Abstract
Presented is a random character selector device having a heptahedron-shaped body portion displaying seven facets arranged symmetrically about a central longitudinal axis. Seven different sets of indicia related to numerical values from one (1) to seven (7) are marked on or embedded within the heptahedron-shaped body portion so that each numerical value is visible on or through at least one associated facet of the heptahedron body portion. The heptahedron-shaped random character selector is rolled on a flat surface and comes to rest on one of the flat facets. One of the indicia sets is displayed diametrically on the top of the selector device.
Claims13
A random character selector, comprising a heptahedron body portion having an outer heptagonal periphery symmetrical about a central longitudinal axis and including seven facets, and indicia associated with each separate facet and visible on the outer periphery of the heptahedron body portion;
- (a) said heptahedron body portion being formed with transparent outer and inner peripheries, and a plurality of sets of different indicia are spaced around the inner periphery of the heptahedron body portion and visible on the outer periphery thereof;
- (b) said plurality of sets of different indicia being displayed on a thin flexible sheet, and said sheet is conformed to the inner periphery of said heptahedron body portion whereby said different sets of indicia are visible through the outer periphery of the heptahedron body portion;
- and
- (c) and a core member provided within the conformed flexible sheet to retain the sheet intimately conformed to said inner periphery of the heptahedron body portion.
A random character selector, comprising a heptahedron body portion having an outer heptagonal periphery symmetrical about a central longitudinal axis and including seven facets, and indicia associated with each separate facet and visible on the outer periphery of the heptahedron body portion;
- (a) said heptahedron body portion being formed with transparent outer and inner peripheries, and a plurality of sets of different indicia are spaced around the inner periphery of the heptahedron body portion and visible on the outer periphery thereof;
- (b) said inner periphery being heptagonal;
- and
- (c) said heptagonal inner periphery is symmetrical about said central longitudinal axis and symmetrical with respect to the heptagonal outer periphery of the heptahedron body portion.
