Definitions

  • the invention relates to a gaming device with a spring bar that can be set in vibration, clamped in a base plate and closed at its upper free end with an actuation button, on which a plurality of disks are arranged so as to be freely displaceable, of which a lower game disk has characters such as numbers. Has letters or other characters, and of which an upper game disc at least one window assigned to one of the characters, a marker or the like.
  • a spacer holding the disks at a distance above the base plate is provided, at least the game disks being provided with a ring of latching openings and with detents assigned to them.
  • Such a gaming device is known from DE-GM 19 86 429.
  • the basic idea of this well-known Luck gaming device is good; it could not prevail in practice because the vibration properties of the overall system were in need of improvement, in particular with regard to the fact that the disks dropped sufficiently apart from the vibration into the rest position downwards at unpredictable angular positions relative to one another.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to improve the gaming device of the type described in such a way that while improving the vibration behavior, the disks sink successively at a sufficient time interval and each assume unforeseeable angular positions relative to one another.
  • the spacer assigned to the base plate and the catches facing the lower game disc are attached in the form of locking pins, which are designed to accommodate all the disks arranged above the catcher disc, on a catch plate facing the base plate and freely displaceable on the spring rod .
  • the measures according to the invention ensure that the lower catcher plate, which together with the spacers and the locking pins has a relatively large mass, rises with the start of the vibrations on the spring rod and overall increases the period of oscillation. On the other hand, this mass drops down first. Only then do the other slices begin to descend in a defined manner. They are all recorded on the catch pins on the catcher disc.
  • the overall vibration behavior of the entire game device can be changed, since the distance between the catcher disc, which is supported by the spacers on the top of the base plate in its rest position, and the clamping point of the spring bar is changed.
  • the further embodiment according to claim 4 creates the possibility of creating an additional game disc, by means of which the various game options are expanded.
  • the configuration according to claim 6 also promotes a time-wise lowering of the panes.
  • a spring bar 2 is attached in the form of a completely tightly wound coil spring. 2, the spring bar 2 is attached to a screw 3 with a larger diameter than the spring bar 2 has, which is screwed into a continuous corresponding threaded hole 4 in the base plate 1, the screw 3 being designed to be self-locking.
  • the screw 3 On its underside, the screw 3 is provided with a hexagon socket 5, so that it can be screwed into the threaded bore 4 in different positions.
  • Their length is significantly less than the thickness of the base plate 1. This allows the position of the clamping point 6 of the spring bar 2 on the top of the screw 3 relative to the top 7 of the base plate 1 to be changed.
  • a threaded bolt 8 is screwed into the spring bar 2 and is fixed on the windings 9 of the spring bar 2.
  • a threaded bolt 12 is screwed into it, which is braced against the windings 9.
  • a spherical button 13 serving as an operating handle and locking device is screwed onto its protruding end and has a continuous threaded bore 14, as can be seen in FIG. 3.
  • a further part, for example a flag or the like, can also be screwed into the threaded bore 14, which is also open at the top.
  • a catcher plate 15 is arranged facing the base plate 1 or 1 '. Above this, a lower game disc 16 and an upper game disc 17 are provided. A gyroscope disk 18 is located above it.
  • the catcher disc 15 has a central opening 19 through which the spring rod 2 is guided.
  • the diameter a of this opening 19 is slightly larger than the diameter b of the spring rod 2.
  • locking pins 22 are provided, which protrude above the catcher disk 15. They are provided with tips 23 pointing upwards. These locking pins 22 also run parallel to the axis 20.
  • the lower game disc 16, the upper game disc 17 and the rotor disc 18 also have openings 24, 25, 26, the diameters c, d and e of which are also larger than the diameter b of the spring bar 2.
  • the diameters c, d, e decrease from the bottom to the top, ie the diameter e of the opening 26 of the gyro disk 18 is smaller than the diameter d of the opening 25 of the upper game disc 17.
  • the latter is again smaller than the diameter c the opening 24 of the lower game disk 16.
  • All four disks 15 to 18 are circular disks and concentric to the axis 20.
  • the difference in the diameters c, d, e is in the range from 0.2 to 0.4 mm, for example with a diameter of the spring bar 2 of 5 mm.
  • the panes 15 to 18 consist of a transparent plastic, for example a glass-clear polycarbonate.
  • the two game disks 16, 17 and the gyro disk 18 have the same thickness, that is to say the same weight, while the catcher disk 15 has a greater thickness and thus a greater weight.
  • the total weight of the catcher disc 15 with the spacers 21 made of steel pins with the locking pins 22 significantly larger than the weight of the disks 16 to 18.
  • locking openings 27, 28, 29 are formed, which are arranged on a circle with the axis 20 as the center and the center distance f from the axis 20 is identical to the center distance f of the locking pins 22 from the Axis 20.
  • the latching openings 27 to 29 are arranged at an identical distance from one another, that is to say with the same angular division relative to the axis 20, the number of latching openings 27 or 28 or 29 on each disk 16, 17, 18 being an integral multiple of the number of Locking pins 22 is.
  • the latter are also attached to the catcher disc 15 with the same angular division, in the present case at a distance of 90 ° from one another.
  • the number of locking openings 27, 28, 29 is 8 or 12 or 16 etc. The number depends essentially on the center distance f on the one hand and the diameter g of the opening 27, 28, 29, since a boundary condition is that the web 30 remaining between two adjacent locking openings 27 or 28 or 29 has a width h which is significantly smaller than the diameter g. It should apply h ⁇ 0.2 g. Naturally, other divisions are also possible.
  • a number of not shown characters for example numbers 1 to 12, is attached to the number of latching openings 27.
  • a window 31 is marked on the upper game disc 17 with an angular opening that divides 360 ° corresponds to 27 or 28 by the number of latching openings.
  • the characters on the lower game disc 16 and the associated window 31 are located in the area of the outer circumference of the two discs 16, 17.
  • a further circle of characters, also not shown, such as numbers 1 to 12 can also be attached be within the characters on the lower game disc 16. These can be assigned a mark 32 on the rotor disc 18.
  • a weight body 33 in the form of a ball can additionally be fitted between the uppermost disk, that is to say the gyro disk 18 and the button 13, on the spring bar 2 and freely displaceable relative to the latter.
  • the player strikes with his hand approximately perpendicular to the spring bar 2 against the button 13, so that this - as indicated in Fig. 1 - is deflected.
  • the spring rod 2 is hereby set in bending vibrations around its clamping point 6 or 6 ', which run in one plane or - better - spatially.
  • all the disks 15 to 18 and - if present - the weight body 33 on the spring rod 2 are displaced upwards in the direction of the button 13, which in turn increases the distance between the vibrating mass and thus the moment of inertia of the vibrating system.
  • the catcher disc 15 slides down with its spacers 21 and the locking pins 22 on the spring rod 2, so that the pins of the spacer 21 on the top 7 of the base plate 1 or 1 'to rest come.
  • This can be at least partially covered with a washer 34, which is particularly useful in an embodiment according to FIG. 2.
  • the lower game disc 16 sinks down with a time advantage in front of the upper game disc 17, which is caused in particular by the fact that the opening 24 in the lower game disc 16 has a larger diameter c than the opening 25 of the upper game disc 17.
  • the rotor disk 18 falls down to the upper game disk 17 with a time delay.
  • a thin ring 35 made of felt or the like On the underside of the base plate 1 or 1 ' is a thin ring 35 made of felt or the like. attached, by which the stability of the base plate 1 or 1 'and thus the game device is significantly improved.
  • the spring bar 2 is screwed into a threaded bore 36 in the screw 3 and fixed therein.
  • the threaded bolt 8 is screwed into the spring bar 2, i.e. the area of the spring bar 2 filled by the threaded bolt 8 is inherently stiff, so it cannot carry out any bending vibrations. Physically, therefore, the clamping point 6 'of the spring bar 2 is in this embodiment at the upper end of the threaded bolt 8. By screwing the threaded bolt 8 into the spring bar 2 at different depths, the position of the clamping point 6 relative to the upper side 7 of the base plate 1' can therefore also be changed will. With the counter screw 11, the threaded bolt 8 is then secured in the appropriate position.
  • the catcher disc 15 ' differs from the catcher disc 15 according to the previous exemplary embodiments in that not several pins are provided as spacers, but only a tubular spacer 37 and that the locking pins 22', the catcher disc 15 'and the spacer 37 are injection molded in one piece from plastic.
