Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 7, 1909.
Application filed May 7, 1909. Serial No. 494,618.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FANNY E. S. SMITH, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of St. Louis, State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Solitaire-Boards; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and'use the same.
This invention relates to game devices, more particularly to devices of this character employed in playing the game of soli taire, and has for one of its Objects to provide a simply constructed device for holding the cards in convenient position for access and reference by the player.
Another object of the invention is to provide a simple portable device of this character which may be arranged in any convenient locality, and which will enable the player to manipulate the cards without fatigueor delay.
Another object of the invention is to provide a simply constructed and portable device which may be distended for use and located at any convenient point, and folded into a relatively small space when not in use for storage or shipment.
\Vith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction as hereafter shownand described and then specifically pointed out in the claims, and in the drawings illustrative of the preferred embodiment of the invention, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the. 11nproved device in distended or operative position. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same in folded position, and enlarged. Flg. 3 IS a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1, and enlarged.
The improved device comprises a board or base member 10, which may be of any required size and of any suitable material,
but will preferably be of paste-board covered by suitable fabric such asbookbinders cloth or the like, and boundat the edges as shown at 11. Hingedly united at 12 to the rear face of the board is a supporting leg 13, the leg being connected to the board by a will preferably be of cord of suitable strength, and will fold between the board and the leg when the device is in folded position as shown in Fig. 2.
The lower edge of the board 10 1s prefflexible brace or tie 14. The tie erably formed recessed as shown, and
hingedly connected at 15 16 at the lower edges of the board at the sides of the recessed lower portion are extensions 17-18, the extensions adapted to be arranged in longitudinal alinement with the body of the board as shown in Fig. 1, to increase the height if required. The extensions 17-1S are provided respectively with hooks 27-28, to hold them in their extended position.
F leXibly united at 19 to the face of the board near its lower edge is a shelf or bracket 20, the latter provided with flexible supports 21-22 to limit the downward and outward movement 'of the shelf and maintain the same in position substantially at right angles to the face of the board 10.
Arranged along the outer face of the board 10 near its upper edge are a plurality of pockets or card receptacles 23, the card receptacles being divided by vertical partitions24. The pockets 23 are formed of sufficient size to readily receive one or more playing cards of the usual size. The pockets are preferably marked with the usual chanacters employed upon playing cards, as shown.
Connected to the face of the board between the pockets 23 and the shelf 20 are a 'plurality of card supporting strips 25, each strip being secured by its lower edge and at its ends to the board, leaving the remaining portion of. each strip free, as vshown. The secured edges of the stripsare overlapped by the free edges of the strips as shown in Fig 3, whereby a plurality of card receptacles are produced extending longitudinally of the board, and partly overlapping.
. The terminals ofthe strips preferably .times and in convenient position for ready reference or access.
The shelf 20 it will be understood forms a convenient shelf to support the cards while dealing.
' of the board permitting the board to be supand like institutions, as the board with its receive cards, a plurality of card support ing strips secured by their lower edges to The improved device will be found very convenient for persons lying in bed, such as invalids or convalescents in hospitals and the like, the hollow or recessed lower edge ported over the body of the patient Without inconvenience or fatigue.
The improved device will be found very convenient for use in hospitals, sanitariums cardslarranged thereon may be set aside without disturbing the cards, and the game resumed when desired. This is another important advantage of the improveddevice will be obvious. A plurality of the receptacles at the upper edge of the board may be employed, and it is not desired therefore to limit the device to any specific number, neither is it desired to limit the board to any specific number of the longitudinal receptacles or pockets, and these may be increased or decreased as required without departing from the principle of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages. The longitudinal receptacles may also be formed of distinctive colors or otherwise marked to readily distinguish them, as will be obvious.
What is claimed, is
1. A device of the class described comprising a supporting board adapted to be held" upright, a plurality of pockets extending along the board at one edge and separated by vertical partition members and adapted to the board and arranged transversely of the same and overlapping at their free edges, and a dealing shelf mounted to swing from said board.
2. A device of the class described comprising a supporting board adapted to be held upright, a plurality of pockets extending along the board at one edge and adapted to receive cards, a plurality of card supporting strips secured at their lower edges to the board and overlapping at their free edges, binder strips at the ends of the board and extending over the ends of the card supporting strips, and a dealing shelf connected to said board, below said strips. I
3. A device of the class described comprising a supporting board adapted to be held upright, a plurality of pockets for receiving playing cards and located upon the board at one side, a plurality of card supporting strips secured by their lower edges to the board and arranged transversely of the same, and adealing shelf suspended from said board below said strips.
4. A device of the class described comprising a supporting board adapted to be held upright, a plurality of pockets for receiving playing cards and located upon the board at one edge a plurality of card supporting strips secured by their lower edges to the board and arranged transversely thereof, a dealing shelf mounted to swihg from the face of said board and below said strips, feet extensions mounted upon the lower ed e of the board, and means for supporting said extensions in longitudinal alinement with the body of the board. 9 I 1 In testimony whereof, I affix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
