Abstract
A collection of game pieces including a block and a support tray. The block includes a top surface, a first width and a thickness. The support tray includes a top surface, a bottom surface, a second width, a depressed portion on the surface and the support tray is adapted to removably receive the block centrally on the top surface. The ratio of the first width and the second width ranges from about 6:7 to about 1:2 such that a flange of the support tray is formed. The block is configured to receive a plurality of nails driven into it using a striking tool and if the striking tool accidentally misses the block while used in driving a nail into the block, the flange is used to arrest the striking motion of the striking tool.
Claims18
A collection of game pieces comprising:
- (a) a block having a top surface, a first width and a thickness;
- and
- (b) a support tray having a top surface, a bottom surface, a second width, wherein said support tray is adapted to removably receive said block centrally on said top surface, and wherein the ratio of said first width and said second width ranges from about 6:7 to about 1:2 such that a flange of said support tray is formed and said top surface of said support tray further comprises a depressed portion adapted to form a fringe to secure said block,
- whereby said block is configured to receive a plurality of nails driven into it using a striking tool and if the striking tool accidentally misses said block while used in driving a nail into said block, said flange is used to arrest the striking motion of the striking tool.
A collection of game pieces comprising:
- (a) a block having a top surface, a first width and a thickness;
- and
- (b) a support tray having a top surface, a bottom surface, a second width, wherein said support tray is adapted to removably receive said block centrally on said top surface, and wherein the ratio of said first width and said second width ranges from about 6:7 to about 1:2 such that a flange of said support tray is formed and said top surface of said support tray further comprises at least one key configured to be coupled to a matching slot of said block to prevent movement of said block relative to said support tray and to prevent use of an unqualified block,
- whereby said block is configured to receive a plurality of nails driven into it using a striking tool and if the striking tool accidentally misses said block while used in driving a nail into said block, said flange is used to arrest the striking motion of the striking tool.
A collection of game pieces comprising:
- (a) a block having a top surface, a first width and a thickness;
- (b) a support tray having a top surface, a bottom surface, a second width, wherein said support tray is adapted to removably receive said block centrally on said top surface, and wherein the ratio of said first width and said second width ranges from about 6:7 to about 1:2 such that a flange of said support tray is formed;
- and
- (c) a wall extending upwardly from the periphery of said flange,
- whereby said block is configured to receive a plurality of nails driven into it using a striking tool and said flange and said wall are configured to arrest the striking motion of the striking tool that misses said block and to contain any inadvertently separated edges of said block from leaving said support tray.
