Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for preventing tampering with table game devices, in particular table football devices, with a playing field and at least one goal area and a ball shaft connected thereto.
- the invention has for its object to provide a device for preventing tampering with Tischspielger th, in particular Ti schfußbal 1 ger th, with which tampering in the gate area can be effectively prevented.
- a device for preventing manipulation of table game devices, in particular table football devices, has a playing field and at least one goal area and a ball shaft connected to it, and furthermore a transmitter / receiver device which detects the goal area. In the event of manipulation, the transmission signal is not received in the receiver device. A downstream selection device can then be manipulated. to spend al poor.
- the transmitter / receiver device With the device according to the invention, it is no longer necessary to provide mechanical locks. Rather, only the transmitter / receiver device needs to be installed at a suitable location. It is important that this covers the goal area as completely as possible. If the goal area is blocked by foreign objects (e.g. a sponge, a scarf or the like), the amplitude of the receiver signal is significantly and permanently reduced, i.e. no signal is received at all. The game ball influences the receiver signal only briefly and slightly. This can in turn be used to output a corresponding manipulation signal.
- foreign objects e.g. a sponge, a scarf or the like
- a manipulation signal of this type can be used, for example, to trigger a mechanical lock which prevents further play. Furthermore, provision can be made to trigger a visual or acoustic display which is either perceptible to everyone or which notifies the supervisor.
- the transmitter / receiver device can be selected such that such a device is arranged in each case with a transmitter / receiver, combined with or without a reflector, in a goal area. If the relevant table game device has two opposite gates, it can advantageously be provided to provide the transmitter device in the area of the one goal area and the receiver device in the area of the other goal area. This can save components.
- suitable wiring or arrangement of the parts can also be prevented that the interference signal prevents the detection by the game events.
- An acoustic arrangement of the transmitter / receiver device that works in particular with ultrasound is less susceptible to interference and, in particular, is independent of game characters.
- the ultrasound transmitter outputs a clocked signal. This prevents that in the case of several devices installed in the same room they do not interfere with each other.
- the clock of the transmission signal is preferably adjustable and can, for example, correspond to the ASCII code for letters.
- a logical one means that the transmitter is activated and a defined time (e.g. 1 ms) oscillates.
- a logical zero means a transmission pause of the same duration. If the receiver recognizes a signal during the pause, the entire process must be restarted after a pause. The breaks are significantly longer than the broadcast times.
- the table game device has a ball plate arranged in the inlet area of the ball shaft, then this can advantageously be used to guide the beam of an ultrasound transmitter from one gate to the other.
- the transmitter is arranged in the reflection region of such a baffle plate of a first gate and the receiver is arranged in the region of such a baffle plate of a second gate. In this way, the transmitter / receiver parts are outside the playing field and are protected against direct bombardment by the balls, without the detection accuracy being reduced.
- the transmitter / receiver device can be arranged on the beam element.
- the single figure shows a schematic sectional view through the goal area of a table game device.
- the table game device shown schematically in the drawing has a playing field 2 which is surrounded or delimited by an outer frame 3.
- the frame 4 has a base plate 6, vertical side plates 8 and upper edge plates 10. From the plates 10, a again vertical boundary plate 12 is angled downwards, which is cut out in the goal area and is otherwise connected to the playing field 2 - also a plate.
- the frame 4 can be formed in one piece.
- the boundary plates 12 have cutout 14 in the gate area, which form the relevant gate openings.
- the boundary plates 12 extends behind the gate opening, ie on the back of the boundary plate 12, from the lower edge of which a baffle plate 16 slants backwards to the vertical side plate 8 Ball shaft 18 for balls that have passed the gate opening.
- a ball element 20 in the form of a slanted plate which extends obliquely downward from the side plate 8 in the direction of the playing field.
- the Balleitele element forms the lower boundary of the ball shaft 18.
- a ball that has fallen down through the ball shaft then rolls the ball 1 element downward into the space between the base plate 6 and the playing field 2, where the played Balls are collected. Due to its inclined position, the aforementioned baffle plate 16 means that balls shot through the gate opening 14 cannot get back onto the playing field 2, provided that they are reflected downwards in the direction of the ball element.
- An ultrasound 1 transmitter 22 has been installed in the left-hand beam element 20 in the figure, so that it directs its transmission beam with the smallest possible scatter and directional characteristic onto the baffle plate 16 located above it in the rear goal area.
- the sound waves are reflected on the baffle plate and are radiated more or less parallel to the playing field 2 over the latter to the opposite baffle plate 16. This is illustrated by reference number 24.
- the ultrasonic waves 1 are reflected downward on the relevant baffle plate 16 and arrive at an ultrasonic receiver 26 which, like the ultrasonic transmitter 22, is installed in the relevant ball guide element 20.
- the ul traschal 1 wel 1 s, which spread out in a conical shape, practically run freely through the playing figures and playing bars over the playing field 2. As long as the transmitted ul traschal 1 signal is received by the ultrasound 1 receiver 26, no manipulation takes place.
