Definitions

  • the invention relates to a random number generator for selecting a limited number of numbers from a predetermined number of numbers according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Random number generators of this type are used to play in number games, e.g. Lotto or Toto to support the selection of the numbers to be ticked.
  • Such a random number generator is known from DE-G 8128056.
  • the space is circular and relatively flat and filled with numerical bodies in the form of small balls.
  • the display areas extend vertically downwards from the lower end of the room.
  • a disadvantage of such a random number generator is that the output area of the balls from the room into the display area or areas is relatively small, so that the balls interfere with each other and tend to form bridges, which must be removed by repeated shaking.
  • a random number generator for the selection of a limited number of numbers from a predetermined number of numbers, consisting of a housing with at least one space for accommodating number fields and an adjoining display area connected to the space, the space being designed with rounded edge areas and the display area becoming Form of an elongated rectangle adjoins one side of the room, and wherein the elongated rectangle of the display area connects with its long side to one side of the room.
  • two rooms are advantageously arranged horizontally one above the other, which are separated from one another by means of a horizontal partition, so that the random number generator for two different number games, e.g. Lotto and Toto, can be used.
  • the spaces are ellipsoidal.
  • the rooms are round.
  • This configuration enables a round shape of the random number generator, e.g. the shape of a pocket mirror. In this case, too, an unimpeded movement of the number fields as well as thorough mixing of the same is ensured.
  • the display areas are arranged on opposite sides of the rooms. This allows a clear separation between the different number games and a good readability of the selected number sequences.
  • the rooms are of different sizes. This takes into account the different number of number fields in the respective number games of chance, ie even in number games with a larger number of number bodies there is unimpeded movement and thorough mixing thereof.
  • the spaces are closed on their two horizontally outer sides by a cover plate of the housing and the cover plate or plates are transparent in the sections corresponding to the display areas. This enables simple formation of the random number generator and good readability of the corresponding display areas.
  • the transparent sections corresponding to the display areas are arranged only on one of the cover plates. This results in a free space that can also be used as an advertising space or can be provided with a mirror, which further increases the usefulness of the random number provider.
  • the housing of the random number generator according to the invention is expediently formed from three superimposed thin plates, the uppermost first plate having two transparent sections corresponding to the display areas in its opposite edge regions, the second middle plate a first smaller one, from the plate on the sides and on Floor enclosed space with an adjacent display area and a window opposite the display area, separated from the room, and the third plate has a second larger space enclosed by the plate on the sides and on the floor with an adjacent display area, which with the window of the second plate is aligned, has.
  • the housing of the random number generator in turn consists of three superimposed thin plates, the uppermost first plate in its opposite edge regions having two transparent sections corresponding to the display areas, the second middle plate a first smaller one of the plate has space enclosed on the sides and on the floor with an adjacent display area and an edge area opposite the display area, which extends to the inside of the corresponding transparent section of the first plate and is chamfered on its underside to form a ramp towards the transparent section, and the third plate has a second larger space enclosed by the plate on the sides and on the bottom with an adjacent display area which is aligned with the corresponding transparent section, wherein between In the display area and the edge area of the room, a bevel corresponding to the bevel of the second plate is provided to form the ramp.
  • This embodiment advantageously enables the numerical bodies to lie on the same level in the respective display areas. This leads to better readability in unfavorable lighting conditions.
  • the plates expediently consist of plastic for reasons of weight and ease of manufacture.
  • the number bodies are advantageously designed as round disks, so that the number bodies are prevented from tilting when mixed.
  • the number fields consist of metal and / or plastic. This allows the weight of the number fields to be determined that the necessary friction forces are easily overcome.
  • latching elements are advantageously provided. It is also possible to connect the individual plates to one another using an adhesive.
  • a larger number of number fields is arranged in the larger room than in the smaller room. This takes into account the free mobility of the individual numerical fields and their thorough mixing.
  • the random number generator shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 consists of a housing 4 constructed from three relatively thin plates 1, 2, 3, which encloses two separate spaces 5, 6 for accommodating number fields 7.
  • the first plate 1 shown in FIG. 1 serves as the cover plate 11
  • the plate 2 shown in FIG. 2 serves as the middle plate, which has a partition 10
  • the plate 3 shown in FIG. 3 serves as the lower cover plate 12. All three plates 1, 2, 3 are arranged one above the other and connected to one another by means of latching elements (not shown) or an adhesive to form the housing 4, as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the plates 1, 2, 3 have a rectangular outer circumference, but can also be round or polygonal.
  • transparent, rectangular, elongated sections 13, 14 are arranged on the two edge regions, which serve to represent the selected limited number of numbers.
  • a recess is provided in the second plate 2, which delimits an ellipsoidal space 5.
  • the plate 3 has a further larger recess, similar to the recess in the plate 2, but mirror-symmetrical to it, which likewise delimits an ellipsoid-shaped larger space 6 with a display region 9 adjoining in the region with a larger radius, which is connected to the window 15 of the second plate 2 flees.
  • Numeric fields 7 in the form of round plates are arranged in the two rooms 5 and 6. Should the random number provider e.g. used for Toto or Lotto, there are 6 forty-nine tiles with the numbers one to forty-nine in the larger room, of which twelve numbers 7 can fall freely into the display area 9 when the random number generator is tilted or shaken. In this case, special identifiers are provided on the transparent section 14 on the long side of the first plate 1 in order to identify the corresponding number of numbers for different lottery game types (system games).
  • Numeric fields 7 are also arranged in the smaller room 5 and are intended for the game Toto.
  • thirty-six number bodies 7 are provided, namely twelve number bodies with the number zero, twelve number bodies with the number one and twelve number bodies with the number two.
  • twelve tiles reach the display area 8 unhindered, which are visible in the transparent area 13 of the first plate 1.
  • the number one statistically outweighs the numbers zero and two in actual lottery results. This distribution can be taken into account by providing twenty number fields 7 with the number one, eight number fields with the number zero and eight number fields with the number two.
  • the ellipsoidal spaces 5 and 6 enable the number bodies 7 to be mixed unhindered when shaken, so that the limited number of numbers can be optimally approximated to chance.
  • the number bodies 7 can also consist of plastic, a plastic or a material with a high specific weight being expediently used, e.g. Plastic plates coated with plastic so that when shaking or tipping there are sufficient forces to overcome the friction. Glass is also suitable as a material for the number fields.
  • the housing 4 of this embodiment also consists of three superimposed thin plates 1, 2, 3, the uppermost first plate 1 having two transparent sections 13, 14 corresponding to the display areas 8, 9 in its opposite edge areas (see FIG . 1).
  • the second middle plate 2 has a first smaller space 5 enclosed by the plate 2 on the sides and on the bottom with an adjacent display area 8 and an edge area opposite the display area 8, which extends to the inside of the corresponding transparent section 13 and 14, respectively the first plate 1 extends.
  • This edge area is chamfered on its underside to form a ramp 15 towards the transparent section 13 or 14.
  • the space 5 has a rounded edge area and is ellipsoidal in the preferred embodiment. However, it can also be round or of another curved suitable shape.
  • the third plate 3 has a second larger space 6 enclosed by the plate 3 on the sides and on the bottom with an adjacent display area 9 which is aligned with the corresponding transparent section 13 or 14 of the first plate 1. Between the display area 9 and the edge area of the space 6, a bevel corresponding to the bevel of the second plate is provided to form the ramp 15.
  • the space 6 can also be of any suitable shape, it being important that the edge areas are rounded. An ellipsoidal space or a round space is preferred.
  • the two bevels of plate 2 and plate 3 form an obliquely upward channel, as a result of which the numerical bodies in the display area for the two rooms 5 and 6 lie on one level. As a result, better readability is achieved in unfavorable lighting conditions (shadow effects).
  • the two display areas are arranged directly next to one another only at an edge area.
