Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a playful device for match graphical or alphanumeric data appearing at least on an upper face of the device.
  • Patents EP-A 322 085 and US-A-5 100 142 show other devices with multiple rotating discs, but the range of motion and possible combinations is effectively limited compared to game device according to the present invention due to the fact that in such devices, all or more rotating discs generally the parts are not coaxial.
  • the subject of the present invention is a more elaborate device, offering multiple possibilities to match data and results that can be not just continuous mathematical functions, but also discrete values, unencrypted data such as names, symbols, logical operators, communication doors etc., or various graphic elements such as drawings.
  • a particular purpose of the invention consists in arranging the device so as to allow large number of possible combinations between the various data, that is, between the physical elements that carry them.
  • the upper face of the device has at least three visible surfaces which are movable relative to each other and which can be matched two by two by mutual rotations. This allows in particular to match data on two of these surfaces, to find a result by a correspondence between one of them and a third surface.
  • the device can be a game consisting of find the respective positions of the two rotating elements which fulfill a given condition, for example which restore coherently a drawing distributed over said visible surfaces of the upper face of the device.
  • the means of transmission can include gears, chains and / or toothed belts and at least one planetary gear.
  • two of said elements rotary are coaxial.
  • the first, second and third visible surfaces are adjacent two by two, one of them lying between the two other.
  • said two elements rotary are coupled, by a kinematic link with fixed ratios, to each other and to a manual means of common training.
  • said two rotary elements are coupled respectively to two means training manuals, capable of being operated independently one of the other.
  • the transmission means have at least one planetary gear.
  • three coaxial elements of the planetary gear namely two wheels planetary and a planet carrier, respectively belong to said rotary elements and to the base pan.
  • Satellites of the planetary gear can also constitute elements rotary presses each having a visible surface provided with means for location.
  • the means transmission can have two planetary gears coaxials which have one element in common and which are each coupled to one of two manual training means.
  • Said manual means drive can be outer planetary wheels of planetary gears and include gripping means on their periphery.
  • Said common element can be a planet carrier which is part of the basic block. The planet carrier and two wheels inner planetary planetary gears can have mutually concentric visible surfaces on said face superior.
  • the device contains hidden accommodation for a witness, including a marble, a output or display of the witness, and of the moving parts shutter driven by the rotating elements and arranged for closing off a passage for the witness between said housing and said orifice, each shutter member having a hole for the passage of the witness, said passage being released by a unique position of mutual coincidence of the housing, the holes and the orifice, corresponding to a predetermined position of said surfaces visible.
  • a witness including a marble, a output or display of the witness, and of the moving parts shutter driven by the rotating elements and arranged for closing off a passage for the witness between said housing and said orifice, each shutter member having a hole for the passage of the witness, said passage being released by a unique position of mutual coincidence of the housing, the holes and the orifice, corresponding to a predetermined position of said surfaces visible.
  • Said housing can be located in one of the rotary elements.
  • At at least one of the obturation members can be formed by one of the rotary elements or can be a flat cam driven in translation and pivoting by one of the rotating elements.
  • Said witness may advantageously include a sign indicating gain, especially a specific color.
  • the device may include means, which cooperate with said witness, to trigger a signal audible and / or visual at the time of the release of this witness.
  • said means comprise a contactor arranged to be activated by said indicator, a power source and a circuit integrated electronics arranged to emit said sound signal and / or visual.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 The device illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 is presented under the form of a substantially cylindrical assembly, the face of which upper 1 is circular and consists of several surfaces visible which are movable relative to each other, these surfaces belonging to separate elements that can perform mutual movements of rotation and / or revolution, as we will describe later.
  • the advantage of this device is to offer a multiplicity of possible combinations of mutual positions of these surfaces, as will be better understood after the description of the construction of the device.
  • a base block 2 consists of three integral parts, each of others, namely a base plate 3, a planet carrier 4 and a upper plate 5 having a first visible surface 6 in the upper face of the device.
  • the planet carrier 4 is fixed directly to a flange 7 of the base plate 3, near which it has a peripheral gripping surface 8 which is striated to allow it to be held manually without slipping.
  • This surface 8 is cylindrical in this case, but it could have any other suitable shape, for example prismatic. The cylindrical shape allows to easily train the base block 2 to rotate it relative to the other elements of the device.
  • An intermediate ring 10 is rotatably mounted around the planet carrier 4 and has a peripheral surface of grip 11 similar to surface 8.
  • This ring is provided with a internal toothing 12 with eighty teeth.
  • a upper ring 13 is rotatably mounted around the plate 5 and comprises a peripheral gripping surface 14, similar surfaces 8 and 11. It has internal teeth 15 to eighty-two teeth, located above the toothing 12. In the plane of the upper face 1 of the device, the ring 13 has a second visible surface 16 adjacent to surface 6.
  • a first planetary gear is formed by the toothing 12 of the ring 10, a planetary idler gear 17 provided with teeth 18 to forty-two teeth, and a set of four satellites 19 (of which only one is shown in Figure 2) with nineteen teeth, which are mounted on the planet carrier 4 by means of respective anchors 20 secured of each satellite 19.
  • a second planetary gear arranged in a plane slightly higher than that of the first, includes the teeth 15 of the upper ring 13, a set of four satellites 21 (only one of which is shown in Figure 2) having each twenty-one teeth, mounted on the same planet carrier 4 at medium dowel 22, and a planetary gear 23 to forty teeth which is mounted coaxially on the planetary gear 17.
  • the planetary gears 17 and 23 have respective concentric visible surfaces 24 and 25 arranged in a central bore 26 of the plate 5.
  • the four concentric visible surfaces 24, 25, 6 and 16 are adjacent two two and rotating with respect to each other.
  • Each pin 20, 22 has a central barrel provided with a longitudinal slot 30 in order to be able to be engaged by its elasticity in a central bore of the corresponding satellite 19, 21 and blocked in rotation therein, for example by means of a pin not represented.
  • the lower end 31 of each pin 20, 22 is cylindrical and rotatably engaged in a bore correspondent 32 of the planet carrier 4.
  • each pin 20, 22 has a disc-shaped head 33, engaged in a corresponding circular hole of the upper plate 5.
  • the heads 33 In the plane of the upper face 1 of the device, the heads 33 have respective visible surfaces 34, 35 adjacent to the visible surface 6 of the plate 5. There are thus four surfaces 34 and four surfaces 35 rotating at different speeds, respectively with the satellites 19 and 21. Satellites 19, 21 and visible surfaces 34, 35 can be arranged alternately or by groups of two as shown in Figure 1, or alternatively otherwise compatible with the operation of the gears planetary.
  • the gears produce kinematic connections with fixed ratios between the different rotational and revolution movements of the rotating elements and their visible surfaces, a rotation being the movement of each element around its own axis, and a revolution being the circular movement of the axes of the satellites around the axis central 40 of the planetary gears.
  • We control these movements by individually rotating one of the three surfaces of grip 8, 11 and 14 relative to the other two, or two of these surfaces compared to the third. More specifically, if the basic block is considered fixed, for example if it is placed on a table, its visible surface 6 is fixed, as are the axes of the satellites.
  • the multiple angular movements described above, controlled manually with three degrees of freedom, allow a very large number of combinations of mutual positions of various surfaces visible juxtaposed in the upper face of the device.
  • These respective positions can be identified by different graphic elements printed or otherwise applied to these visible surfaces, for example circular scales representing numerical data, or successive fields representing discrete data such as names of people or countries, indexes to put next to these scales or fields, a drawing covering two or more adjacent visible surfaces or even the whole of side 1, so it's broken down by any movement from a starting position of the device and that the game consists in recomposing it, etc.
  • these angular tracking means are illustrated simply in the form of a radial line comprising segments successive 41 to 46 on the visible surfaces 24, 25, 6, 34 and 16, these segments being aligned in an initial position.
  • the rotation imposed on the ring 10 destroyed the alignment by rotating the two segments 41 and 44 in opposite directions and from different angles.
  • a rotation of the upper ring 13 would produce displacements different angles of segments 42 and 46, as well as others marking elements (not shown) applied to the surfaces visible 35 from the other set of satellites.
  • a basic block 50 consists of two parts, know a basic element 51 generally circular, intended to rest on a support surface and provided with a central part raised 52, and an upper plate 53 rigidly fixed to the central part 52 by means of a central rod (not shown).
  • the plate 53 has a circular visible surface 54 in the flat upper face of the device.
  • the basic part 51 presents in besides prominent parts 55, 56 and 57 to support other elements of the device, as well as a peripheral surface of gripping 58.
  • An outer ring 60 is mounted so rotating on the prominent peripheral part 57 of the workpiece base and has a peripheral gripping surface 61, a second visible surface 62 in the plane of the upper face of the device, and an internal toothing 63 to one hundred and ten teeth.
  • a ring interior 64 is rotatably mounted inside the ring 60 and has a third visible surface 65, located between the visible surfaces 54 and 62, and an internal toothing 66 to a hundred twenty teeth.
  • FIG. 4 represents the various toothed wheels in the form of primitive circles, with indication of the number z of teeth of each wheel.
  • a first idler wheel 67 with twenty-two teeth is rotatably mounted on the protruding part 56 and engages on the teeth 63 of the outer ring 60.
  • a second idler wheel 68 with twenty-two teeth is also mounted rotatably on the base part 51 and meshes with both the wheel 67 and the toothing 66 of the inner ring 64. This results in a transmission ratio equal to -110/120 between the two rings 60 and 64 .
  • a central gear wheel 70 to thirty-eight teeth is mounted from rotatably on the prominent part 52 and meshes on four toothed wheels 71 with twenty-two teeth, identical to each other others and mounted on respective prominent parts 55 of the base part 51.
  • One of the four wheels 71 shown in FIG. 5, engages on the wheel 67, which allows it to be driven from the outer ring 60.
  • the four wheels 71 In the plane of the upper face of the device, the four wheels 71 have visible surfaces respective circulars 72a to 72d in corresponding holes in the plateau 53. These four surfaces rotate at the same speed and in the same way.
  • FIG. 3 shows the marking means which are printed or applied in another way on the upper face of the device, to allow connections to be made between the various relative angular positions of the visible surfaces mentioned upper.
  • this is an educational game on data relating to the twenty-two regions of France and the capital of each of them.
  • the visible surface 62 of the outer ring is divided into twenty-two equal fields 73, separated by lines radial and each bearing the name of one of the regions.
  • the periphery of the visible surface 54 is divided into twenty-two fields equal 74, separated by radial lines and each with the name of a regional capital.
  • the visible rotating surfaces 72a to 72d carry respective indexes 75a to 75d and a text identifying the data type which corresponds to this surface, namely: the name of the capital, the population of the capital, the population of the region and the area of the region.
  • These twenty-two data for each index are printed on the stationary surface 54 in the form of circular lists 76a to 76d of names or numbers which are angularly equidistant.
  • the game consists in rotating the outer ring 60 relative to the basic block 50 (or vice versa) to put one in front of the other field 73 indicating a region and field 74 indicating the capital of it.
  • the indexes 75a to 75d indicate the corresponding correct data 76a to 76d.
  • each field 74 is provided with a central index 77 in look of which we read the corresponding distance in a list circular 78 printed on the visible surface 65.
  • a similar system can be implemented for other countries, having a other number of regions.
  • nineteen teeth can be provided for wheels 67 and 71, one hundred and fourteen teeth for the toothing 63, one hundred and twenty teeth for the toothing 66 and eighteen teeth for idler 68.
  • twenty-three Swiss cantons we can expect twenty-three teeth for wheels 67 and 71, one hundred and fifteen teeth for teeth 63, one hundred twenty teeth for the toothing 66 and twenty-two teeth for the wheel reference 68.
  • the number of teeth of the central wheel 70 can be freely chosen.
  • a device of the type illustrated by the Figures 3 to 5 is intended to match at least two respective elements of two data sets, which can be both discrete elements and continuous functions, for indicate different results depending on the data pair selected. If for example fields 73 and 74 have names of football or other sport teams, list 78 may indicate the results of the meetings between a team indicated by one of the fields 73 and each of the teams indicated in fields 74.

  • the first wheel 82 is provided with a wheel 90 which emerges laterally from the housing to be manually operated.
  • This wheel drives with a first gear transmission the second wheel 83, which drives the two wheels 84 and 85 with two other transmission ratios which can be different from each other.
  • this provides a large number of different combinations of angular positions of the visible surfaces 86 to 89 one by relative to others and relative to the surface 81 of the housing.

  • a rotation of the intermediate ring 110 (toothing 112) relative to the base block rotates the elements 119, 117 and 125
  • a rotation of the upper ring 113 tilt 115 relative to the base block rotates the elements 121, 123 and 124. Consequently, the visible upper surfaces of said elements rotate by compared to others in a similar way to the example of Figures 1 and 2, except for the angular velocities because of the numbers of different teeth.
