FR2575077A1 - Device for checking the results of games having the form of grids - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a device permitting overall and reliable checking of results of games having the form of grids. The device consists of a stationary flap comprising a corner bracket where the slips are inserted, a second flap connected to the preceding flap on its lateral part 1 on which two rails 2 have been moulded, enabling a second plastic sheet 3, of a size similar to that of a grid and printed indelibly with the characters of the game, to slide in order to check the results by means of transparency, a third covering flap equipped with a blotter on its inner face, and a small felt pen. The device according to the invention is intended for all players carrying slips with grids, in particular for the national lottery game.

Description

 The present invention relates to a device allowing rapid and reliable control of the results of games in the form of grids.

 Until now, players have controlled the results of the games by comparing point by point their own grids with the winning grid.

The players, for more assurance, sometimes carried out several verifications.

 The device according to the invention allows the overall control of each grid with better friability thereof. The system comes in the form of a portfolio comprising three components. The first flap, called fixed flap, is similar in size to the bul.letins possessed by players j it is used to keep the ballots from the front and in the direction of reading the fixed flap comprises, in the upper part, an elastic angle in which bulletins are inserted and by which they are retained.

 The second flap is connected to the fixed flap by its lateral part; it is made of transparent flexible plastic and covers, when folded, the entire fixed flap except the area occupied by the angle; on the outer surface of the second flap, two rails are traced lengthwise 3 these rails are made by molding on the plastic, have a T shape and they allow the control device to slide, the control device is made of a transparent flexible plastic sheet; slightly larger than the grid, and on which the characters of the game are indelibly printed (numbers, letters, signs, etc.) the plastic sheet containing the print of the characters of the game is attached on its upper and lower part with two plastic elements, allowing the control device to slide from one grid to another, and whose architecture adapts to the preceding rails so as to have only one degree of freedom of movement pl.an along the rails).

The third flap has an area identical to the fixed flap on which it is linked on the upper part, along the angle 3 in free rotation around this axis, the third flap can be made of slightly rigid plastic, similar to the fixed flap but having an internal side which is streaked. Finally a small felt pen is attached to the fixed part on its side part (opposite side to the fixed shutter - second shutter link). The player, during the results, by checking the winning characters beforehand, will thus be able to control each grid by sliding the winning grid on the blotted side then will allow him to erase the results, the device being ready for use for a next game.

 According to a variant (nO 1), the three components are capable of being movable about the same axis.

 According to another variant (nO 2), the sliding control device can be connected to the assembly only on its upper part and slide along the angle iron by means of a small rod.

 According to a last variant (No. 3), the rails can be traced in the direction of the width of the sheet constituting the second flap (if the game requires it).

 Figure 1 shows, front view, the second component with its control device.

 FIG. 2 shows an exploded perspective view of the entire device, taking account of variants 1 and 2.

 The second flap shown in Figure 1 is connected to the fixed flap on its side part (1). Two rails (2) are cut on this transparent plastic sheet 3 they allow the control device (3) to slide by means of two elements (4) adapted to the preceding rails. Figure 1 shows the control device at two different positions. On the part designated by 3, are printed the characters of the game.

 FIG. 2 shows the device according to the invention with the variants nO let 2 in exploded perspective. In this form, the reading device (9) is simply connected to a rod (10) at the edge of the angle iron (8). During the control, the player, having kept his ballots in the fixed section (5), must first cover them with the second section (6) and then with the plastic control sheet (9) having noted the results using the small felt (11).

 The device according to the invention is intended for all its players carrying grid bulletins (national lottery in particular).

Claims (5)

RESENDWCATIONS 1) Device for controlling the results of games in the form of grids comprising a fixed flap (5), making it possible to store the ballots therein under an angle iron (8), on which a second plastic flap (6) is articulated flexible transparent, a sliding device (9) for transparency control consisting of a plastic sheet comprising the indelible printing of the characters of the game, a third flap (7) whose internal face has been blotted and finally d '' a small felt pen (11) used for marking the results. 2) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the control of the results is effected by transparency using a transparent plastic sheet guided by two rails (2) molded on the second flap. 3) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the control of the results is effected by transparency using a plastic sheet sliding along a rod (10) attached to the angle. 4) Device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the three components are articulated around the same axis of rotation. 5) Device according to claims 1, 2 and 3 characterized in that the three components can be articulated around axes of rotation perpen diculair.
