Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an stopper that has been specially designed to temporarily hide the normally visible part of a display or rotating drum which are conventionally used in recreational gambling machines.
  • the stopper proposed by the invention in the present case especially designed for displays (1) made in a cylindrical roulette or drum, carrying an alignment of images (2) on its periphery and driven by an electric motor (3) coaxially assembled on it, is materialized in a rectangular blind (4), having an arched profile, formally and dimensionally suitable so as to be placed outside and concentrically on the display (1), hiding the images or figures (2) of the latter, which must be visible through the screen, for which purpose, and as is evident, said blind (4) must be opaque, extending along one of its side edges in a radial arm (5) that on the other end is finished off with a disc ring (6), provided with a geared sector (7) on its edge, a ring (6) intended to be assembled with rotational freedom on the motor (3) of the drum or display (1) and to receive, through its gearing (7) and with the collaboration of a set of reducing gears (8), the movement generated by a micro-motor established, likewise with the set
  • the described structure is complemented with a pair of washers (34-35) which frame the geared ring (26), which can optionally be fixed together and which in any case are fixed to the support capsule (31), one of these washers (35) having the end stops (36) which, with the collaboration of a stop (37) joined to the arm (25), control the micromotor (29) circuit to control in turn the angular shifting of the blind or lid (24) within the limits pre-established for that purpose.
  • the stopper (41) is joined to the periphery of the flywheel (44) assembled with rotational freedom on a shaft (45) which, in an assembled situation for the stopper, is coaxial with the shaft (46) of the roller (42), said shaft (45) being specifically assembled in turn with rotational freedom on a flat support (47) parallel to the support (48) of the roller (42), opposite the latter, and on one of its edges provided with an orthogonal bracing (49) with holes (50) for fixing it to the structure of the recreational machine.
