Abstract

Folding and configurable game board that characterizes because it consists of a set of flat pieces (1), sheets preferably stamped in very thin sheet metal, or any other light and resistant material, synthetic, plastic or natural, and especially rigid to assemble a surface that safely supports the uniformity of the structure and that guarantees a minimum volume (2) in its passive or folding phases being all the parts of the surface, usually four identical pieces (1), or two, three, five, six or more pieces, in which all are joined together by means of an articulation member (3), such as a simple rivet, which serves as a means of holding the pieces together without impeding the turn around of the neck (4) of said rivet and being compressed by the flanges (5) and (6) thereof, which prevent its dismantling.

Description

Folding and configurable game board.

Object of the invention

The invention aims at a board for desktop games that have the particularity of being able to fold to occupy a minimum space in its state of rest or in situation of disuse and the spread or unfold by a few simple articulation means that hold them together both in their phases active as passive; both in its folded phases as deployed

The invention provides a configurable set in various regular geometric surfaces maintaining, or without vary, the means that make your passive phases possible or active.

The invention allows configuring or assembling boards regular in the form of a crosshead with straight or curvilinear arms, uniform boards of square, rectangular surfaces, rhombic, circular or other showing any game option; composed of two, three, four, five, six or more parts.

Background of the invention

The inventor himself has different models related to products of this nature among which we can place the U ES 1040169Y "Detachable game board", which is a modular board that is assembled on an element common to said modules U ES 1040170Y "Folding and separable board", which It is an articulated board that is reduced to a single block. U ES 1049681 "Modular member for the development of boards set ". U ES 1059954" Modular element for the construction of playing surfaces ".

Description of the invention

The invention consists of a set of pieces flat, sheets preferably stamped in very little sheet thick or in any other lightweight and resistant, synthetic material, plastic or natural and especially rigid to assemble a surface that safely supports the uniformity of the structure during the development of the game and that guarantees a minimum of volume in its passive or folding phases.

Another fundamental detail of the invention is that all the integral parts of the surface, usually four identical pieces, but which can be two, three, five, six or more, you are all linked together through a member of articulation, such that a simple rivet, which acts as hold the pieces together without preventing rotation around the neck of said rivet and be compressed by the flanges of this, which prevent disassembly.

Another detail of the invention is that the pieces flat that integrate the surface or game board consist of each one by one of its vertices of a drill or hole that is the step common for the rivet of union and twist for the folding / unfolding of the surface or game board, placing the pieces in a position superimposed on which the holes for the rivet match.

The pieces of the invention have regular shapes both to assemble surfaces or boards in crosshead or complete, the which in the first case are mixed pieces that have a part rectangular and another triangular, equivalent to a finished quadrant in a circular vertex with the corresponding hole or hole for the rivet In which, the rectangular part can be straight or circular to form crosshead boards with straight or curved arms. In another they can be straight or curved triangular to form square or circular boards with the same solution at the vertex and, in others where the piece is shaped like a square or rectangle with equal solution in any one of its vertices to form square or rectangular boards.

A broader idea of the characteristics of the We will make the invention below, referring to the sheets of the drawings that are attached here, so somewhat schematic and only by way of example, representing the preferred and vital details of the invention.

Preferred embodiment of the invention

The preferred embodiment of the invention comes represented in the different illustrations of the drawings that It consists of a set of flat pieces (1) (fig. 5 and 6), sheets preferably stamped in very thin sheet metal, or in any other lightweight and resistant material, synthetic, plastic or natural and especially rigid to build a surface that safely support the uniformity of the structure during the game development and that guarantees a minimum volume (2) in its passive or folding phases.

All the integral parts of the surface, usually four identical pieces (1); (two, three, five, six or more pieces) in which all are joined together by means of an articulation member (3), such that a simple rivet, which serves as the parts together without impeding the rotation around the neck (4) of said rivet and be compressed by the flanges (5) and (6) of this, which prevent their disassembly.

The flat pieces (1) that make up the surface or game board (7), (7A) (Figures 2 and 4), each consisting of one of its vertices (8) of a drill or hole (9) that is the step common for the joint and turn rivet (3) for the folding / unfolding the surface or board (7), (7A) of play, placing the pieces in an overlapping position in which, the rivet holes match.

The pieces of the invention have regular shapes both to assemble surfaces or crosshead boards (7), (7A) or closed, complete (7.0), which in the first case are pieces mixed that has a rectangular part (10) and a triangular part (11), equivalent to a quadrant finished in a circular vertex (8) with the  corresponding hole or hole (9) for the rivet in which, the rectangular part, can be straight (10) or circular (10A) to form crosshead boards with straight arms (7) or curved (7A). In other that can be straight triangular (10B) (Fig. 7) or curved (10C) (Fig. 10) to form square (7.0) or circular boards (7.1) with the same solution at the vertex and, in others where the piece It is shaped like a square (10D) (Fig. 8) or a rectangle (10E) (Fig. 9) with equal solution in any one of its vertices to form square (7.2) or rectangular (7.3) boards.

Once nature is conveniently described of the invention is recorded for the appropriate purposes, that the same It is not limited to the exact details of this exhibition, but that on the contrary, it will introduce the modifications that are they consider appropriate, provided that the characteristics are not altered Essentials thereof, which are claimed below.

Claims (3)

1. Folding and configurable game board that characterizes because it consists of a set of flat pieces (1), sheets preferably stamped in very thin sheet, or in any other light and resistant material, synthetic, plastic or natural, and especially rigid to assemble a surface that safely supports the uniformity of the structure and that guarantees a minimum of volume (2) in its passive or folded phases being all the integral parts of the surface, usually four identical pieces (1), or two, three, five, six or more pieces, in which all are joined together by means of an articulation member (3), such that a simple rivet, which serves as a time to hold the pieces together without impeding the rotation around of the neck (4) of said rivet and be compressed by the flanges (5) and (6) of this, which prevent its disassembly. 2.
