DESCRIPTION

MOVABLE GIANT GAME PIECES ON BOARDS

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention is designed to facilitate outdoor play for children and adults on a giant flat board or surface. To do this, each of the pieces, preferably chess pieces, has a plurality of ball wheels on the bottom that allow players to move them on the surface of a giant board easily and comfortably.

The field of application of the invention falls within the sector of manufacturing and marketing games with giant pieces on boards, specifically giant chess pieces.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Those commonly known as giant board games are those that are played on a giant flat board or surface and have giant pieces of different colors and shapes, which are specially designed as outdoor games.

Giant board games are suitable for players of all kinds of ages and are very popular in schools, hotels, country houses and leisure companies; since due to their large size, these giant games allow players and close people to continue the game. These types of games also favor creating outdoor moments between children and adults, at the same time that everyone enjoys and learns by playing. However, it is noted that the main drawback of giant table games is the weight that a user has to move throughout the game. Stressing that this inconvenience is aggravated when the player (s) are children.

From the state of the art a large variety of records related to pieces for giant board games emerge, among which we highlight the record of the utility model U 8701470 entitled "Chess game", where a type of giant chess pieces is disclosed equipped with an upper handle, which facilitates their transport, in addition to having each of these giant chips of anchoring means on the ground on the board when they are not used.In this registry, we can see that the inconvenience of moving the The aforementioned giant tiles are attempted to be solved by the incorporation of a superior grip. That is why the aforementioned record describes a type of superior grip, by means of which a player lifts the chess piece to the desired position on the board .

Therefore, with the movable giant game pieces object of the present invention, the drawbacks presented to date are solved differently, since each of the pieces of the invention has a plurality of ball wheels that allow players to move each of the pieces on the surface of a board easily and comfortably; avoiding at all times having to lift the piece by weight, as presented in the disclosed document U 8701470 and previously cited.

Thus, and in light of the foregoing, with the giant game pieces that can be moved on boards of the invention, one goes one step further in the manufacturing of giant pieces, particularly in chess pieces, since by means of A defined configuration produces a type of giant game pieces different and improved from what has been known so far in this sector.

The following is a detailed description of the invention that completes these general ideas introduced at this point.

INVENTION DESCRIPTION

The giant game pieces moveable on boards or giant flat surfaces are each made up of a plurality of ball wheels, which allow the movement of each one comfortably during a game. Specifying that the present invention is specially focused for the game of chess.

Each of these giant pieces are preferably made of rubber, regardless of whether the game pieces are chess pieces, checkers, or the like. That is why, regardless of the giant piece in question, it has a weight proportional to its size, contour and shape.

During a game, users or players must move the tiles in order to win the game. That is why, to favor this movement on the surface of a board or giant flat surface, each of the pieces that make up the game has on its base a plurality of ball wheels.

Each of these ball wheels is made of hard material and resistant to inclement weather, that is why the ball wheels that have the moving parts of the invention can be made of plastic, metal, or a mixture of both materials. Although it is believed convenient to emphasize that preferably these ball wheels are made of plastic material.

On the other hand, the preferential distribution of the balls on the base of each set are arranged close to the perimeter of the base of the piece. So as a whole, its distribution on the basis of a chess piece is circular around its base. The fixing of each of the ball wheels to the base of each of the giant pieces is preferably carried out through a lower recess located at the base of the piece; and in this case, under each of the pieces there are as many cavities as there are ball wheels. Also in this case, the introduction of each one of the ball wheels is made by tightening so that each of these balls is secured and embedded in the base of the giant piece.

On the other hand, the fixing of the plurality of ball wheels to the base of the giant game piece can also be through mechanical means such as screws or the like.

Finally, indicate that each of these ball wheels is formed by a casing, a plurality of bearings and a rolling ball, this rolling ball being the part that is in direct contact with the board or flat surface during its movement.

To complete the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is accompanied as an integral part of the same, where the following has been represented by way of illustration and not limitation:

Figure 1 is an elevation view of a giant movable game piece of the invention, showing a chess piece called a pawn.

Figure 2 is a representation of the base of the giant game piece of the invention, according to Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a free perspective and bottom view representation of the chess piece according to Figure 1.

Figure 3A is a representation of the detail of one of the rolling balls of the chess piece, according to Figure 3.

Figure 4 is a representation of a longitudinal section DD made to the chess piece according to figure 1.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

As seen in each of Figures 1 to 4, a movable giant board game piece corresponding to a chess piece (1) called a pawn is shown.

As can be seen in the aforementioned figures, this chess piece (1) has inserted on its base a plurality of ball wheels (2).

Each of these ball wheels (2) is made of hard material and resistant to inclement weather, that is why these ball wheels (2) can be made of plastic, metal, or a mixture of both materials. Although it is believed convenient to emphasize that the ball wheels (2) that make up the part (1) of the invention are preferably of plastic material.

On the other hand, in figure 4, the fixing of one of the ball wheels (2) that the piece (1) has at its base is shown schematically, in which it is shown that the union between the chess piece (1) and the ball wheel (2) is made by tightening through a lower recess (11) located at the base of the part (1). So, each one of these ball wheels (2) is jointly secured and embedded in the base of the giant chess piece (1) through said lower hole (11) located in the base of the piece ( one). Furthermore, it is considered convenient to specify that each one of the ball wheels (2) is made up of a casing, a plurality of bearings and a rolling ball, this rolling ball being the part or element that is in direct contact with the board or surface flat when part (1) is in use position (not shown).

Therefore, with the movable giant game pieces object of the present invention, the giant table games are easy to move since each one of the pieces (1) of the invention has a plurality of ball wheels (2), which allow players to move each of the pieces (1) on the surface of a board easily and comfortably, avoiding at all times having to lift the piece (1) by weight.
