6 Claims.
The game apparatus which constitutes the present invention, has its genesis in the Scotch game of curling, modified and adapted to be played upon land, and especially in small parks or other sport centers, created and set aside for thi purpose.
Curling, as played in Scotland, is a winter sport, and involves the use of a sheet of ice, as upon a stream or lake, upon which Ts are inscribed within a boardhead or large circle, of which there are two, one at each end of the rink which is usually about 114 feet in length. In alignment with the Ts, a central line is drawn to a point 4 yards back from each T. At this point, foot scores 18 inches long are drawn at right angles thereto and on each of these lines at about 6 inches from the central line, the heel of an iron plate or crampit is placed, and upon which the players stand to deliver the stone. A line called a hog-score is usually drawn across the rink at a point some distance in front of the TS and provides a point of elimination for plays, for all stones played must cross this line or be eliminated from the rink, subject to certain exemptions, rules and regulations.
The game as played in Scotland or other places using Scotch procedure, rules and regulations, comprises 4 persons on a team, operating under a captain. And without going into minute detail, each person on a team and in rotational order, takes his stand on the crampit and plays his stone or stones in such manner as to cause the same to slide upon the heel thereof to the T, or as nearly so as possible, but which stones must cross the aforementioned hog-line, or generally speaking be removed from the ring, and in scoring, each stone of a side or team that lies nearer the T than any of the stones of the opposing side, counts a point, so that a possible score of 8 points can b had for one team or side in one inning.
With the preceding historical matter in mind, it is a prime object of the present invention to provide a manufactured field upon which the game may be played, the playing field being in the form of a smooth and hard rectangular area of sheet steel, having scoring areas placed adjacent opposite ends thereof, and including chutes along the longitudinal edges thereof which are adapted to and do receive gliders which move out of bounds during a play.
A further object of the invention is to provide a glideway construction which affords a smooth chutes along the longitudinal edges thereof, being supported upon a concrete base in such manner as to be susceptible of control whereby the playing surface may be brought into a true horizontal plane or may be inclined from a horizontal plane, the support being concurrently adapted to prevent creepage or other movement thereof.
A still further object of the invention is to provide facilities with which the game may be played, which is extremely novel, a game which holds the interest of the player, and which is promotional of development of a high degree of skill therein.
A still further object of the invention is to provide facilities with which the game may be played,
- which is promotional of health, educational and cultural values.
A still further object of the invention is to provide facilities with which the game may be played which is promotional of community values in affording an attractive, novel, and pleasant activity for young people, and for all those who enjoy an activity which is diversionary and interesting.
Other objects, features and advantages of the game may be apparent from the accompanying drawing, the specification, and subjoined claims.
In the drawing, of which there are 8 sheets:
Figure 1 is an idealistic view showing a number of gliding areas grouped together in the form of a sport-center arranged in a harmonious environment whereby those qualities which make for pleasure and relaxation are best attainable.
Figure 2 is a plan view showing three of the playing fields grouped together, showing the hard surface formed of sheet steel plates made rigid and monolithic by angle-irons placed transversely thereof, the whole of which, including scoring areas, the chute along the sides of the fields, and in general, those pertinent things related thereto which are visible in a top-plan view.
Figure 3 is a view taken along line 3-3, in Figure 2, showing construction of two of the playing fields in transverse sectional elevation.
Figure 4 is a plan view showing the concrete mat with anchoring bolts in place upon which the member forming the playing surface is fixedly secured; and
Figure 4a is a side-elevational view thereof.
Figure 5 is a front elevational view taken along lines 55, in Figure 4 showing the concrete mat upon which the members are adapted to be fixedly secured by means of anchor bolts, the view also shows means to drain the soil of excess water whereby the whole of the foundation area may be kept firm.
Figure 6 is a view which is analogous to Figure 5, excepting that in this figure the sheet steel member, with a chute appended thereto, are in functional position.
Figure 7 is a, detail of construction showing angle-irons in transverse section, the same being adapted to stifien the play surface, the view being taken substantially along line 7-!, Figure 4, excepting that in this latter figure the sheet steel surfacing of the play surface is not present.

Figure 11 is a view of a playing fieldin trans; verse sectional elevation showing pressure means operable in conjunction with the anchor bolts whereby the metal member forming the playing 2 taken along lihe'lBgfitfjFiguf'et 12; 7
As shown in Figure 1-,' a lu'ral number of play fields 2e are grouped togetherih'parall'el rela tions hip', with intervenir'igstrips" 22"of flooring therebetween; where-brine fields ar' defined and set-oil? to pleasant advantage.

Th'e'number ofknee braces 40 used'p'e'rplaying fieldinstallation may vary within limits, depending upon the guage of the metal used and as tdopiniori in the matter-of degree of rigidity required, however, it is my pref erence to make the area'5'l feet long, and in this length I install 16 knee braces upon each 'of the sides of the fields'20, andfind'that this number is suflicient to rigidly supportthe' chutes intheir functional relationship to the" fields.
The foundation upon which'the ufields zileare in showing a stiffener employed transversely of tli e located is that of concrete strips 44 resting upon a like area of broken stone 46 in a shallow excavation 48 in the earth, in the medial longitudinal center of which I preferably place drain tile 5!? to facilitate drainage of excess water whereby the whole of the foundation may be kept firm and dry within iinppsid 'tblerancesfivf'lj in e pesea between thc'on'cret strips 44 and the new sheets 25 of the field 29 I place a matting 45 of felt or other material adapted to cushion and deaden resulting, tr om movement of the gliders 41 over the surface of the field, and which mate- I to resiliently support the et 2 when being drawn down upon he'purpos of moving the playthe bolts "52 a ing surfacetoiion'from a horizontal plane.
