' ,1910'. 986,157 Patented Maw, 1911.
JAMES FLEMING, OF TROY, NEW YORK.
GAME APPARATUS.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES FLEMING, a citizen of the United States, residing at Troy, county of Rensselaer, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Game Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to such improvements and consists of the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter described and subsequently claimed.
Reference may be had to the accompanying drawings, and the reference characters marked thereon, which form a part of this specification. Similar characters refer to similar parts in the several figures therein.
Figure l of the drawings is a top plan view of the hat of my improved gameapparatus. Fig. 2 is a central vertical section of the same taken on the broken line 2-2 in Fig. 1, showing the elastic ball resting in the cup on the upper side of the hat.
The principal object of the invention is to provide an apparatus for amusement and recreation, which will develop muscular skill and accuracy of sight in the user.
Referring to the drawings wherein the invention is shown in preferred form, 1, rep resents a bat, which may be made of wood, metal or other substantial material, having at one end a handle, 2, and at its other end at, 3, a striking surface on its underside, and opposite thereto on its upper side a flaring cup or receptacle, 4, adapted to receive an elastic ball 5. Bet-ween the receptacle, 4:, and the handle, 2, the bat is pro vided with an aperture, 6, adapted to freely receive the ball, 5, which aperture is surrounded on the upper side of the bat with a flaring-guide, 7, adapted to direct the ball, 5, toward the aperture, 6, when the ball strikes within said guide.
As an illustration of a game of skill which can be played with the described ap Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed September 10, 1910.
Patented Mar. 7, 1911.
Serial No. 581,376.
paratus, the bat can be grasped by the handle with the ball in the cup, 4, and by a movement of the bat the ball can be thrown to the ground or floor, and upon the rebound can be struck down by the bat, using the striking surface, 3, to give it a high rebound, as the ball descends from which the bat can be thrust beneath the ball in position to permit the ball to pass down through the aperture, 6, to the ground or floor, and upon the next rebound the ball can be again struck down by the bat to give it another high rebound. on the return from which it can be caught in the cup 4:. It will be found that it will require some skill and accuracy to put the ball through the series of movements stated. Various modifications of such movements will readily suggest themselves to the user of the apparatus.
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. A ga1neapparatus comprising a free elastic ball and a bat having a handle at one end, and near the other end a striking surface on one side and a ball-receiving cup on the opposite side, and provided between said handle and said cup with an aperture adaptedto freely permit the passage therethrough of said ball.
2. A game-apparatus comprising a free elastic ball and a bat having a handle at one end, and near the other end a striking surface on one side and a ball-receiving cup on the opposite side, and provided between said handle and said cup with an aperture adapt ed to freely permit the passage therethrougl'i of said ball, and having a flaring-guith-i surrounding and leading to said aperture.
In testimony Whereof,I have hereunto set my hand this 6th day of September, 1910.
