1. An apparatus for collecting game playing markers comprising:
a. a plurality of markers of material which is attracted by a magnetic force;
b. a magnet;
c. a hollow non-magnetic housing adapted to receive said manget,
1. said housing having sufficient interior dimension to allow said magnet to be moved a significant distance away from the interior surface of the bottom of said housing, and
2. said magnet being normally disposed against said interior surface of the bottom of said housing whereby said markers are attracted to and held against the exterior surface of the bottom of said housing;
d. means for moving said magnet within said housing away from the interior surface of the bottom of said housing whereby said markers are released; and
e. a container of non-magnetic material having a fixed bottom, sides and open top, said container being adapted to engage and activate said magnet moving means when said housing is inserted in said open top to move said magnet away from the interior surface of the bottom of said housing to release the markers into said container.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said magnet moving means are flanges fixably attached to said magnet and extending outside said housing and movable with respect to said housing and adapted to engage the rim at the opening of said container.
What is claimed is:
1. A marker piece for use on a game board such as the game of Bingo and the like so constructed that the piece can be picked up by the player of the game manipulating a magnet when clearing the board of a plurality of such pieces, comprising, in combination,
a. a transparent disc of substantially uniform thickness and given diameter,
b. a ring of magnetically permeable material,
c. the axial thickness of the ring being no greater than the thickness of the disc.
d. the inside diameter of the ring being no greater than the given disc diameter,
e. the ring being fixedly attached to the disc concentric therewith, and
f. a magnet separate from the game board readily manipulated by the player,
g. whereby the magnet held near the marker piece will pick up the piece.
