Abstract

The dice device (0) comprises a hollow transparent plastic or glass cylinder (1) which has a plane bottom section (3) and an opaque lid (4), accommodates dice (2a, 2b) and is provided with obstacle bars (6) for the dices between the bottom section and the lid.

Description

The invention relates to a device or a device for throwing dice and so that with it dice game can also be played anywhere without a level throwing surface for ejecting the dice can.

It is known that in a conventional Playing with dice such as. "Man! - Do not be upset ! "a dice in shaken a mug, So mixed, and on a flat throwing pad e.g. a table ejected. The dice must be played over and over again by hand in the cup for the next Game can be done so that the manipulation of the game die by skillful players can be made. It can also happen that in the event of a violent throw of the dice flown down far from the table, making it unnecessary to search and thus a game interruption is started.

It is also from GM DE 296 06 681 known that there is one or more in a transparent hollow "top cube" dice are included so that they are thrown with the throw of the top die and cannot be lost.

The invention is based on the task that when playing with dice a machine for throwing the dice is constructed in such a way that the dice mix and throw themselves, without being lost.

This object is achieved according to the invention solves that because device from an elongated cylindrical container exists, which has a bottom and a lid, so that that are in the device dice are hermetically sealed. The container is made of plastic, Glass or plexiglass and is divided into two parts: The a section at the end of which the lid is not transparent, the other section, at the end of which is the floor is transparent, so when the device is on the floor, the dice lie on the bottom of the container and through which players can be seen. In the elongated cylindrical container there are several obstacles between the lid and the bottom, so when the device by 180 ° is turned by hand at the top, i.e. when the bottom is up, fall the game dice as a result of gravity on the lid, they must go through and against the built-in obstacles fall through, so that they themselves Mix. If the dice are on the lid, they can through which players are not seen. To the game dice too throw the device now rotated again by 180 ° so that the game dice have to fall from the lid into the floor, they fall again through and against the obstacles so that they come together again mix yourself. After this process, ie "throwing", the dice are on the Bottom of the container, so can they are seen by the players and advertised as usual.

5th embodiment

10 shows the drawing of a gaming table - edition ( 15 ) for a game of two dice that contains all the rules and chances of a roulette game.

There are three of the functional model Images have been taken.

Picture 1 shows a table device in normal Condition: the floor is facing down and the dice are in place itself in the transparent area (II) of the container and can thus be seen.

Figure 2 shows a table-top device turned 180 ° Condition: The floor is facing up and the dice are in place itself in the non-transparent area (I} of the container and are therefore not to see.

Figure 3 shows the side view of the tabletop device in normal condition.

The 1st embodiment ( 1 ) shows the longitudinal section of a device ( 0 ) with a cylindrical container ( 1 ) in which the dice ( 2a . 2 B ) on the flat floor ( 3 ) are located. Of course, the container ( 1 ) have a different polygon cross-section such as square, rectangle, hexagon, etc. Through the lid ( 4 ) are the game dice ( 2a . 2 B ) in the container ( 1 ) hermetically enclosed by the environment and therefore cannot be dropped or ejected. The lid ( 4 ) can be done by gluing or screwing or simply by plugging in, for the purpose of exchanging and filling in dice ( 2a . 2 B ), with the container ( 1 ) are firmly connected. The container ( 1 ) is made of plastic or glass or plexiglass and is divided into two sections (I) and (II). The section (I) at the end of which the cover ( 4 ) is not transparent, so if the dice ( 2a . 2 B ) are in this section (I), which cannot be seen by the players. The section (II), at the end of which the floor ( 3 ) is transparent so that when the dice ( 2a . 2 B ) on the flat floor ( 3 ), the dice are visible so that the players can see what figures / color or eyes / number have been "thrown". As usual, the figures / color or eyes / number above are clearly read and advertised.

In order to mix the dice without being able to shake, the container ( 1 ) between the floor ( 3 ) and the lid ( 4 ) several obstacles ( 5 ) on. These can be in the form of cross bars ( 5a ) are designed, which are arranged at a certain distance X and an angle Y offset from each other, so that the dice can fall through and against them from top to bottom due to gravity. The crossbars ( 5a ) are with the container ( 1 ) in the holes ( 6 ) firmly connected by gluing, for example. If the container ( 1 ) so that the floor ( 3 ) facing down are the game dice ( 2a . 2 B ) to see clearly. The vertical container ( 1 ) turned 180 degrees upwards so that the cover ( 4 ) points downwards, with the dice ( 2a . 2 B ) due to gravity from the ground ( 3 ) in the lid ( 4 ) fall. The dice hit ( 2a . 2 B ) the crossbars arranged as the obstacles ( 5a ) ( 2 ), which are at a certain distance and offset by 90 degrees to each other. When passing through these obstacles, the game dice ( 2a . 2 B ) "shaken" by itself, i.e. mixed. There are noises until the game dice ( 2a . 2 B } on the flat lid ( 4 ) land. The dice ( 2a . 2 B ) are now in the invisible section (I) and cannot be seen by the players ( 2 ). To dampen the noise, the crossbars ( 5a ) consist of damping material or they are covered with a damping plastic layer ( 18 ) envelops. And the floor ( 3 ) and the lid ( 4 ) are in the area where the dice ( 2a . 2 B ) with a noise-absorbing layer ( 20 ) respectively. ( 21 ) to provide a felt or leather layer, for example. Now when "throwing" the container ( 1 ) again by 180 degrees so that the bottom ( 3 ) points down again. The dice hit ( 2a . 2 B ) back on the crossbars ( 5a ) as obstacles and are mixed again. After a while, the dice go through ( 2a . 2 B ) the crossbars ( 5a ) and land on the floor ( 3 ) and in the transparent area (II) of the container ( 1 ). Now the "thrown" figures / color or eyes / number can be clearly read and advertised as usual.

In this way, the dice ( 2a . 2 B ) are thrown without being thrown onto the game table and have to be filled into the cups again by hand when the next throw is made so that the game dice ( 2a . 2 B ) can also be mixed well without shaking, that on the game dice ( 2a . 2 B ) no manipulation can be carried out, and that with this device or device the dice game can be played anywhere on the go, for example in the car, on the train and on the plane, etc., because there is no longer any need for a throwing pad.

The whole thing forms a technical unit, which can be called a throwing device or throwing device for dice ,

The 2nd embodiment ( 3 ) shows a device ( 0a ), a variant of the 1st version. In this version, the cover ( 4a ) so that it covers the opaque area (I) of the container ( 1a ) represents. The lid encloses ( 4a ) the container ( 1a ) so that the crossbars acting as the obstacles ( 5b ) are secured in their positions even without gluing. The crossbars ( 5b ) remain in the holes ( 6b ) can rotate freely. Here one operation is the sticky work of the crossbars ( 5b ) to the container ( 1a } saved.

The 3rd embodiment ( 5 ) shows a device ( 0b ) with a variant of the obstacles ( 5c ), which are two equal sloping surfaces ( 7a . 7b ) exhibit. The obstacles ( 5e ) are glued to the inside of the container ( 22 ) with the container ( 1b ) connected and arranged so that the dice ( 2a . 2 B ) from one obstacle to the other over the sloping surfaces ( 7a . 7b ) always fall through from top to bottom when the container ( 1b ) is rotated by 180 degrees.

( 6 ) shows the cross section bb of the ( 5 ), the container ( 1b ) has a square cross section. To dampen the noise, the obstacles ( 5c ) are made of soft, damping plastic.

In the above embodiments, the container ( 1 . 1a . 1b ) can be turned by hand by 180 degrees and held by hand. The 4th embodiment ( 7 ) shows a version of a tabletop device ( 8th ). In this version, the container ( 1c ) of a device ( 0c ) on the vertical column ( 9 ) a stand ( 10 ) rotatable over the Axis ( 11 ) which is selected so that the container ( 1c ) is always vertical when at rest, so that the floor ( 3c ) always points downwards. The axis ( 11 ) is through the nuts ( 14 ) firmly with the column ( 9 ) connected and through the mother ( 14a ) the rotatable container ( 1c ) against falling out of the axis ( 11 ) secured with the axis ( 11 ) corresponding thread for the nuts ( 14 . 14a ) having.

When playing, the container ( 1c ) turned 180 degrees upwards so that it touches the stop ( 12 ) comes to a standstill ( 9 ). The dice ( 2a . 2 B ) fall on the lid due to gravity ( 4c ). They pass through the crossbars ( 5d ) and are therefore mixed. If the container rotated in this way ( 1c ) released from this position, it falls down due to storage. The container ( 1c ) the stop ( 13 ) and then stands vertically. The dice ( 2a . 2 B ) fall from top to bottom and are again pushed through the crossbars ( 5c ) mixed until the dice ( 2a . 2 B ) on the ground ( 3c ) land. Through the transparent area (Π) the figures / colors or eyes / numbers that were thrown can now be read and advertised by the players.

The attacks ( 12 ) and ( 13 ) have threads and are e.g. screwed through the nuts ( 14b ) with the column ( 9 ) firmly connected and can be equipped with damping elements ( 19a . 19b ) eg foam to catch the container ( 1c ) are provided so that less noise can be generated.

The 5th embodiment shows that by a combination of a 6 color and an eye or with 6 numbers providing game dice a gamble with all the rules and chances of a roulette game with little effort can be created.

In a test sample of a table top device ( 8th ) with two dice, one with colors (yellow, green black, red "blue and white) and one with ordinary eyes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) or one with numbers from 1 to 6, was found, that the chance for a combination like yellow / 1 or red / 2 etc. is 1 in 36 (6 x 6) like in roulette. Also the simple chance like even / odd number or the first three colors (yellow, green, black) and the last three colors (red, blue, white) is 1: 1. In comparison to roulette, the test pattern lacks the number 0 (zero). For a test sample with a cylindrical container ( 1 ) with an inside diameter of 50 mm and a length of 200 mm, the cross bars with 5 mm diameter, which are at a distance of 25 mm and offset by 90 degrees to each other, and two dice with 15 mm edge length were found that with 100 throws At least 4 times the two dice were on top of each other, i.e. not a clear combination of color and number, so that the two dice lying on top of each other can be assumed to be 0, i.e. zero. So with a tabletop device ( 8th ) This way, a game of chance can be played with all the rules of a roulette. The advantages are that such tabletop devices ( 8th ) are easy to construct. Precise storage of the rotary boiler is no longer necessary. In addition, the game dice are not touched by the croupier, so that manipulation of the game dice is excluded. The only disadvantage of the tabletop device ( 8th ) is that if one of the dice is wrong, that is not clear. The throw can then be declared invalid and then repeated. From time to time it is also observed that the cubes hang on the crossbars from time to time. The cubes can be released by tapping the lid lightly. And if the space required for a table device ( 8th ) is not available, the container ( 1c ) off the axis ( 11 ) can be removed so that the container ( 1c ) can be turned back and forth by hand by 180 degrees.

( 10 ) shows the table support ( 15 ) gambling with a tabletop device ( 8th ). This is described as follows: As in roulette, the playing field is divided into 36 fields (3 columns and 12 rows) and a zero field. The basic color of the field is magenta. Instead of a number from 1 to 36, each field contains a color / number combination, eg 6 yellow fields: G1 (yellow / 1) to G6 (yellow / 6); 6 green fields: Gr / 1 (green / 1) to Gr / 6 (green / 6); 6 black spaces: S / 1 (black / 1) to S / 6 (black / 6); 6 red fields: R / 1 (red / 1) to R / 6 (red / 6); 6 blue fields: B / 1 (blue / 1) to B / 6 (blue / 6) and 6 white fields: W / 1 (white) to W / 6 (white / 6). The field zero is shown from the top above the yellow fields. The three fields for dozen play (columns) for the bets are entered from the foot side under the white fields.

The fields (1,3,5) for odd numbers and (2,4,6) for even numbers are shown on the left. On a line ( 16a respectively. 16b ) To the left of these two fields, the bets, i.e. tokens, can initially be withheld by the bank if the two dice are on top of each other (zero). On the top and bottom of these fields there are three fields for the numbers combination (1/2), (3/4) and (5/6) or (1/4), (2/5), (3rd / 6) drawn on the right, the fields (G (yellow), Gr (green), S (black)) and (R (red), B (blue), W (white)) are drawn. On a line ( 17a respectively. 17b ) to the right of these two fields, the bets, i.e. tokens, can initially be withheld by the bank if the two dice are on top of each other (zero). On the bottom of these fields are three fields for the color combination yellow / green (G / Gr) for the first 12 fields, black / red (S / R) for the middle 12 fields and blue / white (B / W) for the last 12 fields, just like on the head side, three fields are drawn for the color combination yellow / red (B / R), black / white (B / W) and green / blue (Gr / B) for dozen games.

The winnings are similar to roulette opportunities described as follows:

• - (a) Easy chance (1: 1): the chips are on one of the odd ones Eyes / number (1,3,5) or straight eyes / number (2,4,6) for one color (Yellow-green, Black) or (red, blue, white) set.
• - (b) Dozen - chance (1: 3): (b1) The tokens are placed on the fields opposite the field Zero set. (Column game).  (B2) the first dozen: yellow or green (G / Gr) The middle dozen: black or red (S / R) The last dozen: Blue or white (B / W) (B3) the combination of numbers (1/2); (3/4); or (5/6). (b4) the combination of numbers (1/4); (2/5); or (3/6) (b5) the color combination yellow / red (G / R); Black and white (B / W) or green / blue (Gr / B)
• - (c) Simple - chance (1: 6): The tokens are placed on the corner where the 6 combination includes.
• - (d) Carre - opportunity (1: 9): The tokens are on the cutting line of the 4 combination set.
• - (e) Transversal - opportunity (1:12): The chips are placed on three combinations in a row.
• - (f) Cheval - chance (1:18): The tokens are placed on the line between two fields.
• - (g) Plein - chance (1:36): The tokens are placed in the field of a combination.

Because the dice are relatively small, you can the advertisement mechanically by means of rotary cards, plug-in cards or electronically by light indicator during of a game permanently supported so that all players also notice the advertisement optically can.

The advantages of this invention exist then:

• - that the cube cup and the dice form a closed unit, i.e. a device, so that the ejection and filling the cube in the cube cup does not apply
• - that the dice cannot be lost
• - that when mixing and "throwing" the dice Device only by 180 ° rotation can be turned up or down without the game dice shaken Need to become.
• - that the dice cannot be manipulated or exchanged by the player,
• - that playing the dice without throwing pad e.g. a table can be played so that a dice game played everywhere can be e.g. on the way in the car,
• - that with little technical effort a game of chance with all the rules and Chances of a roulette can be realized.
