Filed:

Mar 15, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/525794

Inventors:

Jeffrey W. Bean - Sanford ME 04073

International Classification:

A63F 908

US Classification:

273155, 273241, 273271

Abstract:

A two-player game combining an assembly of ring-form components modifiable by the rotation and sliding of two handles. The game has first and second handles separated by a series of rotatable game rings. Each game ring bears a pattern of selected indicia about its circumference. Game ring engagement members associated with the handles are constructed for engagement with and rotation of selected of the game rings to align selected of the indicia thereon with indicia on adjacent game rings, by pushing, pulling and rotating movement of the handles about a central common axis, each game rings being free to rotate about the central common axis and held by a series of stationary spacer rings. In one preferred embodiment, an electronic indicator circuit detects occurrence of a predetermined desired alignment of indicia and emits a signal thereupon.

Abstract:

A gaming chip holder and cup holder in one integrally molded device. A generally cylindrical center cup holder section surrounded by semi cylindrical poker style chip holders placed about the circumference of the cup holder area. An area without the chip holders is replaced with an integrally molded handle to facilitate the transportation of the beverage and poker chips from table to table and about the casino in a controlled and organized manner. This handle is formed in such a way as to allow the chip and cup holder device to be slid under the typical poker table bumper pad as to further insure against spillage and to conserve space on the poker table. The chip and cup holder device is also stackable unto itself.

International Classification:

A63F 900

US Classification:

273 1G

Abstract:

A competitive disk rotating game device designed to employ several different forms of play into one fast paced two player unit and consist of a series of multi-colored and uniquely patterned disks which are rotated to the left and right by the interactive pushing, pulling, and rotation of each player's handle, one at each end of the rotating disks.

International Classification:

A63F 900

US Classification:

273 1G

Abstract:

A two player game provides an assembly of components in modifiable form by the rotation and sliding of two handles, the handles being separated by a series of spaced individually rotatable game rings, each ring being covered with a unique pattern of selected indicia about its circumference. Means controlled by the handles permit the players to rotate selected rings to align selected indicia on adjacent rings. Spacer rings rigidly affixed to a center shaft separate the game rings and have structure interlocking them to each other within the neighboring game rings. The game rings having inwardly facing teeth which can be selectively actuated by a tab on the end of a handle extension when the handle is rotated. A series of cooperating spring clips held by portions of the spacer rings in engagement with and beneath said teeth, yieldingly resist turning of the game ring by the tab and a keyway in the handle guard limits rotation of the handle extension at each play to turn the game wheel only one step at a time. Ridges defined by internal structure of the spacer rings cooperate with projections on the ends of the handle extensions to index the movements of the extension to locate the actuating tab within a selected game ring.
