Description

y 1950 c. v. JENSEN 2,507,570
CHANCE DEVICE Filed June 18, 1947 "HAW/A M) JNVEN TOR. Qua Mum 01M yum Patented May 16, 1950 OFFICE CHAN CE DEVICE Carl Valdemar Peter Jensen, Solrud Strand, Denmark Application June 18, 1947, Serial No. 755,295 In Denmark February 2, 1939 Section 1, Public Law 690, August 8, 1946 Patent expires February 2, 1959 2 Claims. (Cl. 273-141) The present invention relates to improvements in roulettes, and the object of the invention is to provide means for producing a roulette that may be held in the hand during use, and thus does not require any special support as for instance a table.
The invention is mainly characterized by a flat preferably elongated body, each end portion of which has formed therein a bottle cap lifter, and through the centre of gravity of which body a transverse pin is rotatably mounted and provided with means so that it may be held between two fingers of one hand, said body and said means being provided with indications for indicating the relative position of the said members when at rest.
One manner of construction of a roulette according to the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a top elevation of the roulette and Fig. 2 a longitudinal section through the centre thereof.
The roulette comprises a flat elongated body I I made preferably of metal and provided with a transverse bore l2 through its centre of gravity. In this bore is inserted a rotation pin IS the protruding ends of which each have a, head 14 and 15 respectively. On either side of the body I I this pin carries a circular disc 16 and I 1 respectively disposed in close proximity to the body surface so as not to hinder the free relative rotation of the body H and the pin 43. The exterior surface of each disc is in the proposed embodiment provided with a number of ciphers l8 arranged in any desired sequence and separated by division lines. At a suitable place on each side of the body H is engraved an arrow I9 that points towards the disc I6 and I1 respectively.
The ends of the body H are apertured and each formed as symmetrically disposed bottle cap lifters 20 and 21 respectively.
When to be used the roulette is held for instance in the left hand by means of the thumb and index of one hand, the fingers engaging the heads I4 and I5 of the pin l3. With the other hand the edge of the body H is struck to cause it to revolve on the pin between the said fingers, the body having a length to allow it to revolve within the space allowed by the hand. When the revolving of the body ceases, the arrow l9 will point at one of the ciphers on the adjacent disc IE or I1. When not employed as a roulette, the device may be used for lifting bottle caps.
I declare that what I claim is:
l. A roulette comprising in combination an elongated fiat body; a rotation pin traversing the center of gravity of said flat body; a small disc member rigidly attached to each end portion of the rotation pin in close proximity to the faces of said body; and coactin indicating means applied to the discs and to the body surface, said flat body being so dimensioned that it may be revolved on the rotation pin between the forefinger and thumb of a human hand holding the device by means of said small discs.
2. A roulette comprising in combination an elongated flat body; a rotation pin traversing the center of gravity of said fiat body; a small disc member rigidly attached to each end portion of the rotation pin in close proximity to the faces of said body; and coacting indicating means applied to the discs and to the body surface, said flat body being so dimensioned that it may be revolved on the rotation pin within the space defined by the thumb finger and forefinger of a human hand when the ends of said rotation pin are gripped between the tips of said fingers.
