Abstract
A 10-sided die (10) has an outer skin (14) and an insert (12). The outer skin (14) defines 10 faces wherein respective faces of the die (10) are numbered consecutively from 0 to 9. The outer skin (14) further defines an internal cavity (70) and a plurality of inner surfaces opposite the respective faces and facing the internal cavity. The insert (12) is positioned in the internal cavity (70). The insert (12) has a plurality of outer surfaces wherein the plurality of outer surfaces of the insert (12) are positioned respectively in confronting relation to the plurality of inner surfaces of the outer skin (14). The insert (12) resists compressive force applied to the outer skin (14).
Claims1
A decahedron-shaped 10-sided die comprising:
- a paper-based outer skin defining 10 faces, respective faces of the die numbered consecutively from 0 to 9, the outer skin defining an internal cavity and a plurality of inner surfaces opposite the respective faces and facing the internal cavity;
- and
- a set of five paper-based inserts positioned in adjacent relation in the internal cavity,
- each paper-based insert defining at least one connection tab and the insert having a plurality of folds wherein the at least one connection tab is secured to an adjacent segment of the insert wherein the insert has an irregular pyramid shape,
- wherein the five inserts are positioned in adjacent relation in the internal cavity wherein the five inserts collectively define a plurality of insert outer surfaces, the plurality of insert outer surfaces are positioned respectively in confronting relation to the plurality of inner surfaces of the outer skin,
- wherein the five inserts cooperatively resist compressive force applied to the outer skin via hand pressure of a user wherein the outer skin does not collapse upon itself in response to the compressive force.
