Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for determining random numbers, in particular lottery numbers, with a closed, at least on one side transparent container, one Rolling surface arranged in the container with a plurality of recesses and at least a freely movable in the container between the rolling surface and the transparent side Bullet.
  • DE-G 86 27 463.5, DE-G 90 10 533.8 and DE 298 01 343 U1 are a series of Devices for detecting random numbers known to be free in a transparent container moving balls.
  • the container comprises a detent plate with round recesses, whose diameter is smaller than the diameter of the balls.
  • the balls can be in the Recesses are recorded firmly. If the container is shaken manually, The balls can move freely in the container. Once the container is not or hardly more is moved, the balls are each from one of the recesses of the locking plates added. Each of the recesses is assigned a number, so by the recorded Balls several numbers are determined at random.
  • the object of the invention is a belonging to the aforementioned technical field To create a device for determining random numbers, in which the inclusion of the at least one ball in a recess runs quietly, quickly and safely.
  • the solution of the problem is defined by the features of claim 1.
  • According to the Invention have the recesses for receiving the at least one ball in the Substantial polygonal, in particular a regular 3-8eckige, preferably a square, Shape up.
  • the ball In a substantially polygonal recess, the ball is at a plurality of spaced apart Points up. The number of contact points generally corresponds to the number Sides of the polygon. As a result, the locking position is clearly defined and the inclusion in the Recessed from one moment to the next. In contrast, there is one Ball in round recesses along a circular arc, but the ball is already then at least partially detected by the recess when slightly outside the actual resting position is located. This results in rotational vibrations at which a ball oscillates several times in a recess until it comes to rest, or Performs circular movements along the edge of a recess. The shot of the ball in the recess occurs gradually, even at low disturbances can be in a ball of rotation located leave the recess again.
  • polygonal shapes for the recesses come in particular triangles, squares, Pentagons, hexagons, heptagon or octagons in question. These have a comparatively small number of contact points on, so differ what the recording the ball is concerned, strongly from a round or approximately round recess.
  • the polygons can be regular or irregular, with irregular polygons with four or more pages are mostly disadvantageous because they do not have a unique shooting position define for a sphere.
  • Particularly preferred is a square shape of the recesses. This is generally aesthetically pleasing and such recesses can be arranged symmetrically and regularly along rows and columns.
  • a triangular shape of the recesses is also advantageous because such recesses can also absorb balls, which are not exactly round, they form in fact each case a three-point support for the male or ball-like Body.
  • the effect according to the invention also becomes with essentially polygonal recesses achieved, for example, for aesthetic or handling reasons have slightly rounded corners.
  • the inventive device can for lottery numbers, but also for Totostra or others Lucky numbers as well as another random selection from a limited number of ways be used.
  • a maximum diameter of the recesses is smaller than a diameter the at least one ball.
  • a spherical calotte low height penetrates into the recess, and that the ball is held in a unique position. A thorough Mixing of the balls takes place even with moderate shaking of the device. Nevertheless, they are Balls after shooting due to the polygonal shape firmly and safely in the recesses held.
  • For polygonal recesses corresponds to the maximum diameter the longest running within the recess surface track, which by the Center of gravity of the surface runs.
  • the parameters can therefore be chosen that the balls as randomly as possible after the end of the shaking in the recesses to distribute.
  • Both the shape and the size of the recesses can be selected differently in different areas of the rolling surface, if z. B. for geometric reasons with identically configured recesses the probability for receiving a ball is not the same size for all recesses. Due to the different choice of the parameters of the recesses, the probability differences be compensated, so that all number combinations be determined with the same probability.
  • the recesses are formed by holes in a detent plate.
  • Such Lock plate can be easily z. B. by punching, casting or Cutting, z. As laser cutting, manufacture.
  • the recesses can only depressions or depressions in the detent plate be or be arranged as depressions directly in a wall of the container.
  • the container comprises a bottom part and a lid part, wherein the lid part is transparent and non-positively connected to the bottom part.
  • the container can So opened by removing and reinstalling the lid part of the bottom part as often as desired and be closed again. This opens next to the determination of random numbers Further applications of the inventive device, in particular as a product packaging.
  • the interior of the container between the Rolling surface and the transparent lid initially filled with goods (eg confectionery) sold. Once the goods have been removed from the container, the stands Interior of at least one ball available, so the device can now for Determination of random numbers serve. Opening and reclosing the container allowed in addition also exchange the balls and / or the detent plate when z. B. a different number of random numbers or numbers in a different range can be determined should.
  • a material for the transparent cover part and possibly also for the Bottom part is a highly transparent plastic particularly suitable.
  • the container may be formed integrally or from a larger number of Be composed of elements.
  • the cover part can also be glued to the bottom part, welded or potted, so that a firm connection is formed.

  • the intermediate sheet may also with further information, for. B. with pictorial Representations that relate to a specific topic, or provided with advertising messages become.
  • the interleaf sheet may be a playing field of a sport (e.g. Football, basketball, handball etc.), and the balls can be the corresponding one Balls be modeled.
  • a designed device is ideal as Advertising or promotional material.
  • the numbers can be through openings be visible through.
  • the polygonal (especially quadrangular) shape offers the additional Advantage that a larger visible surface for numbers is possible than with round openings.
  • the numbers instead of behind the detent plate also on or before the Rastplatte be arranged, in particular on the transparent cover. This offers the advantage that the calculated numbers remain immediately visible, not from the recorded ones Balls can be hidden.
  • both the bottom part and the cover part have rectangular bases and then perpendicular to each four side walls, wherein the lid part in the Bottom part is inserted, so that the positive connection is created.
  • the Cover part thus has a reduced by the wall thickness of the side walls of the bottom part Base area up.
