Xmulti-part game device, especially for updating game points

The invention consists of a new game device that can be used for various well-known, existing games (e.g. bocce or chess games) but that also enables new, previously unknown games.

The new game device developed is not limited to one game; it is versatile. It also combines various game functions. The device can combine throwing, aiming, counting and even packaging functions.

For this reason, counting devices are built into the respective game device, which make it possible to dispense with traditional memory aids such as paper and pencil. The counting of the score is documented with the device. In addition, it is also possible to assign other functions to the game device through the sails of the respective game, such as that of a joker, which would otherwise be represented by additional game pieces.

The basic idea of the new game device goes beyond these purely technical functions. It enables games of skill to be enriched with the element of chance and thus made much more unpredictable and interesting. This means that players who are less skilled than adults, e.g. children versus adults, women versus men, have a real chance of winning for the first time. This means that games that were previously only played by experts can now be played as family games.

This takes into account a basic need of all games: a more variable design of the rules and thus of the game play is possible.

This is precisely what is in demand these days, because with more free time, group games are becoming more important. There is also a demand for games that are familiar, but whose rules can be slightly modified using the new device to make them more interesting and enriched with a random variant.

«*· fiiii« ·· ·(

t « ·&Phi;

The current state of technology would allow such changes to the rules. However, the gaming devices are not designed to take this into account. If the rules are made more complicated, the counting methods usually become more complicated and can no longer be remembered. However, if the score can no longer be remembered, additional aids such as paper, pencil or a scoreboard are necessary. This is no longer necessary thanks to the gaming device developed.

In addition, the game device presented here makes it possible to move away from the previously usual, simple addition of the points achieved. In certain situations, defined by the respective game rules, the device can also deduct points. The score is recorded on the device and is always visible to the other players during the game.

A side effect of the device is that children who like to play learn the four basic arithmetic operations as a result of the interesting game rules, whereby they automatically have to use the algebraic number line in both directions and, for example, consolidate the multiplication tables learned at school (including addition, subtraction, division). With this toy, the four basic arithmetic operations are practiced in a playful and non-coercive way.

The object of the invention is therefore to create a game device that allows variable target throwing scores for target throwing object bodies, as well as target object bodies and also pure target throwing bodies. These game bodies have an attached or integrated game point updating device (counting device), which can also optionally be built into the storage container (packaging) that is to be used at the same time, so that the container itself can be used in the game as a clay pigeon with a counting device. In addition, object bodies that are to be handled stationary in particular ensure a playfully functional, sensible handling for easier recording of point scores by adding or integrating scoring devices, including a target field scoring device, with an optionally used target throwing verification method.

The problem is solved by the feature of claim 1 in that a game point update device (for at least 2 game groups) is attached to or is provided on one or more game bodies, preferably on the target object body. This means that the target object body (pigeon) can simultaneously be used as a target throwing object body (yurt pigeon) and as a game point counter for game point update. Particularly symmetrical target object bodies (pigeons) such as cubes (balls) with corresponding point drawings can thus enable a variable target object value or a fictitious field value and, when combined with other target body points, the result can be immediately recorded on one and the same target object body (numerically fixed) and then continued, whereby the base or the holder device for the game progression has a map or optionally a single number ring so that games of up to 9 or 10 games can be noted down at the same time or set up for mapping and read off.

In the embodiment of the invention according to claim 2, the game device is a number setting device that can be operated with the thumb and index finger, whereby in one direction, by turning the pointer or pointer end face, the units numbers from 0 to 9 can be found or set and then by turning the same pointer or pointer end face in the other direction, without having to let go of the pointer, the units number that has just been set can be represented by the pointer pointing to the corresponding tens number from 0 to 9.

In the embodiment of the invention according to claim 3, the game points update device is ensured via a further number ring from 99 to 999.

In the embodiment of the invention according to claim 4, the game device

a) as a storage container (packaging, carrying case) for preferably another 8 required game pieces, which therefore do not require a game point updating device and are additionally used as a clay pigeon for the playing groups with a counting device or point updating device,

b) as a storage container (packaging, carrying case) for preferably 8 target projectiles or also 9 projectiles, divided into two parts, one half of the container for each group of players, additionally in the property of a counting device or point updating device, and also optionally used as a stationary target object.

In the embodiment of the invention according to claim 5, the game point updating device is inserted or built into any target throwing body, so the storage container (packaging) is suitable for preferably 8 or 9 throwing bodies; divided into two, it can then be used as a stationary target object (pigeon) without the counting device; the storage container has a plate with drop holes on the inside for spherical throwing bodies, e.g. for a ten-pin pin placement, optionally also a double-bottomed insert with a laughing figure at e.g. 60 degrees, which is used as a target object when placed horizontally or slightly inclined.

In the embodiment of the invention according to claim 6, the game device is provided with a measuring device for 2 game groups, optionally also integrated into the storage container itself, arranged centrally so that a comparison measurement can be made of each target projectile lying in the area with, for example, a built-in measuring tape, attached from the center of the (stationary) target object (pigeon), rotatable in all directions towards any target projectile.

In the embodiment of the invention according to claim 7, the game body or the game device, mainly for table games, is designed to be flat like a board or disc and is completed with a corresponding number of game point updating devices.

In the embodiment of the invention according to claim 5 , the flat throwing body, used purely as a target object, has additional elevations, depressions, gradations and bulges in the surface of the target field boundary areas, so that by moving the throwing body, the field belonging to can be determined with the eye from a distance. A depression in the center of the game board allows the pigeon die to be clamped in and placed immovably.

In the embodiment of the invention according to claim 9, the flat game body has an edge protector on the edges and especially in the corners, an integrated swiveling or sliding, snap-in, and a removable container for utensils as well as a game point updating device, at the same time with a clampable device for additional game boards as game board holders.

In the embodiment of the invention according to claim 10, the game device with its game point updating device itself has the shape of the 8 additionally required game pieces, e.g. dice, and thus results in a complete game set of these 9 game pieces and only forms a complete game unit with the cube-shaped storage container.

In the embodiment of the invention according to claim 11, a complete game set has nine equally sized game body units such as dice, with one or more dice containing the game point updating devices necessary for the game.

In the embodiment of the invention according to claim 12, nine balls of the same size are used as a game set, so that one or more balls of these also have the game point updating devices required for the game.

In the embodiment of the invention according to claim 13, a game set consists of 9 to 8 equally sized projectile units, the storage case parts of which can be used as a game point updating device or as a stationary target object (pigeon).

In the embodiment of the invention according to claim 14, all device bases optionally consist of wood, rubber, foam , synthetic material, or similar material, but the actual game point updating device expediently consists of plastic, synthetic material, or injection molding.

Several embodiments of the invention are described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It shows

Target bodies such as spheres and balls can be used as target objects, one half each.

Fig. 9.3 shows the front view of a possible additional game point update device.

Fig. 9.4 shows a ball with the arrangement of 2 game point updating devices.

Fig. 10.0 shows a dice target game, preferably for table games, which has a container for up to 9 throwing objects, divided into 2, each equipped with a 10.2 game point updating device.

Fig. 11.0 shows a dice target game with 8 target throwing bodies, preferably for outdoor games, whose two-part container 12.2 has a measuring device (<measuring tape) in each part.

Fig. 1.0 shows a perspective view of a dice with a game point updating device Iu. 1* for two game groups. A map 11 on the dice shows the reading point for the game point updating device numbers 0-9 for the tens. The number set at the marking location 11 thus indicates the point number, e.g. 3 corresponds to 30 and 8 corresponds to 80. The pointer 6 points to the units number 1 or 2, thus 1 belonging to 30 and 2 belonging to 80 shows the total points 31 and 82.

Fig. 1.1 shows in perspective or view a game point updating device Iu. 1* for two game groups, this can be moved against each other in two rows of numbers. The desired number can be set from 0 to 99 or up to 999. For example, if the function shows 1 = 13 and 1* = 28, then with the marking 11 to 1 the assigned number 0 also shows the game winning sequence 0 and the number 1100 (000). Similarly, with 1* the number 5 assigned to the marking shows the game winning sequence 5 and the number 500 (500), e.g. = the total number of points 528. Note: this clock-shaped updating device can also easily be arranged in 3 rows, so that the number 528 next to each other can be read as 5 2 8. However, such a representation has been omitted here, although numbers up to 9999 could also be continued, although this is probably less in demand in games.

Fig. 1.2 shows a perspective view of a game point updating device (1 and 1 ^% ) for two game groups, whose scale is available in parallel for a row of ones and a row of tens for each game group. The numbers for the ones and the tens can be adjusted using movable tabs to match the game point updating. In this example, for one game group, 13 and the other, 28.

Fig. 1.3 shows a Spiglpyntte updating device (1) in perspective, from above, and in the bottom view (1*) on a terpack or container 2 and 2' for target projectiles. The packaging container can be used either as a target object or pigeon as a whole or as a half, whereby the number of points shows, for example, 13 or 28.

Fig. 1.4 shows in perspective, top view, a game point progression device 1 which can be provided with holes using marking pins 3 and 3' according to the game point progression , for example here = 13.

Fig. 1.5 shows a plan view of a target object 2 with the shape of a disc, which can be used as a target throwing object. At the same time, the current game point results can be entered on a game point scale 1 that is attached to it.

Fig. 1.6 shows in perspective, front view, a container or offer part 2 of a target throwing game for preferably spherical target throwing objects. This has itself used as a target object) a game point updating device Iu. 1', bar-like, in parallel length for both game groups. The game point updating has 13 x 28 in this example. Furthermore, a

another 1 ^%N for the group (with 28 points) a round that has already been won.

Note: Such a game point update on a piece of wood is unnecessary if the game point update device is consistently used in the attachment to the pigeon throwing body or on a target throwing body itself. The inexpediency is clearly evident in the arrangement in Fig. 1.6, since either two different games would have to be played at the same time with two oppositely positioned target objects, or with only one target object, the path of the target team would always have to be covered twice for a target throwing sequence. This clearly shows the advantage of the actual invention, since such an arrangement not only saves money, but would also be very disadvantageous for normal games.

Fig. 1.7 shows a symmetrical 12-surface body in plan view. This body is particularly suitable for hard floors, as the concentricity is better ensured with 12- or multi-surface bodies. For both groups of players, a game point continuation device is arranged opposite one another. In addition, there are tiles of the appropriate size in the appropriate player colors, 4, 2 to 6 double or optionally up to 10 or 12 single, with punched-out numbers or figures pressed into the other 10 (12) surfaces of the target object body. This throwing body is particularly suitable for multiplication table games, as well as games with joker drawings, as well as the game point continuation device as a joker itself.

Fig. 2.0 shows a cross-section of an arrangement of a game point updating device 1 and 2 (reciprocal for 2 game groups), whereby the number or symbol plates, like the device, are pressed in and held in place by corresponding protruding profiling 5 in a flexible solid body such as a rubber or plastic ball.

Fig. 3.0 shows a vertical section of the game point updating device in 5 parts with a pointer 7, rotatable inner lockable number ring 4, and the outer number ring 5. This can also be locked in place and rotated. The outer sleeve 6 serves as a protective housing for the device and, like 4 and 5, has a gear ring 8. It is used for the 10-digit grid, which is used to fix the units on the number rings. The round spring leaf 9, which is rotatably connected to the stopper neck 10 with the pointer 7, holds all the device parts (7,4,5,6) together, so that all the numbers 12 can be rotated and moved relative to one another in a springy and spring-back manner. Fig. 3.1 shows the top view of the device with the pointer 7 and the units numbers in the zero position to mark ?1.

In Fig. 4<0, the vertical section (G ^-1D ) shows a variant of the game point advancement device for solid-state game bodies as well as for hollow-state game bodies whose toothed wheel rotation device is correspondingly locked in the opposite direction. The outer sleeve 2 makes contact with the game body as in Fig. 1 and contains approximately the lower half, inside 10 vertically arranged tooth-shaped grooves 3. The following wall 4 of the sleeve (4), which can be rotated in only one direction, has a springy sleeve part 5 which is half-slotted; this has a pawl-like recess 6 in the band area which spring-locks into the butts 3 of the outer sleeve wall.

The pointer 7, which is also connected to another inner sleeve 44, has, as described above, a spring-loaded sleeve part 8, as well as a locking latch 9, which engages in the notch ring area 10 of the sleeve 4. This ensures or prevents the rotation of one or the other number ring blade 11 and 11' in the respective direction.

Fig. 9.1 shows a section of the two-part container 1 with the double figuration insert as target scoring fields 3 in sections, which can be controlled by the speed of the introduction of the target projectiles (balls) via a jump bar 4. A game point advancement device 6 is preferably provided on the container front sides 7 in the form of a bar scale δ by means of movable tabs 9. The inclined position of the target object can be achieved with swivel arms 10, so that the game point advancement device 6 can also be operated in a less bent position. A handle 11 is used to carry the suitcase-like two-part container 1, which snaps into place 12 when pushed together so that it can be carried as a suitcase.

Fig. 10.0 shows a vertical section of a target dice game with storage containers 2 and 2" and integrated game point progression device 1, 1*. With 9 dice bodies including target object bodies, it is particularly suitable for table games, since the dice would be too small for a game point progression device, and each group has its own game point progression device (on the table).

Fig. 10.1 shows a cross-section of the target dice game from Fig. 10.0 with the 6 throwing bodies 3.

Fig. 10.2 shows a top view of the target dice game, the container 2 with an integrated (here optionally simple) game point updating device 1, with additional numbers arranged around the housing around the insert instead of the marking 11 as in Fig. 1.0.

Fig. 11.0 shows a vertical section of a target dice game whose packaging or container (carrying case) is divided into two parts, 1,1' each with a clampable and rotatable measuring device 2, 2' with a clampable spring measuring tape 3,3*.

Note: This version is particularly suitable for outdoor use. Therefore, the 2 container parts can each be used as a stationary target object (pigeon), whereby the game points are updated on a normal game dice of a player, whose respective points for the respective game are representative of the fixed stationary target object (pigeon), as the object value (pigeon value).

Fig. 11.1 shows a cross-section of the game shown in elevation analogous to the device parts, as well as the 8 target throwing bodies 4, one of which has the game point updating device for both game groups. Alternatively, two game bodies from each game group, one of which has its own game point updating device.
