PATENT GAME APPARATUS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Iatent No. 611,50 dated September 2'7, 1898. Application filed June 12, 1897.1 Serial No. 640,486. (No model.)
To an whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY D. PERKY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of W'orcester, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Game Apparatus; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and pable not only of affording a source of amuse-' ment and recreation to both children and adults, but which is also designed to afiord exercise of an invigorating and health-giving character to the player or players.
With these objects in view the invention consists in the novel construction and combination of parts, allas hereinafter described, and pointed out in the appended claims.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates a suitablebase, having at its central portion an approximately spherical socket or cavity a, a portion of which is formed in the base proper and the remainder in a removable cap-plate or portion A.
B designates a standard or post which is preferably constructed in a number of telescoping sections, as shown, the lower end of the lower section having a ball 13', which is adapted to fit in the socket or cavity a of the base.
1) indicates thumb-screws by means of which the several sections may be held in the desired adjustment, and 1) indicates sleeves or collars in which said screws are seated.
C designates a hub or disk which is screwed or otherwise detachably secured to the upper portion of the upper section of the standard. Detachably secured to this hub or disk are a and F by the player or players.
number (in the present instancefour) of horizontally-extending arms D, usually of wire, and carrying each at its outer or free end portion a suspended open basket E. The
hub or disk is usually formed with a rimflange d, which is notched, as indicated, for the several arms to rest in, as shown. Said arms may, however, be moved out of said notches into different positions on the rim of the hub or disk for the purpose of varying the horizontal positions of the catch-baskets. At its central portion is a basket F, which is similarto the baskets E of the arms. All of the baskets have protruding Wires or teasers h, the purpose of which will presently appear.
G designates a hollow inflated ball or balloon, preferably of rubber. A number of these balls are provided, and they may be, if desired, of different colors.
The apparatus above described may be used in playing a number of games or exercises, either with or without established rules, the principal features in all cases being the lodgment of the inflated balls in the baskets E This is accomplished by tossing the balls in the air, where they are to be kept by successive strokes until they are caught in the baskets. This feat is rendered more difficult by the presence of the projecting wires or teasers h, which tend to prevent the balls from remaining in thebaskets.
It will be readily seen that in addition to the amusement which is afforded by a game or pastime of this character the necessary exercise resulting therefrom is of a highly-beneficial character to the participants. To maintain a ball constantly in the air until it lodges The telescoping sections of the standard provide means for the adjustment of the baskets to suit the height of the players.
All the parts are made detachable in order to facilitate their being packed in a box or case of convenient size.
Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
l. The herein-described game apparatus, comprising a base, a standard loosely connected to the said base and angularly adj ustable with respect thereto, a number of arms supported by said standard, open baskets supported by the said arms,andlight balls adapted to be tossed into the air and caught in the said baskets, substantially as specified.
2. In game apparatus, a stand or base, a standard loosely connected thereto and an gularly adjustable, said standard being formed in telescoping sections, a number of arms supported from said standard, and open baskets suspended from the said arms, all substantially as described.
3. In game apparatus, a stand or base, a
standard loosely connected thereto and angularly adjustable, a number of horizontal arms supported from said standard, open baskets suspended from said arms, and Wires or the like projecting into the said baskets, substantially as specified.
4. The herein-described game apparatus, comprising a base, a standard having a balland-socket connection therewith and formed in a number of telescoping sections, means for securing the adjustment of the said sections with respect to each other, a hub or disk secured to the upper section thereof, a number of horizontal arms secured to said disk and extending therefrom, open baskets suspended from the said arms, and light balls adapted to be tossed in the air and caught in the said baskets, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
HENRY D. PERKY.
