Spinner Dice

Abstract

A spinner meant to substitute for multi-sided dice that is made of top, middle and bottom plates. The top plate features a pin configured to insert into a central post of the bottom plate both of which pass through a hole or aperture in the middle of the middle plate. A ball bearing assembly can be integrated into the center of the middle plate, surrounding the aperture. The central post and the pin can both have a raised seat surrounding their respective bases which decreases the amount of friction between the top, middle and bottom plates as the middle plate spins relative to the other two plates.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A spinning device for use with dice games comprising:
 a top plate having a viewing window and a bottom surface with a vertical pin that extends away from a bottom surface of the top plate;   a bottom plate having a central post sized and shaped to accept the insertion of the vertical pin; and   a middle plate having a top surface, a bottom surface and an aperture in the middle of the middle plate.   
     
     
         2 . The spinning device of  claim 1  further comprising a first raised seat encircling a base of the central post on the bottom plate. 
     
     
         3 . The spinning device of  claim 2  further comprising a second raised seat encircling a base of the vertical pin. 
     
     
         4 . The spinning device of  claim 2  further comprising a ball bearing assembly integrated into an inner edge of the middle plate. 
     
     
         5 . The spinning device of  claim 3  further comprising a ball bearing assembly integrated into an inner edge of the middle plate. 
     
     
         6 . The spinning device of  claim 4  wherein the top plate and the bottom plate are made of a flexible material. 
     
     
         7 . The spinning device of  claim 5  wherein the top plate and the bottom plate are made of a flexible material. 
     
     
         8 . The spinning device of  claim 1  further comprising a raised seat encircling a base of the vertical pin. 
     
     
         9 . The spinning device of  claim 8  further comprising a ball bearing assembly integrated into an inner edge of the middle plate. 
     
     
         10 . The spinning device of  claim 9  wherein the top plate and the bottom plate are made of a flexible material. 
     
     
         11 . The spinning device of  claim 1  further comprising a plurality of protrusions encircling an outer edge of the middle plate. 
     
     
         12 . The spinning device of  claim 8  further comprising a plurality of protrusions encircling an outer edge of the middle plate. 
     
     
         13 . The spinning device of  claim 9  further comprising a plurality of protrusions encircling an outer edge of the middle plate. 
     
     
         14 . The spinning device of  claim 10  further comprising a plurality of protrusions encircling an outer edge of the middle plate.
