Definitions
- the invention relates to a board game cassette, comprising two wings of the same size, which are at least approximately aligned with one another in the position of use, each of which has a flat, rectangular board section serving to accommodate a representation of the playing field on its upper side and three of which one longitudinal side and its two transverse sides over the top in the position of use upwardly extending, adjoining side walls of equal height, and further comprising an elongated, flat back part of at least approximately the length of the long sides of the board sections of the same length and at least approximately twice the height of the side walls of the same width, on the wings in the region of mutually adjacent long sides of their board sections are hinged in such a way that they leave the position of use in which the side walls provided on the long sides of the board sections on the longitudinal side facing away from one another sides of the board sections lie and the tops of the board sections lying at least approximately parallel to the back part are at least approximately flush with one another, can be folded into a closed position in which the board sections are parallel to one another and perpendicular to the
- Such a board game cassette is known.
- the wings are integrally formed with the back part, and the board sections of the wings are hinged on the long sides of the back part at bending points that are thinner than the back part and the board sections, so that in the use position the top of the back part lies between the tops of the board sections.
- the top of the middle section does not interrupt the continuity of an overall playing field extending into both wings
- approximately the same sized, flat disks, provided on their upper sides with half of the total playing field representation are provided on the upper sides of the board sections, which in the use position the wing must be pushed to the middle over the back part until it abuts and must be pushed back onto the board sections before the cassette can be brought into its closed position. This results in an unpleasant operation for the user.
- Board game cassettes of the type mentioned at the outset are usually stored upright by users in a similar manner to books in such a way that the flat, optionally labeled back part stands and remains visible.
- the cassettes are further usually in one multiple cassettes having housed housing, the front of which is open for the removal of individual cassettes.
- the clear tube of this housing is generally not greater than the height of the upright cassettes, so that they cannot be overlapped on their top for removal. Rather, it is necessary to grasp the back of the cassette. This is difficult, however, because on both sides of the back perpendicular to this, the outer sides of the wings, which are at the bottom in the use position, are generally very smooth.
- the invention has for its object to simplify the manufacture of a board game cassette of the type mentioned and to facilitate its use.
- the object is achieved according to the invention in a board game cassette of the type mentioned in that at both ends of the back part of this in the position of use extending legs are bent at right angles, that the board sections abut against each other in the use position above the back part, that the side walls lying on the transverse sides of the board sections are each hinged to a leg of the back part by means of a joint and that each joint consists of two joint elements, one of which is a pin and the other is a receiving opening for the pin.
- the board game cassette according to the invention does not consist of a single molded part, but of three molded parts, namely the two wings and the back part, but these are relatively small and therefore smaller and simpler Molds to be manufactured parts that can be easily joined together by means of the joints be connected so that the manufacture is facilitated. It is further characterized in that the two board sections abut against one another in the use position, forming a continuous surface thereon which can be printed directly with the playing field representation or can be provided in another way with the playing field representation without the need for disks which can be displaced relative to the board sections. This also eliminates the need for guide means for these disks. The elimination of the mentioned disks and their guide means further facilitates the manufacture.
- cassette is also simplified, since when the cassette is opened there is an uninterrupted display of the playing field without first having to bring disks mounted in the wings into contact with one another. Finally, it is also possible to pull the cassette out of a plurality of upright cassettes in a simple manner by encompassing the back part, since here the board sections which are not articulated on the long sides of the back part can be pressed against one another on account of their elasticity which is always present to a certain extent.
- the playing field representation is formed on disks or leaves lying loosely in the wings, which can then be articulated to one another at a kink adjacent to the back part.
- the playing field representations are held or formed so as not to be displaceable on the board sections.
- the playing field representations of both board sections are formed on a single, flexible film which is glued to partial areas of the tops of both board sections in such a way that the longitudinal sides of the board adjacent to one another at a butt joint sections subsequent surface areas are left free of adhesive.
- the film In the closed position of the cassette, the film, as far as it extends over the butt joint, then runs in an arc adjacent to the back part without forming a kink, which prevents breakage at this kink and damage to the surface due to the kink.
- the film has an I-shaped incision, the middle section of which runs along the butt joint of the adjacent longitudinal sides of the board sections and the two end sections of which run perpendicular to the central section run parallel and spaced apart from the transverse sides of the board sections, and that the film in its areas adjacent to the central section up to the edges of the board sections lying on the butt joint is glued to their surfaces.
- the mutual inner spacing of the legs of the back part corresponds to the outer spacing, measured in the longitudinal direction of the board sections, of those on the transverse sides thereof Sidewalls are at least approximately the same.
- the back part and the wings can be produced in a particularly simple manner.
- the pins of the joints are formed on the outer sides of the side walls and the receiving openings for the pins in the legs of the back part.
- the receiving opening for the pins has the shape of an elongated hole. This achieves a certain mutual mobility of the back part on the one hand and the wing on the other hand, which facilitates the folding movement of the wing. It is particularly expedient here if, according to a further embodiment, the longitudinal axes of the elongated holes extend in the use position with a directional component perpendicular to the back part and preferably parallel to one another perpendicular to the back part.
- the board game cassette shown comprises, as can be seen in particular from FIGS. 1 and 5, two, in a position of use (FIGS. 1 and 4) at least approximately aligned wings 1, 2 of the same size, each of which has a flat, rectangular board section 3 and three of which one longitudinal side and its two transverse sides have side walls of the same height, which extend upwards, adjoin one another and together form an edge 4, over the top in the use position.
- the board game cassette comprises a back part 9, which has a band-shaped, elongated, flat section 8 ′ twice the height of the edges 4 of the same width and, at both ends of the section 8, legs 10 extending upwards therefrom in the position of use which are bent at right angles from section 8.
- the wings 1,2 and the back part 9 consist of a thin, tough elastic plastic material.
- the board sections 3 lie with their edges adjacent to the butt joint of their outer sides lying in the use position at the top of the section 8 of the back part 9.
- Short cylindrical pins 6 are provided on the outer sides of the edges 4 near the butt joint, which engage in the openings 10 in the legs 10, each having the shape of an elongated hole, in order to form a hinged joint.
- a folding movement of the wings from the closed position shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 over the intermediate position shown in FIG. 3 into the open use position shown in FIG. 4 and back is possible.
- the rectangular shape of the two board sections 3 corresponds to half of a square.
- a film 7 is glued with the representation of an entire square playing field; in Fig. 1, the two halves of the film are shown unconnected with each other only for the sake of simplicity.
- the film 7 is provided with an I-shaped incision, the middle section of which runs along the butt joint of the board sections 3 and the two end sections of which run perpendicular to the middle section on the boundaries between court plaques of the court representation parallel to the edges 4 in the region of the pin 6 so that between these end sections and the edges 4 the areas of the film 7 which cover the butt joint and are indicated on the left in FIG. 5 as dashed arcs. Except in these regions of the film 7 which stand out from the board sections 3 in the closed position (FIGS. 2, 5), the film 7 is glued to the upper sides of the board sections 3 in all other surface areas.
- the sections 3 facing away from the board run in the use position at the top end faces of the edges 4 rounded at their ends facing the butt joint of the board sections 3 in an arc toward the upper edges of the board sections 3 lying on the butt joint, the sheets each running concentrically to a pin 6.
- the receiving openings 11 designed as elongated holes have a mutual center distance which corresponds to the mutual center distance of adjacent pins 6 when the board sections 3 abut against one another in the position of use. These center distances are twice as large as the horizontal distance, measured in the position of use, of the axis of a pin 6 from the adjacent upper edge of the respective board section 6 lying at the butt joint.
- the receiving openings 11 extend with their longitudinal axes perpendicular to section 8 of the back part 9 , The section 8 adjacent end has such a small distance from the section 8 that the joint formed by them and a pin 6 each does not prevent the respective board section 3 from resting on the section 8.
- the elongated hole shape of the receiving openings 11 enables the pins 6 to be lifted relative to the section 8 when the wings are folded through the position shown in FIG. 3, since the pin 6 has a slightly larger pitch angle from the lower longitudinal side edge of the associated board section 3 in the use position than the horizontal distance measured in the use position between the pin 6 and the adjacent upper edge of the board section 3 lying at the butt joint.
- the elongated hole shape of the receiving openings allows the section 8 of the back part 9 to lie tightly against the board sections 3.
- the receiving openings 11 of both legs 10 of the back part 9 are of course aligned in pairs, and likewise the two in each case on one Winged pin 6.
- the mutual inner spacing of the legs 10 is equal to the outer spacing of the edges 4 measured in the longitudinal direction of the board sections 3, so that the pins 6 protrude directly into the receiving openings 1 and cannot come out of them.
- the elasticity of the plastic material used allows the legs 10 to be bent apart to allow the pins 6 to be inserted into the receiving openings 11 when the wings 1, 2 are mounted on the back part 9.
- the cassette in the closed state can serve to accommodate game figures 12, wherein fastening means for releasably holding the game figures 12 on the film 7 can be present.
- the undersides of the figures 12 can be designed to be self-adhesive with respect to the film 7. It is then possible to interrupt a game, to leave the game pieces 12 in place, to close the cassette and to open it again at a later point in time, and then to continue the game with the position of the game pieces 12 remaining unchanged.
- FIG. 5 If one considers FIG. 5 as a horizontal cross section through the cassette, which is kept standing between further, similar cassettes, it can be seen that the user pulls out the cassette between the other cassettes by the back part 9 (FIG. 1) at its section 8 approximately halfway up the cassette, since in this area the two board sections 3 are not articulated to section 8, but are not connected to it, so that when reaching behind section 8 they can be pushed towards each other towards the inside.
- the back part 9 FIG. 1
- a suitable locking or latching means is expediently provided on their outer sides facing away from one another in FIG. 1 and adjacent in FIG. 5.
- this can be of any type known, for example from wallets, its parts should expediently be formed in one piece with the wings 1, 2.
- FIG. 6 A corresponding embodiment is shown in FIG. 6.
- the wing 1 has at its edge 4 near its upper end in FIG. 6 and the lower end in FIG. 6 two latching extensions 14 projecting beyond the end face of the edge 4 facing the wing 2 in the closed position, which are formed in one piece with a bracket 13 which is in turn formed in one piece with the edge 4.
- two molded pieces 15 are formed on the outside of the edge 4 of the other wing 2 as one-piece extensions, which are designed to lock the extensions 1 4 behind their mutually facing latching seat surfaces 16.
- the wings 1, 2 can be made sufficiently large to each carry their own, complete representation of the playing field.
- a thermal lock can also be provided.
