Abstract: The invention concerns a chess clock comprising a first clockwork mechanism (1) driven by its own quartz module (10), and a second mechanism (1′) likewise driven by its own quartz module (10′), powered by a common power source (14) on the terminals whereof they are mounted in parallel. The driving means of said clockwork mechanisms (1, 1′) consist of two switches (18, 18′) placed each on one of the electric circuits (15, 15′) powering said mechanisms (1, 1′). The two switches (18, 18′) comprise each a contact switch system (19, 19′) for opening or closing the corresponding electrical circuit (15, 15′), and an operating member (20, 20′). Said operating members (20 and 20′) are arranged each at the end of an articulated arm (21), forming a balance.

Abstract: Strategy game using at least two lots of game pieces with each lot being allocated to a player. The game includes a game grid forming rows and columns, and having a juxtaposition of parallel chutes. The parallel chutes include a first end and a second end. At least one of the first and second ends is adapted to receive the game pieces. At least one of the first and second ends is adapted to be blocked so as to prevent the game pieces from falling out. The game grid is movable between at least a position wherein a first end is substantially disposed above the second end and at least a position wherein a second end is substantially disposed above the first end. The game pieces are visible when disposed within the game grid.

Abstract: The ball-carrying structure complying with this invention consists of a supporting member (3) fitted with at least one orifice of suited diameter in order to accommodate one ball (5) by a slightly forcible nesting motion.
