GAME APPARATUS.
SPECFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 795,136, dated July 18, 1905.
Application liled June 22, 1904. Serial No. 213,656.
Be it known that l, HANS O. Knirnns'rnm,re siding at Barberton, in the county of Summit and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Game Apparatus; and l do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the saine.
This invention relates to game apparatus or boards similar to pool-tables; and it consists in the novel combination and construction of the parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.
ln the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan View of the game board. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same. Fig. 3 is an end view of the same. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the game board, showing a modification. Fig. 5 is an end View of the same. Figs. 6 and 7 are cross-sections showing two different ways of constructing the striking side of the table.
A is a rectangular table ywhich has three raised sides c. These sides c may have cushions like a pool-table or the cushions may be dispensed with. Pockets B may also be provided. At the fourth side or end of the table a side O without any cushions is provided, this side being the shooting side.
D is a iiat ledg'e on the surface of the table adjacent to the side C. The surface of the table may be flat or inclined or curved in any direction, and it is preferably inclined upwardly from the flat ledge D, as shown in Fig. 2, so that the balls E may return to the said ledge.
The side C is provided with projections f', which extend for a short distance over the flat ledge and form a series of stalls at the shootingside; but these projections may be omitted, if desired. The shooting side O is preferably curved, and its convex surface is arranged next to the table.
(if is a supporting-stand arranged ata little distance from the side C, and r/ is a striker', formed of a weight or ball, which is suspended from the said stand G by a connection 71.. The
connection /r consists ofa cord, chain, or other similar device which will permit the striker g to be swung freely in all directions. Then the striker is at rest, it hangs at the center of curvature of the side C of the table.
H represents the balls which are placed on the table and with which the game is played. T he balls H are placed on the ledge and against the side C and are propelled by means of the striker. The striker is drawn back, as indicated by the dotted lines. and is allowed to swing toward the shooting side O. The balls may be driven in a straight line into the pockets, or they may be shot against the sides c, so that they rebound into the pockets.
When the shooting side C is made high, as shown in Fig. 7 it is made of resilient material which will transmit the force of the blow of the striker to the ball which rests against it.
In the modification shown in Figs. 4i, 5, and 6 the shooting side (Y, against which the balls rest, is straight instead of being curved, and it is formed of a low ridge which permits the striker to come in contact with the ball and which prevents the ball from rolling oif the table. The supporting-stand is provided with a series of strikers g', similar to the striker g, and the strikers are arranged in a row parallel with the shooting side C. The game is played in a similar manner upon both boards, and the low shooting side may be made straight or curved, as desired.
l do not hereinafter claim the device shown in Fig. 6, in which a low ridge O/ is provided, which does not prevent the striker from moving the ball by direct contact; but l do not confine myself to the use of a table with a curved shooting side C, as shown in Fig. 1, nor to the use of asinglefstriker, as shown in Fig. 3.
What I claim isl. The combination, with a table provided with a shooting side of resilient material, of a support arranged adjacent to the said shooting side, and a striker suspended freely from the said support in line with the said shooting side so that it may strike the same.
2. The combination, with a table provided with a curved shooting side, of a striker suspended freely adjacent to the said shooting' side and normally hanging at its center of curvature, said striker operating to propel ballsover the surface of the table.
3. The combination, with a table provided with a shooting side of resilient material, and a series of stalls on its surface adjacent to the said side; of a support, and a striker suspended from the said support so that it may be caused to strike the said side.
4. The combination, with a table provided With a shooting side of resilient material, and
