  An object of the present invention is to provide a playing card that includes a tactile identification unit that can identify the type of card even for a visually impaired person, and that can easily form the tactile identification unit.

As a means for solving the above problems, the present invention provides:
A symbol part composed of soot and rank is displayed on one side display surface, and a tactile identification part corresponding to the soot and rank is formed,
The tactile sensation identification unit includes a projecting portion made of a translucent material.

As a means for solving the above problems, the present invention provides:
A symbol part composed of soot and rank is visually displayed on one side display surface, and a tactile identification part corresponding to the soot and rank is formed,
The tactile sensation identification unit includes a protrusion having the same color as the background color of the position to be formed.

  With these configurations, even a visually handicapped person can identify the suit and rank of the playing card by the tactile sense identification unit formed of a protrusion formed on one side display surface. In addition, since the tactile sensation identification unit is composed of the same color as the translucent material or the background color, the visibility of the symbol part is not hindered. For this reason, a visually impaired person and a healthy person can enjoy the game by a playing card together.

  It is preferable that the symbol part and the background of the one-side display surface have a configuration that can be identified by a low vision person. In particular, the universal design is preferable.

  With this configuration, even a weakly sighted person can determine the difference in soot and rank without depending on the tactile sense identification unit. Moreover, it becomes possible to discriminate soot and rank more easily by using together with the tactile sense identification unit.

  The configuration that can be identified by the low-sighted person may be achieved by a difference in contrast.

  It is preferable that the symbol part includes a soot at a central part and a rank formed at at least one of diagonal positions.

  With this configuration, the design of the symbol part is simplified, and even a low vision person can easily discriminate.

  The number of the soot and the rank may be inconsistent.

  It is preferable that the tactile sensation identification unit is formed on the inner side of the peripheral region of the one-side display surface.

  According to this configuration, it is possible to prevent the opponent from touching the tactile sense recognition unit during the game and knowing the suit or rank.

  The protrusion that constitutes the tactile sensation identification unit can be composed of a plurality of protrusions.

  The protrusions constituting the tactile sensation identification unit may have a flat outer surface.

  The projecting portion constituting the tactile sensation identifying unit may have an outer surface formed of a curved surface.

  The protrusions constituting the tactile sensation identifying unit may be provided with undulations on the outer surface.

  The tactile sensation identifying unit preferably has a function as the rank depending on the number of soot identifying units corresponding to the soot.

  With this configuration, it is possible to simplify the configuration of the tactile sensation identification unit and facilitate discrimination by a visually impaired person.

  It is preferable that the tactile sensation identification unit further includes a rank identification unit indicating a specific number of the ranks.

  With this configuration, it is possible to further simplify the configuration and facilitate discrimination by a visually impaired person as compared with a configuration including only a soot identification unit.

The rank corresponds to a natural number from 1 to 13,
It is preferable that the rank identification part includes a number corresponding to the numeral 5.

  With this configuration, ranks 1 to 4 have no rank discriminator, 5 to 9 have one rank discriminator and the number of necessary soot discriminators, and 10 to 13 have two rank discriminators and a necessary soot discriminator. Each can be expressed as a number.

  The rank identifying portions are preferably formed on both side portions of the one-side display surface.

  With this configuration, the rank identification unit can be touched with a finger from either side of the one-side display surface, and discrimination during the card game can be easily performed.

  It is preferable that the rank identification part extends to both end sides along the side part of the one-side display surface.

  With this configuration, the rank identification unit can be easily touched not only from both sides of the one-side display surface but also from both ends.

  It is preferable that the size of the soot identification part is reduced as the number of soot identification parts formed on the one-side display surface increases.

  With this configuration, rank determination by the soot identification unit can be performed more easily.

  It is preferable to change the surface properties of the one-side display surface and the back surface on the opposite side.

  With this configuration, it is possible to discriminate between the front and back surfaces only by touching with a finger, and it is possible to avoid the problem that a visually impaired person erroneously shows a one-side display surface to a healthy person.

  According to the present invention, since the tactile identification unit having translucency is formed separately from the symbol part displayed on the one-side display surface, a healthy person and a visually impaired person can enjoy a card game together. it can.

It is a front view which shows the symbol part formed in the one side display surface of the playing card based on this embodiment. It is a front view which shows the tactile sense identification part formed in the one side display surface of FIG. (A) is a front view which shows the one side display surface of the playing card based on this embodiment, (b) is AA sectional view, (c) is BB sectional drawing. It is sectional drawing of the dispenser for forming the tactile sense identification part of FIG.

  Embodiments according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the following description is only illustrations essentially and does not intend restrict | limiting this invention, its application thing, or its use. Furthermore, the drawings are schematic, and the ratio of each dimension is different from the actual one.

  FIG. 1 shows a playing card 1 (only a symbol part 4 described later is displayed) according to the present embodiment. The playing card 1 has different surface properties between the one-side display surface 2 and the one-side back surface 3. Due to the difference in surface properties, the user can easily determine whether the surface is the one-side display surface 2 or the one-side back surface 3 by simply touching the playing card 1. In addition, as a method of making the surface property different, the material is changed on the front and back surfaces (for example, the surface is resin, the back surface is paper), the surface roughness is made different (for example, only the surface is embossed), or a combination thereof , Etc.

  A symbol part 4 and a tactile sense identification part 5 are formed on the one-side display surface 2.

  The symbol part 4 includes four types of suits 6 of “spade”, “club”, “diamond”, and “heart”, and “A”, “2”... “K (king)” 13 determined for each suit. It is a pattern consisting of rank 7. Here, the symbol part 4 is constituted by a white outline of a soot 6 having a general shape and a white outline of rank 7 composed of numbers 1 to 13, and the background part is displayed in a different color for each soot. . For example, the background color is black for “spade”, red for “heart”, blue for “club”, and yellow for “diamond”. In other words, the contrast between the background portion and the symbol portion 4 is strong, so that even a low vision person can clearly identify, and even a color blind person can identify four types of soot 6. Regardless of the difference in rank 7, only one soot 6 is displayed at the center, and rank 7 is displayed at one of the two diagonal positions. As a result, as can be seen in a normal playing card, soot 6 can be displayed larger than when soot 6 is displayed in the number of ranks 7. Therefore, the soot 6 can be easily identified even by a low vision person. As described above, the one-side display surface 2 has a universal design that can be identified even by a low vision person or a color blind person. However, the design itself is not limited to that shown in the drawings, and any configuration can be adopted as long as it can be identified by a normal person, a low vision person, and a color blind person.

  The tactile sensation identifying unit 5 includes a soot identifying unit 8 and a rank identifying unit 9 as shown in FIGS. The tactile identification unit 5 includes a plurality of protrusions 10 made of a translucent material (for example, a resin material such as epoxy, water glass (high-concentration sodium silicate aqueous solution), varnish, woodworking bond, etc.). ing. Various forms such as a hemispherical protrusion 11, a linear or curved ridge 12, or a planar portion 13 can be adopted for the protrusion 10. The hemispherical protrusions 11 may all have the same shape and be arranged at equal intervals. In the example of FIG. 3, a plurality of hemispherical (not necessarily hemispherical) protrusions 11 arranged on the same line extending to both ends along both sides of the playing card 1 are shown. In addition, the protrusion 11 has a dimension (height dimension, radius) that can be easily discriminated by touching it with a finger without causing a gap between the stacked playing cards 1 to be too large. (For example, 1 mm in diameter and 0.5 mm in height). Further, the tactile sensation identification unit 5 is formed on the inner side of the predetermined dimension from the outer edge of the playing card 1. This is to prevent touching the tactile identification unit 5 by mistake when touching the opponent's playing card 1 such as when playing with the playing card 1, so that the soot 6 and rank 7 are not known. . Here, the tactile sensation identifying unit 5 is formed inside a predetermined dimension (for example, an average value of the length of the adult index finger to the first joint, etc.) from the upper and lower short sides of the playing card 1 that is easy to touch in a card game or the like. I have to.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the tactile identification unit 5 formed on the one-side display surface 2.
Here, according to the difference of the soot 6, each soot identification part 8 is made into the following shapes. In other words, the “spade” is composed of a triangular part and a straight line part extending from the center part of the bottom surface, and has a simplified shape compared to a normal spade. The triangular part and the straight line part are configured to swell up as a whole. The “club” shown in FIG. 3A extends in three orthogonal directions, and as shown in FIG. 3B, the width dimension and thickness gradually increase toward the tip. As shown in (c), the entire three linear portions formed in an arc shape are formed so as to rise, and the shape is simpler than that of a normal club. The “diamond” has the same shape as a normal diamond and is composed of a plurality of protrusions protruding in a hemispherical shape. The “heart” is configured to surround a substantially heart shape obtained by cutting a part of a circle into a V shape by a plurality of hemispherical protrusions.

  As described above, the soot identification unit 8 has a simplified form except for “diamond”. Therefore, not only a congenital visually impaired person but also an acquired visually impaired person can be easily identified. In addition, the “diamond” is formed by a plurality of protrusions, and the “spade” is entirely raised, so that the feeling when touched with a finger is completely different. Therefore, the soot identification unit 8 of “diamond” and “spade” can be easily determined not only by the difference in the shape of the soot but also by the difference in touch when touched.

Moreover, according to the difference of the rank 7, each soot identification part 8 and the rank identification part 9 are comprised as follows.
Each soot identification unit 8 has a size that decreases as rank 7 increases from “1” to “4”, “6” to “9”, and “11 (J)” to “13 (K)”. “5” and “10” are the same as the smallest size. In addition, each soot identification unit 8 has one central portion at “1”, “6”, and “11 (J)”, and one side display surface 2 at “2”, “7”, and “12 (Q)”. 2 vertical locations on the vertical center line that bisect in the width direction (left and right), 3 locations on the vertical center line at “3”, “8”, and “13 (K)”, It is formed in two places (total of four places) on the horizontal center line and the vertical center line that bisect in the direction (up and down) and the width direction (left and right). Further, the other three soot identification parts 8 other than “diamond” have directionality. For example, in a spade (the same applies to hearts and clovers), the orientation with respect to the one-side display surface 2 is as shown in FIG. A first direction in which the straight portion is directed in one of the longitudinal directions (downward in the figure) (of the vertices of the triangular portion, the vertex located on the side opposite to the side on which the linear portion is formed is located on the upper side); The first direction is one of the second directions that are upside down.

  When the rank 7 is “1”, the soot identification portion 8 (of spade, hard and clover) is arranged at the center of the one-side display surface 2 so as to be in the first direction. When the rank 7 is “2”, the two soot identification portions 8 are arranged vertically symmetrically with respect to the horizontal center line on the vertical center line. In this case, in the other three soot identifying units 8 excluding “diamond”, the upper side is the first direction and the lower side is the second direction. When the rank 7 is “3”, the three soot discriminating sections 8 are arranged on the vertical center line, the one located in the middle is arranged in the center, and the one located up and down is arranged vertically symmetrically with respect to the horizontal center line. . In this case, the upper two soot identifying units 8 are in the first direction, and the lower one soot identifying unit 8 is in the second direction. When rank 7 is “4”, two of the four soot discriminating sections 8 are arranged vertically symmetrically with respect to the horizontal center line on the vertical center line, and the remaining two are symmetrical with respect to the vertical center line on the horizontal center line. Is arranged. In this case, the one located on the upper side and the left side is the first direction, and the one located on the lower side and the right side is the second direction.

  In rank “5”, rank identification portions 9 each formed by forming a plurality of hemispherical protrusions 11 on both end sides along both side portions of the one-side display surface 2 are formed. Each rank discriminating portion 9 has a space between the projections 11 at the center portion, and a soot discriminating portion 8 is formed there. In the other three soot discriminating units 8 excluding “diamond”, the left side is the first direction and the right side is the second direction. When the rank 7 is “6” to “9”, the rank identifying portions 9 are respectively formed on both sides of the one-side display surface 2, and the soot identifying portion 8 has the same rank 7 as “1” to “4”. A component having the structure is formed between the two rank identifying portions 9.

  When the rank 7 is “10”, the rank identifying portions 9 are formed in two rows along both sides of the one-side display surface 2, and the soot identifying portion 8 similar to the rank 7 is formed in the central portion. When the rank 7 is from “11 (J)” to “13 (K)”, the rank identifying portions 9 are formed in two rows along both sides of the one-side display surface 2, and the soot identifying portion 8 has the rank 7 described above. Are formed between both rank discriminating units 9 with the same configuration as “1” to “3”.

  Thus, when ranks 7 are “1” to “4”, identification is possible by the difference in the number of soot identifying units 8. In this case, the soot identifying unit 8 functions as the rank identifying unit 9. In “5” to “9”, in addition to the difference in the number of soot identifying portions 8, “5” is meant by the rank identifying portions 9 formed in one row along both side portions of the one-side display surface 2. The value obtained by adding the number of soot identifying units 8 formed inside the rank identifying unit 9 to 5 ”is rank 7. In “10” to “13 (K)”, the rank identifying portions 9 formed along both side portions of the one-side display surface 2 are arranged in two rows representing “10”. That is, rank 7 is indicated by a combination of the number of soot identifying portions 8 from “1” to “4” and the number of rank identifying portions 9 formed along both sides of one-side display surface 2. Therefore, it is possible to simplify the tactile sensation identifying unit 5 so that a visually impaired person can easily discriminate.

The protrusion 10 is formed by applying to the one-side display surface 2 with a dispenser 14.
As shown in FIG. 4, the dispenser 14 is a casing 15 in which a rotor 16, a stator 17, a power transmission mechanism 18, and the like are accommodated. The dispenser 14 is provided in a drive mechanism (not shown), and can move in the XYZ axial directions relative to a base (not shown) with the playing card 1 to be coated with resin placed on the base. It has become.

  The casing 15 is made of a cylindrical metal material. A first opening 19 is formed on one end side of the casing 15, and a second opening 20 is formed on the outer peripheral portion.

  The rotor 16 is a metal shaft, and is formed in a single-stage or multi-stage male screw shape with n-1 strips. Here, the rotor 16 is formed in the shape of a male screw eccentric with a single thread, and the cross-sectional shape is a substantially true circle.

  The stator 17 is made of rubber, resin or the like in a substantially cylindrical shape, and its inner peripheral surface is formed in a single-stage or multi-stage female screw shape with n strips. Here, the stator 17 is formed in a multistage female screw shape with two ridges, and the cross-sectional shape (opening shape) of the through hole is substantially oval.

  When the rotor 16 is inserted into the stator 17, the outer peripheral surface of the rotor 16 and the inner peripheral surface of the stator 17 are in close contact with each other at a tangent line therebetween, and a long distance is formed between the inner peripheral surface of the stator 17 and the outer peripheral surface of the rotor 16. A spiral fluid conveyance path 21 extending in the direction is formed.

  The power transmission mechanism 18 includes a coupling 22 and a coupling rod 23, and transmits a driving force of a driving machine (not shown) to the rotor 16.

  According to the dispenser 14 having the above-described configuration, the driver 16 is driven to rotate the rotor 16 forward and backward, thereby discharging the resin material melted through the first opening 19 by a desired amount one side of the playing card 1. A tactile sense recognition unit 5 can be formed on the display surface 2. For example, when the protrusion 10 is formed as the tactile identification part 5 on the one-side display surface 2, the protrusion 11 is not dripped when the rotation of the rotor 16 is stopped. For example, the rotor 16 may be continuously rotated while the dispenser 14 is moved. That is, any shape can be easily formed.

  According to the playing card 1 formed in this way, the surface properties of the front and back surfaces are different, and the one-side display surface 2 can be easily specified even by a visually impaired person. And the soot 6 and the rank 7 can be easily discriminated by the tactile sense recognition unit 5 formed there. In addition, since the combination of the symbol part 4 (suit 6 and rank 7) on the one-side display surface 2 and the background color is made easy to distinguish, not only a normal person but also a low vision person can be easily identified. . Therefore, even a visually impaired person who does not understand a healthy person, a weakly sighted person, Braille, etc. can easily understand and can enjoy a game using the playing card 1.

In addition, this invention is not limited to the structure described in the said embodiment, A various change is possible.
For example, in the above embodiment, the simplified soot 6 and rank 7 are formed on the one-side display surface 2 of the playing card 1, but instead of this, braille may be formed. In combination, braille can be formed.
In the embodiment, the outer surface of the planar portion 13 is configured as a flat surface, for example, as the tactile identification unit 5, but may be configured as a curved surface or provided with undulations such as “clover”. You can also
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the tactile sense identification part 5 was comprised with the material which has translucency, you may make it comprise with the same color as a background part. Even with this configuration, the tactile sensation identification unit 5 does not become an obstacle for identifying the symbol unit 4.
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the tactile sense identification part 5 was apply | coated to the one side display surface 2 of the playing card 1 using the dispenser 14, it does not necessarily need to form using the dispenser 14 of the said structure. . Further, the tactile sensation identifying unit 5 can be formed by other means such as molding, without depending on application.
