Abstract

Luminous, translucent box device for a game comprising a coloured squared board and coloured pieces. The invention relates to a device permitting the subtractive synthesis of the colours for the purposes of play and/or learning. It consists of a box 1 surmounted by a coloured squared board 2 intended for coloured pieces 8. The box 1 contains the electrical apparatus, composed of sockets 3 mounted on angle brackets 4, of a choke 5, of a ballast 6, and of a fluorescent tube 7 illuminating the squared board.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de boîtier lumi
neux et translucide pour un jeu comportant un damier et des pions
colorés.The present invention relates to a lumi box device
clear and translucent for a game with a checkerboard and pawns
colored.

I1 n'existe à ce jour aucun jeu faisant appel à la synthèse
des couleurs, du fait de l'ambiguité de la reconnaissance de ces
couleurs. En effet, la synthèse soustractive obtenue par super-
position de deux couleurs transparentes sur un fond blanc réné-
chissant, donne deux résultats différents selon l'ordre de super
position de ces couleurs.To date there is no game calling on synthesis
colors, due to the ambiguity of the recognition of these
colors. Indeed, the subtractive synthesis obtained by super-
position of two transparent colors on a white background
chissant, gives two different results according to the order of super
position of these colors.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet incon
vénient, par l'introduction d'une source lumineuse artificielle
directe permettant d'obtenir par superposition des couleurs dans
un ordre quelconque la synthèse homogène et équilibrée de ces
couleurs.The device according to the invention overcomes this inconvenience.
comes, by the introduction of an artificial light source
direct to obtain by superimposing colors in
any order the homogeneous and balanced synthesis of these
colors.

I1 comporte un bottier contenant l'appareillage électrique composé d'un tube fluorescent, d'un ballast, d'un starter,de deux douilles, et les fils électriques permettant leur branchement. I1 comprises a case containing the electrical equipment composed of a fluorescent tube, a ballast, a choke, two sockets, and the electrical wires allowing their connection.

Le bottier est surmonté d'une plaque translucide sur laquelle est imprimé le damier coloré. Les pions sont en matière transparente et sont colorés. Les couleurs utilisées sont : Jaune, Magenta, Cyan.The bootmaker is surmounted by a translucent plate on which the colored checkerboard is printed. The pawns are made of transparent material and are colored. The colors used are: Yellow, Magenta, Cyan.

Le dispositif lumineux a pour effet de créer les conditions
d'une bonne perception des couleurs et du changement de couleur
des pions lors de leurs déplacements sur les cases du damier.The effect of the light device is to create the conditions
good color perception and color change
pawns when they move on the checkerboard spaces.

Cette perception clairement différenciée des couleurs est essen
tielle pour bien saisir toutes les possibilités de jeu.This clearly differentiated perception of colors is essential.
to fully grasp all of the game possibilities.

Afin d'obtenir la meilleure répartition de la lumière, le tube
fluorescent est disposé au centre du bottier, dans ltun de ses
axes médians.In order to obtain the best light distribution, the tube
fluorescent is placed in the center of the shoemaker, in one of its
median axes.

Conçu comme jeu de table, le bottier doit avoir une hauteur
réduite, et pour cela les douilles sont positionnées sur le socle
du boîtier à l'aide de deux équerres permettant de surbaisser le
tube fluorescent, afin d'éviter une trop forte concentration de
la lumière au centre du damier.Designed as a table game, the bootmaker must have a height
reduced, and for this the sockets are positioned on the base
the housing using two brackets to lower the
fluorescent tube, to avoid too high a concentration of
the light in the center of the checkerboard.

Le ballast et le starter sont positionnés sur un des bords
intérieurs du boîtier parallèlement au tube fluorescent,afin d'
éviter des ombres sur le damier.The ballast and the choke are positioned on one of the edges
interior of the housing parallel to the fluorescent tube, in order to
avoid shadows on the checkerboard.

Pour différencier les pions , la moitié d'entre eux sont percés
d'un trou central.To differentiate the pawns, half of them are drilled
from a central hole.

Le damier et les pions sont colorés superficiellement ou dans
la masse. The checkerboard and the pawns are colored superficially or in
the mass.
