Definitions

  • the present invention relates to board games such as chess, checkers, goose, etc ... and relates more particularly to a storage box containing the pieces (pawns, dice to play, cards .. .) and the boards (circuits, checkerboard ...) of one or more of the said games.
  • a storage box for board games conventionally consists of two symmetrical parts hinged together on one side of the box to define in the closed position called storage - in which the two parts are folded against each other - a box containing the play pieces and, in the open, so-called use position - in which the two parts are in the same plane and in the extension of one another - at least one plate on which the above-mentioned pieces evolve Game.
  • the box for card games described and represented in French Patent No. 1,338,492, includes a bottom pierced with holes centered on each card game in order to allow the passage of a finger which will release the games from their box.
  • Another box described and represented in French patents No. 1,384,773 and No. 2,383,583, has the inner face of its two symmetrical parts, covered with a magnetic metal. Thus, the game pieces are held by magnetization, on said inner faces.
  • Another box, the subject of French Patent No. 2,258,880, comprises above the external face of each of its two symmetrical articulated parts, a sliding rectangular plate, removable and reversible, each side of which forms half a set so that in the open position for use, the underside of the cabinet offers the choice between two sets depending on the visible face of the two sliding plates which become adjacent to form an entire set.
  • the box of the invention for storing board games, adopting the general form of a book and comprising two symmetrical articulated parts is remarkable in that said box is composed of two separable elements male and female.
  • the male element is constituted by the projecting part formed in the back of the book and the female element is constituted by the two symmetrical articulated parts forming the cabinet and which, in the closed position, delimit, on the articulation side of said cabinet, an opening in which fits a projecting part of the male element to maintain said book in the closed position.
  • the presence of the projecting part of the male element in said opening prevents the degree of freedom of the articulation of the two symmetrical parts of the female element, which is thus maintained in the closed position.
  • the movements of the projecting part of the male element, inside the opening of the female element are ensured by a guide device consisting of slides and cooperating grooves between them and preformed, facing each other, on the two external lateral faces for the projecting part of the male element and on the two internal lateral faces for the female element.
  • a guide device consisting of slides and cooperating grooves between them and preformed, facing each other, on the two external lateral faces for the projecting part of the male element and on the two internal lateral faces for the female element.
  • the aforementioned slides are preformed on the two external lateral faces of the projecting part of the male element and the said grooves are formed in the two internal lateral faces of the female element. It is understood that the engagement of the slides in the grooves guides the sliding movements of the projecting part of the element. male inside the female element while ensuring better reliability of the book closing device in the closed position.
  • the projecting part of the male element of the bookcase and intended to penetrate into the female element is hollow to allow the storage of game pieces.
  • the box 1, shown in the open position in the drawing of FIG. 1, consists of two symmetrical parts 1a and 1b arranged in the extension of one another and in the same plane to define on their adjacent internal faces, a checkerboard 2 forming a game of checkers or chess.
  • This game board 2 is surrounded, on the two outer edges of the two symmetrical parts 1a and 1b, of raised housings 2a and 2b which are each closed by a plate, referenced respectively 3a and 3b and slidingly mounted above said housings.
  • These housings 2a and 2b make it possible to store or tidy up game pieces such as pawns for a game of checkers.
  • the two symmetrical parts 1a and 1b articulated on a hinge side 4 by means of two hinges 4a and 4b, are folded against one another , the two housings 2a and 2b facing each other.
  • the two symmetrical parts 1a and 1b define, in the closed position of the box 1, on the articulation side 4, a rectangular opening 5 into which the protruding part 6a fits male element 6, suitable for penetrate into said opening 5.
  • the purpose of introducing the protruding part 6a of the male element 6 into the opening 5 is to keep the two symmetrical parts 1a and 1b pressed against each other and therefore lock them in this position.
  • the two hinges 4a and 4b are arranged. on either side of said opening 5 so as not to obstruct the passage of the projecting part 6a in the opening 5 while being inapparent, and whether the bookcase is in the open or closed position.
  • the hinges 4a and 4b are found upside down on the playing surface 2 and when the box is in the closed position (see Figure 3), they are camouflaged by the border 6b which, forming the back of the male element 6 by surrounding the projecting part 6a, is pressed against the contours (comprising the two hinges 4a and 4b) of the opening 5 of the box 1.
  • the two male and female elements nested one inside the other give the appearance of a delivered.
  • the interior of the protruding part 6a of the male element 6 of the bookcase is provided with a longitudinal groove 7 in which is fitted a game plane 8 which can be positioned on the game board 2 formed by the two adjacent inner faces of the two symmetrical parts 1a and 1b in the open position (cf. FIG. 1).
  • This game plan 8 which is asymmetrically foldable on itself so that it can be easily inserted inside the box 1 when the latter is in the closed position, makes it possible to multiply the playing possibilities of said box.
  • the projecting part 6a of the element 6 is hollow to allow the storage of other more cumbersome game pieces (card games, chess pieces, etc.).
  • this projecting part 6a is larger, as illustrated in FIG. 5, it can possibly receive other objects larger than game pieces, in particular if the box is used as a display (jewelry, bottles, stereophonic and video cassettes ).
  • the translational movements (arrow F) of the projecting part 6a of the element inside the opening 5 of the box 1 are provided by a guide device.
  • this guide device is made up of a set of two guide wings 9a and 9b cooperating with two pairs of grooves 10a and 10b during the operation of fitting the projecting part 6a into the opening 5 drawn in the side of articulation 4 of the cabinet 1.
  • the two pairs of slides 9a and 9b are preformed on each of the two external lateral faces of the part 6a and the two pairs of grooves 10a and lOb are formed in the two internal lateral faces of the cabinet 1.
  • the two grooves of each pair are formed in each of the two symmetrical parts 1a and 1b. It is understood that the two pairs of slides and the two pairs of grooves, cooperating with each other, ensure better guidance of the part 6a of the male element 6 in the opening 5 of the cabinet 1 and also allow better locking of said cabinet in closed position. In fact, when the box 1 is in the closed position and the projecting part 6a being inserted inside, the presence of the slides 9a and 9b engaged inside the grooves 10a and 10b over the entire length of the latter, corresponding substantially to the width L of the box 1, makes it possible to limit the degree of freedom of the opening angle formed between the two symmetrical parts la and lb over the entire width L of the said box. In fact, the further the blocking point of the articulated parts 1a and 1b from their point of articulation, the lower the degree of freedom. It will be understood that the boxes which have just been described and represented above have been for the purpose of disclosure rather than limitation.
