The present invention relates to a manual . Operable display device that can be rotated in any way can be mounted by housings. Although, the invention

display in a wide variety of other housings can be mounted, such as in pool tables, card tables, Hand-held scoreboards, rings, bracelets u, like

Various types of hit displays are already known. Usually these consist of a display wheel, which

rotatably mounted on odor under a housing and which with a pointer on the case or a

¹¹ It

Opening in the housing cooperates »around one of the displays isolate the indicator wheel that corresponds to the exact number of hits. In most cases this is the hit wheel freely rotatable and there are no blockages to the position of the wheel in relation to the housing and whose pointer or opening to fix »Therefore, the Position of the hit display unintentionally by touch the player with the wheel or by touching the housing can be changed by the player, as can be the case with action games.

In some cases, the indicator wheel engages by friction on the casing or the periphery of the indicating wheel for frictional engagement with a notched elastic extension of the housing, wherein the position of the indicator wheel relative to the housing against unintended encryption

The device will soon be seen "', and the extent II

of the original frictional engagement is high, so is

it is relatively difficult to move the bike in order to carry out the

to twist the required hit changes.

The main object of the invention is the creation of a manually operated indicator element, such as

It

wise a hit display for games, which a display wheel owns, which is mounted in such a way * that a simple, relatively smooth rotation between the preselected positions

is possible and that in any of the preselected positions an inaccurate position can be blocked against unintentional rotation.

Another object of the invention is to provide one new manual display element, which has a display disc which is rotatably mounted in a housing, the wheel and the housing cooperating locking

ir

have facilities that have little or no have no frictional engagement if that The indicator wheel is rotated to a new position, whereby the

Wear can be reduced.

Another object of the invention is to provide a new manual display element, consisting of a rotatable display wheel with a plurality of displays and a plurality of locking mechanisms, as well as a housing _f which has a plurality of interacting locking settings and a device which it allows you to selectively view only one of the displays on the Had when the locking setting of the wheel and the housing are in mutual engagement »

This and other objectives and advantages of the invention can be seen more clearly in the following description of an exemplary embodiment of the hit display according to the invention, which is shown in the accompanying drawing. In the drawing. Shows;

As can be seen from Fig. 2, the wheel 4 is rotatably mounted in the housing 2 on a cylindrical shaft 7 which is fixed with respect to the housing 2 and protrudes perpendicularly therefrom. The shaft 7 is in rotatable engagement in the central sleeve 8 of the wheel 4 and the wheel 4 becomes

The rounded edge or perimeter of the Wheel 4 is also provided with a plurality of grooves 15 in order to present a roughened surface, which the frictional attack of the wheel 4 by the fingertip, during the actuation of the display for -release another display, such as a sequence of numbers. . .

The Pig.

The rib 12 is in a pair of opposite slits 13 printed which together with the central opening 14 form a contiguous Form a slot of such a large size that it can receive the rib 12 in close non-rotatable engagement, with through the spring 9 when pressure is exerted. . ·

The pressure engagement between the housing ippe 12 and the opposite wheel slots 13 prevents unintentional turning of the wheel 4 in the housing 2 by accidental contact or actuation of the housing 2 3 visual display, such as a hit display of a game, by exerting a slight downward or vertical pressure with the finger on the surface of the display wheel 4 through the opening 3, thereby further compressing the spring 9 and the engagement between the rib 12 and the slots 13 releases which movement is accompanied by a slight horizontal pressure in order to rotate the display wheel 4 into a different display position, so that another display becomes visible. At the same time and with the release of the finger pressure, the rib 12 engages in another pair of opposing slots 13, according to the newly exposed display, to the wheel 4 again in its engagement with the housing 2 in the new position _Z u

Due to the ability of the Anssigos disc 4 »out of engagement with the housing.2 during the actuation of the display element being printed completely eliminates, or at least ■ partially, depending on the strength of the expressed by the user Finger pressure, the frictional engagement between the underside of the housing, which is on the rounded lower surface of the Rib 12 is centered. This prevents the contact surfaces from wearing out as much as the pail does would be if you force the wheel 4 in the housing without canceling the normally between the display wheel

and the housing exerted by the coil spring 9 Print would twist. Because the display wheel 4 is out Brought pressure engagement with the lower surface of the housing the rotation of the display wheel 4 facilitated during the setting of a new position.

It goes without saying that all of the features of the above. be ~ described embodiment of the invention are not critical and that modifications can be made, without thereby exceeding the scope of the invention. In the embodiment shown, the housing 2 is a part the injection molded housing of a soccer game. The display wheel 4 can, if desired, be vertical on the side of the housing, whereby e.g. the displays are provided around the outer groove of the display wheel and individually through an opening in the upper surface of the housing appear. Likewise, the whole housing can be in the area next to the top face of the display wheel open, with an an adjacent surface of the housing, for example, a pointer is provided to the appropriate display a.uf the

The arrangement of the locking elements 12 and 13 can be reversed, whereby the protruding part _5, such as the rib 12, on the wheel 4 and the set-back receiving details, such as the slots 13 _? are provided on the housing 2 . A large number of individual protruding parts, such as, for example, pins, can also be provided in place of the ribs 12 and a corresponding number of recessed bores instead of the slots 13 for receiving the pins. Furthermore, it is obvious that a large number of displays, such as numbers _s, can be present on the housing, whereas the display wheel is provided with an indication, for example a pointer, among other things ^: when the wheel is rotated.
