Definitions
- the invention relates to a gaming machine with a box-shaped housing and a door hinged to a side wall and lockable with the latter, the outside of which bears playing fields and the design that characterizes the game, with a coin system arranged in the housing, comprising at least a coin inlet, coin validator, and coin distributor and coin guide device, coin stacking tubes and coin payout device, and with rails fastened to the side wall of the housing on the opening side of the door for a carriage holding a frame, which with holding devices for the individual modules formed by the components of the coin system le is provided.
- Gambling devices are provided with guiding devices for coins thrown into the insertion slot, which lead them to coin checking devices, stack coins recognized as genuine in coin stacking tubes of a payout unit, and if the coin stacking tubes overflow, coins not picked up by them into a coin collecting container direct, direct unidentified coins into a return plate and make payouts of coins according to the winnings or requirements granted by the player.
- Coin systems for gaming machines with the components specified at the outset must be compact in accordance with the desired small designs and, moreover, be insensitive to interference and cannot be manipulated. Furthermore, it is a requirement of rational and cost-effective production and maintenance that the coin systems can be easily, quickly and clearly installed in gaming machines, the individual components being easily accessible for the purpose of maintenance and, if necessary, replacement. lent and should be easy to replace.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a gaming machine of the type specified at the outset, the coin system of which can be installed in a simple and clear form therein and, after installation, can be easily maintained in such a way that the individual components of the coin system are easily accessible and are easily interchangeable.
- this object is achieved in a gaming machine of the generic type in that on the inside of the rear wall of the frame a printed circuit board with contacts forming the bow-shaped, knife-like legs is held, which is in conductive contact when a module provided with contact springs is inserted into the frame come with these contact springs.
- the individual components of the coin system are arranged in a modular design in a frame which is held on a carriage, so that this frame can be pushed into the housing and can also be pulled out for the purpose of better accessibility.
- the individual components consist of modules which can be inserted into the frame in the manner of a modular system and can also be removed from the frame accordingly.
- the brackets of the individual modules in the frame are designed in such a way that they are inevitably in their functional interaction in the inserted state, so that the modules completely inserted in the frame represent the functioning coin system.
- the good assembly and accessibility are ensured by the fact that the carriage holding the frame can be extended and inserted.
- the individual modules can have sensors, controls, circuits and drives etc., which have to be supplied with current or have to be connected to contacts of a circuit board attached to the frame. There is therefore an additional need to be able to produce the corresponding electrical connections between the modules and contacts of a printed circuit board or the like simply and quickly.
- a circuit board with contacts-forming, bow-shaped, knife-like legs is held, which when a module provided with contact springs is inserted into the frame in conductive contact with the latter Contact springs are coming.
- the module containing the payout device and the stacking tubes is expediently provided with contact springs.
- the bow-shaped legs and the contact springs are expediently arranged in a row.
- the contact springs preferably consist of prestressed tension springs.
- two mutually parallel running rails are provided which are provided with toothed strips or rows of holes in which the teeth of two gearwheels mounted on a common synchronizing shaft mounted in the slide engage. This configuration ensures that the carriage carrying the frame is not tilted in and out.
- the rails preferably have a U-shaped profile, wherein they are mounted with legs directed towards one another and the rows of holes are arranged in the legs facing the side wall of the housing.
- two rollers can be mounted in the sled between the legs of each rail. Expedient- the carriage is supported with a roller on the outer legs of the lower rail. Since the slide is guided free of canting, a single roller is sufficient for support.
- the carriage is provided with two aligned pins which project upwards in parallel with its outer edge and can be inserted into the hinge eyes of the frame.
- this embodiment also enables it to be pivoted into a position that improves accessibility.
- the frame expediently consists of a U-shaped folded sheet metal blank, the hinge eyes on the outside of the web part at a lateral distance from the legs forming the side parts.
- This configuration ensures that the frame can only be pivoted when it has been moved out of the housing so far that its front edge no longer abuts the side wall or the guide rails. If, on the other hand, the carriage is moved back into the housing, the web parts of the frame located on both sides of the joint are supported on the guide, so that the frame is held so that it cannot be pivoted when inserted.
- two levers provided with hooks are pivotally mounted parallel to one another on the side wall of the housing and are pivotably connected to one another by a connecting rod forming a coupling and form the locks for the door. Since the locking hooks can protrude beyond the housing side wall, the bottom or the web part of the frame is expediently provided with corresponding window provided star-like cutouts so that when the frame is pivoted in the extended state, the hooks can engage in these window-like cutouts.
- the hooks can also reach behind the edges of the web part of the frame in such a way that it is detachably fixed in its extended and pivoted-out position.
- the four-joint system consisting of the two levers and the connecting rod is expediently acted upon by a spring in the direction of the locking position.
- the connecting rod has locking pieces provided with inclined surfaces for the frame in its inserted position.
- a special lock can be provided so that the connecting rod can be lifted by a key to unlock the door.
- the modules are provided with lateral pins which can be used in slot-like and / or bayonet-like guides in the side edges of the side parts of the frame.
- the modules can be inserted into fixtures of the frame simply by lifting, sliding and / or pivoting and can be detachably fixed.
- snap catches can also be provided, which can be released again by pressing in resilient catch parts.
- At least one module on its upper side or underside is loaded with the module above or below it Springs, for example leaf springs, is provided.
- the corresponding module can be released from its holder or latching by pressing against the spring force, so that the modules above and below are accessible.
- spring-loaded modules can also be provided with locking projections or locking lugs for modules lying below or above them.
- the individual modules can have sensors, controls, circuits and drives etc., which have to be supplied with current or have to be connected to contacts of a circuit board attached to the frame. There is therefore an additional need to be able to produce the corresponding electrical connections between the modules and contacts of a printed circuit board or the like simply and quickly.
- a circuit board with contacts-forming, bow-shaped, knife-like legs is held, which when a module provided with contact springs is inserted into the frame in conductive contact with the latter Contact springs are coming.
- the module containing the payout device and the stacking tubes is expediently provided with contact springs.
- the bow-shaped legs and the contact springs are expediently arranged in a row.
- the contact springs preferably consist of prestressed tension springs.
