The box described above may be made of wood, pasteboard, fibre or any other convenient material. Its hinges may be in pairs, or one long hinge may be substituted for each pair; they may consist of a long piece of paper, cloth, etc., held in place by glue or by any other suitable adhesive. The
aps described above may be swung either to the left or right as desired. In the accompanying drawing the boardsurface is occupied by a chess board. But any game board desired may be placed hereon.
Boxes which serve both as containers and game boards, are already in existence. I, therefore, do not claim this combination broadly; but
claim:
1. A combination game box and board in To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FELIX BATH WADEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Tyler, in the county of Smith and Stat of 5 Texas, have invented a new and useful Oom-. bination Game Box and Board, of which the following is a s ecification.
The invention re ates to improvements in a game box, which when closed, is a container for the small appurtenances of the game; but, when open, becomes the board upon which the game is played; and the object of the improvements is to lessen the volume of th box so as to render the equipment more compact.
In the drawing submitted herewith, Figure 1 is a front View of the box when closed, and Figures2, 3, 4 and 5 show the successive operations in opening and unfolding the 20 box so as-to form the game board.
When the box is closed, the flaps are securely fastenedto the box proper by the locks 910,11 and 2512-'13, in the center of the side of the box. In the figure they are shown in phantom for purposes of clearness. These locks are hinges, of which the sections 9-1O and .1 312 are mortised in the top of the box, and the sections 1011 and25-12 are fastened to the side of the box by the snaps 1617 and 19-20, similar to the ordinary wallet or glove snaps, whose males 16 and. 19 are attached to the lock and whose females 17 and 20 are countersunk in the side of the box.
Figure 2 shows the first operation in the formmg of the board. It consists, as will be noted, in unsnap ing the sections 10- -11 and 12 of the fi locks, rotating them toward the to and ottom of the bo'x respectively, an fixing them hereon by means which the board is in sections, two of these sections being formed by the box proper and the others bein formed by separate boards hinged or otherwise flexibly connected thereto.
2. A combination game with the board in four sections, of which are formed by the box proper, and two sections of which are formed by sepbox and board two sections.
connected, to this 3. A combination whose board is in sectlons,
ox proper.
ame box and board two of which are formed by the box proper and two of which are formed b separate boards hinged or 15 otherwise flexlbly connected to the top and bottom thereof.
