Abstract

313,495. Fraisse, L. G. June 12, 1928, [Convention date]. Board games.-A games board is composed of four flat boxes so hinged that one pair may be folded over the other pair, the apertures of the boxes coinciding, and then a second fold may be made in a plane at right angles to the first fold, thus causing the boxes to be superimposed one above the other. Fastenings are provided to maintain the boxes in the superimposed position. The boxes may be marked on one face with squares and on the other with the markings used in playing backgammon, and the pieces used in playing the various games may be stored in the boxes. Two of the boxes a, b, Figs. 4 and 5, are hinged to the other two c, d, by hinges e in a plane A A. The boxes a, b, are also hinged to each other by hinges f in the plane B - B. The arrangement is such as to allow the boxes to be folded first about the hinges e in the plane A - A, as shown in Fig. 3, and then about the hinges f in the plane B - B as shown in Fig. 1. The boxes are retained in this closed position by fastenings b', b<5>, c<5>, d<5>.
