Play device: "ball cube"

The invention relates to a gaming device with which one can "roll" a number of features, in particular numbers, in a simple manner. With the known dice of all kinds, it is basically only possible to roll a single number (or some other characteristic) with each dice. Since a cube generally has six sides, you can only "roll out" six different characteristics with each cube. When using several dice it is possible to roll a multiple of these features with one "throw", in which the several dice are thrown. However, it is very cumbersome to do this, especially if the desired number of possible features (numbers) is large.

In the usual lotto, for example, there are 49 numbers under which the player can choose. With six-sided dice, this would be © ia at all "Rolling the dice" of the numbers to be used is not possible and extra-eloquent with such a variety of characteristics, of course, a large number of dice, which are thrown at the same time, is necessary «

That it is awkward to throw several dice lies in the Hand: the dice roll away, etc.

The device according to the invention now solves this task, a (larger) Number of features to be "diced" in such a way that under a larger number of features, an (arbitrarily large) number is rolled out in a novel way.

The device according to the invention basically consists of a box of any shape, often of rectangular shape, which. BiMiea,. ^ O has many depressions, how are features present _? UBitsE denotes a number to be rolled out. There are as many balls in the box as there are features to be rolled at the same time. This

Kugelm fit into the recesses on the bottom of the device. So when the device is at rest, you lie down in one of these depressions. If you shake this device, it will roll the balls over the "grained" floor until they stop after the Schütteins, just put yourself in one of these indentations.

There is a lid above the above-mentioned device base, the is transparent at least above the depressions in the floor. His distance from the bottom of the device is dimensioned so that the balls can just roll undisturbed.

In this cover, the designation is now above each recess of the feature to which this depression applies. In the case of numbers, there is also a recess in the bottom of the device ina cover vertically above the corresponding number.

The device is now used in such a way that the player shakes it and then holds it quietly again. When shaken, the in the box-shaped device lying balls over the device base and then each remain in one of the depressions on the floor.

"Diced" are now the "features" that these balls occupy Depressions are assigned. These "features" (e.g. numbers) can be read off on the top of the device cover.

Devices designed according to the invention can, for example, apart from parlor games of all kinds, used in lottery ticket acceptance points. The game enthusiasts can use a soichea The device "dice" all six numbers that you want to "tap" with one throw (shake). This is precisely where the advantage of one thing becomes apparent Devices designed according to the invention: in this case it has as many indentations as there are numbers to choose from and as many Balls, like numbers, can be "tapped" in the lottery in question.

The inventive idea can also be designed so that the device is built in a spherical shape, this ball being flattened at the top and then installed there carries the box, as described above. In a manner known per se, in the manner of the so-called "stand-up men" Such a spherical device can be installed in such a way that it is thrown on the table and it swings in, and then just Roll the balls into new wells by shaking them.

Claims (2)

Sheet 3 Figures 1 and 2 show exemplary embodiments of the inventive concept. Fig. 1 shows an embodiment in box shape. 1 is the box that has a raassiveai bottom 1, on the inner surface of which the wells are! 3 are »4 are two balls that are embedded in such depressions. 2 is the Kasteis lid whose top must be transparent. On this upper side there are now printed on the features assigned to the depressions below, in this case the numbers (5, 6, 7). Only some of these characteristics are shown * Of course, such characteristics must be applied above each recess. Fig. 2 shows a section through a device according to the invention in the form of a "standing ball". The housing is provided with a corresponding load around 9. On its flattened side at the top, it has the edges built into the bottom 10, which in turn has the depressions 11 in which the balls (only two balls 12 are shown) are embedded. The box is closed at the top with the lid 13, which is transparent and, like the box shown in Fig. 1, bears the associated feature information above the recess. Fig. 3 shows such a spherical device in a plan view. You can see the lid with the mark indicated. Of course, the spherical housing can be made of material that does not damage it when rolling on a table (rubber, plastic, etc.). 1.) Game device for rolling dice in front of features, characterized by a box with a bottom containing vertiefuligen on the inside, the number of which corresponds to the number of features below whom to choose and by seeing as many balls how features are selected on the same side should, the wells are designed so that the balls store in these wells when shaken ,, and where the box contains a lid, on top of which the one below Sheet 4 Characteristics assigned to the wells, such as numbers, are given are, and the lid in any case with these characteristics information is transparent. 2.) Device according to claim 1.) characterized in that the box is designed spherical below and in a known manner by appropriate loading under the influence of gravity adjusts itself again and again on a horizontal surface in such a way that the box lid (and thus the box bottom) is horizontal lie.
