DE202005009052U1 - Electronic dice has two-part plastic housing with two batteries and light emitting diode - Google Patents

Abstract

A board game of chance is played in conjunction with en electronic dice block incorporating two light emitting diodes (1). The dice has a two-part plastic housing which is lit up by the diodes. The light emitting diodes are operated by agitation.

Description

1.) From which parts is the device made?

• two-piece plastic housing - polystyrene - (General Purpose Polystyrene)
• cover plate
• 2 batteries
• Board & electronics
• 2 LEDs
• vibration switch
• housing Color variable (multicolor)
• LED light color variable (multicolor)

2.) Where are which parts specifically appropriate?

The Plastic housing is glued in two parts. Before, inside the lower half of the board used. Then with the upper half glued and fixed. This creates a battery shaft through the upper lid resting closed with two screws and is fixed.

3.) What are some parts connected with each other?

The two housing parts are glued together. The board with the electronics and The light-emitting diodes are previously screwed into the housing. Then be the button cells are inserted in the resulting battery shaft and the Cover attached and fixed. Subsequently, only the corresponding colored dots applied.

4.) What things draw the peculiarity of the device?

• - Balanced cube
• - Interchangeable batteries
• - Multicolor LED
• - Vibration switch
• - For each Board game suitable

5.) How is the device operated?

By the usual roll the dice becomes the vibration switch activated. The lighting time is approx. 10 sec. and deactivates independently.

State of the art

conventional Game dice / dice are mostly made of monochrome, opaque plastic or painted Wood. So far, it was not possible one produce transparent, illuminated and at the same time balanced dice. Therefore, there is currently no comparable product on the market. So there is no competition in this sales area.

The underlying of the invention problem

creation of a balanced, playable and illuminated light cube reduction of the previous techniques on standard size for error-free Use in conjunction with any known board game.

Troubleshooting

Around to guarantee safe handling and optimal fun and was to allow it necessary the size of the past existing dice made of plastic to minimize and integrate the lighting effect.

The advantages achieved with it

The Cube size is optimized for each Board game The lighting allows a unique color palette.

Claims (6)

Luminous cube for use on any board game. It is illuminated by 2 LED diodes and is characterized in that the 2 LED light emitting diodes ( 1 ) in the two-part plastic housing ( 2 ) illuminate the entire cube due to the LED light-emitting diode color. He is suitable for ANY board game. Luminous cube according to claim 1, characterized in that the plastic housing ( 3 ) be at least 1.0 mm, at most 3.0 mm, preferably 1.5 mm thick. Luminous cube according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the cube is suitable for any conventional board game and in addition by the variable color of the light-emitting diodes ( 1 ) and the variable color of the plastic housing ( 3 ) creates a new lighting effect. Luminous cube according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the LED illumination by 2 interchangeable button cells ( 4 ) is operated. Luminous cube according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the three-part housing ( 3 ) is sealed with an insulating non-toxic special adhesive. Luminous cube according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the LED light emitting diodes ( 1 ) balanced on the board ( 5 ) are soldered and by the vibrations during dicing ( 6 ) of the plastic housing ( 2 ) one generated special light effect.
