Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 11, 1907.
Application filed April 2,1906. 'Serial No. 309,442.
To a/ZZ whom t may concern:
Be it known that l, CHARLES T. FINKBEI- NER, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Wilkinsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fans, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in fans, and the invention has for its primary object to combine a score card with a fan whereby the fan may be used for a double purpose by a spectator of a game, suoli as base ball, and other games played in the warm season of the year.
My invention aims to provide a fan that can be used as an advertising medium, a score card being embodied in the fan, whereby a spectator of a game, as base ball, may keep a record of the number of runs and innings of a game. ln this connection, l have used a strong and durable construction, in connection with the fan, yet maintaining an inexpensive article which can be readily used for advertising purposes.
With the above and other objects in view, which will more readily appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the
ksame consists in the novel construction, oombination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed, and referring to the drawing accompanying this application, like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, in which Figure 1 is a front elevation of a fan constructed in accordance with my invention, Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the same, Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view of a portion of the fan illustrating one of the revoluble disks thereof, Fig. 4 is a front elevation of one of the disks, Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional view of a portion of the fan, Fig. 6 is a front elev ation of a ring or annulus used in connection with the fan, Fig. 7 is a front elevation of another form of disk used in connection with the ian.
To put my invention into practice, l construct my improved fan of a disk 1 of card board, paste board or a similar inexpensive material. The disk upon its one side is ornamented either by the representation of a face or by a novel form of advertisement, the ornamenting and use to which the fan is put being arbitrary. To the one edge of the disk is secured a conventional form of handle 2 i i l i i i preferably made of wood, the handle being riveted or otherwise secured to the disk as at 3.
In the present instance, I have illustrated the fan as representing the face of the man in the moon,7 and in describing the location of the various disks used in connection with the fan, I will use the different parts of the face to designate the location of the various disks. The fan which l have illustrated is particularly adapted as a score card for base ball games, and in connection with the fan, l use a small disk 4 containing the names 5 of the various base ball teams of a league, these teams representing the visiting teams, which play upon the base ball grounds where the fan is used.
The disk 4 is revolubly mounted upon the rear side of the disk 1 by a rivet 6, said disk being located between the eyes of the face, whereby one of the names carried by the disk 4 will be exposed through a slot 7 adjacent to the right eye of the face, Jfiguratively speaking. The names upon the disk are arranged radially relative to the center of the disk, whereby the disk can be revolved to expose either one of the names carried by said disk.
The right eye ofthe disk 1 is provided with two rectangular openings 8 and 9 and revolubly mounted upon the rear side of the disk 1 by a rivet 10, adjacent to the rectangular openings 8 and 9 is a ring or annulus 11 and a disk 12, said annulus and disk having con- -secutive numerals arranged thereon, from Zero to nine. The disk is mounted within the annulus 11 and retained therein by a strap 14 carried by said annulus. The numerals upon the annulus 11 and disk 12 are exposed through the openings 8 and 9, and are adapted to represent the number of runs made by the visiting team.
Over the left eye, is printed the name of the home team, as Pittsburg and this eye is provided with two openings 15 and 16, in the rear of which is revolubly mounted an annulus 17 and a disk 18, said annulus and said disk being constructed similar to the annulus 11 and the disk 12 heretofore described. The annulus and disk 17 and 18 are employed for keeping the record of the number of runs made by the home team.
The annuli 11 and 17 and the disks l2 and 18, are provided with rearwardly extending knobs 19, whereby they may be easily and quickly rotated. It will of course be understood that the annuli are used for keeping the number of runs made by the teams, until IOO lIO
the runs exceed nine, at which time the disks are brought into use to maintain a reeord of all runs made above ten.
To maintain a recond of the innings played, I provide another disk 20 and annulus 21, said disk and annulus being revolubly mounted upon the rear side of the disk l in the rear of the mouth of the face, and I provide the disk l with two openings 22 and through which the numerals carried by the disk 20 and the an'nulus 2l are respectively exposed. The disk 2O and the annulus 2l are also provided with knobs 24 similar to` the knobs 19 carried by the other annuli and disks. In order that the large disk 4 may be easily and quickly rotated, the rivet 6 is provided With a button 25, to permit of its rapid rotation to move any of the names of the disk 4 to the opening or slot 7 of the disk l.
It is obvious that my improved fan can be readily used as a score card 'lor other games than base ball therefore I do not care to coniine myself to the specilie construction shown, as various changes in the size, arrangement and minor details of construction may be resorted to Without departingfrom the spirit and scope of the invention.
TWhat I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A. device of the character described, comprising a main disk having' a .handle secured thereto and provided with a slot and three pairs of openings, the openings oi each pair being located close together, a disk rotatablymounted on the back of the main disk and having a plurality of radially-disposed names thereon to be displayed one at a time through the slot in said main disk, annuli rotatablymounted on the back of the main disk, one for each of said pairs of openings, each annu lus bearing numbers arranged consecutively and adapted to be displayed. one at a time through one of the openings of said pairs ol openings, consecutively-numbered disks rotatably-mounted Within the annuli and lying in the same plane as the annuli transverse straps secured to the rear faces of the annuli and securing said consecutively-numbered disks Within the annuli, a handle-knob carried by each annulus to facilitate operating the same, and a handle-knob carried by each consecutively-numbered disk, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I aHiX my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
