We, DAVID KUNHARDT, of 3, Holzgraben, Aix-la-Chapelle, Germany,
Technician, and JOSEPH MOHLIG, of 33, Augustastrasse, Aix-la-Chapelle, Germany,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this. invention to be as follows:-
Our present invention relates to a new and useful game or toy in which balls,
all the surface of which is provided with bristles, are thrown towards a gaming-
board that is provided too with bristles. When the bristles of the balls engage
the bristles of the board, the balls cleave on the gaming-board.
We can make the board of any shape, a round disk or a quadrangular or poly-
gonal board; the plane of the bristle-board can be divided into several and multi-
coloured parts. The bristles, that can be animal ones, or vegetable, or metallic
ones, cards for instance, or mineral ones, have best an upwardly directed oblique
position. The bristles can cover all the surface of the board or partly only;
they can be arranged in stripes of different colours, in round part-disks, in
triangles and polygons, in regular or irregular figures, on plane-boards or curved
cbjects.
Instead of making use of balls to be thrown towards the disk or board, we
can throw objects of any shape the surface of which must however been provided
with bristles, as for instance dies, cylinders, rollers, plates, cones, rings and
the like.
New and Useful Sporting-game or Toy.
We, DAVID KUNHARDT, of 3, Holzgraben, Aix-la-Chapelle, Rhenish Prussia,
Germany, Technician, and JOSEPH MÖJLIG, late of 33, Augusta-strasse, now of
41, Zunkerstrasse, Aix-la-Chapelle, Rhenish Prussia, Germany, Engineer, 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:-
Our invention relates to a new and useful game or toy in which objects, all
the surfaces of which are provided with bristles, will be thrown towards a gaming-
board that is provided too with bristles. When the bristles of the thrown objects
engage the bristles of the board, the said objects cleave on the gaming-board.

page_text: The game or toy is represented in the annexed drawings, in which
Fig. 1 is the side-view of such bristle-game;
Fig. 2 is the front-view of the same; the disk provided with bristles is a
stationary one;
Fig. 3 is the side-view of a bristle-game, the gaming-board of which can be
turned into a position more or less oblique;
Fig. 4 is the front view of a gaming-board the shape of which is a quadrangular
one and which is secured to a wall;
Figs. 5 and 6 represent a cylinder and a small disk provided with bristles and
which are to be thrown towards the bristle-disk; and finally
Fig. 7 shows the front-view of a rotating star, the center and the ends of the
branches of which are provided with bristle-disks towards which the objects will
be thrown.
A gaming-board A, preferably made of a circular disk, Figs. 1 to 3, is provided
with bristles; the plane of the bristle-board can be divided into several and
multicoloured parts; as it is shown in Figs. 2 and 4. The bristles, that can be
animals ones, or vegetable or metallic ones, cards for instance, or mineral ones,
have best an upwardly directed oblique position. The bristles can cover all the
surface of the board or partly only; they can be arranged in stripes of different
colours, in round part-disks, in triangles and polygons, in regular or irregular
figures, on plane-boards or curved objects.
We prefer to make the objects to be thrown towards the bristle disk, balls all
the surface of which is provided with bristles. Instead of making use of balls,
we can throw objects of any shape, the surface of which must however been
provided with bristles, as for instance dies, cylinders, rollers, plates, cones, rings
and the like the surface of such objects can be entirely covered with bristles or
partly only.
The disk towards which the bristle-objects will be thrown, can be provided at
its circumference with perforations in which are arranged small electric lamps L
(Figs. 1 and 2).
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-

is provided with bristles, and balls all the surface of which is provided with bristles
too, essentially as set forth and for the purpose specified.
2. As an improved article of manufacture, a gaming-board the surface of which
is partly provided with bristles, and balls all the surface of which is provided
with bristles, substantially as described and for the purpose specified.
