Description

Dispositif pour jeux de hasard Device for games of chance
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour jeux de hasard qui dans sa finalité est comparable aux jeux de dés ou de roulettes.The present invention relates to a device for games of chance which in its end is comparable to dice or roulette games.
Le lancement simultané de plusieurs dés s'effectue traditionnellement à main nue ou par l'intermédiaire d'un godet. Ce qui nécessite une surface de jeu dégagée pour que les dés en roulant n'interfèrent pas avec les équipements de jeu tels que pions, jetons, etc. D'autre part, suivant les jeux, il existe des dés spéciaux à huit, dix, douze, 2N faces qui ont la particularité et l'inconvénient de rouler encore plus facilement. D'autre part, dans le jeu de la roulette française, le plateau circulaire tournant comprend 37 cases, ce qui implique un appareil de jeu lourd et encombrant, nécessitant un savoir-faire dans le lancement de la bille par le croupier.The simultaneous throwing of several dice is traditionally carried out with bare hands or by means of a bucket. This requires a clear playing surface so that the dice while rolling do not interfere with playing equipment such as pawns, tokens, etc. On the other hand, according to the games, there are special dice with eight, ten, twelve, 2N faces which have the particularity and the disadvantage of rolling even more easily. On the other hand, in the game of French roulette, the circular turntable includes 37 squares, which implies a heavy and bulky gaming device, requiring expertise in the launching of the ball by the dealer.
- Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients car il est peu encombrant et il nécessite dans son utilisation qu'une faible partie de surface de jeu choisie par les joueurs. De ce fait, il n'interfère pas avec les équipements de jeu tels que pions, jetons, etc., et il peut tout à la fois correspondre, dans sa finalité, au lancement d'un dé ou lancement simultané de plusieurs dés à jouer à six faces, ou non classique à plusieurs faces en nombre pair ou impair.- The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks because it is compact and requires in use that a small part of the playing surface chosen by the players. Therefore, it does not interfere with game equipment such as pawns, tokens, etc., and it can both correspond, in its finality, to the roll of one die or simultaneous roll of several dice to play with six faces, or non-classical with several faces in even or odd number.
Le dispositif comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique une enveloppe transparente en forme de sablier comprenant deux chambres communiquant par un orifice ou des billes repérées peuvent s'écouler et prendre place dans les alvéoles repérées d'un plateau. L'action de renversement du dispositif est soit manuelle ou automatique lorsque l'ensemble, monté sur une console ayant un axe d'oscillation horizontal, se retourne grâce à l'action d'un lest. Les résultats donnés, par exemple, par la position de chacune des deux billes de couleur différente, peuvent être reportés sur une grille repérée en abscisse et ordonnée pour obtenir les coordonnées d'un point ou d'une case. Ainsi une grille de 6 x 6 donne un choix de 36 cases, une grille de 7 x 7 un choix de 49 cases, etc. ... L'utilisation d'une telle grille combinée avec le dispositif peut remplacer le plateau tournant de la roulette française.The device in fact comprises, according to a first characteristic, a transparent hourglass-shaped envelope comprising two chambers communicating through an orifice or identified balls can flow and take place in the identified cells of a tray. The reversing action of the device is either manual or automatic when the assembly, mounted on a console having a horizontal oscillation axis, turns over thanks to the action of a ballast. The results given, for example, by the position of each of the two balls of different color, can be plotted on a grid marked on the abscissa and ordered to obtain the coordinates of a point or a box. Thus a 6 x 6 grid gives a choice of 36 boxes, a 7 x 7 grid a choice of 49 boxes, etc. ... The use of such a grid combined with the device can replace the turntable of French roulette.
- Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation : L'orifice de communication des deux chambres peut être obturable. - Le plateau alvéolé récepteur des billes peut être tournant.- According to particular embodiments: The communication orifice of the two chambers can be closable. - The honeycomb tray receiving the balls can be rotatable.
Les billes entre elles peuvent être identiques ou non identiques en poids, en diamètre et en tolérances générales sans pour autant fausser les règles du jeu de hasard.The balls between them can be identical or not identical in weight, in diameter and in general tolerances without distorting the rules of the game of chance.
L'enveloppe transparente du dispositif peut être plus ou moins sphérique et distincte ou non du contour des chambres contenant les billes ou éléments sphérique s.The transparent envelope of the device can be more or less spherical and distinct or not from the outline of the chambers containing the balls or spherical elements.
- Le dispositif peut contenir un habillage sphérique démontable ou une enveloppe transparente souple et gonflable.- The device can contain a removable spherical covering or a flexible and inflatable transparent envelope.
- Le dispositif placé à l'envers sur un plan peut se retourner à lui seul grâce à l'action conjuguée de sa forme enveloppe et de son lest.- The device placed upside down on a plane can turn over on its own thanks to the combined action of its envelope shape and its ballast.
Le temps de renversement du dispositif ainsi que son degré de nervosité d'agitation peuvent être réglés par la valeur du lestage et par la grandeur relative du méplat entre son diamètre et celui de l'enveloppe. - La forme entonnoir de la chambre d'émission, dite zone de mélange, possède une pente d'introduction plus ou moins prononcée pour qu'au moment ou le dispositif se stabilise, elle favorise le mouvement rotatoire des éléments sphériques, suivant un temps plus ou moins long, avant leur introduction dans la chambre inférieure de réception. - Un volume de décoration peut être installé sur le milieu du plateau alvéolé de la chambre de réception pour jouer le rôle de déflecteur ou de chicane dans le déplacement des éléments sphériques.The overturning time of the device as well as its degree of nervousness of agitation can be adjusted by the value of the ballasting and by the relative size of the flat between its diameter and that of the envelope. - The funnel shape of the emission chamber, known as the mixing zone, has a more or less pronounced introduction slope so that when the device stabilizes, it promotes the rotary movement of the spherical elements, following a longer time. or shorter, before their introduction into the lower receiving chamber. - A decoration volume can be installed on the middle of the honeycomb tray of the receiving chamber to play the role of deflector or baffle in the movement of the spherical elements.
- Le dispositif peut être équipé d'un niveau à bulle pour parfaire l'horizontalité du plateau lorsqu'il est au repos. De même qu'un compteur de temps électronique ou sablier peut être accouplé à l'ensemble pour définir les temps de jeux.- The device can be equipped with a spirit level to perfect the horizontality of the tray when it is at rest. Similarly an electronic time counter or hourglass can be coupled to the set to define the playing times.
Dans une configuration particulière, les deux chambres du dispositif peuvent cumuler les fonctions de zone de mélange et de zone de réception par le fait que l'ensemble est retournable manuellement et que chaque chambre peut contenir un plateau à alvéoles repérées pour recevoir les billes.In a particular configuration, the two chambers of the device can combine the functions of mixing zone and of reception by the fact that the assembly is manually reversible and that each chamber can contain a tray with cells identified to receive the balls.
Dans cette dernière configuration les plateaux peuvent être identiques ou non, à savoir ; que l'un, par exemple, pourrait contenir 6 alvéolesIn this latter configuration, the plates can be identical or not, namely; that one, for example, could contain 6 cells
(comparable au dé à 6 faces) et que l'autre pourrait contenir 7 alvéoles (comparable à un dé hypothétique à 7 faces) .(comparable to the 6-sided die) and that the other could contain 7 cells (comparable to a hypothetical 7-sided die).
- Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention. - La figure 1 représente en coupe partielle le dispositif selon l'invention. - La figure 2 représente une vue de dessus du dispositif au niveau du plateau à alvéoles (8).- The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention. - Figure 1 shows in partial section the device according to the invention. - Figure 2 shows a top view of the device at the cell tray (8).
En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif dans une première version comporte deux chambres (1) (4) transparentes, en forme de sablier communiquant par un orifice (3) ou des billes (2) peuvent s'écouler. La chambre supérieure (1) peut être fermée par un obturateur (5) pour faciliter l'opération de mélange des billes et ouverte par simple lâché du dispositif, qui placé à l'envers sur le plan horizontal xx' se retourne grâce à l'action conjuguée de sa forme enveloppe sphérique (6) et de son lest (7), laissant ainsi les billes (2) s'introduire dans la chambre de réception (4) pour se positionner dans les alvéoles (8) repérées (9) du plateau.With reference to these drawings, the device in a first version comprises two transparent chambers (1) (4), in the form of an hourglass communicating through an orifice (3) or balls (2) can flow. The upper chamber (1) can be closed by a shutter (5) to facilitate the operation of mixing the balls and opened by simply letting go of the device, which placed upside down on the horizontal plane xx ′ turns thanks to the combined action of its spherical envelope form (6) and its ballast (7), thus allowing the balls (2) to be introduced into the receiving chamber (4) to be positioned in the cells (8) marked (9) of the tray.
Ici, l'exemple donne la bille blanche dans l'alvéole 3 et la bille noire dans l'alvéole 4. L'enveloppe (6) a pour caractéristique d'être transparente, démontable et distincte du contour des chambres (1) et (4). Dans le cas d'un dispositif grand format, l'enveloppe peut être souple et gonflable ou ajourée et sous la forme d'un 3 - berceau à maillage métallique ou plastique (21). Le méplat (19) donne l'assise horizontale, et le réglage relatif de son diamètre avec celui de l'enveloppe (6) conjugué avec l'ajustement du lest (7) donne le temps de renversement du dispositif ainsi que son degré de nervosité et d'agitation. Au milieu du plateau s'élève une forme conique (12) qui joue le rôle de déflecteur au moment de la tombée des billes. Nous remarquerons aussi la forme entonnoir de la chambre (1) ou la pente (11) est ajustée pour qu'au moment ou le dispositif s'agite et se stabilise, elle favorise le mouvement rotateur des billes suivant un temps plus ou moins long. - La figure 3 représente une deuxième version du dispositif ou l'enveloppe (6) est confondue avec le contour des chambres (1) et (4) qui sont séparées par une cloison (10) percée et à faces pentues (11) et (1 1 '). La figure 4 représente une troisième version du dispositif ou les deux chambres (1) (4) cumulent les fonctions de zone de mélange et de zone de réception par le fait que l'ensemble est retournable manuellement et que chaque chambre contient un plateau à alvéoles(8) .Here, the example gives the white ball in the cell 3 and the black ball in the cell 4. The envelope (6) has the characteristic of being transparent, removable and distinct from the contour of the chambers (1) and ( 4). In the case of a large format device, the envelope can be flexible and inflatable or perforated and in the form of a 3 - cradle with metallic or plastic mesh (21). The flat (19) gives the horizontal seat, and the relative adjustment of its diameter with that of the envelope (6) combined with the adjustment of the ballast (7) gives the overturning time of the device as well as its degree of nervousness and agitation. In the middle of the plate rises a conical shape (12) which acts as a deflector when the balls fall. We will also note the funnel shape of the chamber (1) or the slope (11) is adjusted so that when the device is agitated and stabilized, it promotes the rotatory movement of the balls over a longer or shorter time. - Figure 3 shows a second version of the device or the casing (6) coincides with the outline of the chambers (1) and (4) which are separated by a partition (10) pierced and with sloping faces (11) and ( 1 1 '). FIG. 4 represents a third version of the device where the two chambers (1) (4) combine the functions of mixing zone and reception zone by the fact that the assembly is manually reversible and that each chamber contains a tray with cells (8).
L'obturateur (5)dans cette version se situe au niveau de l'étranglementThe shutter (5) in this version is located at the throttle
(22) des chambres couplé avec un compteur électronique (23) pour le réglage des temps de jeu. - La figure 5 représente une des versions du dispositif monté sur une console (13). L'action de retournement s'opère autour de l'axe yy' solidaire d'un socle (15) dont l'horizontalité de l'ensemble est réglé par vis (14) et niveau à bulle (16).(22) of the chambers coupled with an electronic counter (23) for adjusting the playing times. - Figure 5 shows one of the versions of the device mounted on a console (13). The reversal action takes place around the axis yy 'secured to a base (15) whose horizontality of the assembly is adjusted by screws (14) and spirit level (16).
Afin de s'assurer que le hasard joue pleinement son rôle dans le jeu, le plateau alvéolé (8) est rendu tournant, soit manuellement par une molette (18), ou automatiquement par un moteur (21) lors du renversement.In order to ensure that chance fully plays its role in the game, the honeycomb plate (8) is made to rotate, either manually by a thumb wheel (18), or automatically by a motor (21) during overturning.
- La figure 6 représente un tablier de jeu (24) comprenant une grille 7x7.- Figure 6 shows a game board (24) comprising a 7x7 grid.
Le jeu détermine les coordonnées (XY) d'un point dans son plan avec la possibilité d'utiliser une troisième dimension pour les coordonnées d'un point R en (XYZ).The game determines the coordinates (XY) of a point in its plane with the possibility of using a third dimension for the coordinates of a point R in (XYZ).
Dans ces conditions, le dispositif comprend un plateau à 7 alvéoles et trois billes ; une rouge pour l'axe ox, une bleu pour l'axe oy, et une jaune pour l'axe oz. Dans l'exemple de jeu donné sur la figure, la bille rouge s'est positionnée dans l'alvéole 2, la bille bleu dans l'alvéole 3 et la jaune dans l'alvéole 6. Ainsi les coordonnées du point désigné est le point R. La probabilité d'obtenir un tel point dans notre exemple de jeu à trois axes est de 1 /7x7x7. Soit en moyenne une fois pour 343 jeux. Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à s'incorporer dans tout jeu comprenant habituellement des dès divers, dans des jeux de Casino, boule, roulette, couplés avec un tableau des mises, ou dans des jeux particuliers dont il est nécessaire de définir les coordonnées de points situés soit dans un plan X, Y, soit dans l'espace XYZ à partir d'un tablier de jeu (24). Under these conditions, the device comprises a tray with 7 cells and three balls; a red for the ox axis, a blue for the oy axis, and a yellow for the oz axis. In the example of game given in the figure, the red ball is positioned in the cell 2, the blue ball in the cell 3 and the yellow in the cell 6. So the coordinates of the designated point is the point R. The probability of obtaining such a point in our example of a three-axis game is 1 / 7x7x7. On average once for 343 games. The device according to the invention is particularly intended to be incorporated in any game usually comprising various dice, in Casino games, ball, roulette, coupled with a table of bets, or in particular games which it is necessary to define the coordinates of points located either in an X, Y plane, or in the XYZ space from a game board (24).
