  • Patent number: 10213681
    Abstract: A counting and scoring device has a housing with its interior divided into right and left chambers by a vertical partition. A wheel is vertically mounted and rotatable within each chamber of the housing using a threaded bolt and hexagonal nut. The wheels have a plurality of flat outer surfaces on which to display indicia in the form of the numerals 0 through 9 viewed through a three-sided window on each side of the top portion of the housing. Ball bearings activated by a compression spring within a tapered opening in the partition are in contact with depressions in the inside walls of the wheels below each flat surface so that as each wheel rotates a numeral is centered in a window. A hexagonal cavity within the hub portion enables the left wheel to act as a wrench to tighten the hexagonal nut when assembling the device.
