Description

rra STATES PATnN'r FFIQE@ TENPIN.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 682,498, dated September 10, 1901.
Application filed June 29, 1901.
.To ol/ZZ whom it may con/cern:
Be it known that I, RUDOLPH SGHARKOF- SKY, a citizen of the United States, residing at 1717 Clark avenue,Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tenpins; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will ,enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specific-ation.
This invention relates to an improvement in tenpins used in the game of bowling.
The object of the invention is to provide means to prevent the destruction of the equilibrium of the pins caused by the wear and injury to the bottom of the pins due to the use thereof.
In existing pins the wooden base soon becomes splintered or injured, so that the pins will not stand straight. The invention is designed to remedy this defect by providing a metallic ring secured to the pin and upon which the pin will stand.
Figure l is a bottom plan view of a tenpin provided with my improvement. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section of a pin.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, the body of the pin is indicated at 6 and the bottom thereof at 7. Extending 1ongitudinally within the pin from the bottom Serial No. 66,533. (No model.)
thereof between the middle and the outside edge of the bottom is formed an annular recess 8, which is concentric with the axis of the pin. Within said recess is placed and firmly secured, by cement or otherwise, an annular metallic ring 9, the outer edge of which projects slightly below the bottom of the pin, so that when the pin stands it rests upon the metallic ring. The ring is placed slightly within the outside edge of the bottom of the pin, so that it is less liable to cut or mar the surface of the balls when it is lying down. The ring is preferably made of brass and when in position does not materially change the looks of the pin or interfere with its liability to be knocked down when struck by a ball, which is an objection to pins having a metallic base of considerable mass.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is-
l. In a tenpin, a metallic ring embedded in, and projecting from,the bottom ofthe pin.
2. In a tenpin, an annular longitudinal recess in the bottom of the pin, and a metallic ring in the recess, the edge of the ring projecting slightly below the bottom of the pin.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
VRUDOLPH SCHARKOFSKY.
