Abstract

The game is comprised of rotary regular bodies and by groups of bodies rotatingly fixed in the cavities of said bodies. Said groups are provided with foldable body elements. The invention is characterized in that the rotary regular bodies are disks and that the form of the groups of bodies which they may have is the form of quadrangular, pentagonal or triangular prisms, or the form of a cylinder or a sphere or the like. Said rotary bodies are mutually connected by a resilient connection and are provided on their outer faces with colors, numerals, images, codes or other symbols which are arranged either by adhesion or in an interchangeable way. When the rotary bodies are turned, endless variations of the configuration may be achieved. Additional bodies provided with colors, images, codes, etc. may also be added. A preferred alternative of the toy consists in that it is provided with legs like a table. The toy is also provided with stop members to make a stop during the rotation of the rotary disks and/or the groups of bodies.

Description

RÄUML I CHES, LOG I SCHES GEESEL LSCHAFTSSP I EL

The object of the invention is a logical spatial parlor game, which consists of at least two groups (n) of body groups provided with colors or other symbols, codes, etc., which are arranged in a rotatable disc and can be turned over

With the game designed according to the invention, one or more people can play simultaneously.

Logical games are already known. Here, the body fields consisting of several game elements can be twisted, shifted in paths and rearranged in various ways. These games include the so-called magic cube, which is protected by a patent in Hungary (patent number 170.062).

These and similar games are mainly so-called monological games. Logical toys with which several people can play at the same time as with a social game are increasingly sought.

According to the invention, we have set the purpose to further develop the logical games and at the same time to simplify them so that new attractive games can be played. The invention is therefore a logical parlor game, which consists of at least two disks rotatable relative to one another and of at least two body groups provided with signs, colors or other codes by rotating the disks around their separation plane and also rotatable and foldable in themselves. According to the invention, they point to everyone Body elements belonging to the body group have a triangular, square, etc. outer cover level, which can also be circular or amorphous. The discs can also be in different

Forms are formed. Your deck level can have a triangular, square, circular, etc. shape, or they are amorphous. The composite panes are therefore prisms, the lateral surfaces of which are triangular, quadrangular, pentagonal, can also have a circular plane or can be amorphous. According to any embodiment, the lateral surfaces of the disks can be formed at a given angle with respect to their end face, so that the disks can only have the shape of a truncated pyramid or a truncated cone. Another feature of the earth bond is that the body groups provided with colors or characters - corresponding to the parting plane of the rotatable disks - are individually divided with characters or body parts with colors, the part or parting planes of the disks being the same Level of the theoretical axes of the body groups fall. The surface of the body groups protruding from the surface plane can also be square, triangular, quadrangular, circular, etc.

A feature of this is that at least one interface or edge of the body elements is formed in a rectilinear or arc-like manner in accordance with the separation plane. An advantageous feature is that the parts on the outer surface body groups provided with signs or colors which protrude into the panes have the shape of a rotating body and are arranged as regular prisms which are limited by at least four locking plates. The cavities in the panes in which the body groups are inserted are delimited by at least four arresting flat surfaces.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, further body groups, which can be rotated with one another and separately, are arranged in the line of the central axis of the rotatable disks and the body groups, the parts of the same body groups which are fitted in the rotatable disks being grooves and edges (running edges) which are mutual form a ver rotatable unit.

The grooves and edges are designed in such a way that the edges in the arcuate grooves can be twisted in the parting plane. At least one locking component is arranged in the parting plane.

Another feature of the invention is to be seen in the fact that the disks are combined by elastic binding elements. The middle body elements of the body groups on the lateral surfaces of the disks each have a pin or pin provided with a head and supported by a spring, the lower disk having either a barrel or any other supporting element, so that the stability is ensured. According to an advantageous embodiment, the toy unit consists of three or more rotatable disks, in their separation planes are arranged with rotatable body groups provided with signs or colors.

Another characteristic feature of the invention is that the axis of the combined disks and that of the individual body groups form an angle of 90 ° with one another and the plane of separation is offset with respect to the body group axis, with the characters, colors or other symbols pointing to the outer surface of the body group elements are interchangeably attached or attached.

The invention is explained in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 9 shows the fastening elements partially in section, whereby the toy can be attached to a table. FIG. 10 shows the embodiment according to FIG. 8 in section. Fig. 11 shows the toy of FIG. 5 in

Section according to DD. As can be seen in FIG. 1, the upper disk 1 and the lower disk 2 are by means of an elastic fastening element 3 arranged in the central bore of the disks, a screw 4 and a base 6 by means of the shaft summarized. The upper and lower discs 1, 2 are fitted together by means of the shaft 6 along the parting plane 12. In the cavities 9 of the disks 1, 2, the body groups can be seen, which are rotatably arranged by their conical outer surface by means of the groove 10 and edge 11 and are also rotatably fastened with pins 15, spring and screws. To lock the body groups 8 during rotation can, the body groups 8 are provided with cams 14 and the connecting surfaces of the disc 2 are recessed.

The lateral surfaces 7 of the disks 1, 2 are along the body groups 8 and on the others

Rϊngsflächen formed as body elements. At the lower level of the disc 2, a bore 13 is provided for the attachment of the foot 21.

2 shows the top view of a further embodiment, on which the disk 1, the shaft 6 and the body groups 8 are shown schematically. The arrangement of the. Disks 1, 2 and body groups 8 can be chosen as desired. For the sake of simplicity, we make known an embodiment according to which the size of the separation plane 12 in the

Relationship to the disc 1 a third, to the disc

2 is two thirds, the body groups 8 having six or nine body elements.

At the Fϊg. 2 / a can be seen in Be tenanssicht, on the Fig. 2 / b and 2 / c in front view and schematically an exemplary embodiment with the cams 14 and recesses 14 / a.

Further embodiments are in the Fϊg.

3 and 4. The disks 1, 2 are circular, in which the cavities 9 for the body groups 8 are designed as cylindrical rotating bodies. It can also be seen from these figures that the body groups 8 have a circular section and the body elements are advantageously divided into circular segments by the parting plane 12, the corners of the body elements being rounded. The organs necessary for locking are Cam 14 and recesses 14 / a. The locking can be released in such a way that the parts of the body groups 8 protruding into the panes 1, 2 are designed as a prism or as a pyramid (delimited by four surfaces). The edges of the

Separation plane 12 and the cavities 9 in the disks 1, 2 are of course rounded. The inner end of the body groups 8 are provided with recesses 16 in order to facilitate the rotation and in the interest of elasticity.

5 shows another embodiment of the toy according to the invention with three disks. A further disk 1 / a is arranged between the already known disks 1, 2 along the plane of separation. The disks 1, 1 / a and 2 are rotatable and serve for their elastic fastening a shaft 6 / b, with a spring 4, a base 5 and with a ring 18.

In order to lock the disks, the cams 14 and depressions 14 / a are provided; In order to be able to easily rotate the body groups 8, the cutouts 16 are worked out. The height of the disks 1 / a also determines the height of the pyramid-shaped body elements. Thus, the number of body elements can be increased by one and thus contains the rows 8 / k, 8 / x, 8 / s and 8 / y of the body elements. The attachment and adjustment of the body groups are achieved by the grooves 10, 10 / a and the attachment edges 11, 11 / a. The formation of the individual body elements is illustrated axonometrically on FIGS. 5 / a to 5 / d.

Another embodiment of the invention corresponding toy is shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. The increase in the number of body groups 8 is achieved such that a cavity 9 / a has been worked out in the central region of the body group axis and new body groups have been arranged therein. Thus, with the design of body groups 8 / a and 8 / b, we have increased the possibility of varying disks 1, 2. The attachment edges 10 of the body group 8 / a are adapted to the groove so that the body elements can be attached. The

Locking organs are of course designed to connect the body groups. The discs 1, 2 elastically fastening shaft 6 / a is provided with spring 4 and with Seeger rings 18 in order to be able to lock the body groups by means of elastically locking elements 1 7, so that these two dual tasks can be solved, namely the attachment of the disks 1,2 and the locking of the body groups 8. In the disks 1, 2 or in their cavities

9 are the body groups 8 or tapered so that the edges can be connected to the groove.

Another embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 8. Here you can see an example with three disks. As shown in FIGS. 8 / a, 8 / b, 8 / c, the edges 11 / a and the groove 10 / a and the bores 19 can be seen. The body groups 8 are rotatably fastened in the cavities 9 by means of a pin or pin 15 supported by spring 4 and provided with a head. 9 shows the disk 2, which has been designed like a table. The stability is achieved with the help of the attached feet 21. Of course, instead of the feet, adhesive disks or similar elements known per se can also be attached. Such a design is only useful if the dimensions of the toy are chosen so that it can no longer be held in the hand. 10 shows the section of the

Disks 1, 1 / a and 2 with the associated, previously not shown components. So you can see how in the disc 1 / a the body elements are guided in the circular grooves 10 / b. In the disc 1 / a is expedient one

U-shaped opening 20 is formed and a circular groove 10 / b is worked out along the parting plane 12.

Fig. 11 is a section of the embodiment example of fig. 5. We have illustrated along the separation plane the grooves 10, 1 / a, 10 / b and the edges 11 / a as well as the connection between the disc 1 / a and the body group 8.

The toy is played as follows: disks 1, 2 are rotated. The body group elements are brought to the body group elements of the neighboring body group 8 and take the place of the body group elements located there. As a result, the number of variations is one less than that of the body groups in the disc. In addition to the rotation of the discs, the body groups can also be rotated. In this case, the disks must not be turned.

Each of the players can therefore either rotate the disks or the body groups. The winner is the one who reaches a predetermined arrangement of the body elements. The game can be played with a number of players equal to that of the body groups. Each body group has a certain number of body group elements, which is the same on a toy. The designation of the individual body group elements is also analog. The game can be started as you like: starting e.g. from a position in which the body elements are disordered, or vice versa: in which the body elements are already ordered.

From this it can be seen that a board game with, so to speak, infinite variation can be played with the toy according to the invention. It should also be noted that such organs are built into the toy, whereby the torsion of the body groups (8 / a, 8 / b) can be carried out by magnetic means. These funds also serve to keep those in place. Under the disks, there may be those to which magnetic means are attached, as a result of which the disks can either be removed or placed on using the magnetic means.
