as shown, but which may be of any other required form, as the judgment of the maker may suggest.
3 is the goal, which in the present improvement is in the form of a vertical plate having 4e a central goal-recess 4 and inclined tracks 5, leading from the surface of the field 1 to said goal-recess 4, as shown. Such goal 3 is preferably arranged in the centerV of the field l, but may be arranged in any other part of such field without departing from the spirit of this part of the present invention.
6 is the rolling globeor ball of the present invention, formed With a central circumferential recess 7 ,dividing the globe-ball into two 5o semispheres, which are united together by a centrally-arranged stem 8, as illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4.
In use, .the operator, holding the field 1 in his hand, will manipulate the saine so as to cause the globe or ball 6 to roll upon the iield, with the object in View of having the central annular recess 7 of said globe straddle an inclined track 5 and roll into the goal 4.
Having thus fully described my said inven- 6o GEORGE B. CHAPMAN.
