FIELD OF INVENTION
[001] The present invention relates to a merriment apparatus. In particular, the present invention related to bridging merriment apparatus.
BACKGROUND
[002] Merriment apparatuses have been prevalent in the market since decades. Such apparatuses involve strategical, logical abilities depending on their operational method. These may be for children as well as for adults, based on the level of the intellectual ability to be applied. These can be classified broadly as either educational or entertainment ones. There are many known types of merriment apparatuses, one of which is the standalone educational merriment apparatuses, comprising a printed matter placed on top of a hardware. The main disadvantage of this type of educational apparatuses is that they are not suitable and/or convenient for younger children. Another disadvantage of this type of educational apparatuses is that they are expensive.
OBJECTIVE OF THE INVENTION
[003] Primary object of the present invention is to provide a bridging merriment apparatus that is suitable to be operated by young children and that is cost effective.
[004] Another objective of the present invention is to provide the user an easy to implementation of visual and technical bridging mechanism.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[005] The present invention provides a bridging merriment apparatus with a handboard with sections referring to various bridging mechanisms. An arrow mounted on a spindle placed on the handboard. The arrow rotates about the axis of the spindle. A trigger board that indicates receivable bridging mechanisms. Number of bridging mechanisms that are engaged with the triggering board on order to connect various separate bridging mechanisms. A user initiates the rotation of the pointer about the axis of the spindle on the handboard. When the pointer rests after rotation the pointer indicates a certain section of the handboard and user collects the indicated bridging mechanism to apply on the receiving portions of the triggering board. The bridging mechanisms are applied and connected for each spin until the bridging completes all the bridging requirements of the triggering boards.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[006] The following description describes various features and functions of the disclosed system. The illustrative aspects described herein are not meant to be limiting. It may be readily understood that certain aspects of the disclosed system can be arranged and combined in a wide variety of different configurations, all of which may not have been contemplated herein.
[007] These and other features, including the advantages of the present invention may be incorporated into certain embodiments of the invention which will become fully apparent from the following description, and more apparent from the description to be followed in the complete specification.
[008] Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. In addition, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted for clarity and conciseness.
[009] It is to be understood that the singular forms "a", "an", and "the" include plural reference, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
[0010] It should be emphasized that the term "comprises/comprising" when used in this specification is taken to specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps or components, but does not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, components or groups thereof.
[0011] In order to provide basic understanding of some aspects of the invention, a simplified description of the invention is presented herein. It is not an extensive overview of this invention. Also, it is neither intended to identify the key/critical elements of the invention nor to define the scope of the invention.
[0012] The present invention discloses a merriment apparatus for teaching bridging, linking, connecting or joining.

[0013] The apparatus comprises, but is not limited to, a spinner device on a hardboard, and connectors or linkers for bridging. The hand board incorporates number of sections with indications of various bridging mechanisms.
[0014] The user spins the spinner device on the hand board and on resting the pointer of the spinner points to a section of the handboard that provides for available bridging mechanisms. The available bridging mechanisms are connected on the triggering board with the other bridging mechanism.
[0015] The users connect the bridging mechanism so as to begin from a starting point and reach an end point.
[0016] The aim is to reach the end point fastest. It is pertinent to note that there is no limitation to the number of users in this apparatus.
[0017] As per an alternate embodiment, the present invention can also be optionally realized through an electronically connected means.
[0018] The present invention also discloses a method for operation of such standalone bridging merriment apparatus.
[0019] While the present invention has been described with reference to one or more preferred aspect, which have been set forth in considerable details for the purpose of making a complete disclosure of the invention, such aspects are merely exemplary and are not intended to be limiting or represent an exhaustive enumeration of all aspects of the invention. The scope of the invention, therefore, shall be defined solely by the following claims. Further, it will be apparent to those skills in the art that numerous changes may be made in such details without departing from the spirit and the principles of the invention.

CLAIM

1.A merriment apparatus comprising:
• a handboard with number of sections referring to sections of the bridging mechanism;
• a spindle mounted on the spinning handboard;
• an arrow with a pointer mounted on the spindle, the arrow rotates around the axis of the spindle, the arrow points to a section of the handboard;
• a user for engaging the rotation of the arrow about axis of the spindle;
• bridging mechanisms to be collected to meet the bridging requirements;
• a trigger board indicating and receiving various applicable bridge mechanisms provided by spinning handboard;
• the user initiating the pointer spinning on the handboard in either clockwise or anti-clockwise manner, the pointer on resting to a final destination from spinning action on the handboard and pointing to an available bridging mechanism;
• final destination of the pointer is compared to the triggering board and on meeting requirements of the indicted bridge mechanism of the triggering board, the indicated bridging mechanism is engaged to the triggering board.

2. The merriment apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the bridging mechanisms may be of various configurations of one unit and ten units.
3. The merriment apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the trigger board may be implemented as a digital display indicating and incorporating the bridging mechanism integrated on a digital display.
4. A method for operating merriment apparatus:

• rotating an arrow by the user in clockwise or anti-clockwise manner about the spindle on the spinning handboard that indicates bridge mechanisms;
• the arrow pointing to a final destination on reaching a stopping and indicating bridging mechanisms;

• comparing the pointer destination with the trigger board and on matching the triggering board indicated mechanism engaging the pointed bridge mechanism is then engaged with the trigger board.
