Description

TECHNICAL FIELD AND STATE OF THE ART

[0001] The invention relates to a card or board game box comprising an enclosure for storing the game material and a lid for closing the enclosure. Such a game box is for example known from prior art document US3375008.

[0002] A game box is used to store game materials such as playing cards, one or more dice, etc.

[0003] Today's game boxes are often bulky: the enclosure and lid are ultimately only used for storage. In addition, the lid often clutters up the playing space and does not allow the box to be properly closed, especially when it contains heavy gaming equipment: playing cards are often present in large numbers and are heavy to store.

[0004] Furthermore, current boxes are not suitable for proper storage of equipment, especially playing cards, so they are often left loose in the enclosure and can be damaged. Furthermore, players sometimes have to purchase additional equipment to enjoy their game: card holders, card dispensers, for example. STATEMENT OF THE INVENTION

[0005] The invention provides a game box which does not have the above limitations.

[0006] According to a first aspect, the invention relates to a locker of a board game box comprising a rectangular bottom; three walls perpendicular to the bottom and rising from three sides of the bottom respectively; a wall mounted to move relative to one side to be actuated between a high position such that the four walls close the sides of the bottom and a low position such that one side is accessible; means for returning the movable wall to bring it back to the high position when it begins to be raised.

[0007] The invention according to the first aspect is advantageously supplemented by the following characteristics, taken alone or in any of their technically possible combinations: it comprises two intermediate walls extending from the accessible side when the movable wall is in the low position, the walls being arranged at each end of the accessible side, the movable wall being in contact with the intermediate walls when it is in the high position; the return means of the movable wall consist of complementary magnetic parts arranged on the intermediate walls and the movable wall so that the movable wall is attracted to its high position when it is raised; the bottom comprises a step extending from the edge of the accessible side so that the bottom comprises a positive difference in level from the edge of the accessible side.

[0008] According to a second aspect, the invention relates to an enclosure for a game box comprising a first storage space comprising a rectangular bottom and four walls extending from each side, the enclosure comprising a second storage space attached to the first storage space and comprising a stack of at least one compartment intended to receive a locker according to the first aspect of the invention.

[0009] Advantageously, the second storage space comprises at least one wall movable between a high position and a low position configured to, when actuated, open access to the second storage space.

[0010] According to a third aspect, the invention relates to a game box comprising an enclosure according to the second aspect of the invention.

[0011] Advantageously, the lid is convertible into a game board.

[0012] And as a complement, the lid includes magnetic buttons configured to fit into complementary locations on the walls of the enclosure so as to firmly close the enclosure. PRESENTATION OF FIGURES

[0015] Please note that in the following, box means a storage enclosure that can be closed with a lid. First embodiment

[0016] THE figures 1 to 6illustrate a game box 1 according to a first embodiment comprising an enclosure 11 and a cover 12.

[0017] The enclosure 11 comprises a rectangular bottom 1110 common to two storage spaces.

[0018] A first storage space is constituted by a compartment 111 comprising longitudinal walls 1111, 1112 perpendicular to the bottom 1110 and side walls 1113, 1114.

[0019] The compartment 111 comprises a longitudinal intermediate wall 1115 parallel to one of the longitudinal walls 1111. This longitudinal intermediate wall 1115 delimits with the longitudinal wall 1111 a small secondary storage space 1116. Thus, the compartment 111 has a first storage space called the main storage space which allows the storage of the majority of the game material: for example boxes containing playing cards. This storage space 1116 called the secondary storage space which allows the storage of additional material, a rule of the game or a particular accessory such as a particular card which requires having its dedicated location. Advantageously or additionally, this secondary storage space 1116 is advantageously divided in two by a side wall 1117. This side wall 1117 can be removable to be able to modulate this secondary storage space 1116.

[0020] Advantageously and as visible on the figures 2 And 3 , the longitudinal walls 1112, 1111 include cutouts 1200 which facilitate access to the contents of the enclosure. These cutouts 1200 are rounded to facilitate storage spaces but also to avoid having sharp edges which could damage the game material and in particular the cards.

[0021] A second storage space is constituted by a box 112 and is attached to the compartment 111. This box 112 comprises four walls: two longitudinal walls 1122, 1123 and two lateral walls 1121, 1124 perpendicular to the bottom 1110. The longitudinal walls 1122, 1123 of the box 112 are respectively in the extension of the longitudinal walls 1111, 1112 of the compartment 111. The lateral walls 1121, 1124 of the box 112 are parallel to the lateral walls 1113, 1114 of the compartment 111. One of the walls of the box 111 also belongs to the compartment 112. On the figure 3, this is a side wall 1114. The housing 112 has locations 113, 114, 115 defined above the bottom: an upper location 115 accessible from the top and one or more lower locations 113, 114 stacked under the upper assembly 115 (from the top to the bottom, the bottom being the bottom). Advantageously, the lower locations 113, 114 are separated by a shelf 116. Alternatively, this shelf 116 can be dispensed with to form a larger location.

[0022] As illustrated in the figure 3 , the housing 112 preferably comprises three locations: an upper location 115 and two lower locations 113, 114. The lower locations are advantageously accessible thanks to a longitudinal wall 1123 which is movable relative to the bottom 1110.

[0023] The movable wall 1123 allows access to locations via a front face of the enclosure 11. In particular, this wall 1123 is mounted to move relative to a side 1125 of the bottom 1110 of the enclosure 11 at the level of the housing 12 to be actuated towards a low position such that it can be parallel to the bottom 1110. In this way it is easy to access the locations 113, 114.

[0024] This mobility is made possible by the fact that the side 1125 of the bottom and the lower side 1126 of the movable wall in contact with the case 112 form a fold line constituting a zone of fragility in the thickness of the case at this location. The actuation of the movable wall 1123 is then possible.

[0025] Advantageously, the housing 112 comprises means for connecting the movable wall 1123 in order to maintain the movable wall 1123 in the high position. The high position of the movable wall is a high position, that is to say perpendicular to the bottom 1110 of the enclosure 11 at the level of the housing 12. In this way, the movable wall 1123 can close the locations of the housing 112. These connecting means can also form means for returning the movable wall 1123 so that it returns to the high position when it is raised.

[0026] These connecting means can take several forms: magnets or textile strips including hooks such as Velcro ™ or adhesives or snap fasteners.

[0027] According to one embodiment, the connecting means also form the return means, the latter being constituted by magnetized parts 117, 118 arranged on a longitudinal wall 1151 of the upper location 115 and by magnetized parts 117', 118' complementary to those arranged on the upper location 115. In this way the magnetized parts of the movable wall 1123 and those of the upper location attract each other. Preferably, they attract each other to press the movable wall 1123 against the housing 112. This attraction allows that when the movable wall 1123 begins to be raised it is easily pressed against the housing 112. Its actuation is therefore easy, the closing of the housing 112 is therefore easy.

[0028] The magnetic parts 117, 118, 117', 118' are shown diagrammatically by circles in the figures but are invisible in practice. Furthermore, other shapes for these magnetic parts are conceivable.

[0029] The upper location 115 has a bottom 1152 and two longitudinal walls 1151, 1153, one of which includes the magnetized parts 117, 118. A cutout 119, preferably rounded (without sharp edges - see above) is also provided on the wall 1151 including the magnets 117, 118 in order to create a space between the movable wall 1123 and the upper location 115 so as to be able to actuate this movable wall 1123. The connecting and possibly return means are such that when the movable wall is in the high position, it is firmly held to correctly close the lower locations. As will be understood, the fact of preferring magnetized parts for the connecting means is that it also forms return means for the movable wall 1123 when it is close to the magnetized part of the upper location. The upper location 115 has an enclosed area which can, for example, be used as a dice rolling area during the game.

[0030] Below the upper location 115 are therefore arranged lower locations (here two lower locations) of identical sizes. These locations are advantageously intended to receive lockers intended to contain game material such as cards. In the case where the shelf 116 is not present, the lockers can be stacked on top of each other.

[0031] A locker 13 (see the Figures 4 and 5) comprises a rectangular bottom 130, two longitudinal walls 131, 132 and two side walls 133, 134 perpendicular to the bottom. A longitudinal wall 131 is mounted to move relative to a side 135 of the bottom to be actuated between a high position such that the four walls close the sides and a low position such that a side 135 is accessible. In particular, this is the front face of the locker 13. In this way, it is possible to access the interior of the locker 13 via this face when the movable wall is in the low position. The low position is a position where the movable wall is in the extension of the locker bottom and may even be parallel or substantially parallel to the locker bottom. As will have been understood, the low position of the movable wall designates several positions between the high position and the position parallel to the bottom.When the four walls of the locker 13 are in the upper position, each locker has the shape of a bin, the movable wall being against the intermediate walls (see the . Figure 5 ).

[0032] The locker 13 further comprises connecting means also advantageously forming means for returning the movable wall 131 to bring it back to the high position when it is raised.

[0033] These connecting and return means are constituted by intermediate walls 1360, 1370 extending from the side 135 accessible by the movable wall 131, the intermediate walls 1360, 1370 being arranged at each end of the accessible side 135, and are perpendicular to both the bottom 130 and the longitudinal walls 131, 132. The movable wall 131 is in contact with the intermediate walls 1360, 1370 when it is in the high position. The connecting and return means of the movable wall are advantageously constituted by magnetized parts 1361, 1371 arranged on the intermediate walls and by complementary magnetized parts 1361', 1371' arranged on the movable wall 131. In this way the magnetized parts of the movable wall and those on the intermediate walls attract each other. Preferably, they attract each other to press the movable wall 131 against the intermediate walls.When the magnets allow the movable wall to be recalled, the attraction of the magnets makes it possible to easily press the movable wall against the intermediate walls when it begins to be raised. This is without it being necessary to accompany the movable wall 131 against the intermediate walls to close the front face and therefore the accessible side. As will have been understood, the magnetized parts which attract each other are opposite each other when the movable wall 131 is in the high position and also pressed against the intermediate walls.

[0034] The magnetic parts are shown diagrammatically by circles on the figure 4 but are invisible in practice. In addition, other shapes for these magnetic parts are possible.

[0035] Advantageously, circular magnets are positioned on each intermediate wall as well as on the movable wall.

[0036] In the case where the connecting means do not form return means, these connecting means can take several forms: magnets or textile strips including hooks such as Velcro ™ or adhesives or press studs. In this case, to close the locker it is necessary to accompany the movable wall 131 to press it against the intermediate walls.

[0037] As already explained for the box 112, the provision of magnets makes it easier to handle the movable wall of the locker. Indeed, by simply raising the movable wall as soon as it is close to the intermediate walls comprising the magnets, it is attracted by the latter, which facilitates its handling and therefore the closing of the locker 13.

[0038] Additionally, the bottom 130 comprises a step 1300 extending from the accessible side 135 so that the bottom 130 comprises a positive difference in level from the accessible side.

[0039] In this way it is possible when the locker 13 contains cards to be able to pass a finger into the space defined by the step to grab cards without having to turn the locker over or shake it which could damage the cards.

[0040] Advantageously, the movable wall 131 comprises a central rounded cutout 136 (see figure 4 ). This movable wall 131 also serves as a tab to pull the locker 13 from its location in the enclosure 11 if necessary.

[0041] The enclosure 11 can advantageously be closed by a cover 12 which comprises a rectangular central part 120 from which rectangular lateral parts 121, 122 extend.

[0042] The side parts 121, 122 are connected to the central part 120 by folding lines 123, 124 which allow the cover 12 to be in a flat position (see the figures 3 And 6 ) or U-shaped (see the Figures 1 and 2), the side walls 121, 122 being perpendicular to the central part 120 and are therefore raised relative to this central part 120 when the cover 12 forms a U. These fold lines are zones of fragility formed in the thickness of the cover 12. It is therefore understood that the different parts of the cover are arranged between them so that the cover can pass from a first position to a second position and vice versa.

[0043] In flat position (see the figures 3 And 6 ), the cover 12 is placed under the enclosure 11 (see the figure 3 the central part 120 being of identical size to the bottom 1110 of the enclosure 11. It is understood that the fact of being able to place it under the enclosure 11 makes it possible to avoid it being too bulky when the game is taking place and that it is necessary to access the game elements stored in the enclosure 22.

[0044] The lateral parts 121, 122 of the cover 12 have dimensions smaller than the height of the walls of the enclosure 11. The cover in the U-shaped position makes it possible to close the enclosure 11. Holding means 125, 126, 127, 128 are further arranged on the lateral parts 121, 122 of the cover 12 so that it is firmly attached to the enclosure 11 when it closes the enclosure or when it is under the enclosure 11. These holding means can take several forms.

[0045] According to one embodiment, the holding means are constituted by magnetized parts 125, 126 arranged on the side walls 121, 122 which are intended to be pressed against the longitudinal walls of the enclosure 11: here two magnetized parts per side wall 121, 122. These holding means also comprise magnetized parts 125', 126' complementary to those arranged on the side walls of the cover but arranged on the longitudinal walls of the enclosure 11 (see figure 3 ). On the figure 3 we only clearly see those arranged on the longitudinal wall 1112 of the enclosure 11 but the other wall includes the same complementary magnetic parts. According to the first embodiment: four magnetic parts are present.

[0046] These holding means can take several forms: magnets or textile strips including hooks such as Velcro ™< or adhesives or snap fasteners. The case with magnetic parts is described below but this also applies to other alternatives for holding means.

[0047] In a complementary manner, the holding means also comprise buttons (knob in English) intended to be housed in complementary female parts, the buttons constituting the male part. The buttons 127, 128 are advantageously arranged between the magnetic parts of the side walls 121, 22 of the cover 12 on the face intended to be pressed against the enclosure 11. Thus, it is possible to have: a magnetic part, a button, a magnetic part, a magnetic part, a button, a magnetic part. The female parts 127', 128', are positioned on the longitudinal walls 1111, 1112 of the enclosure 11 in which the buttons must fit.

[0048] Combining the magnetic portions with the buttons ensures that the cover is firmly attached to the enclosure 11, and furthermore, it guides the user in positioning the cover 12 on the enclosure 11.

[0049] In this way, the enclosure 11 is closed and cannot let anything escape. The enclosure 11 and the cover 12 thus constitute a game box 1 which allows the game elements to be stored firmly and securely. The latter are in their place and correctly held. Furthermore, the cover 12 is completely separable from the enclosure 11. To do this, it is sufficient to separate the side walls 121, 122 of the cover of the enclosure 11 by means of the fold lines and to lift the cover.

[0050] Furthermore, preferring magnetic parts to other alternatives makes it possible to benefit from the attraction between the different magnetic parts which facilitate the positioning of the cover 12 on the enclosure 11. Also, the cover does not have a direction to be positioned on the enclosure. It is just necessary to ensure that the side walls with the buttons of the cover 12 are positioned to be pressed against the longitudinal walls of the enclosure 11.

[0051] According to another alternative embodiment, the holding means are simply constituted by the buttons and therefore without magnetic parts.

[0052] It is specified that the combination of connection means with recall means may be referred to as "recall means" for reasons of conciseness. Second embodiment

[0053] Figures 7 to 14 illustrate a game box 2 according to a second embodiment comprising an enclosure 21 and a cover 22.

[0054] As can be seen in the figures, the enclosure 21 for this box 2 is larger than the enclosure 11 of the box 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0055] The enclosure 11 includes a rectangular bottom 2110 common to two storage spaces (see the figure 7 ): a first storage space composed of a compartment 211 and a second storage space is constituted by a box 212. The two storage spaces are attached to each other.

[0056] The first storage space comprises side walls 2111, 2112 perpendicular to the bottom 2110 and longitudinal walls 2113, 2114. Advantageously, a removable wall 300 makes it possible to adjust the storage space constituted by the compartment 211. Grooves 301 are formed inside the compartment on the internal faces of the longitudinal walls. The removable wall 300 can be placed in these grooves depending on the spaces desired for the compartment 212. The removable wall 300, when not in use, can be stored in various locations: under the enclosure or in the compartments when space allows, or even above the cards.

[0057] Advantageously and as visible on the figures 9 and 10, the side walls 2111, 2112 include cutouts 2200 which facilitate access to the contents of the enclosure. These cutouts 2200 are rounded to facilitate storage spaces but also to avoid having sharp edges which could damage the game material and in particular the cards.

[0058] The second storage space comprises four walls: two side walls 2123, 2124 and two longitudinal walls 2121, 2122 connected to the bottom 2110: one of the walls is common with a wall of the compartment 211. As previously, the box 212 comprises locations 213, 214, 215: an upper location 215 accessible from the top and lower locations under the upper assembly (from the top to the bottom, the bottom being the bottom). Also, as for the first embodiment, a shelf 216 can be provided to delimit the lower locations 213, 214. This shelf 216 can be dispensed with to form a larger location.

[0059] Unlike the first embodiment, the housing 212 has two movable side walls 2123, 2124 which allow access to the lower locations via two opposite faces of the housing 212. This is advantageous insofar as it is possible to store lockers 13 already described in relation to the figures 4 and 5 concerning the box according to the first embodiment. In a complementary manner, it is possible to store drawers 24 which do not have movable walls (see the figure 11 ).

[0060] The movable walls 2123, 2124 according to this second embodiment are identical to those of the box 1 according to the first embodiment: connecting means preferably forming return means constituted by magnetized parts 217, 218 arranged on a wall 2151, 2152 of the upper location 215, the movable walls 2123, 2124 comprising complementary magnetized parts 217', 218'.

[0061] Cutouts 219 are provided on the wall 2151, 2152 comprising the connecting means 217, 218 in order to create a space between each movable wall 2123, 2124 and the upper location so as to be able to actuate the movable wall 2123.

[0062] Here again, the means of connection alone can take several forms: magnets or strips of textiles including hooks such as Velcro ™ or adhesives or snap fasteners.

[0063] It will be understood that the movable walls of the boxes according to the first embodiment or the second embodiment have identical structures and identical actuations.

[0064] Here again, the upper location has a closed Z zone which can be used as a dice rolling area during the game, as a storage area for any material needed for the game: notebook, pen, etc.

[0065] The drawer(s) 24 (see the figure 11) has a rectangular bottom 240 and rectangular walls 241, 242, 243, 244 at the bottom 240. Cutouts 245 are provided on opposite walls which allow the drawer to be grasped when it is in the location. The fact of providing opposite cutouts makes it possible not to impose a storage direction of the drawer in a location of the housing 212. Of course, only one notch can be provided but in this case the storage of the drawer will only be facilitated in one direction.

[0066] Additionally, such drawers 24 can be stored in the locations of the box housing according to the first embodiment.

[0067] As for the first embodiment, the enclosure 21 can advantageously be closed by a cover 22 of the same type as that of the first embodiment.

[0068] On the figures 7 and 8 the cover is in position such that it forms a cover for box 2, on the figure 9, it is positioned under enclosure 21 for reasons of space.

[0069] The cover 22 comprises side parts 221, 222 connected to a central part 220 by folding lines 223, 224 which allow the cover 22 to be in a flat position (see figure 9 ) or U-shaped (see the figure 7 ), the side walls 221, 222 then being perpendicular to the central part 220 and are therefore raised relative to this central part 220 when the cover forms a U.

[0070] In the flat position, the cover 22 is placed under the enclosure 21. The cover in the U-shaped position makes it possible to close the enclosure 21. Holding means are further arranged on the lateral parts 221, 222 of the cover 22 so that it is firmly attached to the enclosure 21 when it closes the enclosure. These holding means are advantageously constituted by magnetic parts 225, 226 making it possible to connect the cover 22 to the enclosure 21, the walls of the enclosure 21 comprising complementary magnetic parts 226' which attract those of the cover 22. On the figure 9 , additional magnetic parts are also present on the wall 2112 but not visible in these figures. These magnetic parts are advantageously coupled to buttons intended to be housed in additional female parts, the buttons constituting the male part. The buttons 227, 228 are advantageously arranged on the side parts 221 222 of the cover 22.

[0071] The buttons are adapted to be housed in female parts 227' arranged on the side walls of the enclosure 21. Furthermore, the cover 22 is here again completely separable from the enclosure 21. To do this, it is sufficient to separate the side walls 221, 222 of the cover of the enclosure 21 using the fold lines and to lift the cover.

[0072] Alternatively, the cover 22 can be transformed into a game board, that is, it can serve as an area in which the game takes place. It can be a dice throwing area or an area comprising inscriptions allowing the game to take place or even additional storage. An example of a game board is the board for the game of goose or checkers well known to those skilled in the art (non-exhaustive examples).

[0073] To do this, the lateral parts 221, 222 comprise secondary fold lines 224' which form lateral portions 231, 232 of each lateral part 221, 222 and which also form other lateral portions 2230u at the level of the central part 220.

[0074] These fold lines advantageously allow these side portions to be raised in order to delimit the playing area.

[0075] The cover 22 comprises eight holding portions 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38. Each of the holding portions is arranged between two side portions. In particular, the holding portions 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38 are arranged at each corner of the central portion 220.

[0076] The holding parts 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38 form two by two, between each lateral portion a square of which each diagonal forms fold lines 41, 42, 43, 44 allowing two adjacent holding parts to be folded onto each other. Thus, two holding parts are pinched together towards the outside of the central part 220. To hold them together, connecting means are arranged on each holding part.

[0077] These holding means can take several forms: magnets or strips of textiles including hooks such as Velcro ™< or adhesives or snap fasteners. Of course, it will be easily understood that two adjacent holding parts include complementary holding means when these are necessary: ​​magnet, Velcro ™<, snap fastener in particular.

[0078] In any case, magnets are preferred, as they are simple means of forming the game board. Indeed, as soon as the corners are folded, they attract each other so that the cover 22 can form the game board. Conversely, the corners are easily separated to form the cover.

[0079] The cover 22 which can be transformed into a game board can also be used in combination with the enclosure 11 according to the first embodiment by adapting its size.

[0080] The box 1, 2 according to one of the embodiments described above is advantageously made of cardboard having a thickness of between 2 and 6 mm. For aesthetic reasons, the cardboard is advantageously covered with a decorative material. Preferably, the box is made of an internal material and an external material around a base material such as cardboard, PP (polypropylene) or any other plastic. It is understood that the material chosen is sufficiently rigid and strong to be suitable for storing gaming equipment, which in the case of playing cards can be quite heavy. The outer material is generally PU leatherette, but it can also be any type of fabric. Preferably, it is PU leatherette on one side and a microfiber fabric on the other. Combination of the first and second embodiments

[0081] Those skilled in the art will understand that it is easy to combine features of each of the embodiments when technically possible: locker with movable wall; drawer, first storage space modular by means of a removable wall, intermediate storage space, cover convertible into a game board.
