GAME
Filed MICh 5, 1934 ATTO RN EY Patented July 9, 1935` UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
This invention relates to games and has for the primary object, the provision of a game apparatus for the playing of miniature horseshoes, wherein the game pieces represent horseshoes and are propelled mechanically from one goal to another so that skill and chance on the part of the players will be employed to alford maximum amusement for the players.
With these and other objects in view this invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, in which Figure l isa vertical sectional View illustrating a game apparatus constructed in accordance with my invention.
Figure 2 is a top plan View illustrating the same.
Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view illustrating the device.
Figure 4 is a perspective view illustrating onel of the game pieces.
Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral `I indicates a platform, the surface of which provides a playing `ield and arranged adjacent eachv `end of the platform are goals 2 partially surrounded by upstanding side and end walls 3 and 4, forming a part of the platform. Arranged centrally of the goals 2 are pins 5 suitably secured to the platform. YGarne pieces 6 are projected from one field to the other and the purpose of the game is to encircle the pins by the game pieces or the game piece coming the closest to the pin counts over the other game pieces during each projection of the game pieces. The game differs from the ordinary playing of horsel shoes in that the game pieces are mechanically propelled from one field to the other by projectors I instead of being manually pitched. Each The general outline of the game piece somewhat resembles a horseshoe.
Each projector 1 is of the same construction as well as its mounting to the platform and reference to one specically is thought sufficient to both.
Upstanding arms 8 -are secured to an end Wall 4 and have pivoted thereto a body 9 which carries an extension or guide IU. The body Sl is provided with a bore slidably supporting a rod II, one end of which carries a head I2 and the other end a handle or finger piece I3. The head I2 slides upon the extension IIJ and includes angularly related portions, as shown in Figure l, providing a seat for a game piece. Coil springs III are connected to the body and to the finger piece I3 and are tensioned by a pull on the nger piece I3 and when the latter is released the head I2 is propelled away from the body by said springs so as to project or throw the game piece on the head to the goal located at the opposite end of the platform from the projector which is under operation. j
The projectors 'I being pivotally mounted to the platformperrnit the players to vary the inclination of said projectors for the purpose of varying the flight of the game piece from the projector to the goal or pin and thereby add tothe playing of the game skill on the part of the player combined with chance.
Having described the invention, I claim:
A game apparatus p comprising a pivotally mounted body having a reduced attened portion forming an extension, ysaid body having a bore, a rod slidable in the bore with one end movable over the extension, a finger piece secured to the other end of the rod, a game element engaging head secured to the rod and having angularly related portions with one portion slidable on the extension, and coil springs connected to the finger piece and to the body, said body having grooves for the springs to rest in.
WILLIAM E. SPRIGGS.
