Definitions

  • the dice playing simply consisting in casting the dices on the flat surface, in order to verify, according to the faces which remain upward, the play that in each case would be relevant.
  • a dice box is used or simply the hand itself, after shaking that one or this one.
  • this utensil is formed by a container of a rectangular appreciably prismatic shape, opened in its upper base, and with interior walls in downward position in funnel shape, and a lateral opening next to the base, which opening is on an edge of the horizontal flat surface and in polygonal or circular shape provided with perimeter rim.
  • This surface may be smooth, covered with an appropriate textile material, or simply painted of the form and colour that, in each case it is considered more convenient, or with the advertising signs that may be desired, as well as the surface of the container in which the dices are placed.
  • the utensil for the dice playing which is proposed, is formed by a container (1) in a prismatic, rectangular, hollow, noticeable shape, opened by its upper base and closed in the lower one, in which its frontal and internal back faces (2 and 3) are slightly inclined forming a tunnel, in the first half of the container height, continuing the back face (3) in a ramp (4) which ends in the lower edge of a window (5) opened in the front of the container (1).
  • This container (1) is fixed to the edge of a flat surface (6) in a polygonal or circular shape, provided with a rim (7) on all its periphery, with sufficient height to prevent the dices to come out of their scope.
  • the described utensil organised in this way is simple and comfortable to use, since it will be enough to introduce the dices by the upper opening of the container (1) in order to be dropped inside and be led through the ramp (4) being projected outwardly through the window (5) to fall down on the surface (6) where they stay without the possibility of going out from it due to the height of the rim (7), foreseen in such a way that its height is at least equal to the one of the cube that forms the dice.
  • the dice playing is carried out without the participation of the players' hand, only at the time of introducing the dices in the container (1) since the gravity does the job and the dices are freely cast out on the flat surface (6) where the upper face stays exposed to the eye with the play that, in each case, has been obtained.
  • cylindrical, prismatic shape of the container or any other type thereof may be the one that is most appropriate to each utensil according to the aesthetic function that is desired to be obtained, as well as the one of the flat surface, that may be circular or polygonal or of any other kind of geometrical shape, being of the natural colour of the material in which it is manufactured, painted according to the requirements and everybody's taste, as well as used as support for advertising purpose.
  • the shape, materials and dimensions may be variable and in general, all that which is accessory and secondary, provided that they do not alter, change or modify the essential characteristic of the object which has been described.
