Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for a solitaire game and a method for its production.
  • Solitaire games have long been known with a wide variety of game ideas and game structures.
  • a first group of these known solitaire games has a purely aleatory character, i.e. the course of the game depends solely on chance.
  • a second group of solitaire games depends solely on the skill or intelligence of the player. This means that aleatory effects are irrelevant.
  • a third group of solitaire games offers a combination of aleatory effects with possibilities of influencing, which are dependent on the skill and / or intelligence of the player.
  • the method according to the invention for producing the toy body is the subject of claim 20.
  • the device according to the invention for a solitaire game has a first body made of opaque material, which is penetrated by channels which are connected to one another. Furthermore, a second body is provided, which is movable within these channels, and at least a first opening is provided for introducing the second body into one of the channels of the first body, and a second opening, which in one embodiment of the invention may also be identical to the first opening through which the second body can emerge from these channels again.
  • the second body is preferably a ball.
  • shape the second body differently from a spherical shape, for example as a cylinder, as a smaller one Cubes or the like.
  • an essentially point-symmetrical polyhedron shape is particularly preferred, in which the second body has a multiplicity of flat surfaces, which are preferably arranged such that their corner points at which two side edges of a surface are located cut, have a ball as a common envelope.
  • Such a polyhedron or polyhedron can, like a ball, carry out a restricted rolling movement.
  • the second body is generally referred to as a ball in the following.
  • this designation is intended to include the other shapes mentioned and is in no way to be understood as a restriction for the shape of this body in any of the exemplary embodiments discussed.
  • the idea of the game therefore provides that the ball is inserted into the first opening and then moved within the channels of the body by movement of the first body in such a way that it exits to the second opening.
  • the first body is made of a non-translucent material, it is not possible for the player to visually follow the course of the ball. He can therefore try to move the first body back and forth in such a way that the ball only moves randomly within the channels until it emerges again at the second opening. However, he can also follow the movement of the ball inside the body acoustically and through the contact of his fingers with the first body and, through various movement patterns to which the first body is subjected, check how the ball moves within the body and can conclude from this check on the position and arrangement of the respective channel in which the ball is currently located. The game thus loses its purely aleatory character and is influenced by the sensory perception and the intelligence of the player.
  • the course of at least some channels can be recognized by the surface structure of the body, so that the player can, by clever consideration, recognize how the ball must run within the channels in order to move away from the first to get to the second opening.
  • the game is a pure intelligence game, which is largely free of aleatory influences.
  • the game can thus completely change its character, depending on the personality of the player and also the design of the first body.
  • Another significant advantage of the device according to the invention for a solitaire game is that it can be manufactured in very different degrees of difficulty. Depending on the location and arrangement of the channels, the game solution can be varied from very simple to very difficult.
  • solitaire game can be made visually very appealing.
  • the solitaire game can be made of wood and, in a preferred embodiment, which will be explained later, can be glued from several layers. In conjunction with a wooden or metal ball, this creates a toy that does not contain any artificial materials.
  • the first body of the solitaire game can be made of natural stone, for example marble, granite or the like, a material which is made from a rigid binder, for example made of plastic, also being offered here for reasons of simple manufacture. is in which corresponding natural stone particles, such as marble and the like, are provided, which give the first body the overall appearance of a natural stone.
  • the first body can also be made of metal, for example stainless steel or the like, or else of plastic, in which case an injection molding process is then preferably used.
  • the first body can consist of one piece.
  • the channels are preferably introduced into the first body by drilling, the holes then being closed, so that the desired channel system results, through which the ball must be passed.
  • the sealing can be carried out in such a way that the bores are visible, so that the course of the channels can then be recognized.
  • the closure can also take place in such a way that the bores are subsequently not visible. This can be done, for example, by fitting closure pieces that are no longer visible in the finished product or by covering them, for example with a varnish or the like.
  • the first body is particularly preferred to assemble the first body from several individual parts.
  • the first body is sandwiched together from several layers, preferably from three or more layers. This makes it possible to drill holes in the middle sandwich parts which are not visible from the outside even without special covering measures.
  • the first body can take any shape.
  • the configuration as a cube or as a cuboid is particularly preferred.
  • the method according to the invention provides for the first body to be produced by boring a largely homogeneous body, that is to say having no channels or the like, and assembling it with further parts in such a way that these bores are at least partially closed.
  • a unitary body can be provided with bores which either penetrate into the body or pass through completely, which, if they pass through, are at least partially covered with sealing plugs.
  • the holes intersect at positions within the body, creating a channel system in which a ball can roll from hole to hole.
  • An embodiment of the method according to the invention is particularly preferred in which the body consists of several parts. These parts are drilled or milled so that the desired channel system results when the parts are assembled.
  • one part By varying several or, particularly preferably, only one part, different difficulties of the game task can be realized. It is also possible for one part to be movable relative to the other part is to design the first body so that game tasks with different levels of difficulty can be realized with one and the same first body.

  • the first opening 4 and the second opening 5 are connected by a channel system which is denoted overall by 7 and which, like the other exemplary embodiments, is preferably cylindrical.

  • the ball 2 If the ball 2 is inserted into the opening 4 or into the opening 5, it can be caused to roll along the channels by appropriately tilting the first body. As a result, the ball can be transferred from one channel to the other in such a way that it finally exits to the other opening. It is also conceivable to influence the ball by means of a magnet, in which case the ball must of course contain iron.
  • the body 1 consists of a non-transparent material, it is not possible for the player to visually follow the course of the ball. However, on one side he can hear the ball rolling in the channel and he can finally use his fingers to observe the vibrations caused by the rolling ball in the cube, thereby concluding the position and arrangement of the channels.
  • individual channels are passed through the cube, ie bores are provided which begin on an outer surface of the cube 11
