Abstract

The invention relates to a device for withdrawing money from gaming machines. The coin-collecting container 3 on the machine is designed as a discharge device 2 which is connected to a counter 5 and to an on/off switch 23. The on/off switch 23 is designed as a key-operated switch. After the on/off switch 23 has been actuated, the coin-collecting container 3 designed at the same time as a discharge device pays a specific number of coins recorded by the counter 5 into a dispensing shell 32 or a coin-collecting funnel 14. Since the on/off switch 23 can be activated from outside and the recording of the discharged number of coins is carried out in the gaming machine 1, the latter does not have to be put out of operation in order to withdraw the coins. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Geldentnahme aus Geldspielgeräten, mit einem mit einem Zählwerk verbundenen als Auswurfeinrichtung ausgebildeten geräteseitigen Geldsammelbehälter, der aus einer vorgegebenen Anzahl münzspezifischer Münzschächte besteht, die eingangsseitig über einen Einlaufverteiler mit einem an dem Gerätegehäuse ausgebildeten Münz-Einwurfschlitz und ausgangsseitig mit jeweils einer Münzauswurfeinrichtung verbunden sind, deren Ausgänge einem Münzsammeltrichter oder einer Ausgabeschale zugeordnet sind wobei den Münzschächten eine Füllstandanzeigeeinrichtung zugeordnet ist.The invention relates to a device for withdrawing money from gaming machines, with a device-side money collecting container connected to a counter and designed as an ejection device, which consists of a predetermined number of coin-specific coin chutes, the input side of which has a coin insertion slot formed on the device housing and the output side each having one Coin ejecting devices are connected, the outputs of which are assigned to a coin collecting funnel or an output tray, a level indicator being assigned to the coin chutes.

Bei heute bekannten Automaten wird das Geld dadurch entnommen, daß nach Öffnen des Gerätes das in einem Kassenbehälter angesammelte Geld in periodischen Abständen entnommen wird. Hierzu muß der Betrieb des jeweiligen Automaten meist für längere Zeit unterbrochen werden, um die Entnahme durchzuführen. Außerdem können nur bestimmte, mit der Abrechnung vertraute, Personen hiermit beauftragt werden.In machines known today, the money is withdrawn in that after opening the device, the money accumulated in a cash box is removed at periodic intervals. For this purpose, the operation of the respective machine usually has to be interrupted for a long time in order to carry out the removal. In addition, only certain persons familiar with billing can be commissioned to do this.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, mittels derer die Geldentnahme ohne den Automaten zu öffnen, jederzeit und durch jeden Beauftragten durchgeführt werden kann.The object of the invention is to provide a device by means of which the withdrawal of money without opening the machine can be carried out at any time and by any authorized person.

Erfindungsgem. erfolgt die Lösung der Aufgabe dadurch, daß an dem Münzsammelbehälter eine Spannvorrichtung zur lösbaren Halterung eines Beutels oder dergleichen zur Münzaufnahme und eine Klippvorrichtung zum Verschließen des Beutels angeordnet ist, und daß zwischen jedem Elektromotor einer Münzauswurfeinrichtung und dem Stellglied ein jeweils einem Elektromotor zugeordneter gegebenenfalls als Schlüsselschalter ausgebildeter Ein-/Ausschalter zugeordnet ist, wobei die Münzauswurfeinrichtungen mit einem Zählwerk verbunden sind, das mit einem Geldscheinwechsler verbunden ist, der über einen Wechselregler mit dem Stellglied in Verbindung steht. Nach Betätigen des Schalters zahlt der gleichzeitig als Auswurfvorrichtung ausgebildete Geldsammelbehälter eine bestimmte, vom Zählwerk registrierte, Anzahl Münzen in eine Ausgabeschale. Da der Schalter von außen betätigt werden kann und die Registrierung der ausgeworfenen Anzahl von Münzen im Geldspielgerät 1 erfolgt, braucht dieses für diesen Vorgang nicht außer Betrieb gesetzt werden, und die Münzentnahme kann somit jederzeit durch jede beauftragte Person erfolgen. So können beispielsweise Aufsichtspersonen in Spielhallen, auch wenn sie nicht zur Abrechnung befugt sind, sich jederzeit mit dem nötigen Wechselgeld aus den vorhandenen Automaten versorgen.According to the invention. the object is achieved in that a clamping device for releasably holding a bag or the like for receiving coins and a clip device for closing the bag is arranged on the coin collecting container, and that between each electric motor of a coin ejecting device and the actuator, one associated with an electric motor, optionally as a key switch trained on / off switch is assigned, the coin ejection devices being connected to a counter which is connected to a bill changer which is connected to the actuator via a changeover regulator. To When the switch is actuated, the money collecting container, which is also designed as an ejection device, pays a certain number of coins registered by the counter into an output tray. Since the switch can be operated from the outside and the number of coins ejected is registered in the gaming machine 1, this does not need to be taken out of operation for this process, and the coin can thus be removed by any person commissioned at any time. For example, supervisors in arcades, even if they are not authorized to pay, can obtain the necessary change from the existing machines at any time.

Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung werden in den abhängigen Ansprüchen beschrieben und am Beispiel der in der Zeichnung schematisch dargestellten Vorrichtung zur Geldentnahme näher erläutert.Further features of the invention are described in the dependent claims and explained in more detail using the example of the device for withdrawing money shown schematically in the drawing.

Die Auswurfvorrichtung 2 zur Geldentnahme ist in dem Gerätegehäuse 9 des Geldspielgerätes 1 angeordnet und besteht aus einer Auswurfeinrichtung 4 für vorgegebene Geldmengen undarten, die mit einem geräteseitigen Geldsammelbehälter 3, einem Zählwerk 5 und einem Ein-/Aus-Schalter 23 verbunden ist. Die Auswurfeinrichtung 4 besteht aus drei Münzauswurfeinrichtungen 11, denen jeweils ein Münzschacht 7 zugeordnet ist. Die Münzsαhächte 7 bilden in ihrer Gesamtheit einen Geldsammelbehälter 3 und sind über einen Einlaufverteiler 8 mit dem Münzeinwurfschlitz 10 verbunden. Die Münzauswurfeinrichtungen 11 sind vorzugsweise als Auszahlhopper ausgebildet und werden jeweils mittels eines Elektromotors 12 angetrieben. Die Elektromotoren 12 sind mit einem Ein-/Aus- Schalter 23 und einem Stellglied 6 verbunden. Der Ein-/Aus- Schalter 23 ist vorzugsweise als Schlüsselschalter ausgebildet. Bei seiner Betätigung wird durch Wirkeingriff eines Schalters 33 der Spielregler 31 blockiert, so daß das Geldspielgerät 1 nicht benutzt werden kann. Es ist aber auch möglich, das Geldspielgerät 1 so auszubilden, daß auf den Schalter 33 verzichtet werden kann. In diesem Fall ist es lediglich erforderlich, bei Betätigung des Ein-/Aus-Schalters 23 das Stellglied 6 zu blockieren, so daß etwaige von der Gewinnermittlungseinrichtung 39 ermittelten Gewinne erst verzögert nach Beendigung der Geldentnahme mittels des Ein-/Aus-Schalters 23 ausgezahlt werden. Die Funktion der Gewinnermittlungseinrichtung 39 und des Spielreglers 31 bleibt jedoch unbeeinträchtigt. Dies hat zur Folge, daß der Spielbetrieb am Geldspielgerät 1 bei einer Geldentnahme über den Ein-/Aus-Schalter 23 nicht beeinträchtigt wird. Das Stellglied 6 ist mit einem Spielregler 31, einem Wechselgeldregler 27 und einem Auszahlregler 20 verbunden. Ferner ist im Bereich der Münzschächte 7 eine Füllstandanzeigeeinrichtung 18 vorgesehen. Durch diese Füllstandanzeigeeinrichtung 18 ist sichergestellt, daß aus den Münzschächten 7 nur soviel Münzen entnommen werden, daß die zur Durchführung des Spielbetriebs erforderliche Münzreserve für Gewinnzahlungen erhalten bleibt. Die Füllstandanzeigeeinrichtung 18 kann z. B. als lichtoptische Abtasteinrichtung 19 ausgebildet sein, wobei jedem Münzrohr 7 jeweils eine Lichtquelle' 21 und ein Lichtempfänger 22 zugeordnet ist. Die lichtoptischen Abtasteinrichtungen 19 werden vorzugsweise höhenverstellbar ausgebildet, um die Spielgeldreserve an den einzelnen Münzschächten 7 individuell einstellen zu können. · Jeder Münzschacht 7 ist mit einem Zählwerk 5 verbunden, das den Geldwert der durch die Münzauswurfeinrichtungen 11 ausgeworfenen Geldbeträge aufaddiert. Die jeweils entnommenen Geldmengen werden in dem Auszahlspeicher 25 gespeichert. Zweckmäßigerweise wird das Zählwerk 5 mit einem Auszahldrucker 24 verbunden, der bei einer Geldentnahme die entnommene Geldmenge durch einen bedruckten Papierstreifen quittiert. Die Ausgänge 13 der Münzauswurfeinrichtungen 11 sind einem Münzsammeltrichter 14 zugeordnet, an dem eine Spannvorrichtung 15 zur lösbaren Befestigung eines Beutels 16 angeordnet ist. Unterhalb der Spannvorrichtung 15 befindet sich eine Clipvorrichtung 17 mittels derer der Beutel 16 nach Beendigung der Befüllung mit Geldmünzen über einen Impuls des Auszahlreglers 20 verschlossen wird. Es ist aber auch möglich, den Ausgängen 13 der Münzauswurfeinrichtungen 11 eine Ausgabeschale 32 zuzuordnen, wie es in der Zeichnung durch Strichlinien dargestellt ist. Die Ausgabeschale 32 kann in das Gehäuse 34 des Geldspielgeräts 1 ein- und ausschiebbar ausgebildet sein.The ejection device 2 for withdrawing money is arranged in the device housing 9 of the gaming machine 1 and consists of an ejection device 4 for predetermined amounts and types of money, which is connected to a device-side money collecting container 3, a counter 5 and an on / off switch 23. The ejection device 4 consists of three coin ejection devices 11, each of which is assigned a coin slot 7. The Münzsαhächte 7 in their entirety form a money collecting container 3 and are connected to the coin insertion slot 10 via an inlet distributor 8. The coin ejection devices 11 are preferably designed as payout hoppers and are each driven by an electric motor 12. The electric motors 12 are connected to an on / off switch 23 and an actuator 6. The on / off switch 23 is preferably designed as a key switch. When it is actuated, the game controller 31 is blocked by the active intervention of a switch 33, so that the gaming machine 1 cannot be used. It is also possible to design the gaming machine 1 so that the switch 33 can be dispensed with. In this case, it is only necessary to block the actuator 6 when the on / off switch 23 is actuated, so that any profits determined by the profit determination device 39 are only paid out with a delay after the end of the withdrawal of money by means of the on / off switch 23 . The function of the profit determination device 39 and the game controller 31, however, remains unaffected. This has the consequence that the gaming operation on the gaming machine 1 is not impaired when the money is withdrawn via the on / off switch 23. The actuator 6 is connected to a game controller 31, a change controller 27 and a payment controller 20. Furthermore, a level indicator 18 is provided in the area of the coin chutes 7. This fill level display device 18 ensures that only so much coins are withdrawn from the coin chutes 7 that the coin reserve required for carrying out the game operation for profit payments is retained. The level indicator 18 can, for. B. be designed as a light-optical scanning device 19, each coin tube 7 is assigned a light source '21 and a light receiver 22. The light-optical scanning devices 19 are preferably designed to be height-adjustable in order to be able to individually adjust the game reserve on the individual coin chutes 7. Each coin chute 7 is connected to a counter 5, which adds up the monetary value of the amounts of money ejected by the coin ejection devices 11. The amounts of money withdrawn in each case are stored in the payout memory 25. The counter 5 is expediently connected to a payout printer 24 which, when withdrawing money, acknowledges the withdrawn amount of money by means of a printed paper strip. The outputs 13 of the coin ejection devices 11 are assigned to a coin collecting funnel 14, on which a tensioning device 15 is arranged for the detachable fastening of a bag 16. Below the tensioning device 15 there is a clip device 17, by means of which the bag 16 is closed by means of a pulse from the payment controller 20 after the filling with coins has been completed. However, it is also possible to assign an output tray 32 to the outputs 13 of the coin ejection devices 11, as is shown in the drawing by broken lines. The output tray 32 can be designed to be insertable and extractable into the housing 34 of the gaming machine 1.

Es kann ferner eine Einrichtung zum-Geldscheinwechseln vorgesehen sein um den Spielern die Möglichkeit zu geben, Geldscheine in benötigte Münzen umtauschen zu können. Der Geldscheinwechsler 26 ist mit einem Geldscheinsammler 28 verbunden, in dem ein verplombter Scheinsammelbehälter 29 herausnehmbar gelagert sein kann. Der Geldscheinwechsler 26 ist mit dem Zählwerk 5 und einem Wechelgeldregler 27 verbunden, über den in Abhängigkeit von dem zu wechselnden Geldschein die entsprechenden Münzauswurfeinrichtungen 11 betätigt werden. Die durch Geldmünzen ausgezahlte Geldmenge wird durch das Zählwerk 5 angezeigt.A device for changing banknotes can also be provided in order to give the players the possibility of being able to exchange banknotes for required coins. The bill changer 26 is connected to a bill collector 28, in which a sealed bill collection container 29 can be removably mounted. The bill changer 26 is connected to the counter 5 and a change regulator 27, via which the corresponding coin ejection devices 11 are actuated depending on the bill to be changed. The amount of money paid out by coins is displayed by the counter 5.

Der ebenfalls mit dem Stellglied 6 verbundene Spielregler 31 ist über eine Gewinnermittlungseinrichtung 39 mit dem Spieltastenfeld 30 verbunden. Bei einem Gewinn erfolgt über den Spielregler 31 die Betätigung des Stellglieds 6 mit der Folge, daß über die Münzauswurfeinrichtungen 11 der Gewinn ausgezahlt wird.The game controller 31, which is also connected to the actuator 6, is connected to the game keypad 30 via a profit determination device 39. In the event of a win, the actuator 6 is actuated via the game controller 31, with the result that the win is paid out via the coin ejection devices 11.
