SOLOMON L. FLEISHMAN, OF PITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.

IMPROVEMENT IN CHESS AND CHECKER BOARDS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 132,905, dated November 12, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SOLOMON L. FLEIsH- MAN, of Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Chess and Checker Boards and Pieces, of which the following is a specification:

My invention consists in having a peg or button projecting up through the squares of the board, and in having the bottoms of the pieces or figures hollowed out, so as to lit-over the pegs or buttons. When the pieces are thus placed over the pegs no sudden motion or jolt can disarrange or displace the pieces, making this a convenient board and figures for use in traveling.

L is a small rod by which the board is kept straightened. M is the board. N are pegs or buttons projecting up through the squares. O are rin gs by which the pegs N are attached to the board. By ineansof these rings the pegs or buttons can be attached or detached, as required. P are the pieces or figures. Q are holes hollowed in the bottoms of the pieces.

I claim as my invention The use, in this manner and for this purpose, of the pegs or buttons N, the rings 0, the cavities Q hollowed in the bottom of pieces; also the rod L as used here.

SOLOMON L. FLEISHMAN.
