description

Spielfiguren haben das ' Ziel, größtmögliche Statik bei guter Greifbarkeit durch die menschliche Hand und gleichzeitiger gewisser Unterscheidbarkeit sowie Personifizierung der Figur zu erreichen. Spielfiguren üblicher Bauart, insbesondere die zwei verbreitetsten Grundformen, nämlich der sogenannte "Halmakegel" und der sogenannte "Brettspielstein" erreichen diese Ziele nur durch Form- und Farbgebung, ohne beobachtbaren physikalischen Effekt. Die aufgrund ihrer guten Greifbarkeit und der elementaren Form als Spielfigur äußerst beliebte Kugel, bedurfte bis dato immer einer Führung im Spielbrett oder einer Veränderung der Form, da sie anderenfalls aufgrund ihrer geringen Auflagefläche und Reibung unkontrolliert wegrollte.The aim of game pieces is to achieve the greatest possible statics while being easy to grasp with the human hand and at the same time to ensure that the figure is distinguishable and personified to a certain extent. Game pieces of the usual design, in particular the two most common basic shapes, the so-called "halm cone" and the so-called "board game piece", only achieve these goals through shape and color, without any observable physical effect. The ball, which is extremely popular as a game piece due to its easy grip and elementary shape, has always required a guide in the game board or a change in shape, as it would otherwise roll away uncontrollably due to its small contact surface and friction.

Der im Schutzanspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, eine Kugel als Spielfigur zu schaffen, ohne die Kugelform zu verändern, gleichzeitig aber eine eigenständige, größtmögliche Fixierung der Figur zu erreichen.The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem of creating a ball as a game piece without changing the shape of the ball, but at the same time achieving an independent, greatest possible fixation of the piece.

Dieses Problem wird mit den im Schutzanspruch 1 aufgeführten Merkmale mittels Ausnutzung der Schwerkraft, des Trägheitssatzes und des Hebeleffektes gelöst.This problem is solved with the features listed in claim 1 by utilizing gravity, the law of inertia and the lever effect.

Mit der Erfindung wird erreicht, daß sich die ansprechende Kugelform als Spielfigur einsetzen läßt, da sie nach dem schnellen Auspendeln äußerst stabil auf der Stelle liegen bleibt. Nachdem die Kugel das Spielbrett nur mit einem einzigen Punkt berührt, läßt sie sich optimal greifen, aufheben udn versetzen. Desweiteren wird durch das ruckartige Auspendeln der Kugel, welches für das menschliche Auge unnatürlich erscheint, eine ansprechende Künstlichkeit erzeugt, die eine hohe Personifizierung ermöglicht. Schließlich kann die vorliegende Spielfigur niemals umfallen oder falsch aufgestellt werden, da sie sich durch die Form- und Gewichtsverteilung immer in die gleiche Stellung ausrichtet.The invention means that the attractive spherical shape can be used as a game piece, as it remains extremely stable in place after the rapid swinging. Since the ball only touches the game board with a single point, it can be easily grasped, picked up and moved. Furthermore, the ball's jerky swinging, which appears unnatural to the human eye, creates an attractive artificiality that allows for a high degree of personalization. Finally, this game piece can never fall over or be placed incorrectly, as it always aligns itself in the same position due to the shape and weight distribution.

Eine vorteilhafte und zugleich grundlegend entscheidende Gestaltung der Erfindung ist im Schutzanspruch 2 angegeben.An advantageous and at the same time fundamentally decisive design of the invention is specified in claim 2.

Die Weiterbildung nach Schutzanspruch 2 für die Anwendung bei Spielen mit zu unterscheidenden (Bsp. "Mühle", "Dame") und/oder unterschiedlichen Figuren (Bsp. "Schach") ermöglicht die Unterscheidbarkeit bzw. jeweilige Qualifizierung.The further development according to protection claim 2 for use in games with distinguishable (e.g. "Miller", "Checkers") and/or different pieces (e.g. "Chess") enables differentiation or respective qualification.

Als weiterer Vorteil ist das schnelle Aufstellen und das unmögliche Umfallen der Figuren zu nennen. Die Zeichnungen zeigen drei verschiedene Ausführungsbeispiele.Another advantage is that the figures can be set up quickly and cannot fall over. The drawings show three different examples.
