System including dice holder and corresponding dice

Abstract

A system including a dice holder and corresponding dice is disclosed, the dice holder having at least one aperture where the dice is configured to nest within a head and be viewable through the at least one aperture. In one embodiment, the dice holder has a first aperture and a second aperture, wherein the dice can be inserted through the first aperture and is viewable through the second aperture. The first aperture has a first periphery and the second aperture has a second periphery, wherein a dice periphery of the dice is greater than the second periphery, but less than the first periphery. The first aperture can receive the dice and allow for complete translation while the second aperture will block and prevent the dice from further translation through a receptacle volume of the head, thereby retaining the dice in the head of the dice holder.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system holding a dice, comprising:
 a dice,
 the dice characterized as having a cubic form comprising a first through sixth side, the first through sixth sides are each characterized as a square comprising a dice periphery; and 
   a dice holder,
 the dice holder comprising a figurine having a head and a body,
 the head comprising a first aperture, a second aperture opposite the first aperture, and a receptacle having a receptacle volume disposed between the first and second apertures, the first aperture having a first periphery with four sides, the
 first periphery being greater than the dice periphery, the second aperture having a second periphery with four sides, 
 the second periphery being less than the dice periphery; 
 
 
   wherein the dice is configured to be inserted through the first aperture and nest within the receptacle volume of the receptacle.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , the dice comprising artwork disposed on at least one of the plurality of sides, wherein the artwork is viewable from at least one of the first and second apertures. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the artwork comprises facial characteristics. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , the head further comprising a ring configured to engage a linkage element. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , the head further comprising a plurality of first apertures and a plurality of second apertures. 
     
     
         6 . A system holding a dice, comprising:
 a dice,
 the dice characterized as having a polyhedral form comprising a plurality of sides, the dice having a dice periphery associated therewith; and 
   a dice holder,
 the dice holder comprising a head,
 the head comprising a first aperture and second aperture,
 the first aperture having a first periphery, the first periphery being greater than the dice periphery, 
 the second aperture having a second periphery; 
 
 
   wherein the dice is configured to be inserted through the first aperture.   
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the dice is characterized having a cubic form comprising a first through sixth side, the first through sixth sides are each characterized as a square comprising the dice periphery. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the second periphery is less than the dice periphery. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the first periphery comprises four sides. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 6 , the dice holder further comprising a body coupled to the head, wherein the head and the body are characterized as a figurine. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the first aperture is opposite the second aperture. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the first aperture is disposed on a top portion of the head. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 6 , the head further comprising a plurality of first apertures and a plurality of second apertures. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 6 , the head further comprising a receptacle disposed between each of the first and second apertures, wherein the receptable comprises a receptacle volume. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the dice is configured to nest within the receptacle volume of the receptacle. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 6 , the dice comprising artwork disposed on at least one of the plurality of sides, wherein the artwork is viewable from at least one of the first and second apertures. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein the artwork comprises facial characteristics. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 6 , the head further comprising a ring configured to engage a linkage element.
