Description

 The invention relates to devices for moving, in particular to devices for moving game elements, and can be used in games and toys.

 One of the closest analogs is a device for moving objects, mainly game elements of toys, containing a housing made of non-magnetic material, two permanent magnets placed inside the housing at its opposite ends, and a movable element mounted in the middle of the housing between the permanent magnets (EP 0627248 A2 (HORIUCHI, SHIGEYUKI), 12/07/94, A 63 H 33/26).

 A disadvantage of the known device is the limited scope of its application.

 The objective of the invention is the development of such a device that has a wider scope and a greater degree of gaming entertainment.

 This task is achieved in that the device for moving objects, mainly game elements of toys, contains a body of non-magnetic material, two permanent magnets made in the form of balls, each of which is mounted on a shaft equipped with a drive for turning it, and placed on opposite sides its ends, and a movable element made of ferromagnetic material and installed in the middle of the housing between the permanent magnets on the rails with the possibility of reciprocating Inside the enclosure.

 This task is also achieved by the fact that the displaceable element is made in the form of a cube or parallelepiped, the faces of which, facing the permanent magnets, have hemispherical recesses.

 This task is also achieved by the fact that a game element is fixed on the upper face of the movable element.

 This task is also achieved by the fact that the device is equipped with two additional game elements mounted on the ends of the upper face of the housing in the same plane as the game element mounted on the movable element.

 This task is also achieved by the fact that the game element mounted on the movable element is made in the form of a cat figure, and game elements mounted on the ends of the upper face of the body are made in the form of mouse and dog figures.

 This task is also achieved by the fact that the game elements are made in the form of figures of characters from Russian folk tales.

 This task is also achieved by the fact that the game element is made in the form of an arrow or a pointer, and a scale with digital symbols is applied on the upper edge of the body, in parallel with which the arrow or pointer moves when the moved element is moving.

 In FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a device in longitudinal section.

 In FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the device.

 In FIG. 3 is a plan view of an embodiment of a device with a scale.

 The device comprises a housing 1 of non-magnetic material, such as wood, polyethylene, etc., inside of which there are permanent magnets 2 and 3, made in the form of balls mounted on shafts 4 and 5 with the possibility of rotation from drives 6 and 7, made in in the form of wheels with spokes. In the housing, guides 8 and 9 are installed, made in the form of rods, the ends of which are fixed on the side walls of the housing 1, on the guides 8 and 9 there is a movable element 10 made of ferromagnetic material (permanent magnet) located between the permanent magnets 2 and 3. The movable element 10 made in the form of a cube or parallelepiped, the faces of which are facing the permanent magnets 2 and 3, have hemispherical recesses 11 and 12, respectively. On the upper platform of the movable element 10, a game element 13 is fixed, made, for example, in the form of a cat figure. A longitudinal slot 14 is made in the wall of the upper face of the casing, in which the game element 13 moves. At the ends of the upper face of the casing 1, additional game elements 15 and 16 are fixed, made, for example, in the form of mouse and dog figures, respectively. Game elements 13, 15 and 16 can be made in the form of figures of characters from Russian folk tales, for example, a bun, a fox and a bear, etc.

 Depicted in FIG. 3, the embodiment of the device (plan view) differs from the one described above in that the game element 13 is made in the form of an arrow or a pointer, and on the upper face of the housing parallel to the longitudinal slot 14, a scale 17 with digital symbols is applied.

 The device operates as follows.

 By rotating the drive of one or both of the permanent magnets 2 and 3, the player moves the movable element 10 with the game element 13 fixed thereon. The direction of movement of the element 10 and the speed of its movement depends on its position at each particular moment in time and on the direction of the magnetic fields of the permanent magnets 2 and 3, which changes when they rotate relative to the shafts 4 and 5. One of the possible game conditions when using the figures of a cat, mouse, and dog as game elements 13, 15 and 16, respectively, may be of playing for a certain period of time reaches to the maximum number of times the cat attacked the arm and the minimum number of times hit the dog's paw.

 In the case of the device in accordance with FIG. 3, the player spins both drive wheels 6 and 7 simultaneously, giving an impulse to the moveable element 10 with the arrow fixed on it, and removes his hands from the wheels 6 and 7. When the magnet system 2, 3 and 10 comes into equilibrium and the arrow is set against any or dividing the scale 17, it becomes clear how many points the player scored in this attempt.
