Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates in general to table games and in particular to a team game set that can be used to simulate a match between a pair of opposing teams, for example a football, basketball, hockey, or rugby match or the like.
- In particular, the invention relates to a team game set, characterized in that it includes in combination:
- a playing surface which defines a field formed of two adjacent half-fields each associated with a team, in which the field is bounded by a perimeter line which comprises a pair of field base lines and a pair of side lines, which are respectively opposed to one another, and is subdivided by means of a network of lines into a plurality of squares, each of which corresponds to a playing position,
- a pair of target structures intended to be arranged in a predetermined position in proximity to each of the field base lines,
- a plurality of substantially anthropomorphic pieces, each of which includes an extended support base capable of being placed in one of said playing positions, the pieces constituting the players of said teams and each having a cover part formed so as to simulate a shirt and intended to receive a coloration to allow the players of one team to be distinguished from those of the other team, and
- a movable game member suitable for being placed in one of said playing positions or on a portion of a support base of a piece,
- By means of the invention, a team game set is provided which is of a particularly simple and economical constitution and in which at least some of the game members can be both assembled and personalized by a user who can reproduce on them a coloration, so that the game is also capable of performing an educational function.
- A further subject of the invention is an anthropomorphic piece for use in a team game set, characterized in that it comprises a body which substantially reproduces the shape of a player and which has, at the bottom, means for connection to a support base, the body being provided with a cover part which simulates a shirt and has a pair of faces, respectively front and back, the outer surface of which is prepared to be coloured by a user, the body and the support base of the piece and also the cover part of the body being produced from a sheet material, such as cardboard or the like.
- Owing to such characteristics, any preferred coloration can be reproduced on the shirt of a piece, so that the user can exercise his imagination to design a coloration which is to his liking and can exercise his manual dexterity in carrying it out on the shirts of the pieces of his game team.
- Preferably, the cover part is removable from the body of the piece and comprises two substantially symmetrical halves, separated from each other by a fold line along which is defined an opening which is suitable for permitting the introduction of the head of the body of the piece so as to allow a respective cover part to be associated with the piece.
- The cover parts thus become interchangeable on the various pieces.
- According to another preferred characteristic, the body has at the bottom a groove capable of allowing the insertion of the body in a cruciform arrangement in a corresponding groove formed in an upright part which protrudes from the support base, the body, in the state where the said two grooves are engaged in one another, being connected to the support base in a substantially resilient manner so that by deforming the body with respect to the support base about a general axis defined by said grooves, the body is subjected to a resilient return force sufficient to impart a movement to a movable game member resting on the support base.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become clear from the following detailed description, provided by way of non-limiting example with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
- Figure 1 is a general perspective view of a team game set according to the invention
- Figures 2 and 3 are respectively a front, exploded perspective view and a front, perspective assembled view of one of the pieces forming part of the game set,
- Figures 4 and 5 are respectively similar views of a variant of the piece illustrated in Figures 2 and 3, and
- Figure 6 is a perspective view which shows diagrammatically the operation of the piece of Figures 4 and 5.
- Referring first to Figure 1, a team game set according to the invention comprises a playing surface 1 which defines a field formed of two adjacent half-
fields - The field of the surface 1 is bounded in particular by a perimeter line formed of a pair of opposed
field base lines 3 and of a pair of likewise opposedside lines 5, which define at the respective points of intersection fourcorners 7 of the field. At each of thecorners 7 there is suitably arranged aflag 9 produced from cardboard as a result of the assembly of a pole part, provided with a triangular flag, and a corresponding pedestal. - On the playing surface is traced a network of
lines squares 15 identical to one another and arranged in a matrix arrangement, eachsquare 15 corresponding to a playing position for apiece square 15 at the same time. - In a central portion of the
field base lines 3 there are also defined respective restrictedareas 18, or penalty areas in the case of the football game, adjacent to which are positioned outside the fieldrespective target structures 19, or goal structures. Eachstructure 19 is produced from a member shaped out of cardboard or similar material on which are arranged a plurality of creases which constitute predetermined fold lines, so that by folding the respective shaped member along the creases and fixing its parts to one another other by means of gluing or other known connection systems, for example, of the tab and slot type (not illustrated in the drawings), a three-dimensional structure is obtained that can rest in a stable manner on a surface. - The set includes a plurality of
pieces - Each
piece body 27 of cardboard or the like on which is traced the shape of the player with thehead 27b above the trunk and in proximity to theshoulders 27c, and from which anappendage 27a extends at the bottom. Theappendage 27a is intended to be introduced into acorresponding slot 29a defined in asupport base 29, this also being of cardboard or similar material, having a substantially circular or elliptical shape of dimensions such as to be able to be contained within one of thesquares 15 of the playing surface 1. Thetab 27a may in particular be fixed in theslot 29a by interference or by means of another known connection system, for example by means of gluing. - According to the variant in Figures 4 and 5, in which the same references have been used as in Figures 2 and 3 to indicate identical or similar parts, the
body 27 has at the bottom agroove 27d parallel to its general axis. Thegroove 27d is intended to be engaged in a cruciform arrangement in acorresponding groove 28a defined in anupright part 28 which extends upwards from thesupport base 29. In particular, thepart 28 is bounded by acutting line 29b formed on thebase 29 and by a linear base crease which allows thepart 28 to be folded perpendicularly to thebase 29 in order to obtain its configuration illustrated in the figures. - When the
grooves body 27 can rotate to a limited extent, causing a torsional elastic deformation of thepart 28. On releasing thebody 27 from the deformed state of thepart 28, the body tends to return abruptly into a rest position which corresponds to the undeformed state of thepart 28. If during its movement thebody 27 meets an object arranged on top of thebase 29 in the region of the radius of action of thebody 27, the object is subjected to a sudden thrust which causes it to be moved away from thepiece 20, as will be explained in more detail hereinafter. - The
body 27 of eachpiece 20 is equipped with acover part 30 which simulates a shirt for the player at the level of his trunk, and initially has a light or white outer surface of a material, for example, paper, suitable for receiving any coloration by a user, for example by means of common writing instruments such as felt-tipped pens or the like. On theback half 30b of the part a square can be arranged for the inscription of the name of the player and/or an area for the indication of the number of the player himself (not illustrated in the figures). - The
part 30 is preferably produced as an element separate from thebody 27 so as to be removable from the body itself. The part comprises two halves, afront portion 30a and aback portion 30b, substantially symmetrical and separated from each other by afold line 32, for example defined by a corresponding crease. Anopening 34, for example of elliptical shape, wide enough to permit thehead 27b of thepiece 20 to be introduced into it, is formed in a central position with respect to theline 32 so that thepart 30 folded along theline 32 can be arranged to rest on theshoulders 27c of thebody 27 of therespective piece 20 so as to be associated with thebody 27 in a substantially stable manner. - The set further includes a
movable game member 21, that is, in the case of the football game, a disc of cardboard or similar material representing a ball. Theball 21 has dimensions smaller than those of asquare 15 so as to be able to be positioned within one of the squares of the surface 1 or rested temporarily on top of a portion of thesupport base 29 of one of thepieces 20, when the respective player is in possession of the ball. - The set further comprises a
main dice 23, for example with six faces, bearing on the faces a plurality of symbols which identify a respective number, and anauxiliary dice 25, this also having for example six faces on which are represented respective graphic symbols, each of which corresponds to a possible state associated with a shot made with theball 21, by apiece 20, towards agoal structure 19, for example afirst state 25a of effective reaching of thegoal structure 19 represented by a ball in the net, asecond state 25b of stopping of theball 21 by agoalkeeper 20a, and athird state 25c of missing of thegoal structure 19 by theball 21, represented by a flag similar to one of theflags 9. - Preferably, both the
dice 23 and thedice 25 are also produced from a sheet material, for example cardboard, with the faces separated by crease lines, so as to be able to be assembled and, if required, coloured by a user by folding along the crease lines and then fixed, for example by gluing of their parts, in the assembled state. - When the game set is in use, the
pieces 20, that is the players of the two teams, are first positioned randomly or in an order pre-established by a rule, at therespective squares 15, and theball 21 is for example arranged in asquare 15 close to the centre of the playing field. - The users of the set then take turns by throwing the
dice 23 and moving one of thepieces 20 of their own team and/or theball 21 according to a sequence of moves which correspond to the number obtained with thedice 23 for that playing turn, for the purpose of trying to get the ball into thetarget structure 19 of the opposing team. - When a
piece 20 in possession of the ball is in a position close to the restrictedarea 18 of the opposing team, at the appropriate playing turn a shot at goal may be made with theball 21 to try to score a point in the game. For this purpose, the number obtained by throwing thedice 23 must be such as to permit theball 21 to be brought within thestructure 19 by avoiding thesquare 15 in which thegoalkeeper 20a of the opposing team is located. When thestructure 19 has been reached with a shot, theauxiliary dice 25 can be used to verify that thetarget structure 19 has been effectively reached, or to verify the response of theopposing goalkeeper 20a to the shot made. In particular, if when throwing thedice 25 the latter falls with theface 25a upwards, theball 21 has effectively reached thestructure 19 and a point is then awarded to the team to which thepiece 20 which has made the shot belongs, while if when throwing thedice 25 thefaces - Alternatively, by using the
piece 20 in Figures 4 and 5, the phase of shooting theball 21 towards astructure 19 or towards anotherpiece 20 may be effected as shown diagrammatically in Figure 6, that is by resting theball 21 on top of thebase 29 and subjecting theupright part 28 to torsion by means of the application of rotation to thebody 27 with respect to thebase 29. In this way, on the release of thebody 27, the latter will undergo a sudden movement owing to the resilient return of thepart 28 towards its undeformed state, allowing theball 21 to be struck, if the latter is correctly arranged in the radius of action of thebody 27, and consequently bringing about the movement of theball 21 on the playing surface 1. - Besides the
pieces pieces 20 of the opposing team or of theball 21.
