Benefits of technology
The present invention aims to solve problems in the prior art by providing a rotating device that doesn't require separate shaft and holes in the board to hold the shaft. This rotating device is suitable for moving multiple balls or rounded surface playing pieces in a simpler and more effective way. Additionally, the invention simplifies the appearance of the board and eliminates the need for separate parts, while also optimizing the number of playing fields.
Problems solved by technology
The figures and balls, etc. working as playing pieces can therefore be moved only by rotating the segments or freely manually by the players, while it is not possible to move the playing pieces in a way defined and limited by the game apparatus without rotating the board segments.
However, in these solutions, the rotating mechanism is composed of a shaft and its bearing sockets Therefore, the rotation is a bit difficult and not so effective, because the shaft of the rotating device has to be removed from the previous hole and fitted in the next hole for each rotation.
Further, the appearance of the game board is inhomogeneous and fragmented due to the holes.
Holes and playing fields alternate in difficult arrangement demanding unnecessarily high concentration from the players.
Additionally, reduces the useful playing area for the fields and the balls.

Embodiment Construction
[0024]Referring to the drawings by numerals of reference and more particularly to FIGS. 1 and 2, there shown a rotating device 4 situated on a game board 1 provided with a simple pattern of fields. The pattern of fields 2 is such that fields 2 form columns and fields 2 of a column are spaced by the same unit distance, fields 2 of the neighbouring columns are shifted by half a unit distance in a way that six fields 2 around a field 2 are in the vertices of a regular hexagon. Fields 2 are concave recesses in the surface of game board 1, expediently have spherical segment or spherical cap shape. Fields 2 stores balls or rounded surface playing pieces 6.
[0025]The means for relocating balls or rounded surface playing pieces 6 is rotating device 4. Rotating device 4 essentially comprises a plate 8 and a rotating knob 9. According to the described embodiment of the rotating device 4, plate 8 is a thin circular disk comprising an opening 3 in its centre and six other opening 3 around this c...

Ball or rounded surface playing piece supported rotating device for board games to move simultaneously even more than one playing pieces easily. Fields are configured on game board for storing playing pieces. Fields constitute a pattern. Any playing piece on the game board may serve as rotation support for rotating device. The ball operating as rotation axis and support is fitted in at least one of the openings, e.g. in the centre of rotating device. There formed openings in rotating device arranged in a pattern corresponding to the pattern of fields. The rotated playing pieces are fitted in openings of rotating device and playing piece moves from one field to another field by the rotation of rotating device. For convenient rotation, rotating device comprises a rotating knob. Fields are configured so that balls or rounded surface playing pieces take a centre position in a field by themselves.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The subject-matter of the invention is a rotating device for a board game, which board game has fields on the surface of its game board, the fields form a pattern and some of the fields contain balls or rounded surface playing pieces to be relocated from one field to another.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]It is well known in the art the board game, wherein the game board is divided into four parts and each board part can be rotated separately. Balls in the fields on the surface of the board change their position by rotating the board part.[0005]DE 298 13 573 U1 discloses a board game having a circular board comprising concentric circular segments, which can be rotated relative to each other. Fields as ball nests are configured in the segments, which are rearranged by rotating the segments.[0006]GB 2 203 659 A shows a board game having ball nest like fields in the surface of its game board. A circular board s...
