Description

PERFECTED DOMINO DESCRIPTION OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to; as its title indicates a perfected domino that includes chips provided, on its back or sides, of a pointing device that identifies the corresponding chips to each player, and a device used to carry out its storage and transfer identification, in such a way that Players can repeat the same game with the same distribution as in the previous game.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Everyone knows the game of dominoes, which has twenty-eight cards comprising all combinations of pairs of scores, between double zero and double six, and usually represented by points on its front. Apart from being easy, other figures have been adapted in other conceptions for their learning in the world of children. The characteristics of the game consist in that it is carried out with two opposing pairs who have to get each of them to place the maximum possible of their coinciding cards at the ends of the row, and at the same time prevent the opposing couple from placing theirs. The disadvantage with which the players find themselves in the dominoes championships, is that there is not a procedure of game that is impartial, since the chance is the one that until now has been in charge to distribute the cards in each game to each player , not allowing to compare the level between them. In the case of playing a championship, and this is type "poolA" that is to say that all the participating tables play the same groups of chips, distributed in the same disposition, there is the disadvantage that at the end of a game it is not possible to locate the chips For each player, unless their values are written on a piece of paper, sometimes, even if a championship is not played, it is also necessary to distribute games with the same distribution of chips, either to improve the score or to make comparisons or small competitions between different players The placement of the chips at the time of starting the game is also an inconvenience to be taken into account, since they must stand on the game table without being visible by the rest of the players. Another drawback, which occurs at the end of the game, is the nuisance involved in the placement of the ÜHl ^^^ j all the fibers inside the traditional box.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The dominoes proposed by the invention have been conceived and structured in order to solve this problem, since it provides for the possibility that all domino players, for example, in a championship, have in each game the same chips, and distributed in the same arrangement as the four previous players, that is, the four players that make up the game, identified for example as north-south-east-west (NSEO), (1-2-3- 4), (red-green-yellow-blue), etc ..., receive the same seven chips that their predecessors have received, thus eliminating the detrimental effect of chance in the competition and being able to establish a fairer comparison between all the participants . This is achieved by identifying the chips of each one of them on the back or side, so that once the game is over, the chips of each one are recovered, locating the signal that has been arranged for example in the first distribution, being able to return to play the same game or establish predetermined combinations a priori. The device for the storage, transfer and identification of the cards, has the elements • • • • • ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• each of the four players, once the dominoes have been identified, you can organize your location in each of the cases. To allow the identification of the cards contained in each case, it has been foreseen that these can present windows or transparencies in which the marks of the cards can be seen, or each one of the cases can be identified by letters, signs, numbers, colors , etc. In this way, if we indicate each player as north-south-east-west (or blue-green-yellow-red, etc.), each group of seven cards is located respectively. Each of these four cases, in which seven pieces must be placed, can be constructed in a material that reveals only the reverse of the cards to see if they correspond to those previously marked, or it can be made of opaque material, so that each one identifies one of the four players. It should also be noted that the disposition of the cards is the correct one, that is, that all the hidden scores are shown, for example, the lateral ones that show the two identifying colors of the t &ataat ^ .¡.at .. - * »3 &Mk (& ^ b- i front and back of the same.) These four cases can also be placed inside a box or tray for the transfer or storage of the complete game of dominoes, as well as the storage of them.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, the present description is accompanied, as an integral part of the same, a set of drawings in which illustrative and not limitative, the following has been represented: Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the back of a domino with a type of circular signage. Figure 2. - Shows a detail in plan of the assembly represented in the previous figure. Figure 3. - Shows the back of a domino, from which a portion is detached. Figure 4 shows the back of a domino to which holes have been made. Figure 5. - Shows the back of a domino with a slot through which a tab slides. Figure 6. - Shows the perspective of the case that < * l? it > ?? & ^^^. ^^^^ J? ^^^^^^ »^^^ contains seven dominoes. Figure 7 shows a perspective view of a case with windows. Figure 8. - Shows a case in which a reference on its exterior can be seen. Figure 9. - Shows a case in which a reference can be seen on the outside. Figures 10 and 11.- They show two boxes containing the four cases of dominoes.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION In view of these figures, it can be observed how the dominoes that are recommended are structured from the traditional cards, on the back and / or sides of which are provided signaling devices with the four possible alternatives for its identification, so that with a simple movement of rotation, sliding or turning, it can be identified. Figure 1 shows a domino token (1) in which an inner disc (2) has been adapted to rotate on an axis (3) that starts from the same pin located on its front. This disc has recorded four possible positions (N) - [S] [- (E) - (O) so that in its turn, some of them coincide with a signal established for that purpose or appear in the window. ^^^^ j, ^, ^ It can be envisaged, as arranged in Figure 3, that a portion (4) of the token, in this case half of the surface of the back can be detached from the set, so that each of the four possible positions or 5 possibilities of placement identifies each of the four cardinal points represented by their initials or by numbers, letters or other signs or colors. In Figures 4 and 5, there are shown other of the infinite possibilities of marking such as a slot (7) in the case of Figure 5, in which a tab (8) slides, or as in Figure 4, holes (6) waiting for them to be occupied by identification plugs. All of them can have a fifth neutral identification place to use in cases where there is no its signaling is of interest. Figure 6 shows a case (9) without cover, as a tray, where the seven chips (1) are located so that their back, and therefore the means of identifying them, are visible. Figure 7 shows a case (9) with openings (10) that allow to visualize the identification marks of the cards (1) placed inside it. The case (9) shown in Figure 8, is opaque and can not distinguish between the front, rear, or the sides of the dominoes (1) stored in the yK ^^ MU ^^ n ^ AAA ^ M ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The color of the same can be identified from which of the four cases it is. From one side (12) of the case (9) it can be seen if the chips are well placed, that is, with the reverse 5 upwards. The purpose of the tray (13) is to place a complete domino for transfer or storage, and can be designed for the placement of the cases (9) in quincunx, as shown in Figure 9, or laterally as shown in Figure 10. They can also be placed in boxes (14), stacking the cases (9) inside, as seen in Figure 11. The cases (9) can be arranged upright, serving to support the chips during the game, either 15 separately or by tilting through one of its edges on the tray. These cases (9) can be placed in the boxes (14) or the trays (13), or be integral to them, by means of tongue-and-groove devices or the like. It is not considered necessary to make this description more extensive so that any expert in the field understands the scope of the invention and the advantages that derive from it. The materials, shape, size and arrangement of the 25 elements will be subject to variation as long as this does not suppose an alteration of the essence of the invention. The terms in which this report is written should always be taken in a broad and non-limiting sense. gfifl ^^? ií • '"- ^ - * ~ 4 ?? ~ * Jß- *. *. su¡ &l? lss¡s
