Fig. 2: Querschnitt der Kugelkanäle für eine Stelle des Codes Fig. 2: Cross section of the ball channels for a location of the code

Gemäß der prinzipiellen Anordnung nach Fig. 1 sowie gemäß des Querschnittes der Kugelkanäle nach Fig. 2 ist ein Zufallsgenerator, bestehend aus einem Raum 1, aus fünf gleichartigen Kugeln 2, die durch die verschließbare Öffnung 13 einfüllbar sind, sowie aus zehn Löchern 3, so gestaltet, daß die Kugeln 2 im Raum 1 bewegbar sind, sich jedoch in Ruhelage im oberen Teil der Löcher 3 postieren. Über jedem Loch 3 des Zufallsgenerators ist ein Kugelkanal 4 angeordnet, der mit einer Verriegelung 5 gesperrt werden kann. Die Löcher des Zufallsgenerators führen in einen Ablaufkanal 6, welcher in einem Auffangbehälter 7 mündet. Im oberen Teil der Kugelkanäle 4 befinden sich Öffnungen 8 zur Aufnahme der Probekugeln 9. Eine weitere Öffnung 10 der Kugelkanäle führt zu einem zweiten Ablaufkanal 11, der ebenfalls in einem Auffangbehälter mündet. Durch Schütteln der Anordnung werden die Kugeln 2 des Zufallsgenerators auf die Löcher3 verteilt. Mit Hilfe von Probekugeln 9 versucht der Spieler, die Lage der Kugeln 2 zu ermitteln. Dazu bringt er an die Stellen, wo er eine Kugel 2 vermutet, eine Probekugel 9 in die entsprechende Öffnung 8. Nach Lösen der Verriegelung 5 fallen alle Probekugeln gleichzeitig in die Kugelkanäle 4 und bei Vorhandensein einer Kugel 2 abgelenkt durch diese Kugel entlang des Weges I durch die Öffnung 10 in den Ablaufkanal 11 und somit in den Auffangbehälter zur Anzeige der Anzahl der richtigen Lösungen. Andernfalls, wenn keine Kugel 2 an der entsprechenden Stelle ist, fällt die Probekugel entlang des Weges Il durch das Loch 3 in den Ablaufkanal 6 und somit in den Auffangbehälter 7 zur Anzeige der falschen Lösungen. Das Ergebnis des jeweiligen Lösungsversuches vermerkt der Spieler auf geeignete Weise, bspw. durch Aufschreiben bzw. Stecken der gewählten und der Anzahl der richtig ermittelten Kugeln auf einem entsprechenden Steckbrett, und unternimmt unter Berücksichtigung der erzielten Ergebnisse einen neuen Lösungsversuch. Durch das Vorsehen von entsprechenden Öffnungen 12 an der dem Spieler abgewandten Gehäuseseite kann die Lage der Kugeln im Zufallsgenerator bei Bedarf zur Kenntnis genommen werden. Eine weitere Möglichkeit zur Gestaltung der Anordnung besteht im Ersatz der Verriegelung durch eine bistabile Kippvorrichtung des gesamten Spieles. Eine Lage dient zur Aufnahme der Probekugeln, während die andere Lage den Auswertelauf der Probekugeln ermöglicht.According to the basic arrangement according to FIG. 1 as well as according to the cross section of the ball channels according to FIG. 2, a random generator consisting of a space 1, of five similar balls 2, which can be filled through the closable opening 13, and ten holes 3, so designed that the balls 2 are movable in space 1, but post in the rest position in the upper part of the holes 3. Over each hole 3 of the random generator, a ball channel 4 is arranged, which can be locked with a lock 5. The holes of the random generator lead into a drain channel 6, which opens into a collecting container 7. In the upper part of the ball channels 4 are openings 8 for receiving the sample balls 9. A further opening 10 of the ball channels leads to a second outlet channel 11, which also opens into a collecting container. By shaking the assembly, the balls 2 of the random generator are distributed to the holes 3. With the help of test balls 9, the player tries to determine the position of the balls 2. He brings to the places where he suspects a ball 2, a test ball 9 in the corresponding opening 8. After releasing the lock 5 all test balls fall simultaneously in the ball channels 4 and in the presence of a ball 2 deflected by this ball along the path I. through the opening 10 in the flow channel 11 and thus in the collecting container to indicate the number of correct solutions. Otherwise, if no ball 2 at the appropriate location, the sample ball falls along the path Il through the hole 3 in the drain channel 6 and thus in the collecting container 7 to display the wrong solutions. The player notes the result of the respective solution attempt in a suitable manner, for example by writing down or inserting the selected and the number of correctly determined balls on a corresponding breadboard, and undertakes a new attempt at solution taking into account the results achieved. By providing corresponding openings 12 on the side facing away from the player side of the player, the position of the balls in the random number generator can be noted if necessary. Another way to design the arrangement is to replace the lock by a bistable tilting the entire game. One layer serves to receive the sample balls, while the other layer enables the evaluation of the sample balls.

Field of application of the invention

Mechanical logic game with a random generator, which preferably consists of an apparatus with m-balls and with which the determination of a binary code by one or more players. The logic game is suitable for the training of the logical mind as well as entertainment, luck or bet game, whereby by the choice of the difficulty level a large age range of the players is addressed.

Characteristic of the known technical solutions

Known solutions that are used to determine a code, consist in a simple manner of a plug-in device in which a player hidden a specific code is inserted and a second player tries to determine by repeated repetition of the predetermined code with as few steps as possible, after each attempt be represented by his opponent, the number of correctly determined individual points of the predetermined code. The code is coded for example by color plug (.Original Master Mind "from Parker General Mills Inc.), letters (" Word Master Mind "US-PS 4188036 or GB-PS, 1554869) and numbers (" Number Master Mind "). These solutions have the disadvantage of requiring at least two players, as well as delays in the evaluation of the code determined by the coder, and possibly errors. Known solutions in which single players can play against the gaming machine are generally known The device according to DE-OS 2917161 allows, for example, the guessing of words of different levels of difficulty and is equipped with a microprocessor The game device according to DE-OS 3100709 for determining a predetermined by the device two-digit decimal also contains a comprehensive electronic control. The electronic strategy game to WP A63F / 248342-8 allows the determination of a binary code and is m It is equipped with a simple evaluation electronics. The game "Supercup Las Vegas" of the company Parker General Mills Inc., which is equipped with various openings for money, serves to identify those openings that carry the money or plastic discs back out, the openings are tried one after the other and relatively fixed code is present.

Object of the invention

The object of the invention is to provide a logic game that can be played alternately by one person or by several persons on a task and by a very simple mechanical device allows the evaluation of results.

Explanation of the essence of the invention

The object of the invention is to provide a simple mechanical game device, which specifies a binary code, which can be determined by one or more players by repeated targeted questioning of the device, wherein the device in each case the number of correctly or incorrectly determined H or L. Places the code. According to the invention the object is achieved in that a random number generator, preferably consisting of m balls and from η (η Ш m) closable by the balls holes, wherein the number m of the balls can be varied by a suitable measure. By mechanical movement of the arrangement creates a random distribution of the m balls on the arranged in a ball space holes and thus gives a binary code containing m digits of the one and nm locations of the second logical state. The device preferably contains η openings for the input of the binary code to be determined in the form of test balls, which are separated by a mechanical locking of η ball channels. The ball channels lead to the holes of the random generator, which are designed by two different graduated diameters so that the Kugein the random number generator are held in the upper major part of the holes, while the smaller diameter sample balls can pass through the hole. These holes lead into a drainage channel, which opens into a collecting container A second drainage channel with collecting container is arranged so that the sample balls, whose passage of the holes of the random number generator is prevented by the balls of the random number, are collected. After releasing the lock the test balls fall through the ball channels and either through the open holes of the random number in one or deflected by the balls of the random number generator in the other drain channel and thus indicate the number of correctly or incorrectly determined locations of the code. By modifying the collecting container, the display of the result can be variously, for example electrically or optically.
