Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus for preparing predetermined card game data.
  • Another solution would be to give each player a game and a list of his hands to build his game at the table.
  • the practical arrangements for carrying out the operation at the table would be difficult, given the necessary secrecy in relation to the other players.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks and, to this end, it provides a device of great simplicity and low cost allowing each player, at the table and before the deal is played, to prepare very quickly and with discretion compared to others players, the hand he will play and whose configuration is provided by current usual means such as microcomputers or telecommunications services.
  • the apparatus made available to each player comprises on the same support a housing intended to receive a list of hands per player, printed on a strip, a means allowing the discreet manual scrolling of this list under the control of the player, and separate support means allowing the storage of four decks of playing cards each containing the thirteen cards of a color and arranged so that the identification of the four colors is clearly visible and that the manual extraction of the decks of cards, one by one, be made easy.
  • the device can be in the form of a tube with a horizontal axis, part of the length of which serves as a support for the four packets of cards, while the other part is designed to receive the list of hands and allow its discreet unfolding. in front of the player.
  • the means for supporting the four packets of cards are constituted by four successive slots made in a part of the tube and oriented along generatrices thereof, each slot receiving a packet of cards which come to bear on the internal surface of the tube.
  • this part of the tube continues upwards over the entire length of the slots by a vertical wing insulating these slots, and the packets of cards which they contain, from the sight of the other players.
  • the means for storing and scrolling the list of hands are constituted by the other part of the tube which receives said list wound on itself and has at least one slot disposed towards the front and through which the external end of the list to be read by the player.
  • two other slots close to each other and through which the list of hands passes successively are arranged behind the outlet slot to create a baffle effect and slow down the scrolling of the list of hands.
  • the exit slot can be provided in front of a vertical face of the tube, which makes it possible to isolate from the view of other players the part of the list of hands exiting the device, thereby ensuring the necessary secrecy.
  • the tubular body receiving the four packets of cards and the list of hands per player, is made integral with a support file, of generally vertical orientation and taken along a plane perpendicular to the axis of the tubular body, intended to be applied against the edge or the vertical edge of the bridge table and provided with means for fixing to said table.
  • a support file of generally vertical orientation and taken along a plane perpendicular to the axis of the tubular body, intended to be applied against the edge or the vertical edge of the bridge table and provided with means for fixing to said table.
  • the vertical flat upper part of the support file, used for fixing it to the table continues with a second part which is also vertical or substantially vertical, secured to the tubular body, the plane of which is slightly offset towards the inside of the bridge table. , under the tray.
  • the tubular body of the device is completely hidden from the view of other players by the edge of the bridge table, which further improves discretion.
  • the top of the bridge table is then completely free.
  • the apparatus according to the invention is generally represented at 1, which comprises a tubular body 2 constituted by an extruded aluminum profile and having feet 3 at its lower part which ensure that it is held in position on a horizontal support.
  • a tubular body 2 constituted by an extruded aluminum profile and having feet 3 at its lower part which ensure that it is held in position on a horizontal support.
  • the substantially horizontal upper face 4 of the tubular body 2 on the right-hand part of this body, looking at FIG. 1, are formed four successive slots 5 parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body 2 and each having a length slightly greater than the width of a playing card.
  • Each slot 5 is intended to receive a pack of thirteen cards of the same color from a deck of cards, and its width is therefore provided accordingly.
  • the body 2 is continued by a vertical wing 6 of a height sufficient to hide from the view of the other players present at the table the number of cards remaining in each color and housed in the slots 5.
  • the tubular body 2 comprises, formed in its upper face 4, two longitudinal slots 7, 8 close to one another while, towards the front, a third slot 9, parallel to the slots 7, 8, is formed in a horizontal part 10 of lower height of the body 2 which follows a vertical portion 11 of this body.
  • Figure 3 is shown schematically, wound and housed inside the body 2, a sheet 12 on which is printed a list of the successive hands of the player established for example from a microcomputer or a telematic device (such as the one designated under the brand name "MINITEL").
  • the outer end of the list 12 exits from the body 2 through the slot 9, enters through the slot 8 and exits through the slot 7 in a location conspicuous by the user but hidden from the view of the other players by the vertical part. 11 of the body 2.
  • a pull carried out by the user on the end of the list 12 exiting through the slot 7 ensures an unfolding of the list 12 which allows the user to take note of the next hand to be prepared, while slots 8 and 7 produce a chicane effect slowing down the progress of this list.
  • the use of the device is immediately understood from the description above.
  • the player has, inside the device, a list 12 of the successive hands that he will have to play, the end of which to read leaves the device through the lower slot 9 so as to be in good shape. reading position in front of the player's eyes.
  • the packets (not shown) of the thirteen cards of each of the four colors of a deck of cards are arranged respectively.
  • the player only has to successively use the four decks of cards contained in the slots 5, only to build his hand color after color, according to the indications in list 12 which can be done easily, quickly and without risk error. It is expected that the player can thus prepare his hand in a time of 40 to 50 seconds on average.
  • the vertical wing 6 hides from the eyes of other players the thickness of the decks of cards remaining in each slot 5, capable of giving indications on the distribution of the game.
  • the shape of the profile constituting the body 2 is such that with a suitable cutter train the slots 5 and the slots 7, 8, 9 respectively can be produced in a single operation.
  • a conical entry, made with a third train of strawberries. can facilitate the introduction of cards into the slots 5.
  • the data roll 12 can be obtained by cutting into four strips (one for each of the four hands) of an A4 format sheet leaving the printer.
  • Each strip will therefore have a width of approximately 52 mm and the part of the body 2 which must contain this strip will therefore have a width of this order. This cutting can be done easily, with three blows of scissors.
  • the tubular body of a variant of the apparatus of FIG. 1 is shown at 2 and at 5 the four parallel slots formed in the upper part of this body for receive the decks of thirteen cards of each of the four colors of a deck of cards.
  • the outlet slot 9 for the list of hands, as well as the slot 8 for braking this list is shown on the other side of the body 2 .
  • a metal support file is shown at 13, the vertical flat upper part 14 of which continues with an inclined part 15 oriented in the direction opposite to the tubular body 2, then by a substantially vertical part 16 whose lower end is integral with the body 2 according to a generator of it.
  • the vertical part 14 is extended by a horizontal wing 17 which extends in the direction opposite to the tubular body 2. With a certain spacing with respect to the wing 17 and parallel to this extends a plate 18 which is integral with the part 14 of the backrest 13.
  • the plate 18 has a tapped hole 19 with a vertical axis in which is engaged a fixing screw 20, the point of which is directed towards the wing 17.
  • the player presses the upper part 14 of the backrest 13 against the vertical edge of the table facing it, pressing the horizontal wing 17 against the upper face of the board of the table. He then actuates the screw 20 until it engages the underside of the table top by pressing it against the wing 17.
  • the body 2 of the device is thus placed slightly under the table top. the table being completely hidden from other players by the edge of the table.
  • the vertical upper part 14 of the backrest 13 has holes 21 with a horizontal axis serving to fix, by means of screws (not shown), this part 14 to the vertical edge of the table top bridge.
