UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JASPER H. SINGER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
BAGATELLE-BOARDI SPECIFICATION forming partof Letters Patent No. 424,141, dated March 25, 1890.
Application filed October 12, 1889. Serial No. 326,819. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JASPER H. SINGER, of New York city, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved 'Bagatelle-Board, of which the following is a drawings, forming a part of this specification,
I in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both views.
Flgure 1 is a plan view of a game-board embodying my invention; and Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal sectional view of the board, taken on the line 00 so in Fig. 1.
In the drawings, A represents a board,which is arranged to be supported at one end by a block B, or any other convenient support. At the lower end of this boardA there are a number of pockets 0, each designated bya numeral, as shown. Upon the right of the board there is an alley D, which constitutes a guideway for the marble or ball L used in playing the game. This marble or ball may be advanced through the alley in any desired way; but in practice I prefer; to provide a plunger E, in connection with which I arrange a spring F, the arrangement being such that by drawing the plungerin the direction of the arrow and against the tension of the spring, placing the marble in advance of the plunger, and in then suddenly releasing the hold upon the plunger the marble will be advanced and travel up through the alley round the upper part of the board, and then down to the pockets 0.
Upon the board there are arranged a number of baffle-pins a a, and there are arranged other pins 19, which constitute pockets or stops, each properly numbered. Near the lower end of the board, directly above the pockets 0, I mark spaces 0, to indicate the position for markers H, against which the ball will strike in rolling down the board during the progress of the game, and the markers H, when so struck by the ball, will bethereby pushed or moved down into the numbered spaces M, which are arranged below the markers, and such movement of the markers will count according to the numbers given to the spaces M.
At any suitable place on the board I arrange a pivoted or revoluble arrow or pointer K, and beneath or near the pointer I place suitable numbersas, for example, 5, 10, 15, 20and the number toward which the pointer points when it comes to rest will count when the game is played. If desired, the face of the board beneath the pointer K may be provided with a dial I, divided into numbered spaces, as shown. Above the pointer K, Iarrange a series of numbered spaces R, and upon the spaces I place movable pins R.
In playing the game any desired set of rules can be adopted; but it will be found that by providing the board with a revolving pointer K the interest of the game will be materially increased, the object being to cause the ball or marble L, that is advanced by the plunger or otherwise, to strike the pointer K, and cause it to revolve, so that it will point to the number or space designated by the highest numeral.
Although I have illustrated and described a board provided with but a single pointer, I desire it to be understood that two or more pointers might be employed, mounted in connection with one or more numbered dials or spaces, and although I have mentioned a dial with numbered spaces, yet the spaces may have letters in place of numbers or characters, pictures, or simple colors, to which any desired values may be assigned when the game is played.
Having thus fully described my invention, I
