Description

The invention is concerned with a portable game board or with a travel game board, where ma set genetic tokens to play a game which are magnetically attached to the surface of the board are drawn, and in particular relates to the inven development of a board part, which has the ability to magnetically attract tokens.

Many common game board designs, which are portable or are designed for travel purposes so that they are lightweight can be carried are such that on the game set or placed on the board stones on the surface of the board by magnetic Forces are attracted so that the game pieces during the game does not move on the board or from the can fall down. However, since the usual, tragba insert a magnet into your game board design, which has an iron plate that is inserted into the game board is embedded so that the magnetic game pieces are magnetic will be attracted to the surface of the board Game board designs thick and heavy because of the irons plate is provided. Hence the usual portable ones Game board designs for easy transportation not suitable. They also have the night, among other things share that their top layers are often due to the high Weight of the iron plate are deformed and / or together men fall.

Taking into account the above circumstances is filed by the applicant of the present application in an early  Japanese utility model application no. (Sho) 57- 1 76 307 (Offenlegungsschrift No. (Sho) 59-79 117) a trag cash game board proposed, with which the above specified difficulties can be overcome at which is a very thin, pure iron structure, which as "Iron foil" is called instead of an iron plate is provided, and in which the iron sheet in one Game board is embedded.

The game board, which is a pure one, embedded in a board tetes iron structure has the advantage that the magnetic tokens are prevented from they move away from the board and from there can fall because they face the surface of the board ma be attracted magnetically, taking up the entire game board is thin and light in weight to make the Trans to facilitate porting. Furthermore, such Game board a protective coating on what deformations and / or collapse prevented to thereby the To extend the service life of such goods. Other on the one hand, this has been developed by the present applicant The game board still has the disadvantages that it is technically difficult, complicated, colorful Field lines, patterns or the like to print, because the top surface of the game board from a thin layer transparent synthetic resin, such as vinyl chloride, is formed, and the bottom surface with the field lines in different other patterns are printed, which in a suitable manner are designed for a game and by means of screen printing or the like are applied. Hence this game board only for a limited number of games, such as chess, that Japanese GO game, etc. can be used in which only one multiple vertical and horizontal lines are required which simply procure in itself but in terms of time and cost are inefficient to create.  

Since in addition the above game board is an egg and a cardboard as a core part on which the iron foil is provided in an overlapping mapping and this is between an upper surface of the board and a protective floor part are provided, the upper flä surface of the board and the protective base part on its circumference edges welded together. Hence the iron depending on the printed patterns the surface of the board is directly visible. This will of course the outer appearance of the mirror board impaired. Furthermore, the iron foil used is in stable, and this makes the game board voluminous and the top surface of the board may curl. Hereby it becomes difficult to finish the top surface of the board like this make sure it is flat and smooth.

The invention is concerned with overcoming the first difficulties mentioned.

The invention therefore aims to be a portable game to provide boards that are easy to transport and / or can be carried.

Furthermore, according to the invention, a portable game board be provided, with the complicated, colorful term field lines, patterns, etc., which in a suitable manner are designed for a game, at low cost connected to be printed on a board surface.

Furthermore, according to the invention, a portable game board are provided, in which the surface thereof ben can be made and the whole board can be designed thin but rigid.  

According to the invention, this is essentially a tragba res game board provided, which a board part on shows which can be folded twice so that a player can carry it in their pocket, etc., and that has an iron foil embedded in the board part, whereby Magnetic tokens are provided, which are on a surface of the board part for playing a game let set, and which of the board part magnetically be pulled, the game board thereby records that the board part is an upper surface plate part which has a smooth and level, transparent Resin layer is formed, a display paper, on which different types of field lines, patterns, etc., which are suitably designed for a game, are printed, a very thin layer of iron and a Protective bottom part, which is of the same art resin is formed like the top surface of the board where with the display paper with the very thin one placed on it Iron foil is attached to the cardboard, and the cardboard with the display paper and the very thin ones attached to it Iron foil between the top surface layer of the board and the protective bottom part is arranged and the upper surface layer of the board and the protective base part on their Circumferential edges are heat welded together.

The transparent, thin surface layer made of synthetic resin can be formed from a vinyl chloride material. The very thin iron foil can be made from a pure iron sheet be formed, which has a thickness of about 20 microns.

The portable game board with the above mentioned bau works as follows.

Because the different types of field lines, patterns, etc., which are suitably designed for a game,  are printed on the display paper and such up printed field lines, patterns, etc. through the transparent, top surface layer of the board viewed with the eyes can be a game board in this way provide which is much more complicated and far more beautiful field lines, patterns, etc. compared to has a usual game board in which the field lines, Mu ster, etc. on the lower surface of the upper surface layer of the resin board using a conventional one Printing technology are printed. So the portable Game board according to the invention more versatile for under different games are used. Since also the very thin iron foil under the top surface layer of the Boards is inserted and in this condition on the cardboard is attached as the core part, the iron foil is not vo luminous, the board surface can be designed, and the whole board can be laid out rigidly.

Further details, features and advantages of the invention emerge from the description below of before preferred embodiments with reference to the beige added drawing. It shows:
