Description

Dice apparatus for dice games The invention relates to a device for dice games where it is for commercial and / or technical reasons it is necessary that the dice or dice used are protected from unauthorized access are protected.

The most common methods of dicing - by hand or by means of an open Dice cups - offer no guarantee for unaffected dice. You are therefore for dice games, which are based on the possible numbers üzw. Number combinations Build from one or more dice, unsuitable.

The dice that are usually used are on the six faces each with a value of 1 to 6 (points). In exceptional cases they are also colored Marked dice or dice provided with symbols are known: game bodies are rare used with fewer or more than six faces.

The invention is based on the object of the complete permutation to secure one or more dice. This object is achieved according to the invention solved that one or more dice are in a transparent, locked, if necessary, sealed container (1) are protected from unauthorized access, and this container during the manual or mechanical dicing process with one opaque jacket (2) can be provided. The transparent part of the cube jar (1) is made of break-proof material, e.g. made of, for reasons of safety and strength the material known under the trade name "Plexiglas".

One embodiment of the invention for manual operation is shown in the drawing and is described in more detail below.

The transparent vessel (1) is cylindrical. The dimensions of the @ efäßes (1) depend on the size and number of dice used. There must be enough freedom of movement for the dice or dice for an intensive dice process be given (e.g. for three dice with an edge length of 20mm each, a Cube vessel (1) with an inner diameter of 200 mm and an inner height of 200 mm can be used).

The outer opaque coat (2) is. also made of unbreakable Material made. It is dimensioned so that it can be moved easily and without jarring to transfer to the cube vessel, can be removed.

In the drawing, the outer casing (2) is also shown as cylindrical and provided with two handles to make it easier to remove after the dicing process. The inner vessel (1) and the outer casing (21 ') have a protruding edge - for example, hexagonal in the drawing -. For the dicing process, after the inner vessel (1) has been covered with the outer jacket (2), both vessels are gripped by the edge with both hands and vigorously set in tilting movements: This procedure results in the structural dimensions of the cube apparatus being as high as possible and do not exceed a total width of 500 mm each j because the dice machine must be handy.

A simple crank mechanism is required for any mechanical drive and / or motorized drive is provided, the required tilting or rotating Movement generated for the dice process. The advantages achieved with the invention consist in particular that the used and particularly carefully prepared Game dice can be controlled by the appointed side, and the vessel (1) if necessary can be sealed.

The dice process is always carried out under the same conditions. The cubes are protected from contamination.

The number or number combination obtained after rolling the dice represents always on the given base of the cube vessel (1) and is fast Overlookable: In addition, the number or combination of numbers rolled can be reliably proven because direct access to the cubes is not possible.

Claims (1)

Claims: Dice apparatus for dice games characterized by that one or more dice in a transparent, locked, possibly Sealed container (1) are protected from unauthorized access, and this container during the manual or mechanical dicing process with an opaque Coat (2) can be covered. 2 0 throwing device according to claim 1, characterized in that that the transparent container (1) made of break-proof material, e.g. from the under the Trade name "Plexiglas" known material consists.
