Skill game

The invention relates to a game of skill intended for the entertainment of the players and the promotion
the dexterity and coordination skills of the individual
Player serves and also as a competition between several
Players can be played.

The invention creates a game of skill with a Geatell rotatably mounted on a base plate about an axis and with a next to the rotatable frame arranged th safety device, which can be brought by a player from a Huheatstellung in a "catching position ¹¹ , with an attempt should be made while the frame sioh rotates around its axis to catch certain! parts of the frame

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawings shown show it)

Jig.1 tine perspective view of an inventive Skill game

FIG. 2 shows a vertical partial detail in an enlarged hatred rod, cut near line 2-2 of Pig. 1;

FIG. 3 is a top view of part of the FIG game shown in enlarged * scale

The embodiment of the invention shown in the drawings has a frame designated overall by to in the porin of a carousel designed as a wheel star on ο The frame is on an essentially horizontal Base plate 12 is rotatably mounted and rotates about a substantially vertical axis that of an upright Pin 14 (Figo2) is formed, which stands from the base plate 12 upwards. The pin protrudes into a centrally arranged Hub 16 of the rotating frame 10. As Fig. 2 shows, the frame 10 sits by gravity on the tip 18 of the pin 14 and rotates about this tip. The foot of the The pin 14 and the lower part of the hub 16 are cylindrical Contact surfaces 20a or 20b, in order to give the rotating frame 10 the necessary stability and to make it approximately in to hold a horizontal plane so that it cannot tilt around the tip of the pin 14.

In the illustrated embodiment of the invention, the rotating frame 10 has the shape of a bad star with several Speiohen 22, which from the central hub 16 approximately in equal angular distances radiate outwards · The Speiohen 22 end in finger-like parts 24, which from the hotel axis of the carousel protrude radially close to the outside Preferably, the Speiohen 22 with their associated fin » like 24 practically the same length, so that the periphery of the Carousel forms a circle concentric to the axis of rotation with the pin 14 as the center of the circle

In detail, each spoke 22 has a saddle, which is designated as a whole with 26 and for receiving special Elements, such as Figure 28, are used · In the drawings, these figures are reproduced horses · Figures 28 are removable from the saddles 26 and this provides an opportunity to score points in the game, as will be more detailed later is described

Next to the circumference of the rotating frame 10 is a safety gear arranged, which is designated as a whole by 30. The safety gear is made by a player from one of the FIGS and the rest position shown in solid lines in FIG. 2 in a catching position (shown in broken lines in FIG. 2) transferable, with the attempt being made to remove certain! parts of the rotating carousel, namely the radially protruding To catch fingers 24 'while the carousel rotates about the vertical axis given by the pin 14 · In the Ausführungsbeispiel shown, the safety device 30 has a lever 32, which is on a lever pad 34 to a Axis is rotatably mounted, which is formed by a pivot 36 · You axis of the pivot 36 is practically parallel to the circumference of the carousel or to the plane of rotation of the same The lever pad 34 for the lever 32 is on a the outward-facing part 38 of the base plate 12 is attached The inner end of the lever 32 carries a transverse beam 40, from which several arms 42 stand up. These are hiring Means to catch the fingers 24 on the outer ends of the spokes 22 of the carousel · The upstanding arms 42 have a sufficient distance from one another so that the fingers 24 can catch between them. The safety gear is pivoted about the pivot 36 from its rest position into its catching division by the arms 42 opposite The end of the lever 32 is depressed, as indicated by the arrows A in FIGS. 1 and 2

109831/0284

To play, the frame 10 with the figures 28 detachably attached to it is rotated in a given direction, preferably in the direction in which the figures are looking Pivot 36 pivots and thereby catches one of the outwardly protruding fingers 24 of the spokes 22. Various schemes for counting points can be provided. For example, the figures 28 can be provided with different colors or different numbers of points can be printed and the player must then try to win the figure with the highest number of points by using the associated finger 24 'on which this figure is held , einfängto the figures can however be AUOH per naoh the number of players dyed or referred to, so that a player tries the figure or figures with the color or marking his opponent to catch _e can addition be the task of the game, just more characters to catch as the opponent · Many other rules of the game are possible.

It should be noted that the arms 42 on the crossbar 40 of the Lever 32 form two compartments A and B of unequal length. This way, the difficulty level in capturing a finger 24 can be changed. In the same way it is more difficult to capture one of the circumferential fingers 24, if the rules of the game dictate, pinch your finger closer spaced arms 42 delimiting the shorter compartment B
