1 shows a plan view of a slide rule designed according to the invention, the two sliding elements of which have been pulled out of the housing of the slide rule in opposite directions.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the housing of the

Slide rule according to Fig. 1,

3 and 4 corresponding plan views of the two sliding elements of the slide rule.

The slide rule has a rectangular housing, the narrow sides of which are designed to be open, and two Sliding elements 2 and 3, which are similarly rectangular, but have smaller dimensions than the housing and are slidably disposed within the housing.

The housing 1, which preferably, although not exclusively, consists of cardboard, cardboard or other materials that have suitable rigidity and strength, is in the form of a flat shell and has recesses 1a on the shorter sides which enable the ends of the Sliding elements 2 and 3, which are arranged in the housing 1, are intended to facilitate.

The case has the following elements on its front:

On the left, in column form, a series of interrelated numbers A from 1 to 14, which indicate the order or order of the games or competitions in relation to which the predictions are to be developed.

On the head there is a series of interrelated numbers B from 1 to 16, which is one of the identification elements make the prediction.

Also above, below the numbers forming the row B, there are windows or openings 4, with the help of which the second identification elements of the prediction perceptible or are recognizable; these elements are located on the sliding element 2, as will be described below.

Under the openings or windows 4 at the level of the game or Match number 1 of row A is a series of characters C conventionally used in football betting become, like "1", "X" and "2", in the following order: Under the numbers 1 to 8 of the upper row B the "1", under the numbers 9 to 16 of row B the "X" and next to it the "2".

Below the row of characters C some vertical windows or openings 5 are arranged, the height of which corresponds to the Match or competition number η 2 to 6 of column A. Among these Windows 5 at the height of the game or competition numbers 7 and 8 of column A are arranged rows of the following characters: One first series of characters D, which are the match or competition number is represented by the character "1" under the numbers 1 to

and 9 to 12 of the upper row B, and formed by the characters "X" and "2" under the numbers 5 to 8 and 13 to 16 of the row B; a second row E, assigned to the game or competition number 8 is, the character "1" under the numbers 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13 and 14 of the row B and the characters "X" and "2" under the numbers 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15 and 16 of row B.

Under the rows D and E there are further windows 6, which are designed in the same way as the windows 5 and the game or Cover competition numbers 9 to 13 of column A.

Below this window 6 in the amount of the number of games or competitions 14 in column A is another row F with the characters "1" and "X-2" i "i alternating arrangement of the Numbers 1 to 16 of row B.

Finally, at the lower end of the housing there are windows or openings 7, which are similar to the windows or Openings 4 are formed and are intended to display the third and final identification element of the prediction, this element being arranged on the sliding element 3, as will be described below.

The sliding element 2, which is also made of cardboard, cardboard or other suitable material, which is in the Housing 1 is insertable urd fills the upper longitudinal half of the housing, has a row of on its upper part correlated numbers G, from 1 to, which are the second identification elements of the prediction form, with the numbers arranged so that they are through the

Windows or openings 4 of the housing 1 can be perceived or recognized therethrough.

Furthermore, the sliding element 2 has five rows of characters under the row of numbers G, which are arranged so that they coincide with the game or competition numbers 2 to 6. With reference to the correlating series digits G, the characters are as follows:

A row H, assigned to game or competition number 2 has the character "1" under the digits 2, 4, 6, 7, lo, 12, 14, 15, 18, 2o, 22, 23, 26, 28, 3o and 31 and the characters "X" and "2" under the digits 1, 3, 5, 8, 9, 11, 13, 16, 17, 19, 21, 24, 25, 27, 29 and 32.

A series I assigned to the game or competition number 3 is, has under the numbers 2, 4, 5, 8, 1o, 12, 13, 16, 18, 2o, 21, 24, 26, 28, 29 and 32 the character "1" and under the numbers 1, 3, 6, 7, 9, 11, 14, 15, 17, 19, 22, 23, 25, 27., 3o and 31 the characters "X" and "2".

A row J, assigned to the match or competition number 4 has a character "1" associated with the numbers 2, 3, 6, 8, 10, 11, 14, 16, 18, 19, 22, 24, 26, 27, 3o and 32 is, and characters "X" and "2", which together represent the numbers 1, 4, 5, 7, 9, 12, 13, 15, 17, 2o, 21, 23, 25, 28, 29 and 31 are assigned.

A row K assigned to the game or competition number 5 has the character "1" under the numbers 1 to 8 and 17 to 24, and the characters "X" and "2" under the Numbers 9 to 16 and 25 to 32.

-Ιο-

A row L assigned to the game or competition number 6 is, with a character "1" under the numbers 1 to 8 and 25 to 32 and with characters "X" and "2" under the numbers 9 to 24.

The sliding element 3, which is constructed similarly to the sliding element 2 and can also be inserted into the housing 1, to fill in its lower half has a series of related numbers M on its lower part on, from 3 2 to 1, which form the third and final identification element of the prediction and which are arranged so that they can be perceived or read through the windows or openings 7 in the housing 1.

The sliding element 3 also has five rows of characters above the row of numbers M, which are arranged so that they match the game or competition numbers 9 to 13. The characters in relation to the series of digits M are as follows:

A row N, assigned to the game or competition number 9 has the character "1" above the numbers 31, 29, 27, 26, 23, 21, 19, 18, 15, 13, 11, 10, 7, 5, 3 and 2 and the Characters "X" and "2" above the numbers 32, 3o, 28, 25, 24, 22, 2o, 17, 16, 14, 12, 9, 8, 6, 4 and 1.

By inserting both sliding elements 2 and 3 into the housing and sliding them in the longitudinal direction, appear in windows or openings 5 and 6 the corresponding predictions, and by combining them with the predictions, which are on the front of the housing, it is possible to make predictions within a large combination range associated with the 14 games or competitions indicated by the series of numbers A. The predictions in turn can be identified with the help of the numbers in rows B, G and M, of which the first appears on the front of the housing 1-, while the others are placed on the sliding elements and in the Windows 4 and 7 of the housing appear.

The slide rule is not limited to the embodiment described above. Other embodiments and Modifications are possible, for example the following:

1. The predictions made for the four games or competitions assigned and displayed on the front of the housing do not need to be described above To be arranged in a manner and need not be assigned to the games or competitions with the numbers .1, 7, 8 and 14; they can also be assigned to other games and accordingly distributed and grouped differently. The latter would be a change in the distribution and arrangement of the windows of the housing and in the distribution of the bets that are displayed on the sliding elements and are assigned to the other games or competitions.

2. Instead of the two. Sliding elements 2 and 3 also need only one sliding element to be provided; in this Trap should be the series of signs associated with the predictions, which are arranged on the sliding elements, be arranged according to the distribution having the predictions written on the housing.

3. The slide rule described can also be circular; in this case the sliding elements would be rotatable elements and have a shape adapted to the housing.
