  • the bodies 4 are balls, however, cylinders, cubes etc. may be also used.
  • the number of the bodies 4 may be optional ly selected, varying in the range between two and twenty.
  • the bodies 4 can be subdivided into two or more groups with different sizes and weights, however, within one group size and weight of the bodies are always identical. In the single groups there are even-numbered bodies 4, while the weight of the bodies in one group amounts to the double, the half or to the integral multiple of the weight of the bodies belonging to the nearest body-group.
  • steel balls are used as bodies 4.
  • the confining edge of the lower bottom 5 of the bases 2 has preferably the shape of a circular arc or an ellipsis.
  • the toy when placed onto a smooth horizontal surface, e.g. en the floor or on the table, is bearing up against the horizontal surface at some point of the confining edge of the bottom 5.
  • the bases 2 are bearing up against the horizontal surface by means of the peaks of the confining edges of the bases 2. For positioning the carrier plate 1 into the horizontal in a swinging-free manner and for keeping the position adjusted, on the peak of the confining edge of the bottom 5 the groove 6 in a width of 2 to 5 mm has been cut out.

Abstract

Le principal avantage est que tant les enfants que les adultes peuvent jouer avec ce jeu dont le déroulement et la pratique ne comportent aucun aspect pénible. Le jeu est petit, facile à transporter, sa construction est simple, ses coûts de production faibles. Le jeu peut être aisément manipulé, les règles s'apprennent facilement. La caractéristique principale du jeu selon l'invention consiste à former sur la plaque de support, des deux côtés du plan vertical contenant l'axe horizontal de rotation, symétriquement par rapport à celui-ci et à égale distance, une série d'évidements pouvant recevoir des corps. Ces corps ayant des poids et des tailles différents servant de poids, chaque groupe de poids contenant des corps de même numérotation. Le jeu est pourvu d'une base portant ladite plaque de support. A l'écart de l'axe de rotation, pratiquement horizontalement sur les deux côtés, se trouve un bord ou une surface de support, chacune d'elles permettant de positionner la plaque de support et de la maintenir dans une position horizontale et de libre oscillation.
