GAME-TABLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 712,722, dated November 4, 1902.
Application filed March 20, 1902. Serial No. 99,176. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, EDWARD R. ROBBINS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sacramento, county of Sacramento, State of California, have invented an Improvement in Game-Tables; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same.
My invention relates to a game which is essentially a combination of billiards and ten-- pins.
It consists, essentially, of a long narrow level table solidly supported upon suitable legs having surrounding rails or cushions.
Centrally arranged with relation to said cushions is a narrow raisedtrack or path with depressed channels upon either side, the whole being covered with billiard or suitable cloth. At one end of this centrally-raised track are positions for miniature tenpins. Intermediate between the ends is a spot upon which the object-ball is placed, and near the opposite end of the track is a line or position within which a cue-ball is placed. By a stroke of the cue this ball is impelled against the spot-ball, and the latter, if accuratelystruck, will be driven along the track and against the pins.
Referring to the accompanying drawings,
Figure l is a perspective View of my invention.
same.
A isa table made of any suitable or desired length, as from eightfeet. to twenty feet, more or less. This table is solidly made and mounted upon legs 2, which bring it up to the proper level for playing upon. Through the center of the table, extending from near one end to the other, is a raised tlat track 3, and 0 on each side of this track are depressed surfaces of the table, as at 4. g
5 represents rails surrounding the table and having cushions, against which the balls impinge and by which they are guided if they leave the track after a stroke has been made. At one end of the track are placed the pins 6, which are similar pins known as tenpins,
Fig. 2 is a transverse section of the but of miniature size. At the rear end of the table behind the pin position is a raised cushion 7, which acts as a stop to prevent the pins or balls from being knockedofi the table.
8 isaspot or positionlocated centrally upon the track at some distance from the players end of the table, and 9 is a line across the track for a purpose to be hereinafter described.
The game is played as follows: The pins being set up at the end of the track, a ball similar to a billiard-ball is placed upon the spot 8, and the players ball or cue-ball, so called, is placed at a point inside of the line 9. This ball must be struck by acuein the manner of playing billiards, and the spotball being struck by the cue-ball is impelled forward in a more or less accurate manner to strike the pins at the end of the track. Great accuracy is required in impelling the spotball in order to properly strike and knock down the pins.
The table may be made in anysuitable man- 7c ner, so as to be level and solid, may be set up in a room, out of doors, or any convenient or suitable position, and may be of any suitable or desired length within the limits required by the skill of the players.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A game-table having an exterior surrounding rail with cushions thereon; a cushioned rear end extending above the table transversely across the same; a raised, longitudinally-extending trackway and of less height than rail of the table said trackway forming depressed channels or ways between its sides and the inner walls of the rail -and'having a designated mark between its ends and adapted to contain a spot-ball. I
In Witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand. I
EDWARD R. ROBBINS.
