Description
Technical field
The present invention relates generally to the Board Game field, and more particularly, relate to the device board box for example of adorning board, said board box many playing card of during snipsnapsnorum, packing into, and can from the board box, once extract one card.
Background technology
Conventional board box is processed into certain size usually, so that hold 2-8 secondary standard playing card, every secondary standard playing card all have 52 sheet playing cards.These board boxes use during professional Card Games (such as 21 recreation of public place of entertainment (casino blackjack), poker (a kind of snipsnapsnorum), Dezhou playing card (Texas Hold ' em etc.)), so that make the endhand can during the fast pace Card Games, be easy to extract playing cards.
United States Patent (USP) 6402142 shows a kind of board box structure, and said board box structure comprises that shell, said shell have the opening that forms in the place, front of shell, and playing card can extract from said opening.Shell can comprise the playing card bearing-surface, said bearing-surface with a downward angle from the back of shell face tilt forward, above-mentioned bearing-surface can support some secondary standard playing card.The board box can comprise the playing card wedge, and wedge has sloped surface, and said sloped surface contacts each playing card relative to each other and setovers in shell.
