The invention relates to a self-collecting automatic punching machine for betting slips for punching for the counting mechanism of an electric scoring machine determines paper strips for use by people who operate a keyboard after inserting money into the payment slot of a selected bet that acts on a punching mechanism that after each completed drawing of a tip line a punched tape is automatically moved on and at the end of the fourteenth or twelfth tip, one Receipt issued with a registration number.

The main purpose of the invention is simple operation of the automatic punching machine after inserting coins in order to avoid punching errors, and this is achieved by that a wiper contact activated by an inserted coin switches on a contactor coil, one contact of which closes the circuit for a motor and a transparent lamp and the other Contact signal lamp via resistors to voltage, for the purpose of marking the to be actuated Button light up weakly and after the closure of a contact caused by the actuated button show the completed selected tips through full luminosity.

It is extremely easy to use, as only buttons need to be pressed. The entire automatic is housed in a lockable housing that resembles a small cash register. There are fifteen pushbuttons in a horizontal row on the front panel according to the tip

709 524/22

splitting a betting slip. Above it are fifteen signal lights for control and one from the inside Illuminated pane of glass with an exchangeable list of the playing clubs behind it arranged.

After inserting a coin into the relevant slot for the selected bet (ner, o, er or iier and ger, hereinafter referred to as A, B, and C) the transparency and the signal lamps light up

ίο (nine pieces for A, six pieces for B or fifteen pieces for C) on with simultaneous colored marking of the line of the game i. Now the indicated buttons can be pressed of your choice, whereby the lamp of the pressed button lights up brighter and shows that the tip is finished. After the third tip at A, the second at B or the fifth at C, the line for "Game 2" appears in colored lighting and the punching can be continued Registration number is issued and the signal lamps including the transparent lighting switch off. The wound up betting slips for the evaluation and a second copy as a document remain in the machine. The keys are mutually interlocked, ie double punching in a tip column cannot occur, which means operating errors or fraudulent intent impossible.
The transfer of issued tickets to

the punched tape is done in the same way, but without inserting money, by using some keys that are otherwise locked. To put the machine into operation, button A, B or C is pressed depending on the bet placed.

The issued, perforated receipt is placed on the issued ticket for checking, and the crosses must be visible in the holes. If a typing error has arisen, the one for this is the one that is available To press the button, which also punches two more holes, which a counting mechanism during the evaluation influence that takes this error into account. About a non-stop operational readiness of the machine To ensure that, after 1000 bets have been placed, a role change occurs automatically. Of the Of course, this happens under lock and key, and the drawn roles along with cash receipts are rotated and taken at the end of the day by agents of the betting company. A built-in The timer enables bets to be placed before the start of the game and sets the machine to the stipulated one Time out of order. A counter is provided for every money slot, which is used to monitor the amount of money given Betting slips and the money collected are permitted. Money is thrown in during the role change locked until the switchover is complete. In the event of a power failure caused by a Indicator is displayed, it is also not possible to insert money and the lock can after the voltage has been restored, they can only be canceled while the machine is being revised at the same time. The installation of the machine in the acceptance points relieves the staff and, if in public Bars that are not tied to any shop closing times can place bets in this form an increase in sales should also be expected. The conversion of the previous betting system The mechanization described offers numerous advantages and allows a considerable one Lower operating costs.

In the drawings Fig. 1 to 12 is an embodiment of the invention shown.

Fig. 1 shows the money slot and the contacts for commissioning. The operating current is from a rectifier that is connected to the lighting network. The one thrown into the slot 2 The coin passes a known testing device 3 and is actuated as it passes through the channel 4 the switching lever 5 to the collecting container. The wiper contact 6 switches the relay 33 (Fig. 12) for the first step and the wiper contact 7, the contactor coil 8.

In Fig. 2 the closure of the money slot is shown in a side view and top view in the de-energized state. Under the insertion slots 2 is the angled leg of the rotatably mounted armature 15, which is attracted by the energized coil 16 when it is ready for operation, whereby a helical spring is tensioned, which is used to move the armature backwards. When changing roles, the -j- -Pole of coil 16 (Fig. 12) is interrupted by contact 146, and the falling armature 15 closes the money slot until contact 159 ″ (Fig. 11) switches the circuit again after the switch is complete has closed. In the event of malfunctions in the power supply, the armature 17 of the zero voltage coil 18 drops out, removes the latching of the signal disk 19, and this becomes visible behind a window in the position shown in FIG. 2. At the same time, the anchor 15 has closed the money slot. When the voltage returns, the signal disc 19 is rotated into the basic position by means of a socket wrench. In this way, the momentary contact 20 is closed, which sends a current pulse to the zero voltage coil 18 and applies it to the + -! Pole via the self-holding contact 21. The money slot is unlocked again by the anchor 15. If the malfunction occurred during the punching, the locked button 22 of the interrupted bet is pressed and thus the machine is switched on again.

The lamp 23 (Fig. 12) is used to illuminate the operating instructions. The timer 24 has a 7-day walker, which enables the power to be switched off at a set time. The counter 25 has a step count that is excited by an electromagnet.

Fig. 4 illustrates the mechanism in plan view without the punching device, Fig. 5 shows the Side view of the same with the punching device and Fig. 12 the overall circuit diagram of the machine, which is drawn as a circuit diagram for bet C.

After the money was inserted, the contactor coil 8 was attracted to the contact 7 and remains through the Latching contact 9 under tension. The contact 10 switches the motor 26 and the transparent lamp 28 a. The light from this lamp comes through the reflector

29 thrown onto the endless transparent tape 30, which is covered by the exchangeable glass window 32 on which the game partners are recorded will. At the same time as contact 7, contact 6 was closed and this gave an impulse to the magnetic coil 33, which attracts the armature 36 of the step coupling, and via its self-holding contact 34 remains under tension. The fork-shaped end of the armature 36 engages in the groove of the clutch disk 37 a, which rotates on the shaft of the mating coupling 38 and by means of a cord from the cord pulley 27 of the motor 26 is driven. The attracted armature 36 presses the clutch disk 37 on the counter disk 38, and its pin 39 touches the stop 40 · the push rod 41, whereby this so is raised far until the pawl 43 located on the lever 42 in a tooth of the twenty Teeth equipped ratchet wheel 44 is engaged. When this path is finished, the thrust

ao rod 41 the contact 45, the solenoid 33 is de-energized, releases the attracted armature 36, and this releases the clutch. Now the push rod 41 is pulled into the rest position by the spring 47, and this backward movement causes the ratchet wheel to rotate about one tooth.

The ratchet wheel 44 sets the transport roller 48 gradually in rotation, the pins 49 of which into the perforation of the two superimposed paper strips 50 engage and these over the guide rollers Unwind 51, 52, 53 and 54 from roller 55. The rollers 56 and 57, which are self-winding take up the perforated strips individually. The rollers 55, 56 and 57 can be removed from their storage remove.

After this first step, which was initiated by the contact 6 by inserting money, repeated the same process is repeated four times, but the solenoid 33 receives the current pulse from the contact the control roller 58 attached to the transport roller 48 receives. During the backward movement of the Push rod 41, the cam of the control disk 58 has closed its contact. When the push rod 41 has returned to its rest position, it closes the contact 46, which opened during the upward movement was, and the magnetic coil 33 receives a pulse from the contact 58, attracts the armature 36, holds via contact 34, the push rod is tightened, contact 46 opens, the push rod opens the contact 45, and the coil is de-energized.

After a total of five steps, the cam of the control disk 58 has expired from its contact, and the cam 58 _a has closed its contact. The magnetic coil 59 attracts the armature 61, which presses a known registration stamp 62 onto the paper strip. Here, the contact 60 closes the circuit of the solenoid 33, and this couples to the sixth step. After completion of the same, the cam of the control disk 58 _{a has} expired from its contact, and now the paper strips have reached the position for receiving the first perforation.

The steering wheel 44 ,, has the transport roller 63 in the

offset the same revolutions, and this conveyed by means of its resilient counter roller 64 of the Roller 65 running cardboard strip 66 to the punching device. The one on the shaft of the transport roller 63 The located gear 67 sets the intervertebral disc 69 with its counter disc 70 in motion via the gear 68, and thus the colored field 31 of the conveyor belt 30 gets under after the sixth step the line of the partners of game 1 and inevitably moves on fourteen times and shows that in each case the hole in the hole.

The sequence of the A bet is done as follows: the contact 11 (Fig. 12) of the contactor coil 8 switches the + pole via the resistors 71-71 to the signal lamps _Ä 72-72 ^, which light up weak. The button 73 (Fig. 6) with its switching finger 74 is guided in the cover plate 1 and in the plate 75 and is held in the basic position by the compression spring 76. The switching rod 77 has a pressure leg 78, the unlocking lug 79 and the locking lug 80, moves in the guides 81 and 82 and is held in the basic position by the compression spring 83. Pressing the button 73 is transmitted to the switching rod 77, the switching pin of which opens the contacts 84 and 85, which interrupt the pole of the two other unlocking coils 90 of the same tip and thus prevent two or three buttons from being pressed at the same time, as the armature 91 the nose 79 locks. The individually pressed switch rod has closed the contact 86, which now puts its own unlocking coil under tension, which attracts its armature 91 and thus releases the lock. Now the locking lug 80 passes the armature 92 of the locking coil 93, and only then does the leg 78 press on the double-armed lever 94, the linkage 95 of which moves the toggle lever 96, which depresses the perforation mandrel 97 (FIG. 5). Fifteen such piercing mandrels are located in a horizontal row above the vertical punching plate 98, which is provided with corresponding punching holes. The paper webs 50 and 66 are located between the punching mandrels and the punching plate and receive the selected holes. Simultaneously with the punching, the contacts 87 and 88 have been closed by the switching rod 77. The contact 87 bridges the resistor 71, gives the associated signal lamp 72 full voltage, and this indicates the perforated tip by its bright light. The contact 88 closes the loop 88 to 88 _h .

When the perforation is complete, the button is released, the switching rod 77 is blocked by the armature 92, while the button 73 returns to its rest position and closes the contact 89 that was open up to that point. After the shift rod 77 has retreated, the perforation linkage 95 is brought into the basic position by the spring 99 and the perforation mandrel by the spring 100. If now, in example A, the contact 89 closes after the third perforation, then there is a current flow from the contact 10 through all the inactive contacts 89 to 89 ,, as well as the three contacts 88 closed by the locked switching rod 77 and the contact 12 _{b of} the at rest contactor coil 8 _b to the magnetic coil 33 instead, which causes the next step. The contact 35 of the coil 33 switches the —Pole to the locking

coils 93. The three coils connected to + attract, and their armature 92 lift the locking of the shift rods 77, which means that the three brightly lit signal lamps 72 also appear weaker again. After the fourteenth game has been punched, a wiper contact 585 gets through from its control disk the pushrod 41, which is at rest, emits a short pulse, the magnet coil 101 thus excited (Fig. 4) holds itself through its contact 102 and attracts the armature 103. This acts on the clutch 104 like already described, the bevel gear 105 sets in motion, which via the bevel gear 106 the intervertebral disc 107 drives and this sets the belt 109 lying on the counter pulley 108 in motion. The tape 109 (Fig. 10) is with the stop cam 110, the ball catch in and the cutting blade 112 equipped. the Ball 113, which is located in the sleeve 115 by the Compression spring 114 is pressed into the notch in, causes the tape 109 to be held in place. At the same time as the magnetic coil 101, the magnetic coil 116 (Fig. 5) obtained tension, which attracts the armature 117, whereby this with its broadened leg, shown in Fig. 8, presses on the cardboard strip 66 and thus holds it during the punching. When the punching is complete, the cam 110 (Fig. 10) opens the contact 118 and the contact 119 closed. Contact 118 makes coils 101 and 116 de-energized, the falling armature 103 uncoupled, and the ball 113 locks into place. The anchor 117 also goes back to its rest position.

The wiper contact 119 has given an impulse to the magnet coil 120 (Fig. 4), which is kept under tension via its contact 121, attracts the armature 122, which then presses the coupling 123 against the mating disk 24. This disk 124 is mounted on the shaft of the ejector roller 125, has a wedge-shaped bracket 126 which is pivotably arranged above the ejector roller and the leg of which rotates on the opposite stub shaft. The ejector roller 125 has a hood 127 into which the cardboard strip 66 protrudes after the twentieth step. The coupled disk 124 pivots the bracket 126, the wedge-shaped bar of which clamps the cardboard strip 66 into the hood 127, then takes the ejector roller 125 with it and thereby pulls the cardboard strip 66 that has been cut off earlier. After one revolution, the cardboard strip has placed itself on the roller 125, the control disc 128 (Fig. 4 and 9), which has rotated with it, opens the contact 129, this switches off the contactor coil 8, and thus the motor 26, the transparent lamp 28 and the signal lamps 72 to 72 _{Ä de} -energized. The control disk 128, which also acts as a brake disk, is held in the rest position by the locked ball 131 in such a way that the hood 127 is ready to receive the next cardboard strip. After the roller 125 has come to a standstill, the bracket 126 falls under its own weight, releases the cardboard strip 66, and this falls into an output channel (not shown here).

In bet B , the contactor coil 8 _{a has} tightened after the money has been inserted, the signal lamps 72j to 72 o light up, and the process described in example A is repeated up to the twelfth hole, equivalent to the eighteenth step. Now the control disk 58 _c closes its contact. The withdrawn push rod 41 closes the contact 46, this switches on the magnet coil 33 via contact 12 of the contactor coil 8 and contact 58, and this causes the nineteenth step. Since the contact 58 ,, is still closed, the last step is carried out in the same way, and after this the wiping contact 585 initiates the further process as already described under example A. According to the eighteenth step, the control disc has opened 58 ^ their contact and the contact 11 _a of the contactor coil 8 _O to the signal lamp 72, - interrupted to 72 "and the contacts 86j to 86 _O + pole connected. The money slot for bet C has actuated the contactor coil 8 ₆ , and this circuit is shown in Fig. 12 as a circuit diagram up to the moment when five holes have been made, but the break contact 89 ^ is not yet closed. If betting slips issued are transferred by agents of the betting company, the corresponding, locked contact 21 is pressed, which switches on the machine without inserting money. If a typing error has occurred, the locked button 132 (Fig. 7) is pressed, which actuates the double-armed lever 133, which moves the toggle lever 135 via the linkage 134 and the toggle lever 137 via the linkage 136. These two toggle levers press on the punching pins assigned to them, which punch two additional holes in the paper strips, which influence the counting mechanism of the evaluation machine, which makes the typing error appear to be a false indication.

Fig. 10 shows the switching mechanism for changing roles. With every revolution of the cutting belt 109 engages the stop cam 110 in the open Spokes of a wheel 138, the gear of which is the transmission gear 13g with its built-on control disk 140 moves. The gear ratio of the gearbox 139 is 1: 125 times 8 spokes = 1000. If Now the cutting tape has cut 1000 betting slips, then the control disk 140 has one revolution made, and the notch 141 located in the control disk causes the contact 142 to close. This contact switches the direct + pole to contact 130, which would otherwise be closed when de-energized has, however, now that the thousandth note has been issued, the solenoid 143 (Fig. 11 and 12) turns on via its contact 144 itself holds. Contact 145 connects the direct + pole and contact 147 connects the direct —pole the motor 26, while the contact 146 'breaks the + pole of the coil 116. Lies parallel to the coil 143 the coil 148, which attracts the armature 150, which releases the latching of the carriage 151, which with Laterally mounted rack on the rail 152 is arranged to be movable. The solenoid 143 pulls the Armature 153, which presses the clutch disc 154 against the bevel gear 155, which via the bevel gear 156 the shaft 157 rotates, the gear 158 of which goes into the rack 152 engages and moves the carriage 151.

The carriage pulls its entire structure, including die 98 and registration die 62, laterally away from the fixed die and the glass window 32 and moves its second mechanism, with the same reference numerals but with the index "a." , With the paper strips ready for receipt to the same place.

When the carriage has reached its home position, the armature 150 latches the same, the contact 159 opens and switches the coils 143 and 148 off. Upon extension of the carriage, the contact has closed I59 _e, and the contacts 100, 161, 163 and open the 163rd When the trolley drives in, the contacts i6o ₀ , i6i ", iÖ2 _o and 163" are closed and thus set the second mechanism ready for operation. If a malfunction occurs in the system that is in operation, a change of roles can be initiated by means of the button 149 located under lock.
