An electrical impulse is supplied to magnets 163, (if the electromagnet generates a tensile force via a fork piece 190 and a connecting pin 191, it exerts a tensile force on a lever 189, so that this lever is pivoted around a detached pin 192 · The pin 192 is fixed in a Built-in bracket 193, which in turn is fastened to a base plate 194. The electromagnet 163 can thus actuate the free end 189A of the lever 189. This lever is biased in the opposite direction by a torsion spring 195 so that the lever then, when it strives To return to its original position, such a movement of the lever is prevented by an extension 196A at the lower end of a further lever 196; the lever 196 is mounted on a pin 197 which is firmly built into the bracket 193.

^U is the fog lifted with its rear end 189A of the lever extension 196A, the free end of the lever 196 is retracted by a spring 199 against a stop pin 198th The end 196C of the lever 196 is moved in such a way that it cooperates with the pins 188, but through which the fog 196 is not moved so far that the lever 189 comes into effect again? the lever 196 is in contact with an actuating pin 201 of a switch 202 so that each pin 188 can actuate this switch. The last pin 200 on the payout quadrant 187 has a larger diameter than the pins 188, so that the pin 200 can move the lever 196 ao far that the lever 189 at its end 189A again cooperates with the lever extension 196A and so through the lever 196 is locked.

The disbursement shaft 183 also carries cams 203 and 204 'which are connected to the shaft in a rotationally fixed manner; the protrusions 203A and 204A of the cams 203 and 204 can roll according to Pig, 13 Press 205 and 206 down, which are mounted on levers 207 and 208 to operate switches 209 and 210.

As already mentioned, the switch 54 closes a circuit in order to switch on the main motor 55, thus a working cycle is started. The device is then put into operation when, as shown in FIG. 16, an electromagnet 163X by the Switch 54 is actuated and pulls lever 189 to release lever 196, with switch 202X closed to turn on the main motor 55. In this case, the payout quadrant 187 is through one on the payout wave 183 replaced arm 215, by which the lever 196 is not reset, namely by the fact that the strut lever 189 can come into effect again until the shaft 183 has covered one revolution; the shaft 183 then comes to rest in such a way that arm 215 has just passed nose 196C of lever 196 so that the lever can swing forward when the slide switch 54 in the manner already described by the back

running ball 50 is closed.

slide 216 of the chosen betting aggregate bearing the numbers and winnings the player wants to bet on. The selection unit can be of known construction or it can correspond to the description given below. For the purposes of the present description it will be assumed that coins will be introduced into the betting aggregates, but they will a token has the same effect as a coin.

The coin 150 comes according to Pig. 17 to rest at 212 since it touches an arm 217 attached to one by a spring 220 in the direction of arrow V prestressed, slidably mounted rod or rail 228 is attached. An electromagnet 211 with a core 221 is arranged so that when a pulse is applied to the electromagnet, the core 221 is inwardly is pulled; with the help of a tab 222, fromverbindatifteh 223 and 224 and a forked lever 225 with a The pin 226 built into the actuating rod 218 moves the rail 218 against the arrow V, so that the arm 217 is removed from the path of the coin held at 212 to cause the coin to drop and a switch actuator arm 164A to operate the coin switch 164, whereupon the coin comes to rest at 213 on an arm 227 attached to the rail 228. The rail 228 is operated in the same way as the rail 218 by an electromagnet 214 to move the coin held at 213 to release.

When the coin 150 is released by the arm 227, it slides down an inclined surface 229 to then move into a container 230 to drop once that container is filled

the coin continues to move until it falls into a second container 231; if this second container is also full, the coin is fed through a slide to a cash drawer. Each of the betting aggregates shown here comprises two coin containers 230 and 231, but each 'Vettaggregat could also be provided with only one container, apart from the aggregate or the aggregates which serve to pay out the profit for the number zero or the profit of 35si , because with these units you need a second container and a payout mechanism as a reserve, with a suitable switching mechanism, not shown here, being provided to put the second container into operation as soon as the first container has been emptied. If one equips most betting units with only one container, one can easily accommodate five betting units in a housing which has such dimensions that it could accommodate four betting units with two coin containers each. A slightly larger case can hold six betting units, and twelve of these larger cases could be arranged in the form of a circular ring with the roulette wheel in the center of this arrangement for easy viewing by all players. Apart from the restrictions imposed by the respective spatial conditions, there is no restriction with regard to the number of betting units that can be arranged around a single roulette wheel.

can exercise is on each betting unit on a stand 251 arranged; Such an electromagnet is assigned to each coin container. In Figs. 17 and 18, there are only the electromagnets 232 shown, which are assigned to the middle aggregate, but it should be noted that in practice two betting aggregates such electromagnets are provided. The lever 234 is mounted on a pin 238 built into an extension 239.

The other end of the angle lever 234 is biased by a spring 241 against a stop screw 240; on the the spring adjacent end of the bell crank is on one Pin 242 a slide 243 mounted for ejecting coins. The slide 243 is by a spring 245 against a below of the coin container 231 arranged base plate 244 pretensioned.

On the front and back of each coin holder adjustable plates 246 and 247 are arranged which can be adjusted in the desired manner so that it by installing an ejector slide of suitable thickness is possible, each time the electromagnet 232 is actuated, one to throw two or three coins. Such plates 246 and 247 are also provided for all other coin containers, by means of whose winnings are to be paid out. An arm 248 is attached to the rail 228 to ensure that all Coins that accumulate above a filled container 230 are moved further; a similar arrangement can be made Provide for the coin container 231 if such reserve containers be used.

Each individual betting unit works in the manner described above; rails 218 and 228 and their actuation means are common to all units combined in one housing, i.e. one of the rails 218 and 228 each extends along all units housed in a housing.

The drive mechanism for the roulette wheel can comprise a timing device and means associated therewith, which make it possible when a ball 5? 0 to rest on one of the tips between the openings 69 of the roulette wheel comes to give the wheel 76 after a predetermined period of time a small angular movement to the ball in the to drop the opening in question, thus ensuring that the ball touches the slide view holder and the main slide switch operated so that the next work cycle is initiated. These means of moving the wheel come during the normal operation of the roulette wheel mechanism to effect; a modified cam 203 for operating such a timing device is shown in Figures HA and 14B. The cam plate 203 includes a protrusion 203A, and on a flat side the cam disk is provided with a protrusion 203C with a gap 2O3B. A timing device is located near the protrusion 203C 260, which comprises a rotatable disc 261 to which a pawl 262 is attached. The pawl 262 can be swiveled into the gap 203B, at a speed that differs from the speed of rotation the disk 261 directs; this rotational speed is in turn determined by the time control device 260. If the

909887/0023 bathroom original

- 29 - 1A-32 271

Pawl 262 pivoted a certain amount into gap 203B has been, namely after a predetermined period of time, the disc 261 has rotated so far that a pin 263 built into the disk actuates a switch 264, and that after a further very short period of time a second switch 265 is operated. Upon the subsequent rotation of the cam 203, the pawl 262 and the Timer 260 reset by protrusion 203C.

In the coin selector shown in FIGS. 22 to 26, the coin 150 as shown in FIG. 22 enters the Y / counter through an opening A and falls down to then roll down a guide B which is inclined downward. The selector is arranged so that it forms an angle of about 20 ° with the vertical as shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, so that the guide B is also inclined laterally so that the coin rolling down along the guide is tilted sideways to itself on the adjacent surface of a fixed plate G. The plate C has two openings D and E on. A bar 280 is connected to the plate C along the top of the opening D by means of two countersunk screws 284. According to FIG. 26, an upper rail is rotatably supported on the bar 280 by means of a pin 281, and a stop pin 283 is provided to ensure that the lower edge G of the rail 282 is held in a position parallel to the guide B. The lower edge G protrudes into the opening D and, together with the guide B, forms a gauge for measuring the coin diameter. Each coin 150A _f whose durometer is too small, falls according to FIG. 24 duroh the

909887/0023

H74721

- 30 - 1A-32 271

Opening D in a carriage P, so that it is fed via an outlet opening R to a return area, not shown here. When the rejected coin 150A falls through the opening D, its effective diameter increases by a small amount due to the tilting movement of the coin, and when the coin falls through the opening it moves the rail 282 upward so that the coin does not jam can.

According to Pig. 25 a second opening E is provided over the too thin coins 15OB can be ejected again. Immediately opposite the opening E is the coin guide B with a lateral recess J is provided so that, as shown in FIG. 23, there is a narrow gap near the surface of the plate C, so that a coin 150B that is too thin can fall through the gap formed by the recess J and the opening E, while a coin 150 of the correct thickness will still be supported by guide B as the width of the recess J is less than the thickness of a good coin. The opening E is therefore only provided in plate C of the meter so that there is a margin for a coin which is rejected because of its insufficient thickness, and thus such a coin can fall into the chute P in order to be ejected via the outlet opening R again.

A ferrous disk that is of the same dimensions as a good coin can be rejected by deflecting it from the normal path of an acceptable coin. _{In other words, a disk S moving according to FIG. 1} along the guide B is influenced by a magnet K, ^ r 1 ^ gm ^ FIGS. 22 and 25 above the guide

UT4721

- 31 - 1A-32 271

B and is laterally offset from the guide, so that the disk S Jm influenced by the lag is moved laterally away from the selector plate C; the The kinetic energy of the disk S then causes the disk to pass into a second chute L, which is also shown in FIG. 23 leads to the outlet opening R.

If the coin 150 proves to be correct, it falls from the end of the guide B at T downwards until it reaches the one at 15OC Assumes indicated position in a dispensing slot M of the voter, being supported by a pin N, which normally protrudes laterally into the slot, but is withdrawn can be used to keep the coin falling. Thereafter, each additional acceptable coin 150D moves to the Passing the guide B over the top of the coin 150C captured in the slot M to an opening P in the window of the voter and then to be fed to the already mentioned return bag. At a predetermined time while the game machine is being operated, the pin N is withdrawn from the coin 150C so that the coin the in Fig. 17 at 212 indicated position.

From the above description it can be seen that the coin selector is adapted to the various sizes of coins apart from the pin N, no movable file can be included.

An electromagnet K1 also shown in FIG. 27 can be seen in FIG. 22. This second magnet K1 is only used when the voter rejects ordinary coins and

909887/0023 bad original

- 32 - 4-A-32 271

should only accept certain stamps. Such a stamp S1 is a disk made of one Non-ferrous material, which has an insert made of ferrous material (iron or steel) in the middle, or around a Disc made entirely of another alloy that has the same magnetic properties as one Disc made of ferrous material with an insert made of ferrous material. Should the voter only accept stamps, disks S made of ferrous material are rejected even if they have the same dimensions as the stamps, since they are influenced by the magnet K. Iron-free discs or coins are neither used by the magnet K nor influenced by the magnet K1, i.e. they are neither held back nor deflected, but their kinetic energy causes them to pass through the opening P to the outlet opening R. In the event that the voter should accept tokens, it should be noted that the lower edge of the opening P is arranged lower, so that iron-free ones not influenced by the magnet K1 Discs or coins pass through the exit opening R.

The player would be instructed to insert a token into a table aggregate while the Roulette wheel is still turning, the electromagnet KI being switched on at the same time, so that the inserted value of the Magnet is held in place. The electromagnet K1 is switched off shortly before the end of the rotation of the roulette wheel, so that the token can fall into the chute M in the manner described above with respect to the coins up to its release is recorded.

It is assumed that a complete operation or a "game" has been initiated by a ball 50 which, in the course of the game process, moves the arm 53 of the main slide switch 54 happened to complete the circuit controlled by switch 54 and actuate electromagnet 163X, so that the lever 196 is released to close the switch 202X and so turn on the main motor 55 so that the Output shaft 57 of the gearbox and arm 59 are rotated.

The nose 6OA of the pawl 60 engages in the cutout 63 of the drive pulley 64 and rotates the disc until the pawl is disengaged by the pin 81. This means that the roulette wheel 76 is only during one half of the working game the device rotates; it should be noted, however, that because of the gear ratio between the pinion 66 and the Drive gear 65 makes the roulette wheel 76 several complete revolutions during this half of the working game, and that the wheel 76 is stationary only during the second half of the working cycle.

At the beginning of the working cycle, the roller 86 moved down a ramp away from the projection of the cam 82 in order to bring the nose 92A of the stop pawl out of engagement with the nose 94A of the lever 94. The strut 98 prevents _? that the roulette wheel 76 rotates in the opposite direction so that the wheel stops until the pawl 60 engages in the cutout 63 or 63A of the drive disk 64, whereby the rotation of the roulette wheel is initiated during the mentioned half of the working game. Kura before the end of the previous work cycle »would have been squatting

82 actuates fiolle 86 so that nose 92A of the stop pawl was locked because of the cooperation of the roller 86 with the projection of the Uockens 82.

Furthermore, at the beginning of the working cycle, one of the balls 50 lies on the cap 121 of the rod 120, as shown in FIG. at A is indicated. This ball can be moved upwards within the socket 75 by rotating the cam 83 to lift the rod 120 so that the ball is ejected when it reaches its position in the center of the roulette wheel 76 indicated at B in FIG Game is brought. After the rod 120 has maintained this position for a short time, it is returned to its lowest position, with the Becner 122 being pulled down to pick up the next ball, as indicated at C in FIG. A reserve ball 50 already assumes the position indicated in I). The first reserve ball 50, which is located in the main slide 52, rolls on the inclined surface of the head 132A of the rod 132, and the cam 83 causes this ball to be brought from its position at E into the position indicated at F, whereupon the Ball automatically rolls down over the inclined bottom surface of a lateral receiving opening 136 in order to assume the position indicated at D. The so arranged at D ball 50 immediately rolls into the .Becher 122, and after a short stay in this position, the upward movement of the rod 120 begins again. Here, the cup 122 touches the stop 124 at the lower end of the socket 75 · The rod and the Cap 121 continue to move upward while cup 122 is retained so that ball 50 is within

the bushing 75 is moved upwards until it reaches the position indicated at A. Location has reached; A working cycle of the device is now ended; it should be noted that after completion of a work cycle there is one ball at E1 and one at A.

At the beginning of the work game, i.e. before the roulette wheel 76 begins to spin, the hell 138 moves from one short rest portion of the cam 137 from up to an immediately adjacent projection; this movement of the role 138 causes a brief rotation of the roulette wheel 76 in a manner to be explained below. The roller 138 then moves longitudinally an inclined surface of the cam 137 down, so that the lever nose 143A is lifted from the extension 152, so that the locking disc 147 can turn a short distance to close the Kugelauf naluneöffe η 69 of the wheel 76, - ^ he Lever 143 remains in this in fig. 2 position shown in solid lines at a distance from the 152 until the end of the working cycle is reached, whereupon the roller 138 moves along an inclined surface of the cam 137 runs upwards, after which the mechanism comes to rest after the Veil 57 has made one revolution, since according to FIG. arm 215 resets fog 196 so that the roll 138 is located on the short section of the cam 137. This latter movement of the roller 138 causes the lever 143 is pivoted around its nose 143A on the extension 152 attack so that the locking disc 147 is rotated counterclockwise until the pins 148 to Plant at the ends of the slots of the locking disk 147 come so that the ball in play, which meanwhile

909887/0023 B ^{AD 0R! GlNAL}

- 36 - 1A-32 271

normally come to rest on the table 153, assumes a position from which they enter one of the openings 69 can, in order to then be picked up by a slide that is assigned to a specific switch unit, which is is in alignment with the ball receiving opening of the stopped wheel 76.

The ball in play falls into one of the shafts 154 according to FIG. 7 or into the shaft 173 according to FIG. 12, and while she is passing the shafts to get to the main slide 52, she operates the various already described, switches arranged in the shafts and, of course, also switch 54.

The brief rotation of the roulette wheel 76 is caused by the fact that the roller 138 of the short rest portion of the Cam 137 is moved upward to the immediately adjacent projection of the cam. This movement of the roller 138 causes another pivoting of the ^ level 14-3, so that the Closure disk 147 is rotated further counterclockwise. Since the pins 148 are already the ends of the slots of the Touch the locking disc 147, this further rotation of the locking disc is transmitted to the roulette wheel 76, which thus against the normal direction of rotation, i.e. counterclockwise, The retractable is rotated by a small amount Component 98A of strut 98 permits such movement of the roulette wheel.

When the ball in play is on one of the tips should remain between the openings 69 of the wheel 76

H74721

- 37 - 1A-32 271

and does not enter one of the openings 69 when it is used for the Picking up the ball are opened, the use of the timing device shown in Figs. 14A and 14B enables cause a brief rotation of the wheel independently after a predetermined period of time has elapsed to the To cause the ball to enter one of the openings 69.

The mechanism comes to rest after one revolution of the shaft, the crouch 203 being in Pig. 14A shown Takes position. When the pawl 262 moves into the gap 203B, the switch 264 becomes first and then the switch actuated. The motor 55 is switched on by the switch 264, while the motor is switched off by the switch 265 will. The motor 55 only works for a very short time, which is sufficient to turn the cam 137 so far that that the hollow 138 can get from the rest portion of the cam 137 to the projection thereof, whereupon the motor is stopped will. The roulette wheel 76 is thus briefly rotated in order to displace the ball so that it can be in one of the openings 69 falls, in order to then initiate the next work cycle by actuating the switch 54; during this next work cycle the movement of the roller 138 begins of course from the projection of the cam 137 with the pawl 262 returned is.

The period of time required for the pawl 262 to enter 203B in the gap, so that the switches 264 and 265 operated after the mechanism has come to rest, should be greater than the time required for a ball in play to in the normal way in a
