Claim 1
Independent Claim
267 words
A device for utilization in a dice game of chance including: a. first and second members, said first member presenting first and second surfaces and having at least seven predetermined positioned Individual light guide means supported therein, each presenting first and second ends, for conducting light from said first surface to said second surface, said first member supported adjacent said second member and rotatable in relation thereto; b. a light source; c. a mask having a plurality of predetermined positioned window means therethrough supported by said second member, intermediate said light source and said first surface, for allowing the passage of light from said source; d. said second surface being representative of an upturned face of a die and presenting at least seven die spots to which light will be conducted, selectively, through from one to six of said light guide means in accordance with said passage of light through said window means and said first ends of said light guide means dependent upon different respective angular positioning of the first member with respect to said second member; e. and first member angular position control means for allowing said first member to assume one of at least six different angular positions with respect to said second member and mask supported thereby upon rotation of said first member, each of said positions being related to a passing of light to said one, or more, of said first ends resulting, respectively, in a conducting of light to one, two, three, four, five or six of said seven die spots depending upon which of the six angular positions is assumed.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
267 words
A device for utilization in a dice game of chance including: a. first and second members, said first member presenting first and second surfaces and having at least seven predetermined positioned Individual light guide means supported therein, each presenting first and second ends, for conducting light from said first surface to said second surface, said first member supported adjacent said second member and rotatable in relation thereto; b. a light source; c. a mask having a plurality of predetermined positioned window means therethrough supported by said second member, intermediate said light source and said first surface, for allowing the passage of light from said source; d. said second surface being representative of an upturned face of a die and presenting at least seven die spots to which light will be conducted, selectively, through from one to six of said light guide means in accordance with said passage of light through said window means and said first ends of said light guide means dependent upon different respective angular positioning of the first member with respect to said second member; e. and first member angular position control means for allowing said first member to assume one of at least six different angular positions with respect to said second member and mask supported thereby upon rotation of said first member, each of said positions being related to a passing of light to said one, or more, of said first ends resulting, respectively, in a conducting of light to one, two, three, four, five or six of said seven die spots depending upon which of the six angular positions is assumed.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
83 words
The invention as set forth in claim 1 additionally including: f. an axis common to said first and second members on which said rotating of the first member takes place; g. said angular position control means including a magnetic element supported by said first member a predetermined distance off said axis; h. at least six magnets, each supported by said second member a predetermined distance off said axis coincident with one of said angular positions for effecting said positioning of the first member.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
247 words
A device for utilization in a dice game of chance including: a. a rotatable member; b. a light source; c. a mask intermediate said light source and a first surface of said member; d. said member being rotatable in relation to said mask about an axis thereof which coincides with a center point of said mask; e. a plurality of light guide means, each presenting first and second ends, extending from said first ends which are angularly spaced in predetermined off axis positions of said area of said first surface to a die spot display surface of said member, said second ends arranged adjacent said display surface so as to represent seven die spots; f. said mask including at least six window arrangements, each containing, respectively, one, two, three, four, five and six windows, occupying at least six angularly spaced off axis positions for effecting a passing of light to a predetermined one or more of said first ends from said positions dependent upon the angular position of said rotatable member with respect to said mask; g. angular position control means for allowing said rotatable member to assume any of at least six different angular positions with respect to said mask upon a rotating thereof, each of said positions being related to a passing of light through said window arrangements to said one or more first ends and, respectively, to a conducting of light to one, two, three, four, five or six of said seven die spots.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
247 words
A device for utilization in a dice game of chance including: a. a rotatable member; b. a light source; c. a mask intermediate said light source and a first surface of said member; d. said member being rotatable in relation to said mask about an axis thereof which coincides with a center point of said mask; e. a plurality of light guide means, each presenting first and second ends, extending from said first ends which are angularly spaced in predetermined off axis positions of said area of said first surface to a die spot display surface of said member, said second ends arranged adjacent said display surface so as to represent seven die spots; f. said mask including at least six window arrangements, each containing, respectively, one, two, three, four, five and six windows, occupying at least six angularly spaced off axis positions for effecting a passing of light to a predetermined one or more of said first ends from said positions dependent upon the angular position of said rotatable member with respect to said mask; g. angular position control means for allowing said rotatable member to assume any of at least six different angular positions with respect to said mask upon a rotating thereof, each of said positions being related to a passing of light through said window arrangements to said one or more first ends and, respectively, to a conducting of light to one, two, three, four, five or six of said seven die spots.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
78 words
The invention as set forth in claim 3 wherein said angular position control means includes: h. a first magnetic element supported by said rotatable member off said axis and adjacent said first surface; i. at least six magnetic elements associated with said mask supported off said axis and coincident, respectively, with said six window arrangements and cooperating with said first magnetic element in effecting a positioning of said rotatable member in one of said six different angular positions.
