Definitions

  • the invention relates to a display device, in particular for the presentation of music tracks in a music machine, with two stacks of vertical and successive information carriers arranged side by side in a frame housing, of which the front information carrier of one stack and the rear information carrier of the other stack at the same time are slidable to the other stack.
  • Music automats offer the user a large number of pieces of music, usually on the order of several hundred individual music compositions, with up to twenty music compositions currently being stored, for example, on a single compact disc disk.
  • the selection option is usually presented in a program overview designed as a display device, from which the user makes a desired choice with regard to one or more pieces of music after inserting a corresponding amount of money into the music machine, enters the corresponding identifier of the piece of music via a keyboard into the voting system of the music machine and opens it this way triggers the game process.
  • a relatively large viewing area is therefore necessary for the performance of a large selection of music tracks.
  • a display device for a music machine with a plurality of superposed, rotatable about axial shaft ends, parallel polygonal drums is known, each having a plurality of substantially flat visible surfaces with mounting elements for mounting a strip card with a visually readable display.
  • the polygon drums are coupled to a drive device, when actuated, all polygon drums are rotated simultaneously by the same angular path, with a different visible surface of each polygon drum being rotated into the visible position.
  • several such display devices can be arranged side by side.
  • the range of programs can be increased in this way, but only to a certain extent, since, for example, the space required for the polygon drums becomes too large when there are over a thousand music tracks.
  • the drive of the individual polygon drums is relatively prone to failure, which leads to frequent failure of the display device.
  • a device for performing music tracks in a music machine which has a series of flat information carriers arranged one behind the other on a continuous conveyor and pivotable about a transverse axis for double-sided labeling.
  • the information carriers can be moved past a housing window within a guide with inner and outer guide walls.
  • a turning device is provided, which is arranged at a point in the orbit of the information carriers at which the guidance is interrupted.
  • the endless conveyor with the information carriers can be driven by hand in opposite directions of rotation, as required, the information carriers pivoting independently of the direction of rotation.
  • DE 37 37 585 A1 discloses a display device for a coin-operated music machine, which is designed as a folding card carousel that can be switched from the outside, the folding cards of which carry the music titles on the front and the back, the folding cards on one of a drive element only in one Are pivotally mounted towards the rotatable folding card holder, in order to fold down from a front display position into a rear display position when passing through a housing-fixed nose.
  • a large number of music tracks can be presented on each folding board, but the folding card carousel requires a comparatively deep installation space overall due to the rotation of the individual folding cards around the folding card holder.
  • the folding cards are subject to increased wear when passing through the housing-fixed nose, which can lead to failure of the folding card carousel.
  • a display device is known with two stacks of vertical and successive information carriers arranged side by side, which can be exchanged cyclically between the two stacks.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a display device of the type mentioned that brings a very large amount of information to the display with a small volume and simple structure.
  • This object is achieved in that the two stacks to shift the corresponding front and rear information carrier by the strength of an information carrier offset step by step synchronously with each other are movable, and the direction of rotation of the movable and displaceable information carriers is reversible, the information carriers of each stack being mounted at the edges in the thread turns of threaded spindles, and the threaded spindles of one stack being counter-synchronous to the threaded spindles of the other stack.
  • the display device is particularly suitable for the performance and selection of music titles of a music machine. Any installation position of the display device is also possible.
  • several display devices can be combined to form a structural unit to enlarge the range of information without great technical effort.
  • four information spindles are assigned to each information carrier stack and are mounted in pairs opposite one another in the upper and lower cross members of the frame frame.
  • the threaded spindles have a gear on their axis projecting beyond the rear wall of the frame housing, and the gears of the threaded spindle belonging to an information carrier stack each mesh together with a large Gear, wherein one of the two large gears, which are in engagement with one another, is coupled via a gear to a drive motor which can be switched in the direction of rotation.
  • the driven large gearwheel drives two disks, each rotatably connected to a gearwheel, which run on the edge side in the forks of associated positioning impulses generating fork couplers and whose marking incisions are arranged offset by 180 ° to one another. This results in a favorable monitoring of the offset and the aligned position of the information carrier stacks with respect to one another.
  • the information carrier stacks are assigned two diametrically opposed drivers, one of which is in a driving opening of the front information carrier of the one stack and the the other engages in a driving opening of the rear information carrier of the other stack in the case of an offset stack arrangement, and the drivers can be moved synchronously in opposite directions along the two stacks by a displacement device.
  • the displacement device comprises two belt drives arranged in the region of the lower crossbeams of the frame housing, which belt drives can be driven by a common connecting shaft coupled via a gearbox with a drive motor which can be reversed in the direction of rotation, the front driver is attached to the upper run and the rear driver to the lower run of the corresponding belt drive.
  • the driver preferably has an angled nose which, in the end positions of the driver displacement path, falls into the fork of correspondingly arranged fork couplers which emit a position pulse.
  • each information carrier is provided on its front side with holding elements for receiving a cover and a music title information strip.
  • the display device has a frame housing 1, in which two stacks 3 formed from information carriers 2 are arranged side by side at the same height. Of each stack 3 consisting of the same number of information carriers 2, only the front and rear information carriers 2 are shown in FIG. 1.
  • the plate-shaped information carriers 2 of each stack 3 are arranged vertically one behind the other and are held with their upper 4 and lower edge 5 in the threads of pairs of opposing threaded spindles 6.
  • Each information carrier stack 2 is thus supported between four threaded spindles 6, two of which are each mounted in the upper cross members 7 and two in the lower cross members 8 of the frame housing 1.
  • the axes 9 of the threaded spindles 6 protrude beyond the rear wall 10 of the frame housing 1 and each carry a relatively small gear 11 in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • the two large gearwheels 12 mesh with one another, whereby the direction of rotation of the threaded spindles 6 of one information carrier stack 3 is opposite to the direction of rotation of the threaded spindles 6 of the other information carrier stack 3.
  • the one large gearwheel 12 engages with a drive gearwheel 14, which is part of a gear 16 coupled to a drive motor 15 which can be switched over in the direction of rotation.
  • the toothed wheel 18 and the worm wheel 19 are mounted on an axis 20 which is received in a holder 22 attached to the outside of the side wall 21.
  • a worm 23 connected to the shaft of the drive motor 15 is connected to the worm wheel 19.
  • the worm 23 is supported at its free end in a bearing 24 attached to the holder 22, while the drive motor 15 is fastened to a support arm 25 extending from the side wall 21.
  • the information carrier stacks 3 can either be in a position in which the information carriers 2 of both stacks 3 are exactly aligned with one another, or in a position in which the information carriers 2 of both stacks are mutually aligned by the strength of an information carrier 2 are offset, driven.
  • two fork couplers 26 are connected to a switching device of the display device, in the forks of which a disk 27 engages on the edge side, the two disks 27 being provided with marking incisions 28 offset from one another by 180 °.
  • Each disc 27 is rotatably connected to a gear 29 which meshes with the driven large gear 12 and is mounted together with the disc 27 on an axle 30 fastened to the rear wall 10.
  • the aligned stack arrangement is adopted in order to be able to offer the viewer a flat viewing surface formed from the front sides 31 of the front information carriers 2.
  • Each information carrier 2 has on its front side 31, in a corresponding arrangement, attached mounting elements 32 for receiving a cover 33 and a music title information strip 34, the music titles of which are each assigned a specific identifier for input into a selection keyboard of the music machine.
  • the offset stack arrangement enables the front information carrier 2 of one stack 3 and the rear information carrier 2 of the other stack 3 to be simultaneously displaced toward the other stack.
  • all information carriers 2 have a driving opening 35 in the center at the lower edge 5, and two diametrically opposed drivers 36, 37 are assigned to the information carrier stacks 3.
  • the front driver 36 engages in the driving opening 35 of the front information carrier 2 of one stack 3
  • the rear driver 37 engages in the driving opening 35 of the rear information carrier 2 of the other stack 3.
  • the two drivers 36, 37 can be moved synchronously in opposite directions via a displacement device 38, i.e. the carriers 36, 37 can simultaneously convey the front information carrier of one stack 3 and the rear information carrier 2 of the other stack 3 to the respective other stack 3.
  • the aligned stack arrangement can then be taken up again by appropriate control of the drive motor 15.
  • the front driver 36 has an angled nose 39 which, in the end positions of the driver displacement path, falls into the fork in accordance with the fork coupler 40, 41 which emits a position pulse to the switching device.
  • the front driver 36 is attached to the upper run 42 of a belt drive 43 and the rear driver 37 to the lower run of a belt drive 44.
  • the reversing rollers 45 of the two belt drives 43, 44 are supported on axles 46 attached to the lower cross members 8, while the drive rollers 47 are arranged in a rotationally fixed manner on a common connecting shaft 48.
  • the connecting shaft 48 is mounted in a U-shaped bracket 49 attached to the outside of the side wall 21. In the middle, the connecting shaft 48 rotatably receives the worm wheel 50 of a worm gear 51.
  • the worm 52 meshing with the worm wheel 50 is coupled to the shaft of a drive motor 53 which can be switched over in the direction of rotation.
  • a change in the direction of rotation of the drive motor 53 results in a change in the direction of movement of the drivers 36, 37, so that the information carriers 2 can be exchanged between the stacks 3 in both directions depending on the direction of rotation of the threaded spindles 6.
