Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Schiebespiel, bestehend aus einer rechteckigen Spielfläche, in der eine Anzahl rechteckiger Schiebesteine parallel zu den Rahmenseiten aufgrund Fehlens eines Schiebesteines zur Bildung eines freien Feldes verschieblich angeordnet sind, wobei die Einzelflächen der Schiebesteine mit Bildteilen versehen sind, die untereinander zu einem Bild oder einem Wort zusammenfügbar sind, wobei im Bereich des Rahmens ein Füllstein zur Komplettierung der Spielfläche vorgesehen ist.The invention relates to a sliding game consisting of a rectangular Play area in which a number of rectangular sliding blocks parallel to the frame sides due to the lack of a sliding block are arranged displaceably to form a free field, wherein the individual surfaces of the sliding blocks are provided with picture parts that can be put together to form a picture or a word, being in the area of the frame a filler stone to complete the Play area is provided.
Die Erfindung geht von einem Schiebespiel aus, welches auch im Stand der Technik als Geschicklichkeitsspiel bekannt ist. Bei derartigen Geschicklichkeitsspielen sind in einer Spielfläche quadratische Schiebesteine angeordnet, die jeweils zu den quer- und längsverlaufenden Rahmenseiten parallel verschiebbar angeordnet sind. Das Verschieben der Einzelsteine wird dadurch ermöglicht, daß ein Schiebestein in der quadratischen Schiebefläche fehlt, so daß in diesen Fehlbereich ein Einzelstein und damit auch eine Einzelkolonne von Schiebesteinen ausweichend geschoben werden kann, so daß die Sortierung der in dem Rechteck angeordneten Schiebesteine erfolgen kann. Dabei ist es möglich beispielsweise die in einem Rechteckrahmen angeordneten Schiebesteine, je nach der gewünschten Größe der Spielfläche des Spiels, in der entsprechenden Anzahl anzuordnen.The invention is based on a sliding game, which is also in the state known as a game of skill. With such Skill games are square in one game area Sliding stones arranged, each to the transverse and longitudinal Frame sides are arranged in parallel. The move the individual stones is made possible by a sliding stone missing in the square sliding surface, so that in this Missing area a single stone and thus also a single column from Sliding stones can be pushed evasively, so that the sorting the sliding blocks arranged in the rectangle can be done. It is possible, for example, to arrange them in a rectangular frame Sliding stones, depending on the desired size of the playing area of the game to arrange in the appropriate number.
Die sich ergebenden Flächen auf der Unter- und der Oberseite der Einzelschiebesteine sind mit Bildteilen versehen, so daß die Einzelbilder durch Verschieben zu einem Bild oder einem Wort zusammengefügt werden können. Dabei ist es auch denkbar beispielsweise Zahlenreihen oder Buchstabenreihen auf den Flächen anzuordnen, die dann der Spieler entsprechend in dem Rahmen verschieben kann, so daß die Zahlen- oder Buchstabenreihen entsprechend einer Reihenfolge geordnet werden, oder die Einzelbilder, ähnlich wie bei einem Puzzle, zu einem Bild zusammengefügt werden.The resulting surfaces on the bottom and top of the individual sliding blocks are provided with picture parts so that the individual pictures by moving them together to form an image or a word can be. It is also conceivable, for example, series of numbers or arrange rows of letters on the surfaces, which the player then can move accordingly in the frame, so that the number or Rows of letters are sorted according to an order, or the single images, similar to a puzzle, into an image be put together.
Aus dem Stand der Technik gemäß der US-A-4,548,410 ist ein Schiebespiel bekannt, welches zur Komplettierung der Spielfläche im Randbereich eine Aussparung aufweist, in die der Füllstein geparkt werden kann, während die Sortierung der einzelnen Schiebesteine in der Spielfläche vorgenommen wird. Nachteilig bei diesem nach dem Stand der Technik bekannten Schiebespiel ist es, daß aufgrund der Aussparung im Rahmenbereich das Schiebespiel von seinem Erscheinungsbild her störend wirkt. Weiterhin ergibt sich aufgrund des ausgesparten Bildbereiches eine Lose in dem Spielrahmen, wodurch sich ein selbständiges Lösen der Steine ergibt, so daß sich die Schiebestein selbständig verschieben und somit der Gesamtcharakter des Schiebebildes nicht erhalten bleibt. Dies ergibt sich insbesondere, wenn beispielsweise das Geschicklichkeitsspiel in der Tasche oder als Schlüsselanhänger mitgeführt wird, und sich dann während des Transportes Ruckel- oder Stoßeinwirkungen ergeben. A sliding play is known from the prior art according to US-A-4,548,410 known, which to complete the playing area in the edge area has a recess in which the filler stone is parked can, while sorting the individual sliding blocks in the Playing area is made. A disadvantage of this according to the state the sliding game known in the art is that due to the recess in the frame area the sliding play of its appearance disruptive. Furthermore, due to the recessed Image area a loose in the game frame, which creates an independent Loosening the stones results, so that the sliding stone independently shift and thus the overall character of the sliding picture is not preserved. This is particularly the case if, for example the game of skill in your pocket or as a key ring is carried, and then jerky or during transport Impact result.
Es ist daher die Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein derartig nach dem Stand der Technik bekanntes Schiebespiel derart weiterzubilden, daß dessen sortierter, bildlicher Charakter nach erfolgter Sortierung der Schiebesteine erhalten bleibt, wobei das Erscheinungsbild des Schiebespiels sowie dessen technische Benutzung verbessert werden soll.It is therefore the object of the invention, one of the prior art the sliding game known in the art to develop such that sorted, pictorial character after sorting the sliding blocks is preserved, with the appearance of the sliding game and its technical use should be improved.

Aufgrund dieser Anordnung ist möglich, daß die das Bild ergebenden Schiebesteine zunächst derart sortiert werden, daß sie das ganzflächige Bild soweit ergeben und zum Schluß der das Sperrmittel bildende Füllstein mit dem komplettierenden Bildteil eingeschoben werden kann. Dabei besteht in vorteilhafter Weise der Füllstein aus einem den Rahmen durchdringenden Schieber, der ebenfalls mit ineinandergreifenden Federleisten und Nuten versehen ist. Somit kann dann, nachdem der letzte Stein an seinen bestimmten Platz geschoben ist, der Füllstein eingeschoben werden.This object is achieved in that the filler stone consists of a slider penetrating the frame, which also provided with an interlocking female connector and a groove is, and the filler on the one hand with a picture part to complete of the picture and on the other hand with the shape and color of the Frame is provided to the overall picture of the locked Close sliding game. Because of this arrangement it is possible that the sliding stones resulting in the picture are initially sorted in this way that they give the whole picture as far and at the end the filler that forms the blocking agent with the completing one Part of the picture can be inserted. There is a more advantageous The filler stone from a slider penetrating the frame, which also has interlocking female connectors and grooves is. Thus, after the last stone on his certain place is pushed, the filler stone is inserted.
Dabei ist nach einer weiteren Lösung der Aufgabe der Füllstein mit einem Teil des Bildes und zum anderen Teil mit der Form und Farbe des Rahmens versehen. Nachdem der Füllstein eingeschoben ist, ergibt sich für das Schiebespiel eine geschlossene Bildfläche und eine umlaufende geschlossene Rahmenfläche, so daß das Schiebespiel von seinem Erscheinungsbild her sich als eine Gesamteinheit darstellt. Soll mit dem Schiebespiel nun wieder gespielt werden, so wird der Füllstein zur Entriegelung verschoben, so daß eine Freifläche innerhalb des Rahmens gebildet wird, die ein Verschieben der restlichen Schiebesteine im Rahmenfeld ermöglicht.After a further solution the task is the filler with part of the picture and part with the shape and color of the Frame. After the filler stone has been pushed in, it results for the sliding game a closed picture area and a circumferential one closed frame area so that the sliding play of its appearance presents itself as an overall unit. Should with the sliding game can now be played again, so the filler stone moved to unlock so that an open space within the Frame is formed, which means moving the remaining sliding blocks enabled in the frame.
