DICE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 645,1 12, dated March 13, 1900.
Application filed JanuaryZl, 1899. Serial No 702,890. 1N0 model.)
To (LU whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, VICTOR MnrEs, acitizen of the United States, residing at New York city, in the borough of Manhattan, in the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dice, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in dice adapted for amusement; and the essential object 01. the invention is the production of dice with which various games of cards may be played.
To this end the invention consists ol a series of, preferably, five dice having thereon the representation or designation of the fiftytwo cards comprising a pack. The representations or designations are so disposed that one may be clearly disclosed at any position which the dice may take, and the dice are therefore preferably provided with opposite facets on which the representations or designations are placed. The form for each die is a dodecahedron, and on four of the dice ten of the facets, and on the other one twelve of the facets, may be occupied. This will leave four dice each with two unoccupied facets and one die with no unoccupied facet. In order to prevent the dice from disclosing an unoccupied or blank facetduring the game, I provide the same with a device or means for pre venting the dice from resting with a blank facet uppermost. This may be accom plished by rounding the facet opposite each blank or by providing each of said opposite facets with a stud or projection, as will be explained. The representations or designations ol the fifty-two cards are so placed on the dice as to enable ditlerent combinations to be secured. To effect this result, a duplication of a card or its designation should not occur on any die, and the several suits should be divided between the dice as evenly as possible.
In order that my invention may be better understood, attention is directed to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a die embodying the invention; Fig. 2, a section thereof; Fig. 3, a section of a modification, and Fig. i a diagrammatic view illustrating a convenient arrangement of: the five dice.
,In all the above views corresponding parts are represented by the same letters of referonce.
A represents one o[ the dice made in the form of a dodccahedron. These dicenre made ofnny suitable umterinl--sueh as wood, ivory or celluloidand are imprinted with or carry the representations or designations ot the cards in any desired way. As stated, a coir venient armugemcnt is to place on four of the dice thedesignations or represent-Itions iften cards and on one die of twelve cards. In or dcr to prevent the unoccupied surfaces from being disclosed during the game, the facet op posite to each unoccu pied surface may be rounded, as at Fig. 2, 0| be provided with a projection, such as Fig". by either of which means the same result is secured. It will. of course be understood that the exposed side of the die is the horizontal or top side and that a blank side is prevented from beingexposed, since the peculiar structure of the directly-opposite face is such as to prevent any blank side from appearing at the top. The actual representations of the cards may be imprinted or nllixed on the die-facets; but preferably the cards are designated by the more conventional methods, thus, as shown, the deuce of diamonds, which appears on the exposed or upper face of the dice, tillustiated in Fig. 1,) may be represented by the numeral 2, carried upon the representation of a diamond.
In Fig. i I illustrate a convenient 21ll;lllf ment for the live dice, the latter being designated A, 13, (I, I), and l l, and wherein the cards are so arranged that duplicates in number do not occur on any die and the suits are distributed as evenly as possible. On A there are ace, nine, and four of hearts, king, live, and three of spades, queen, seven, and two of diamonds, ten, eight, and six of clubs. On ll there are ace, seven, and two of spades, king, eight, and three of hearts, queen and four of clubs, jack and six of diamonds. ()n 0 there are ace, nine, and five of diamonds, king and three of clubs, jack, seven, and two of hearts, ten and six of spades. 011 I) there are ace, five, and two of clubs, queen and six of hearts, jack, nine, and four of spades, ten and eight ofdiamonds. On E there are king, four, and
three ofdiznuoniis, queuimmi eiglibofspzules, i nations of the fifty-two cards, and provided jack, nine, and seven of clubs, ten and live of i with means for preventing the exposure of a hearts.
