. GAME DEVICE.
,'Appliqation filed November 24,1320. seriaino. 426,139.
RATH, a citizen of the UnitedSvtates,fresid ing vat Chicago, in vthecountyof Cook 'and State of Illinois, have, invented acertaijn- My-vin'vention relatesto garneidevices, andl the object is to provide a device adapted to test in an interesting and elusive manner the skill and patience ofthe player. I accomplish this object by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Y i Figure 1 is a perspective view ,of the complete device, and
Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof, partly in central section.
Like numerals denote like parts in both views.
In the form selected to illustrate the invention a post l is mounted upon a platform 2 adapted to rest upon a desk or table. Rusing from the top of the post is a rod 3 which has a hook 4 formed at its upper` end. The
. rod is preferably resilient Vand is bowed so as to bring the hook 4 ata point considerably above and in front of the post. Suspended from hook 4 is a cordV 5 at the lower end of which is fastened `a ring v6. The height and form of rod 3 and the length of cord 5 are such that the ring Vmay engage a hook 7 projecting forward from a target 8 fastened to lthe front of the post. Hook 7V faces backward toward the ltarget and Vis preferably a screw hook adapted to penetrate the target and screw into the post. In order to increase the strength and durability of the connectionit is desirable that a collar 9 be formed at the foot of the hooked' vapart for shipping and storage purposes, and hence the post is provided with a cyliny drical pin 11 at the bottom adapted to Yfit snugly in a socket 12 formed in the platform 2. A layer of felt 14 is desirably se,-
cured to the4 bottom of the platform for .p ,Specification of Letters.Patentv i `Pgmtnted-N0Vf 29, 11921,
preventin lower end of .it beingfadapted yto be inserted the latter 'scratching polishedmsurface upon which it may be C placed.k Therodfis alsol demountable, the
into fa socketJlB sunk into the top of post 1. Y
The general. principle`V vkof operation ofthe device is this 'I he playergrasps the ri-ng52 and i draws it to aconside'rable vdistance from the hook and target. His object is to bring the ring to such position ythat when he releases it from his lingers it will swing overto and become engaged upon the hook, as indicated in dotted lines, Fig. 1. In-order that the player may accomplish this, it is necessary for him to bring the ring into such position that it will lie in a vertical plane con taining the hooks and 4. If the hook is released from the players lingers at a time when it is -not in suc-h plane or virtually so,
the ring will swing to one side or the other of the' hook and strike the target without touching the hook. If the ring is brought to the proper plane and then released, the ring will strike the hook but it may or may not be in such position as to engage it either when moving forward toward the target or 4rebounding therefrom. A'considerable element of chance enters into the play,` although an opportunity is .also aifordedffor skill in positioning the ring in the proper vertical plane and also holding it in such f position that it will be most apt to engage the hook when travelingdirectly towardV it from 'the front oron the rebound from the target.v By preference the target is made of stiff bristol board, paper board, or fiber and will have a certain amount of resilience which will tendto throw the ring backward, Vespecially if it strikes portions considerablyl remote from one side or the other of the hook. An added hazard arisesv from the factthat the rod Sis resilient. yBy pulling downward on the ring the player may bend the rod, so that when vthe ring is released the hooked end of the rod will vibrate and .y i
cause the hook to dance Sometimes-thisv v will cause the ring to more readily engage 'the hook but in any event an added element of uncertainty is introduced, thus adding to the interest of the play.
vIt will be evident that many ways Vof counting and rules for the game maybe provided, but the general principles are as above described, viz., the positioning of the ring in such rmanner that when released 'it will engage and be retained by the center hook 7. n
Having thus described my invention7 what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A game device having a platform, a post rising from it, a hook supported by the post and mounted a slight distance above the platform, a one piece metallic rod extending upward and forward fromY the hook, and a ring suspended from the upper end of the rod for swinging movement toward the hook and possible engagement therewith, the rod being freely resilient, whereby fleXure and release of the same will cause the. .ring to travel in an irregular Course during its swinging movement toward the hook.
Y *2. A game device having a platform with hook mounted in front of the target and having its point directed approximatelyv toward it, a oord suspended from the upper forward end of the rod, and a ring fastened to the lower end of the Cord, the eor'd being of a length approximately equal to the distance `from vther upper forward end ofthe Vrod. to the hook. 4In witness whereof, Iliave hereunto sub.-`
scribed my name.
