Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a bingo game accessory, and more particularly, a bingo caddy.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Numerous innovations for devices to aid in the playing of bingo have been provided in the prior art that will be described. Even though these innovations may be suitable for the specific individual purposes to which they address, however, they differ from the present invention.
- A FIRST EXAMPLE, U.S. Pat. No. 3,811,680, Issued on May 21, 1974, to Benesch teaches an arrangement for supporting game cards such as bingo cards on the lap of a player or on a table surface in front of the player. A plurality of boards are interlinked to accommodate a number of such game cards used by the player. Removable legs attachable to the boards allow the board to be supported on the lap of a player at an inclined angle, or on a table surface in front of the player. Interlinking or disengagement of the boards are achieved without the application of tools.
- A SECOND EXAMPLE, U.S. Pat. No. 3,913,921, Issued on Oct. 21, 1975, to Bourassa teaches a mask for a bingo card comprising a sheet made of a plastic material having a first transparent clear portion representing a predetermined symbol composed of squares whose dimensions correspond to the ones of the squares of a bingo card and a second portion which is less transparent or which has a contrasting color with the first portion. The mask located over the bingo card enables to easily distinguish the squares of the card which must be filled in order to win.
- A THIRD EXAMPLE, U.S. Pat. No. 4,291,882, Issued on Sep. 29, 1981, to Del Monte teaches a bingo card holder, for supporting a plurality of bingo cards to be played simultaneously by a single player, that includes at least a pair of holding means, such as longitudinal slots, each of which is capable of supporting at least one bingo card, with such cards being holdable so that one is substantially horizontal, preferably inclined downwardly and forwardly toward a player, and the other is substantially vertical, preferably inclined upwardly and away from the player. The holders are usually molded of a synthetic organic polymeric thermoplastic material, are adaptable to be joined together, may be nested for storage, may include recess means for holding bingo playing materials and incidentals, and preferably include projections in the walls of the slots for better holding the cards.
- A FOURTH EXAMPLE, U.S. Pat. No. D271,895, Issued on Dec. 20, 1983, to Runions teaches an ornamental design for a bingo-card holder, as shown and described.
- A FIFTH EXAMPLE, U.S. Pat. No. 5,054,783, Issued on Oct. 8, 1991, to Hull et al. teaches a bingo caddy useful for transporting and containing bingo player's paraphernalia including a pillow and slanted fold-out multiple playing surfaces with a holding device to hold bingo cards or the like and user friendly placement of marker's etc. The bingo caddy has a unique two section lid or top which folds into a compartmentalized configuration for easy access to all paraphernalia.
- A SIXTH EXAMPLE, U.S. Pat. No. 5,213,326, Issued on May 25, 1993, to Rundell et al. teaches a bingo sheet organizing device having a first panel with a size suitable for receiving a bingo sheet, a second panel having a size suitable for receiving a bingo sheet, and a body connected in hinged relationship to an edge of the first and second panels. The first and second panels extend radially outwardly from the body. A suitable retainer is provided so as to retain the bingo sheet on each of the panels. The body is a tubular member having at least one hinge member extending outwardly therefrom. The hinge member extends generally longitudinally along the body. A handle is fastened to an exterior surface of the tubular member and extends outwardly transverse to a plane of the second panel. An elastic band extends around the first panel distal to the connection of the first panel to the body so as to receive the bingo sheet therewithin. A lip is formed along an edge of the first panel in resilient contact with the panel so as to receive an edge of the bingo sheet.
- A SEVENTH EXAMPLE, U.S. Pat. No. D341,165, Issued on Nov. 9, 1993, to Miles teaches an ornamental design for a bingo card caddy, as shown and described.
- It is apparent now that numerous innovations for devices to aid in the playing of bingo have been provided in the prior art that are adequate for various purposes. Furthermore, even though these innovations may be suitable for the specific individual purposes to which they address, accordingly, they would not be suitable for the purposes of the present invention as heretofore described.
- AN OBJECT of the present invention is to provide a bingo caddy that avoids the disadvantages of the prior art.
- ANOTHER OBJECT of the present invention is to provide a bingo caddy that is simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
- STILL ANOTHER OBJECT of the present invention is to provide a bingo caddy that is simple to use.
