GAME APPARATUS.
SPECIFICATION forming part. of Letters Patent No. 771,514, dated October 4, 1904. Application filed February l5, 1904. `Serial No. 193,487. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom, it may concern; Fig. 3 is a view in perspective of four diiier- Be it known that LWILLIAMH. EWEHNER, ent sizes and types of blocks employed in the a citizen of the United States, residing at Gerplaying of the game. mantown, -in the county of Philadelphia and Referring to the. drawings, A is the game- 5 State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain board, consisting of two members a and d, 55 new and useful Improvements in Game Appreferably hinged to each other at a2. rIhe paratus, of which the following is a specifical member a is recessed, as shown, to form the tion. outline of the field of the game, within which My invention has relation to game apparafield at the center a ball-block is normally Io tus in the nature of apuzzle, and in such conpositioned between the umpire and ref- 60 eree blocks c and d. Also within the. field are positioned the different series of designated or lettered man-blocks e and three-quarter or L-shaped half-back7 blocks f,f, 2, and
3, all occupying in the start of the game their 65 normal positions. (Illustrated in Fig. l of the drawings.) The cover member a of the board I5 defined moves about the field of the board to cover member 1s closed onto the member a, 70 lettered blocks of different-shapes and sizes i and a ball-block cooperating with the lettered blocks, so as to be shifted from acentral position in the field-board to a goal position at eiclher the north or south end of said oar My invention, stated in general terms, consists of a game apparatus constructed and arranged for playing the game substantially as hereinafter described and claimed.
The nature and characteristic features of my invention will be more fully understood from the following description, taken in connection with the l accompanying drawings,
blocks of the field of the member a will be held in place safely in the recessed portions thereof. The printed representation g of the member a'is pasted or otherwise secured into 75 the member a become disarranged to readily 8O game or puzzle or for any other purpose in which symmetry of arrangement of the blocks in the field of the game-board is desired.
he purposeV of the puzzle or game herein- 85 before described is to so manipulate the different man and half-back blocks, as well as-the the board recessed to form a field with the umpire and referee blocks, that the ball-block different types of lettered blocks occupying b may be moved either forward or sidewise, or 40 their normal positions therein and the other both, from the center of the field, but not back- 90 half complementally recessed and lined with Ward after the starting of the ball-block until a representation of the designated blocks of it is finally shifted into the goal place at the iield, the two members of the board being either the extreme north or south position of preferably hinged together and the board with the recessed board a, represented in the northe different types orforms ofblocks embodymal position of the blocks within the field, as ingthe main features of mypresent invention. shown in Figrl, by the spaces in which the ig. 2 is a transverse central sectional View full-back blocks, lettered F.B. F.B., of Fig. l, showing the two members folded are held. In order to move the ball-block it and also showing certain of the blocks in pois essentially necessary that the recessed field O sition in the recessed field of the board; and of the board should be provided with four of IOO Figure l is a top or plan view of a footthe said L-shaped or three-quarter half-back blocks f', f2, f3, and ft, and they must be so shifted and turned by change of position in the llield as to engage each other to constitute as to all of them substantially a three-block space, and thus to make available an extra block-space of the field for the free manipulation of the ball-block in the direction of the goal at either the north or south of the board. This is accomplished by interlocking the four L- shaped or three-quarter blocks in pairs to form two rectangular blocks each a space and a half long and a space wide. Then the ballblock has been shifted to the goal position at the top or bottom of the board, the game is ended, and the respective different types of blocks are then restored to their normal position, according to the diagram of the cover member of the board.
Having thus described the nature and object of my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isr l. A game apparatus, comprising a recessed board constituting a field with goal places, a series of square blocks and a series of throequarter or L-shaped blocks arranged to be shifted in the field and a square ball-block adapted to be shifted from a center position to a goal position of the field, after the L- shaped blocks are interloclied to form rectangular blocks.
E2. In a game apparatus, a board consisting of two connected members, having complemental recesses, whereof one member constitutes a field for playing the game, and whereof the other constitutes a cover and in its recessed portion is provided with a representation of the field with the normal arrangement of the different series of blocks therein, square lettered blocks and three-quarter or L-shaped blocks arranged to be shifted in the field, a rectangular referee-block, arectangular umpire-block, and a square ball-block adapted to be shifted from a center position to a goal position at the north or south of said field, after the L-shaped blocks are inter-locked to form rectangular blocks.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
