GAME-PIECE.
SPECIFICATION formingpart Of Letters Patent No. 729,489, dated. May 26, 1903-.
Application filed October 4, 1902.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, FRANK A. CIGOL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Paterson, in the county of Passaic and State of New J ersoy, have invented a new and useful Game= Piece, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates generally to gamepieces, and particularly to that class used in playing the game of dominoes.
The object of the invention is in a ready, simple, and thoroughly feasible and practical manner to obviate objection attending the use of dominoes of the ordinary character where used upon polished surfaces, resulting in marring and scratching the same and attended by a noise that is frequently objectionable; to render the piece non-breakable, and to impart to it the added novelty of a combined ink and rubber eraser.
With these and other objectsrin view thev invention consists, generally stated, in a game-piece composed of two plies of rubber vulcanized together and of different colors, one of the plies bearing on its face marks designating the value of the piece. The back of the piece will constitute an ink-eraser and will be colored black, and the front will c011- stitute a pencil-eraser and will be colored White, or approximately so. By thus imparting a distinctive color to two plies any mistake in their use will be obviated. This is of importance, inasmuch as in some instances a piece of work might be ruined by employing an ink-eraser where a rubber eraser was desired. It is designed to make these pieces up in sets of twenty-eight, corresponding to the number of pieces in an ordinary set of dominoes, the faces of the pieces being marked in the manner common with ordinary dominoes to indicate their values. In addition to thisfunction the markings also serve as a means of identification by the owner, especially where used by school children, for the reason that as there will be no two pieces alike in one set, so long as the markings remain intact, the different pieces may be Serial No. 125,978. (No model.)
positively determined by the different owners.
Where employed in playing a game of domi= In the drawings, Figure 1 is a view in perspective of a game-piece embodying the essentialfeatures of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a view in vertical longitudinal section thereof.
The game-piece comprises a back 1 and a face 2, the latter bearing appropriate designations, as spots 3, to indicate the value of the piece. The face 2 is made from white or approximately white soft rubber, and the back of black or dark rubber having an abrasive material associated therewith to constitute an ink-eraser, the two plies being vulcanized together, thus to present an integral structure that cannot become separated or damaged in use.
In employing the pieces for playing the game of dominoes they will be shuflied and handled as dominoes in ordinary use, and by reason of their flexible character the pieces will be absolutely noiseless in use and will not abrade or scratch highly-polished surfaces. \Vhen employed as a combined ink and pencil eraser, thedifferent-distinguishing colors between .the two plies will obviate making mistakes in the use of the piece, and, further, the designatingspots on the face will serve as a means of identification in case a piece be lost or misplaced.
Having thus described the invention, what I claim is Acombined game-piece and ink and rubber I11 testimony that I claim the foregoing as eraser composed of two plies of rubber of my own I have hereto affixed my signature in different colors and vulcanized together, one the presence of two Witnesses.
