Description

Accessoire de jeu. La pr6sente invention a pour objet un accessoire de jeu. Game accessory. The present invention relates to a game accessory.

Cet accessoire comporte au moins un espace clos contenant des #l6ments formant des unitbs y jouissant d'une liberM de mouve- ment telle quen agitant ledit accessoire, les- dites unitös puissent se m#Ianger entre elles, au moins une ouverture kant pr6vue, dans laquelle au moins un de ces 61#ments puisse apparaitre. This accessory comprises at least one enclosed space containing #elements forming units y enjoying freedom of movement such that by shaking said accessory, said units can mix with each other, at least one planned kant opening, in which at least one of these elements can appear.

On congoit ais6ment qu'un db ä, jouer puisse Atre remplae6 par un tel accessoire, en formant celui-ei par exemple d'une boite con- tenant six pastilles marquks de points ä rai- son de un ä six, ei communiquant avee un eanal ou une poche, dans Iaquelle, apr#s m & lange, une seule pastille peut. s'introduire ei apparaitre, le nombre de points, ou 6ventuel- lement le chiffre qu'elle porte en inseription 6quivalant au r6sultat quo Fon aurait pris en consibration en jetant un d6. It is easy to imagine that a db ä, to play can be replaced by such an accessory, by forming the latter, for example, from a box containing six dots marked with dots ä reason of a ä six, and communicating with a canal or a pocket, in which, after mixing, a single pellet can. to enter and to appear, the number of points, or possibly the number which it bears in insertion equivalent to the result which one would have taken into consideration by throwing a d6.

Mais contrairement b, ce qui est le eas pour ce dernier, los pastilles ne peuvent pas so perdre ei aucune table ou autre surface n'est n6cessaire, Faccessoire en question pou- vant se tenir A la main aussi bien pour m61an- ger les pastillüs quo pour en faire tomber une dans le eanal ou la poche, quo pour en faire la lecture. But unlike b, which is the case for the latter, the pellets cannot be lost and no table or other surface is necessary, the accessory in question being able to stand A the hand as well to mix the pastillües as to drop one in the canal or the pocket, as to read it.

Le dessin annex6 montre quelques formes d'exkution d'aecessoires de jeu s#elon Finven- tion, donn6es ä titre d'exemples: La fig. 1 est une vue en perspective d'une premiAre forme d'exöcution, une partie de son couveele kant arrachk. La fig. 2 montre trois variantes de dRail applicables ä la forme d'exkution prkit6e. The appended drawing shows some embodiments of game accessories according to the invention, given ä as examples: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an early form of execution, with part of its kant lid torn away. fig. 2 shows three dRail variants that can be applied ä to the prkit6e version.

La fig. 3 est un-e vue, couverele enlevb, d'une seconde forme d',exöcut-,ion. fig. 3 is a view, with the cover removed, of a second form of execution.

La fig. 4 est une vue d'une troisi#me forme d'exkution, avee couverele partielle- ment arrach6. fig. 4 is a view of a third form of execution, with the lid partially torn off.

L'aecessoir,e de jeu selon la premiAre forme d'exkution de la fig. 1 so compose d'une boite plate en troisi parties: fond 1, eadre '.) ei couverele 3. Entre ces trois parties subsiste une chambre 4, dont la hauteur, par tout Agale, correspond ä l'6paisseur du eadre 2. Cette chambre, large au voisinage de Fune des extr#mitös de la boite, se r6trkit ensuit#e en forme d'entonnoir, pour aboutir ä un eanal kroit 5. A Fendroit de ce eanal, le couverele 3 pHsente une fenAtre allong6e 6. Sa largeur Mant plusRTI ID="0001.0272" WI="10" HE="4" LX="1248" LY="1575"> kroite que celle dudit eana.1, cette fenkre fait 16görement saillie de part ei d'autre au-dessus de ce dernier. Elle so ter- mine par deux arrondis en demi-cerele, dü diamkre 6gal ä sa largeur, done #galement inf6rieur ä 19, largeur du eanal. The acessoir, e game according to the first form of execution of fig. 1 is composed of a flat box in three parts: bottom 1, eadre '.) and cover 3. Between these three parts remains a chamber 4, the height of which, throughout Agale, corresponds ä to the thickness of frame 2. This chamber, wide in the vicinity of one of the ends of the box, then retracts in the shape of a funnel, ending ä in a straight channel 5. At the location of this channel, the lid 3 has an elongated window 6. Its width is greaterRTI ID="0001.0272" WI="10" HE=" 4" LX="1248" LY="1575"> straighter than that of said eana.1, this window protrudes 16görement on either side above the latter. It is terminated by two roundings in a half-circle, of a diameter equal to its width, therefore also less to 19, width of the channel.

Dans la chambre 4 sont enfermks un cer- tain nombre de pastilles telles que 7, dont la hauteur est ä pein-e inf6rieure ä celle de ladite chambre ei le diamMre tel qu'elles puis- sent p6n6frer faeilement dans le eanal 5. Ces pastilles ont, de ce fait, pleine libert6 de mouveinjent dans la chambre ei le eanal, sans toutefois pouvoir se retourner sur elles,-mAmes. Si, dans le eanal 5, elles ne peuvent se placer qu'en ligne, l'une ä la file de Fautre, il leur est par contre possible de se m61anger entre elles ä, volont6 dans la. chambre 4. Elles por- tent, comme le montre le dessin, des signes distinetifs, repr#sentant un triangle, un earrä, un anneau, un point, etc. Elles pourraient aussi se distinguer les unes des autres par des couleurs, des chiffres ou la combinaison de couleurs, de chiffres ou de dessins. In the chamber 4 are enclosed a certain number of pellets such as 7, whose height is ä slightly lower ä than that of said chamber has the diameter such that they can penetrate easily into the channel 5. These pellets therefore have full freedom of movement in the chamber and the channel, without however being able to turn around on them, -mAmes. If, in channel 5, they can only place themselves in line, one ä the other's line, it is on the other hand possible for them to mix between they ä, will6 in the. room 4. They bear, as shown in the drawing, distinctive signs, representing a triangle, an earrä, a ring, a point, etc. They could also be distinguished from each other by colors, numbers or the combination of colors, numbers or designs.

Il est clair qu'en inelinant la boite 16g#- rement, de mani & e ä ce que toutes les pastilles tom-bent dans la chambre 4, #et qu'en Fagitant les pastilles se m61angeront entre elles et qu'en inelinant ou redressant ensuite la boite de mani#r-e ä amener Paxe du canal 5 dans une direction proche de la vertieale, on pro- voquera la chute des ou d'une paxtie au moins des pastilles dans le eanal 5 oü leurs signes distinetifs apparaitront ä la fenAtre 6 dans un ordre donn6 pa.r le hasard. It is clear that by removing the box slightly, so that all the pellets fall into chamber 4, #and that by shaking the pellets will mix between them and that by straightening or straightening the box de so as to bring the axis of the channel 5 in a direction close to the vertical, one will provoke the fall of the or at least a part of the pellets in the channel 5 where their distinctive signs will appear ä the window 6 in an order given by chance.

Toutes sortes de combinaisons sont bien entendu possibles: soit par exemple d'avoir une fenefre suffisamment grande pour qu'ä chaque op6ration toutes les pastilles y appa- raissent, soie de n'en laisser apparaitre qu'un certain nombre, ou encore une seule. All sorts of combinations are of course possible: either for example to have a window large enough so that at each operation all the pellets appear there, or to let only a certain number appear, or even a single one. .

Au lieu d'une fenAtre allongk, on pour- rait aussi disposer en file plusieurs fengtres rondes, comme le montre la variante de la fig. 2, qui remplace la fenftre allongk de la fig. 1 par trois ouvertures rondes 8, 9 et10. Instead of an elongated window, one could also arrange several round windows in a row, as shown in the variant of FIG. 2, which replaces the elongated window of FIG. 1 with three round openings 8, 9 and 10.

Cette figure montre d'autres variantes encore: Par exemple, la, possibilit6 de placer Fune des fenAtres sur un eurseur 11, ce qui permet, en tirant ledit curseur de effl, de masquer le trou 10 et de ne "joner qu'ä deux trous" au lieu de "jouer ä trois trous". This figure shows still other variants: For example, the possibility of placing one of the windows on a cursor 11, which allows, by dragging the said cursor of effl, to hide the hole 10 and to "only play two holes" instead of "playing ä three holes".

Au lieu de placer le trou sur le curseur, celui-ei pourraii, bien entendu, constituer au contraire un petit couverele suseeptible d'ötre gliss6 sur le trou. Instead of placing the hole on the slider, the latter could, of course, constitute on the contrary a small lid capable of being slid over the hole.

On pourrait aussi pr6voir un plus grand nombre de curseurs, permettant de masquer autant de trous et selon telle combinaison que Fon voudrait. One could also provide a greater number of cursors, allowing masking as many holes and according to such combination as desired.

Une autre variante, est constitu#.e par le curseur ini6rieur 12, dans Iequel est noyk une lame 61astique 13 pouvant, soit lorsque le curseur est tir6 hors de la boite dans la position dessink, soit au contraire lorsqu'il est enione6 dans cette derniAre, faire saillie dans le canal recevant la file de pastilles. Another variant is constituted by the inner slider 12, in which is embedded a 61astic blade 13 which can, either when the slider is pulled out of the box in the drawn position, or on the contrary when it is enione6 in the latter, protrude into the channel receiving the line of pellets.

Le but de cette disposition est de per- mettre de coineer et retenir une pastille dans lü eanal et conserver ainsi un r6sultat partiel ou total, selon Vendroit oü le curseur est dispos6. The purpose of this arrangement is to make it possible to wedge and retain a pellet in the channel and thus retain a partial or total result, depending on where the cursor is placed.

Dans l'exemple dessin6, il serait possible, sur trois facteurs des combinaisons obtenues, d'en retenir deux (le eurseur bloque la seconde pastille), et de jouer ensuite ä volont# et plu- sieurs fois de suite le troisi#me faeteur. In the drawing example6, it would be possible, out of three factors of the combinations obtained, to retain two of them (the cursor blocks the second pellet), and then to play ä at will# and several times immediately the third factor.

Comme dans le eas du eurseur supörieur 11, il est bien entendu possible de pr6voir plusieurs curseurs infhieurs ou de blocage, tels que 12, autorisant ainsi un grand nombre de combinaisons dans l'application de Facces- soire ä des jeux divers. As in the case of the upper cursor 11, it is of course possible to provide several lower or blocking cursors, such as 12, thus authorizing a large number of combinations in the application of the Accessory ä various games.

Pour faciliter ou augmenter le mkange des pastilles entre elles, on peut, comme le montre la forme d'exkution selon la fig. 3, disposer une chicane 14 dans la eliambre 15 oü les pastilles se m61angent. Cette chicane pourrait avoir une autre forme que eelle repr6sentk, il pourrait aussi y en avoir plu- sieurs. To facilitate or increase the mixing of the pellets together, it is possible, as shown by the form of execution according to FIG. 3, place a baffle 14 in the chamber 15 where the pellets mix. This baffle could have another shape than it represents, it could also there have several.

Cette forme d'exkution diMre aussi de la premiAre par le profil de la boite qui est ici rectangulaire, tandis que la bdite selon la premiAre forme d'exkution kait plus 6troite ä Vendroit du eanal quW Fendroit de la chambre. This form of execution also differs from the first by the profile of the box which is rectangular here, while the bdite according to the first form of execution is narrower ä the place of the channel than the place of the bedroom.

Dans la troisi#me forme, d'exkution selon la fig. 4, le canal des formes d'exkution pr#- c#dentes Best remplar,6 par des chicanes 16, 17, 18 et d'autres invisibles, placAes derri6re les trous 19 et 20 du couverele 21 partiellement arrach#. In the third form, of execution according to FIG. 4, the channel of the previous execution forms Best replaced by baffles 16, 17, 18 and other invisible ones, placed behind the holes 19 and 20 of cover 21 partially torn off.

Ces chicanes sont en V et retiennent der- ri6re les fengtres les pastilles se m6langeant dans la chambre 22. These baffles are V-shaped and retain behind the windows the pellets mixing in chamber 22.

Une seule boite pourrait avoir plusieurs chambres et plusieurs s6ries de fenAtres, ap- partenant chaeune ä une chambre, ou au moins une fenAtre par chambre. On obtien- drait ainsi d'un coup plusieurs rösultats, comme si Pon avait plusieurs accessoires ä disposition. A single box could have multiple rooms and multiple sets of windows, each belonging ä to a room, or at least one window per room. We would thus obtain several results at once, as if we had several ä accessories available.

Au lieu de pr6voir des ouvertures pour la lee,ture, on pourrait aussi pr6voir des boites entiArement closes et transparentesä Vendroit oü les Hsultats doivent Atre apparents. Cela pr6sente l'avantage d',empAc'her la poussiAre ou d'autres corps krangers: de phkrer dans la boite et, de s'opposer ä la libert6 de mouve- inent parfaite, n6cessaire, des pasfilles. Instead of providing openings for reading, one could also provide fully closed and transparent boxesä where the results are to be apparent. This has the advantage of preventing dust or other foreign bodies: to remain in the box and, to oppose ä the perfect freedom of movement, necessary, of the notgirls.

La boite ainsi close peut mAme Atre ren- due kanche, vid6e d'air ou remplie d'un gaz inerte. Elle pourrait; mAme contenir un liquide tel que de la glye6rine, qui aurait alors au eontraire pour eifet de reiner le mouvement des pastilles et de erkr ainsi d'autres condi- tions de, m61ange de ces derni#res. The box thus closed can even be rendered sealed, emptied of air or filled with an inert gas. She could; even contain a liquid such as glycerine, which would then have the effect of restraining the movement of the pellets and thus creating other conditions of, mixing them.

Dans le eas d'un remplissage liquide, les pastilles pourraient Atre lest6es, de mani#re ä ec que dans leur ellute ralentie dans l#e eanal de lecture, et par suite de Feffet; lubrifiant du liquide, elles occupent toujours la mAme position, partie plus lourde en bas, permet- fant par exemple la lecture ä Vendroit de o'hiffres les distingnant les unes d.#s autres. In the case of a liquid filling, the pellets could be weighted, in such a way ä that in their slowed motion in the reading channel, and as a result of the effect; lubricating the liquid, they always occupy the same position, the heavier part at the bottom, allowing for example the reading ä of the place where the figures distinguish them from each other.

Pour combiner plusieurs possibilit6s de jeu dans une seule bolte, on peut pr6voir des fenAtres des deux eWs, les pastilles portant alors des marques sur les deux faces, par exemple des points de, d6s sur une face et les valeurs et fimires du pocker sur Fautre in face. Un mAme aceesgciire peut eneore servir h jouer un grand nombre de jeux eny pr#- voyant une ouverture normalement fermk, permettanf, d'en extraire les pastilles pour les remplac,er par d'aulres, pouvant diff6rer pur leur nombre ou par leurs inseriptions ou cou- leurs ou encore par tous ces facteurs h la fois. To combine several possibilities of play in a single box, it is possible to provide windows for the two games, the pads then bearing marks on both sides, for example points of, dice on one side and the values and fimires of poker on the other. in face. A same aceesgciire can still be used to play a large number of games byy providing a normally closed opening, allowing the pellets to be extracted from it to replace them with others, which may differ in their number or in their inscriptions or colors or in all these factors at the same time.

Un accessoire en d-eux piAoes, c'esi-ä-dire (Iont la chambre de m61ange et le eanal avec la fenkre, de leefure pourraient kre s6parbs a volont6 Fun de Fautre, fournirait de plus crrandes possibilit4 encore. Il serait alors en effet possible de pr6voir une chambre, plu- sieurs groupes de pastilles pour divers jeux et plusieurs eanaux avee, fenAtres de leeture, de grandeur, voire mAme de forme diffärente et suseeptible de s'adapter ä la chambre par un emboitage ä rainure ou tout autre moyen. Les ea'naux peuvent, dans cefte forme d'exä- eution, servir de magasin pour les diverses s6ries de pastilles. An accessory in two pieces, that is to say (the mixing chamber and the channel with the window, of course, could be separated at will from each other, would provide still greater possibilities. It would then be in possible effect of providing a room, several groups of pellets for various games and several channels with windows of different sizes, even of different shapes and able to adapt ä the room by a grooved casing or any other means.The channels can, in this embodiment, serve as a store for the various series of pellets.

Comme il est possible d'imaginer des jeux utilisant la lecture de deux ou plusieurs s6ries de signes dispos4 au hasard eöte ä ebte, rien ne s'oppose ä donner au canal etä la fengtre de 1.evture une largeur 6gale ä un multiple du diamUrü des pastilles, en sorte qu'6tant donn6 la iao-ult6 que leur forme eireulaire leur donne de se placer d'elles-mAmes en plu- sieurs files paralWes, elles rempliront sans autre le eanal de la mani6re d#sir6e. As it is possible to imagine games using the reading of two or more series of signs arranged at random eöte ä ebte, there is nothing to prevent ä giving the channel and ä the window of 1.evtures a width equal ä to a multiple of the diameter of the pellets, so that given the iao-ult6 that their circular shape allows them to place themselves in several parallel rows, they will fill the channel without further ado in the desired manner.

Cette facult6 permet aussi de pr6voir une lecture selon une file disposk horizontale- ment, au Üleu de vertiealement. This feature also allows you to plan a reading according to a line arranged horizontally, instead of vertically.

Il est 6vident que le eanal de leeture pourraft Mre reliö par ses deux extr#mit6s, ä la chambre de mblange, les pastilles ne fai- sant alors qu'y passer. It is obvious that the reading channel could be connected by its two ends, ä to the mixing chamber, the pellets then only passing through it.

On pourrait aussi pr#voir une chambre cirenlaire, contre la paroi. de Iaquelle glisse- rait un obt-urateur annulaire prbsentant une ouverture radiale suseeptible de communiquer successivement avee plusieurs eanaux et fengtres. Cet obturafeur, accessible de l'ext6- rieur, par exemple par un bouton, pourrait Atre tourn6 de fagon ä introduire quelques pastilles dans un premier eana,1, puis ä les y rendre prisonniAres et ainsi de suite pour chaque eanal Fun apAs Pautre. One could also provide a wax chamber, against the wall. from which would slide an annular obt-urator having a radial opening capable of communicating successively with several channels and windows. This shutter, accessible from the outside, for example by a button, could be turned in a way ä to introduce a few pellets in a first eana,1, then ä the y to take prisoner and so on for each channel fun and the other.

Lorsque Faccessoire est relativement long et kroit et que les pastilles sont au surplus grandes et nombreus#es par rapport ä aeite laro-eur limit6e, des contrbles ont dke16, en Fabsence d'une chicane, un tAs Mger kart alternatif et momentan6, sans influence sur la mayenne entre la probabilit6 thkrique et l'apparition des signes de la premi6re et dans les eas,extrgmes des deux premikes pastilles. On remädiera radiealement ä cette tendance etde ce faft, h, toute influence d'utilisation rapide, mAme volontaire, en pr6voyant un eanal plus long que la fenAtre et masquant la premiAre ou ä la rigueur les premiAreF3 pas- fill,es de la file, ssn sorte qu'on en fait abstrae- tion ä chaque lecture. Gela reviendrait done, ,si Pon se reporte ä la fig. 1., ä prühlonger le- canal 5 en avant de la fenAtre 6 de la valeur d'une ou deux pastilles. When the accessory is relatively long and straight and the pellets are large and numerous in relation to the ä aeite the limited diameter, checks have had to be made, in the absence of a baffle, a tas Mger alternate and momentary kart, without influence on the average between the theoretical probability and the appearance of the signs of the first and in the extreme cases of the first two pellets. This tendency andh this tendency, h, any influence of rapid use, even voluntary, will be radically remedied by providing for a longer channel than the window and masking the first or ä rigorously the first steps in the queue, so that it is ignored ä each time it is read. Gela would therefore return, if Pon refers ä to fig. 1., ä lengthen the channel 5 in front of the window 6 by the value of one or two pellets.

Jusqu'iei ü a toujours k6 question de pasElles, c'est-ä-dire d'616ments en forme de disques. D'autres formes sont naturellement u-Klisables, ä la eandition de pouvoir se mou- voir sans risque d e coincement entre les parois de la boite 1.es contenant. Des billes se pAtent -fort bien ä cela, mais ne peuvent pratique- ment se diffgreneier les unes des autres que par leur couleur ou des. dessins, moins f-acüe- ment par des inseriptions devant occuper une position de lecture favorable. Up to now ü has always been a question of steps, that is to say of elements in the form of discs. Other shapes are naturally usable, ä the condition of being able to move without the risk d of getting stuck between the walls of the box 1.es containing. Marbles do very well ä this, but can hardly differ from each other except by their color or by their colors. drawings, less f-acü- ously by inseriptions to occupy a favorable reading position.

De petits eubes ä argtes arrondies peuvent aussi Mre utilis6s; ils s'introduiront peut-Atre un peu moins facilement dans le eanal de lee- ture, s'opposant en particulier ä l'emploi d'un canal pouvant en recevoir plus d'une file c6te A c8te. Le eanal, de section carrk correspon- dante, pourrait par contre constituer une sorte dappendice prismatique quadrangulaire transparent sur ses quatre faces, ce qui per- mettrait quatr e lertures simultan6es. Small rounded, silvery ä can also be used; they will perhaps introduce themselves a little less easily into the channel of leeture, opposing in particular ä the use of a channel which can receive more than one file side A side. The channel, of corresponding square section, could on the other hand constitute a kind of quadrangular prismatic appendage transparent on its four sides, which would allow four simultaneous openings.

Le m61ange des pas-Ulles ou autres 616- ments contenus dan#s la beite pourrait sef aire entiArement ou Atre facilit6 par un agent auxiliaire, tel qu'un courant d'air obtenu en seufflant dans la bdite, par exemple par une emboueliure pr6vue ä cet eifet. The mixing of the pellets or other elements contained in the beite could occur entirely or be facilitated by an auxiliary agent, such as a current of air obtained by blowing in the bdite, for example by a mouth provided ä for this purpose.

Les pastilles ou 6kments queleonques contenus dans la boite peuvent Ure enduits d'une mati6re fluoreseente, permettant d'uti- liser Faccessoire selon Pinvention ä jouer de nuit. Any pellets or elements contained in the box may be coated with a fluorescing material, allowing the accessory according to the invention to be used for night play.

Pour les jeux qui se jouent avee un seul d6, on peut pr6veir une bdite avee six pas- tilles marqu6es de un ä six par des poinis ei des chiffres ei une seule ouverture, de la grandeur dune pastille, pour la lecture du r6sultat. For games that are played with a single d6, one can provide a board with six pads marked from one to six by dots and numbers at a single opening , the size of a pellet, for reading the result.

Pour les jeux näcessitant normalement deux d6s on peut accoler Pune ä Fautre deux boi-Wes semblables ä la pr6c6dente ou eneore en pr6voir une eeule avee douze pastilles mar- quges deux feis de un ä six ei deux fenUres pour leur apparitiGn au nombre d'üne seule par fenAtre. For games that normally require two dice, you can place one ä side by side with two boxes similar ä to the previous one or even provide a single one with twelve pellets marked twice with one ä six and two windows for their appearance to the number of only one per window.

De mAme, pour les jeux se jouant ä trois Us, ce seront, suivant <RTI ID="0004.0279" WI="3" HE="4" LX="1478" LY="397"> le eas, trois boites ou encore dix-huit pastilles dans une boite ä trois fenAtres, ei ainsi de suite. Similarly, for games playing ä three Us, it will be, according to <RTI ID="0004.0279" WI="3" HE="4" LX="1478" LY="397" > the eas, three boxes or even eighteen pellets in a box ä three windows, and so on.

On sait que dans certains jeux eliaque joueur peut jeter par exemple trois d6s jus- qu'ä trois fois mais conserver dans chaque eas un ou deux r#sultats dAjä acquis. We know that in certain games, each player can throw three dice, for example, up to three times, but retain in each case one or two results already acquired.

En faisant usage d'un accessoire compre- nant trois boites avec chaeune six pastilles ei une fenAtre munie d'un curseur permeitant de bloquer les pastilles, le joueur pourra faire sortir une premi#re, fois les, trois r6sultats, puis en bloquer un ou deux ei r6päer l'op6- ration pour le ou les deux autres r6sultats. By using an accessory comprising three boxes with each six pellets and a window fitted with a slider allowing the pellets to be blocked, the player can bring out a first, times the three results, then block one. or two and repeat the operation for the other result(s).

En adjoignant A Facces-soire un tapis di- vis6 ei marqu# de chiffres ou encore, de ceu- leurs, on pourra, avee des pastilles portant des signes ad6quats, jouer A la boule ou ä la roulette. By adding A Accessory a divided mat and marked with numbers or even numbers, it will be possible, with discs bearing the appropriate signs, to play A ball or ä roulette.

Une autre application inthessante consiste en l'6tablissement par le hasard de pronosties coneernant des r6sultats ä pr#voir d'avance, de jeux ou de courses par exemple. Another interesting application consists in the establishment by chance of prognoses concerning results ä to predict in advance, of games or races for example.

11 est ainsi un jeu fort connu actuelle- ment, qui consiste, ä pronostiquer du r6sultat d'un certain nombre de matehes de, football. On peut y jouer aussi bien dans le eas de v6ritables mateUes jou6s sur le terrain que. dans le eas de jeux de football de, salon ou d'autres jeux semblables. 11 is thus a very well known game today, which consists, ä of predicting the result of a certain number of football mates. You can y play as well in the case of real mateUes played on the field as. in the eas of football games, parlor or other similar games.

Pour le football, par exemple, Faccessoire pourrait confenir des pasfilks de deux types difförents, repr6sentant chacun Fune des deux 6quipes ei des pastilles d'un troisi#me, type, pour marquer les matehes nuls. La fenAtre comportera la place pour douze r6sultats, le canal pouvant kre prolong# de faQon ä mas- quer un ou deux rösultats du bas de la co- lonne, celle-ei kant tenue verticalement; dans cette s#upposition, les matehes kant au nombre de douze, la boite contiendra au moins douze pastilles. For football, for example, the accessory could contain patches of two different types, each representing one of the two teams, and patches of a third type, to mark draws. The window will have room for twelve results, the channel being able to be extended so as ä to hide one or two results from the bottom of the column, the latter being held vertically; in this s#upposition, the matehes kant to the number of twelve, the box will contain at least twelve pastilles.

II a 6t6 d6termin6 en outre que Vaccessoire se pr6te, au mieux ä ce genre de jeu si Fon affecte de32 à 67% des pastilles au signe1, 16 à 5 270 au signe2 et16 à 40 01o' à la, croix (équipe recevante1, équipe visitante 2 et signe en forme de croix == match nul). It has also been determined that the accessory lends itself, at best ä to this kind of game if Fon assigns from32 to 67% of the pads to the sign 1, 16 to 5 270 at sign 2 and 16 to 40 01o' at the, cross (home team1, visiting team 2 and sign in the shape of a cross == draw).

La colonne des résultats peut encore être prolongée de un, deux, trois résultats supplé mentaires, servantà départager les joueurs ex #quo. The results column can be further extended by one, two, three additional results, servingto decide between tied players.

En prévoyant par exemple huit canaux de douze ouvertures chacun avec, au moins quatre-vingt-seize pastilles, on obtiendra simultanément huit colonnes de résultats. By providing, for example, eight channels of twelve apertures each with at least ninety-six pads, eight columns of results will be obtained simultaneously.

Les joueurs peuvent désirer n'inscrire qu'une partie des résultats donnés par l'ac cessoire en faisant intervenirla connaissance pour les autres. Players may wish to register only a part of the results given by the accessory by involving the knowledge for the others.

Un ou plusieurs résultats paraissant très évidents seront dans ce cas inscrits d'avance, les autres l'étant après coup, selon les indica tionsde l'accessoire. One or more results appearing very obvious will in this case be entered in advance, the others being entered afterwards, according to the indicationsof the accessory.

- Une autre manière d'obtenir de telles co lonnes mixtes consisteà établir en connais- sanco de cause une colonne type complète ou incomplète indifféremment qui ne sera uti lisée que comme colonne de comparaison. - Another way to obtain such mixed columns consistsof knowingly establishing a standard column, either complete or incomplete, which will only be used as a of comparison.

Ensuite, chaque colonne obtenue unique- nient avec l'accessoirey sera comparée et les joueurs ne retiendront que celles dont une proportion voulue. des résultats colincideront avec ceux de la colonne de comparaison. Then, each column obtained uniquely with the accessory y will be compared and the players will retain only those with a desired proportion. results will coincide with those in the comparison column.

On peut alors prévoir un canal auxiliaire, indépendant des accessoires avec lesquels il a été joué et dans lequel on enfileà la suite les unes des auires, des, pastilles correspon dantà tout ou partie des résultats prévus. La comparaison peut alors se faire rapide ment, par juxtaposition ou par transparence, des couleurs pouvant encore la faciliter. Ce canal supplémentaire peut aussi faire partie de l'accessoire,y étant disposé parallèlement ou superposé au canal proprement dit de ce, dernier et muni d'une ouverture pour l'intro duction de pastilles, qui pourront être ajou rées ou encore transparentes. It is then possible to provide an auxiliary channel, independent of the accessories with which it has been played and in which one threads a one after the other, the corresponding padsto all or part of the expected results. The comparison can then be made quickly, by juxtaposition or by transparency, colors being able to facilitate it. This additional channel can also be part of the accessory,y being arranged parallel to or superimposed on the channel proper of the latter and provided with an opening for the introduction of pellets, which may be added or even transparent.

Pour jouer au loto, on utilisera une boîte contenant quatre-vingt-dix pastilles et un canal d'autant d'ouvertures ou une fenêtre (le longueur équivalente. L'accessoire selon l'invention constitue au surplus un instrument intéressant pour l'étude des probabilités et des permutations. To play the lotto, one will use a box containing ninety pellets and a channel of as many openings or a window (the equivalent length. The accessory according to the invention constitutes moreover an interesting instrument for the study probabilities and permutations.

Dans ce dernier cas, il contiendra autant de pastilles qu'il peut en apparaître dansla fenêtre. In the latter case, it will contain as many pads as can appear in the window.
