The dice and hit display device 10 is (as can be seen particularly clearly from FIG. 1) in FIG the center of the game board 14 is arranged so that some of its parts rest on the game board 14.

The hit display 10 consists of a transparent, essentially cup-shaped, from one Piece of molded housing 42 which delimits a sufficiently large interior space in which the cube 36 can be staggered. The housing 42, that is to say the main part of the hit display 10, rests on the top of the game board 14. The housing 42 is open at the bottom and has a surrounding, outwardly protruding bottom edge 44.

The transparent housing 42 is placed on the game board 14 in such a way that when it moves vertically back and forth relative to the base plate 12, this is guided by a circumferential, upwardly projecting collar 46; this collar 46 forms one piece with the cover plate 18. The collar 46 encloses an opening, the diameter of which is slightly larger than the diameter of the housing 42, so that the housing can slide up and down behind the collar 46; the upward movement of the housing 42 being limited by the base 44, the outer diameter of which is larger than the opening of the collar 46.

The collar 46 has an annularly downwardly directed shoulder 48 in the cover bar pinn IS * - is formed. This shoulder 48 sits on a flat pan 50 bent upwards at right angles and holds it in its position in the center of the game board 14 below the transparent housing 42. The pan 50 has a flat bottom 52 which rests in the center of the display plate 24, as well as a continuously upwardly projecting side wall 54, the upper edge of which fits into the shoulder 48.

A spring element 56 with the part causing the snap effect stands freely in this pan 50 and thus comes to rest in the middle of the game board 14 directly below the transparent housing 42. This spring element 56 is made or shaped, for example, from a flat, elastic strip material in such a way that a cross-section bent at right angles is produced; it is of one piece and has two opposing, downwardly and outwardly diverging legs or arms 58 and 60, which are the same size and shape, which support the substantially flat, horizontal and square arch 62 of the bridge. Each of the arms (legs) 58 and 60 has a small outwardly protruding horizontal foot 64 with which they stand on the bottom 52 of the pan 50.

The open end of the transparent housing 42, which is held by this bridge arch and directly spans it, is closed by the bridge arch 62 of the spring element 56. The housing 42 is centered perpendicularly with respect to the bridge arch 62 of the spring element 56 , and since the length of one side of the bridge arch 56 is smaller than the diameter of the lower opening of the housing 42, the bottom edge 44 of the housing 42 projects beyond the four corners of the bridge arch 62 , as shown in FIG. 10 can be seen.

An upwardly convex flat circular arch (flat dome) 66, the diameter of which is smaller than the width of the bridge arch 62, is arranged centrally on the bridge arch 62 and forms a piece with it. On opposite sides of this curvature 66 and at a distance therefrom there are two triangular flat indentations 63 diverging outwards, as they are in spring parts of this type which cause a snap effect

ίο or spring elements are often used. Bridge arch 62, arch 66 and indentations 63 together form the part of the spring element 56 which brings about the snap effect.
A cube 36 equipped in a known manner with six cube faces and with numbers lies loosely and freely on the bridge arch 62 when the spring element 56 is in its rest position, namely with a cube face on the wall of the housing 42 and on the bulge 66, as in fig. 2 and 3 can be clearly seen. The cube is thus held captive within the housing 42 and can be easily observed through the housing 42 from all sides.

Only a single cube is shown in each of the drawings. But it is. apparently that two or more cubes within the transparent housing 42 on the spring element 54 and the dome 66 can be arranged if so desired.

It can be seen from the drawings that the bridge arch 62 serves as a type of platform which supports both the transparent housing 42 and the cube (s) 36. This platform is held above the game board 14 by the legs (arms) 58, 60 on the spring element 56 , in that the bottom edge 44 of the housing 42 is supported against the collar 46 in the rest position (of the dice device).

In the rest position of the dice and hit display device 10, the spring element 56 is completely bent, that is, it rises together with the cube 36, which freely and unhindered on this up and to one side of the protruding arch 66 of the flat bridge arch 62 of the spring element 56 is up. The spring element 56 at the same time carries the transparent housing 42 and holds it perpendicularly away from the base plate 16, so that the bottom edge 44 of the housing 42 is supported against the collar 46 of the cover plate 18.

The rest position of the dice and hit display device 10 is shown in FIGS. 1,2 and 3 that Shaping of the spring element 56 in this rest position in FIGS. 5, 6 and 10 shown.

The device 10, which simultaneously serves as a dice and hit display, is activated by pressing it down the flat ceiling of the clear case 42 by the hand of a player who is about to continue of the game has to throw one or more dice, tokens or the like 36, operated. The collar 46 guides the housing 42 downwards and over the bottom edge 44 as it moves as a result of the housing 42, the downward acting on the housing 42 is exerted on the spring element 56 Transmit power.

This downward force is shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 indicated by an arrow ^ i; this force brings the spring element 56 out of its rest position (FIG. 6) into a position in which the legs (arms) 58 and 60 after sliding on the floor 52

When the spring element 56, which causes a sudden return movement, is pushed through, the legs 58 and io and is quickly spread outward in the direction C of the return movement 60, and the bridge base is pushed down the bridge arch 62 to its origins 62 by a certain amount Liehe initial position and initial shape is bent back again, the curvature 66 snaps on the regain, in which it protrudes in the middle of the bridge-bridge arch 62, which originally convex arch 62 upwards. This second snapping effect of the bulge 66 opposite to the direction B also causes a curvilinear curvature in order to, that is, these bulges, a sharp, loud noise or a bang,
Exercise 66 moves parallel to direction B and moves backward. When the spring element 56 moves back, its curvature is reversed to a downwardly passing cube 36 on it, and the arched curvature of the bridge arch 62 (see the second snap effect of the curvature 66 becomes the Fig. 8). If the bulge 66 is bent downwards 20 cubes 36 randomly and accidentally upwards and so it stands out of the bridge arch 66 after fen, but remains trapped inside the housing 42, protruding below, the indentations 63 bulge so that he can dance in it and starts jumping.
