Abstract

The track has an edge constituted of flexible and transparent tube i.e. circular section (1), assembled by a male type connection (2) i.e. stick such as pen, and supported on a horizontal plate, where the edge is fixed on the plate. The connection has a section higher than an inner section of the tube, and the stick formed by a section slightly lower than that of the tube, where a length of the stick is six times an inner diameter of the tube. The edge has holes through which tabs are forced, where distance between the holes is different from that of tabs, when the edge is not fixed.

Description

]L La présente invention concerne une réalisation de piste de dés à jouerThe present invention relates to a realization of a dice track to play

accompagnant en particulier des jeux de société tels que jeux de plateau et de pions. Le plus souvent, de tels jeux de société sont vendus sans piste de dés.  particularly accompanying board games such as board games and pawns. Most often, such board games are sold without a dice track.

Il peut arriver que le dé tombe par terre ou que un dé renverse un pion . Les pistes de dés séparées sont relativement onéreuses et encombrantes. Elles sont en général constituées d'une plage horizontale ceinturée par un rebord rigide vertical fixé à ou solidaire de la plage sur toute sa longueur. Il arrive parfois que le dé ne rebondisse pas sur le rebord lorsqu'il frappe celui-ci et repose en partie sur le rebord, le tirage n'étant pas alors exploitable. Elles sont uniformes et non personnalisables. La présente invention remédie à ces inconvénients. La piste de dés à jouer comporte un rebord constitué de tuyau souple lisse bouclé de section circulaire, assemblé au moyen de raccord(s), reposant sur une plage horizontale sur laquelle il est simplement posé ou à laquelle il est au plus fixé en quelques endroits ponctuels. Ainsi, l'élasticité radiale et longitudinale du tuyau favorise-t-elle le rebond, le tuyau pouvant en dehors des points de fixation éventuels se déformer et se déplacer lorsqu'il est frappé par un dé. Le tuyau étant lisse, le dé glisse facilement sur celui-ci. De part sa section circulaire, le tuyau a sa partie basse en surplomb de la plage horizontale, le dé éventuellement au contact de la partie basse du rebord s'écartant de celle-ci jusqu'à reposer par une de ses faces sur la plage horizontale. Le tuyau est par exemple en PVC transparent. Le rebord est constitué de un ou plusieurs tronçons de tuyau bouclé ou assemblé au moyen de raccords. La plage horizontale peut être par exemple la table, sur laquelle est pratiqué le jeu et sur laquelle le rebord est simplement posé, ou le plateau de jeu ou l'emballage du jeu auquel le rebord peut être fixé en un nombre limité de points. Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention : La figure 1 montre l'assemblage de deux tronçons de tuyau au moyen de deux raccords bâtonnet La figure 2 montre un raccord d'assemblage de tuyau avec emboîtement à force. La figure 3 montre un raccord d'assemblage de tuyau avec emboîtement à 35 force avec un dispositif de fixation à la plage horizontale. La figure 4 montre un emballage d,e jeu avec dispositif de fixation pour le rebord. En référence à ces dessins, l'invention comporte un ou plusieurs tronçons de tuyau (1) mis en boucle au moyen du même nombre de 40 raccords (2) . Les raccords sont du type mâle.  It can happen that the dice fall to the ground or that a die overturns a pawn. Separate dice tracks are relatively expensive and cumbersome. They generally consist of a horizontal range surrounded by a rigid vertical rim fixed to or integral with the beach over its entire length. Sometimes the dice do not rebound on the edge when it hits the edge and rests partly on the edge, the draw is not then exploitable. They are uniform and not customizable. The present invention overcomes these disadvantages. The playing dice track has a rim consisting of a smooth looped flexible pipe of circular section, assembled by means of connection (s), resting on a horizontal range on which it is simply placed or to which it is at most fixed in a few places punctual. Thus, the radial and longitudinal elasticity of the pipe promotes rebound, the pipe may be outside the possible attachment points to deform and move when struck by a die. The pipe being smooth, the die slides easily on it. Due to its circular section, the pipe has its lower part overhanging the horizontal range, the die possibly in contact with the lower part of the flange away from it to rest by one of its faces on the horizontal range . The pipe is for example transparent PVC. The flange consists of one or more sections of pipe looped or assembled by means of fittings. The horizontal range may be for example the table, on which the game is practiced and on which the rim is simply placed, or the game board or game package to which the rim can be fixed in a limited number of points. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: FIG. 1 shows the assembly of two pipe sections by means of two rod connectors FIG. 2 shows a pipe fitting connection with force fitting. Figure 3 shows a pipe fitting connection with a force fit with a horizontal strip fastener. Figure 4 shows a package of play with fastening device for the rim. With reference to these drawings, the invention comprises one or more pipe sections (1) looped by means of the same number of 40 connectors (2). The fittings are of the male type.

2908320 2 Dans un premier mode de réalisation, le (les) raccord (2) de la figure 1 sont de simples bâtonnets, par exemple crayons de section un peu plus petite que la section interne du tuyau. L'assemblage est néanmoins stable en raison de l'élasticité du tuyau qui prend une forme différente de sa 5 forme naturelle et ce pourvu que le bâtonnet soit assez long, par exemple au moins six fois le diamètre intérieur du tuyau. Le tuyau est transparent et le bâtonnet comporte une inscription. L'inscription peut être faite sur une étiquette adhésive enroulée sur le bâtonnet. Le (les) tuyau (x) se déforme (nt) librement en dehors du (des) bâtonnets . Le rebord ainsi 10 formé est simplement posé sur une plage horizontale. Différentes formes de rebord sont possibles selon le nombre et les longueurs des tuyaux et. des bâtonnets. Dans un deuxième mode de réalisation, le raccord (2) de la figure 2 a une section (3) d' emboîtement légèrement supérieure à la section 15 intérieure du tuyau ; il peut comporter une collerette (6) de diamètre sensiblement égal au diamètre extérieur du tuyau (1) ; le rebord formé avec un tuyau et un raccord a par exemple une forme circulaire, mais il est possible d'obtenir d'autres formes, par exemple en ayant sur le raccord un prolongement (7) de section inférieure à la section intérieure du tuyau 20 Dans un troisième mode de réalisation, le raccord (2) figure 3 a une section (3) d'emboîtement légèrement supérieure à la section intérieure du tuyau; il comporte une collerette (6), de diamètre sensiblement égal au diamètre extérieur du tuyau (1), sur laquelle est fixé un téton (4) au bout d'une tige (5) .Le rebord est par exemple formé de 25 deux tuyaux et de deux raccords ; 11 prend par exemple une forme sensiblement circulaire. La figure 4 montre un plateau ou emballage de jeu, par exemple mallette dont une face(9), disposée horizontalement comporte deux trous (8)dans lesquels s'enfoncent les tétons (4) des raccords ; la longueur de la tige (5) est légèrement supérieure à l'épaisseur 30 de la face (9) .La distance entre les trous (8) est différente de celle entre les tétons des raccords lorsque le rebord n'est pas fixé, de sorte qu'il faut soit écarter soit resserrer les deux raccords pour en introduire les tétons dans les trous. Par exemple, l'orientation des trous de la figure 4 correspond à une distance entre les trous supérieure à celle entre les raccords qu'il faut alors écarter. Ainsi le rebord se trouve-t-il fixé à une face de plateau ou d'emballage constituant la plage horizontale (9) le tuyau prenant une forme par exemple ovale et libre en dehors des deux points de fixation. Il est facile également de l'en retirer, pour le ranger par exemple à l'intérieur de l'emballage. D'autres formes que celles représentées sur les figures 3 et 4 sont possibles pour les tétons (4) et les trous (8).In a first embodiment, the (the) connection (2) of Figure 1 are simple rods, for example pencils section a little smaller than the internal section of the pipe. The assembly is nevertheless stable because of the elasticity of the pipe which takes a shape different from its natural shape and provided that the rod is long enough, for example at least six times the inside diameter of the pipe. The pipe is transparent and the stick has an inscription. The inscription can be made on an adhesive label wound on the stick. The pipe (s) deforms freely outside the rod (s). The rim thus formed is simply placed on a horizontal surface. Various flange shapes are possible depending on the number and lengths of the pipes and. sticks. In a second embodiment, the connector (2) of Fig. 2 has a fitting section (3) slightly larger than the inner section of the pipe; it may comprise a flange (6) of diameter substantially equal to the outside diameter of the pipe (1); the flange formed with a pipe and a coupling has for example a circular shape, but it is possible to obtain other shapes, for example having on the fitting an extension (7) of lower section to the inner section of the pipe 20 In a third embodiment, the coupling (2) FIG. 3 has a fitting section (3) slightly greater than the internal section of the pipe; it comprises a flange (6), of diameter substantially equal to the outside diameter of the pipe (1), on which is fixed a pin (4) at the end of a rod (5) .The flange is for example formed of two pipes and two fittings; For example, it takes a substantially circular shape. Figure 4 shows a tray or play package, for example case whose one face (9) disposed horizontally comprises two holes (8) in which sink the nipples (4) of the connectors; the length of the rod (5) is slightly greater than the thickness of the face (9) .The distance between the holes (8) is different from that between the nipples of the connectors when the rim is not fixed, of so that it is necessary to either remove or tighten the two connections to introduce the nipples in the holes. For example, the orientation of the holes in Figure 4 corresponds to a distance between the holes greater than that between the connections which must then be discarded. Thus the flange is attached to a tray or packaging face constituting the horizontal range (9) the pipe taking a shape for example oval and free outside the two attachment points. It is also easy to remove it, to store for example inside the package. Other shapes than those shown in Figures 3 and 4 are possible for the nipples (4) and the holes (8).
