DE4135598A1 - Chess game for house or garden - has locking devices and apertures in chess pieces and/or bodies forming panels - Google Patents

Abstract

The chess game forms a light-emitting unit, having half-dice-shape bodies forming flat and variable chessboard game panels. The chessmen can be attached to the board by magnets or connecting plugs, and contact points and lights are connected by computer. The bodies forming the panels and/or the chessmen are equipped with locking devices, while apertures are formed in different positions in them, partic. at the sides. ADVANTAGE - Low cost, and bodies are easily stacked and secured.

Description

The innovation is a chess game for Home and garden - also intended as lighting equipment -, in which in an execution approximately semi-cubic Bodies for the formation of "flat and plastic" variable chess fields "use, as well in one variant, especially as a travel chess game the figures by means of magnetic or plug devices are "pending" on the chessboard, and their game is relevant Items - promoting diversity - u. U. by means of PC connected contact points and lighting devices refined are.

The invention builds on the prior art of DE-GM 76 08 834 of the inventor.

Chess games at home - or in parks known to be illuminated from outside for playing in the dark. For flat chess fields in detail as well as for areas variable - or "relief-like" - Chess playing fields / chess game facilities in particular - primarily for the standing figures - should be chess games from the inside very attractive be especially when studying for chess disciples the "development of strength" of individual figures through background lighting pregnant can be "underlined".

So this is the one problem area that the need arises the exact stackability (not known as Plug connection desired) the chess field forming body ("Game pieces") connects - in connection with a inexpensive manufacturability of the same. Because the single field / Manufacturing (blowing process), e.g. B. for table chess games, would make the product unaffordable.

Finally, it is disadvantageous that, for. B. stressed at a center  Overall chess field (with corner and side areas) the figures are not narrow or small individual fields) are always easy to set up - and also u. U. especially light (for example as a decorative item in the shop window) can move. Or the basic figure set up in each Only then is double arch (arena-like and) particularly effective, when the figures are exactly on the individual of different types of play areas. The centric Figure setup is therefore not always very easy.

The task of the invention is to play a chess game To create house and garden, the game pieces "good and stackable exactly on top of each other and inexpensive to produce are, whose figures are also slightly different Fields can be set up in the middle - and remain there - (where the "game pieces" together with figures for general use should not be "pluggable"); and their chess game in total - fields, "game pieces" and figures - from the inside as a light-giving device - at best with individual field individual control and necessary Contact and lighting parts - trace back to to the PC program - is trained.

The task was solved in that the chess fields forming Bodies (playing pieces) and / or the chess pieces - including flat chess fields - with locking devices are trained and varied in the chess fields forming bodies (playing pieces) - especially in their Side stems - breakthroughs are present.

Further advantageous designs / refinements are in the subclaims are shown.

The subject matter of the invention is shown in the figures for example.

It shows the

Figure 1 shows the top view (simplified) of a "playing piece" forming a square playing field;

Figure 2 shows the "game piece" (simplified) according to Figure 1 in section AD.

Fig. The plan view (simplified) 3 on the rear right complete field-quarter of a center stressed design chess-board of the inventor, in which the different-span "token" lie against each other;

Fig. 4 is a perspective view (top view) of a design chess board emphasized by the inventor with figures set up on the "base lines" - in the chess board corner areas figure-running graphics are shown in a flat relief design;

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a "area and plastically-variable" - forming from pitch "half cubes" formed - "relief chessboard" of the inventor; with a closer look, the "chessboard" is designed as a kind of castle, and "castle walls and tower structures contain" embrasures "(quote from a young chess player fascinated by this chess game:" You can "sneak up on the game"! ");
