FR2622122A2 - Improvement to a game of the type comprising means including encoded data which are not directly accessible to a player and means for decoding these data - Google Patents

Abstract

This game, including a support structure equipped with cavities of different depths, on which is arranged a playing sheet bearing a general layout (subject) of at least one game and including perforations opposite cavities of the support structure, determining playing positions corresponding to the general layout (subject) of the game, and a sensor which can be displaced over the said playing sheet between the various playing positions, including means for evaluating the depth of the cavities corresponding to the playing positions and means for converting the depth of these cavities into data which can be perceived by a player, is characterised in that the means of evaluation comprise at least two evaluation rods 10 to 16 and in that the conversion means comprise at least two panels 3 to 9 bearing the data which can be perceived by the player, connected to the evaluation rods and which can be displaced by the latter in front of at least one window 2 of the sensor 1 between different positions.

Description

 A game has been described in the main patent application, characterized in that it comprises a support structure provided with cells of different depths and on which is disposed a game sheet bearing a theme of at least one game and comprising perforations , facing cells of the support structure and determining play positions corresponding to the theme of the game, and a sensor that can be placed on said play sheet in the different play positions, and comprising means for evaluating the depth of at least one cell corresponding to a playing position and means for converting the depth of this cell into information perceptible to a player.

 Different embodiments of the sensor have been described in this application. So for example.

the sensor can be in the form of a character under the feet of which project two rods for evaluating the depth of the cells, connected to a panel carrying information perceptible by a player and movable in front of a window of the character by said rods.

 The sensor can also be in the form of any object such as a tower from the bottom of which projects a rod for evaluating the depth of the cells, this rod being connected to a panel carrying information perceptible by a player and movable by the rod in front of a window of 1 object.

 The purpose of this certificate of addition is to propose another embodiment of the sensor forming part of the set described in the main patent application.

 To this end, 1 invention relates to a game according to any one of claims 1 to 10 of the main patent, characterized in that the means for evaluating the depth of the cells comprise at least two evaluation rods adapted to cooperate with two corresponding cells and in that the conversion means comprise at least two panels carrying information perceptible by a player, each connected to an evaluation rod and movable by this in front of at least one sensor window between different corresponding positions at different depths of the alveoli.

 Advantageously, the information carried by the panels is combined with one another to form complex information perceptible to a player, depending on the depth of the corresponding cells.

The invention will be better understood with the aid of the description which follows, given solely by way of example and made with reference to the appended drawings, in which
FIG. 1 represents a perspective view of a sensor according to the invention: and
- Figure 2 shows a detail view showing evaluation rods and panels forming part of a sensor according to the invention.

 As can be seen in Figure 1, a sensor 1 according to the present invention comprises at least one window 2 in front of which are movably mounted panels. for example seven in number, referenced respectively from 3 to 9. These panels are mounted movable between different positions, depending on the depth of the cells, by means of rods for evaluating the depth of these cells, respectively referenced from 10 to 16.

 These rods are adapted to cooperate with, for example, seven cells corresponding to a playing position to form complex information perceptible to the player. The information superimposed on the panels 3 to 9 can for example be constituted by numbers, as shown, or by letters making it possible to form an information word corresponding to a position of the game.

 As can be seen more clearly in FIG. 2, the rods, for example 10 and 11, make it possible to move the panels, for example 3 and 4, between several positions corresponding to different depths of the cells to bring up different information. This makes it possible to increase the coding and decoding capacities of the game according to the invention by using the depth of two or more of two cells corresponding to a game position.

It goes without saying that the panels constituting the conversion means can carry information other than numbers or letters, for example colors.

Claims (2)

 1. Game according to any one of claims 1 to 10 of the main patent, characterized in that the means for evaluating the depth of the cells comprise at least two evaluation rods (10 to 16) adapted to cooperate with two cells corresponding and in that the conversion means comprise at least two panels t3 to 9) carrying information perceptible by a player, each connected to an evaluation rod, and movable by the latter in front of at least one window (2) of the sensor (1) between different positions corresponding to the different depths of the cells.  2. Game according to claim 1, characterized in that the information carried by the two panels combine with each other to form complex information perceptible by a player, depending on the depth of the corresponding cells.
