GAME APPARATUS.
Application filed September 19, 1927. Serial No. 220,538.
This invention relates to game apparatus, and its objects are to provide apparatus having a game board and playing elenients therefor, and means for retaining the playing elements upon the board when the board is in a vertical or any inclined position as well as the usual horizontal position.
It is to be understood that the form of my invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same, and that minor alterations in size and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the in vention or the scope of the subjoined claims.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a top plan view of a game board device embodying this invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the board. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary and sectional view showing a retaining element in en gagement with a playing member. Fig. 4. is a perspective detail View of a retaining element. Fig. 5 is a side and detail view of a modified form of playing member. Fig. 6 is a side and detail view of a playing member, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3.
Referring to the drawings, my improved game apparatus consists of a board 21, having a series of holes 22 and 23 therein, and in each hole, a retaining member 24, in the form of an eyelet wit-h an opening 25, and depending spring elements 26. The playing membors each consist of a disk body 27, and an axial shaft member 28, having enlarged ends 29, adapted to be engaged by spring elements 26,
' when inserted in a retaining member. Each playing member is black on one side and white on the opposite side. but any two contrasting colors may be considered the equivalent thereof.
The peg-holes 23, have a red circle around them, and all peg-holes are located at the in tersection of lines 30 and 31.
In use, the board may be suspended by hanging on a wall, or may be placed in any desired position. The playing members are divided between t--e players. To illustrate one game that may be played with this apparatus, the same may be described as follows: One player determines to use the membars with the black side up, and the other player the white side up. Then a player inserts a playing member as in starting the game, in a peg-hole 23, designated by the red ring around it. serts a playing member in an adjoining peg hole. Each player endeavors to place five of his playing members in line, which, when attained; scores a count, and also endeavors to block the opposite player from placing live men or playing members in line.
Other analogous games may be played with this apparatus, the primary object attained being to retain the 'pla ed men or playing members in their playe position, regardless of the position of the game board.
I claim as my invention:
1. In a game apparatus, the combination with a game board having a series of peg holes therein, of spring retaining elements mounted in each peg hole, playing members adapted to be inserted in the peg holes, and consisting of a disk-like body having contrasting colors on opposite sides, a central axial shaft extending through each disk body and projecting from opposite flatsides of the disk, and enlarged heads on the extremities of the axial shaft, adapted, when inserted in the peg holes. to engage with the spring retaining elements. therein.
2. In a-game apparatus, a game board having peg holes therein and lines thereon connecting the peg holes, spring retaining means disposed in each peg hole, and playing members having one color on one side and a contrasting color on the opposite side. and a central axial shaft projecting from the sides thereofi and enlarged heads on the shaft adapted, when inserted in the peg holes, to engage with the spring retaining means.
In testimony whereof, I hereunto aiiix my signature.
