The
invention
- The
problem to be solved:
Games of skilles, where game elements
being on each other have to be taken
away, like MAROKKO or JENGA, require too
much skilles from little children
(3 - 6 years of age).
|
- Definition:
The solution is a game of skill,
the game elements of which are balls of
same diameter. The balls are deposited
disorderly on a flat surface so, that
most of them touch each other. The balls
have to be got together one by one by
means of tongs without removing other
balls.
|
- Presentation:
The game consists of stocks and
balls of same diameter as many as fill up
the stocks. For example triangular stocks
and a black and seven-seven white and red
balls can be use. The balls are
table-tennis balls.The stocks consists
of a frame and a bottom element clamped
by studs. The internal contour of the
frame is essentially conform to the
tangential curve of the group of balls.
The bottom element is a thin solid sheet,
its shape is conform to the outer contour
of the frame. The studs are a bit shorter
than the diameter of balls in particular
so that the internal flange of the frame
touches the balls being adjacent to it.
The stocks is cut in two halves by a
dividing plane. The dividing plane lies
on a bisectrix of the stocks and it is
perpendicular to the bottom element. The
halves of stocks are coupled together at
the side cut through by means of a small
hinge structure, meanwhile with a lock
structure at the tip cut in half. A
catching basket is mounted on each halves
of stocks at the tip cut in half. Slopes
are formed on the two halves of the
bottom element in the neighbourhoud of
the catching basket, those slopes tilt to
lower flate of the bottom element.
The
essence of the game is the balls
overturned from the stocks on a flat
surface have to be picked up one by one
by means of the stocks, meanwhile other
balls mustn't be moved. The game is
played by two players one of them has to
collect the red balls and the other the
white ones. If the player moves another
ball too, the game is the other players
turn. The player, who collected his own
balls first can pick up the black one.
The winner is, who can collect up the
black ball.

- Advantages:
Taking away of balls touching each other
requires also the manual skill. However
balls can take their place only in a
single plate, so they stand stably.
Therefor little children's skill level is
enough for playing.
