Be it knownthat I, ALEXANDER FgKonlrt-e SKI, a citizen of the United States, andres1-* dent of Milwaukee,"in-' the county o'f'MiL' Waukee and State 'ofWVisc'onsim'have' invented new and useful Improvements in i in games, and more particularlyto-a target i dislodgment by l vide agame wherein the targets are so con-- Games,'of which the following is adesoription, reference being hadto the accompany fication'. H g, g This lnvention relates to Improvement game wherein the targets are susceptible of means of missiles directed thereat.

' It is one ofthe Qbj ects-ofF-the present 'invention to provide a game wherein the tar:

A furthenobject-of the invention is to is of very'simple construction, is strongand durable, is inexpensive to manufactura'and is well adapted for the purposes described With the above and'ot her objects in view, the invention consists of the improved game,

and'its parts and combinations'as set forth in the claims, and all equivalents thereof. -I'n'the accompanymgdrawmg in which the same reference characters indicate the same parts in all of the views:

The targets, as aforementioned, vare formed to represent any suitable and characteristic figures, Obviously, in. this form'of the in vention the device may-be readily disassembled for packing. a

In playing the game,the targets are positioned on or connected to the rack in any;

' of the three ways previously mentioned and;

missiles are directed thereat with a view of dislodging anyor all of the targets utilized.

It should be un derstood that such changes in the precise embodiments of the invention herein set forth, may be made as come with- I in the spirit and scope of the appended claims. a r r 7 From the foregoing description it will be seen that the improved game is of very simple and novelconstruction, and is well adapted for the purpose set forth.
