Improvements in Game Sticks.
I FREDERICK MAULKIN JONAS of Chrishall Grange, Royston Cambridgeshire
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This Invention has for its object to render game sticks of increased utility and
convenience.
To effect this I make the game stick with three rods or bars fastened together in
the centre with a tie plate. The central rod is made considerably longer than the
two side rods so that when turned up and bent back it forms an upper and a lower bar.
The latter forms the middle rod of the game stick while the upper one is curved into
a bow at each end and in the centre is shaped into a convenient handle. The two
side rods have their ends turned upwards and bent back so as to form two loops
which pass over the two bows on the upper bar and so form two nooses through
which the heads of the birds are inserted when putting them on the game stick.
My invention may also be adapted to a game stick for carrying a single row of
birds. To do this I make the game stick with two bows or rods fastened in the centre
with a tie plate and having their ends turned-up-and bent back so as to form two
loops through which the heads of the birds are inserted while a single rod connects
the two loops and forms a convenient handle.
By this improved construction of game stick I dispense with the catches and other
fastenings with which game sticks have hitherto been fitted while the double rail
affords the advantage of carrying a much larger number of birds on the stick than
when the latter is made with a single rail only.

Improvements in Game Sticks.
I, FREDERICK MAULKIN JONAS of Chrishall Grange, Royston, Cambridgeshire,
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This Invention has for its object to render game sticks of increased utility and
convenience, by increasing their carrying capacity and simplifying their construction.
This I effect by making a game stick with either a double or single rail, and
dispensing with the catches and other fastenings with which game sticks have.
hitherto been fitted.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 shews one of my improved double rail
game sticks, which consists of three rods a, b, c, fastened together by a tie plate d.
The centre rod is made considerably longer than the two side rods, to allow of its
being turned up and bent over to form an upper bar e; which is curved into a
bow fat each end, and in the centre is shaped into a convenient bandle g, that is
covered with leather or any other suitable substance or material. The two side rods
also have their ends turned upwards and bent back, so as to form two loops / which
pass over the two bows f, and thus form two nooses, through which the heads of the
birds are passed when putting them on the game sticks. One advantage of such
double rail game stick is that a larger number of birds can be carried thereon.
further advantage is the facility with which the birds can be passed on to either rail
and there securely held.
A

page_text: Fig. 2 of the accompanying drawings shews a modification of my invention,
wherein it is adapted to a single rail game stick which consists of two rods a, b,
fastened together by a tie plate c, and having their ends turned up and bent back,
so as to form two loops d, through which the heads of the birds are slipped as they
are passed on to the rail. A tie rod e forms a connecting link between such loops,
and is shaped into a convenient handle which is covered with leather or any
other suitable equivalent..
It is obvious that by my improved construction of game stick, whether in the
double rail or single rail form, I obtain the essential advantages of simplicity, utility,
and convenience.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
1° The improved construction of double rail game stick substantially as herein before
described and shewn.
2° The improved construction of single rail game stick substantially as hereinbefore
described and shewn.
