Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a jukebox.

A record magazine containing a large number of records, a music selection device used by a customer to specify a desired track, a fee acceptance device consisting of a fee slot, a coin validator, a credit device, a change mechanism, an iron box, etc.; an automatic record playing device that operates to pick up and play a record containing a song specified by the song selection device when the fee is inserted, and an audio output device comprising at least one speaker and its drive circuit, etc. Jukeboxes consisting of others are widely used.

In addition, cassette tape type jukeboxes are also known, but record type jukeboxes are more widely used because they can accommodate a larger number of songs.

However, in conventional jukeboxes, music other than the songs stored in the jukebox, such as music recorded on a cassette tape owned by the customer, can be played at will, or so-called karaoke can be played. At the same time, it was impossible to broadcast songs sung by the guests as accompaniment from the same speaker.

This invention was developed from the perspective of the parent company, and its purpose is to not only function as a normal jukebox, but also to add the above-mentioned additional functions, and to automatically play records with a built-in tap. To provide a new jukebox which can play music recorded on a cassette tape loaded from the outside at any time and can also broadcast other audio signals inputted through a microphone as needed.

The details of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

The drawing is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the jukebox according to the present invention, and in the drawing, 1 is a juice box, 2 is a record magazine, 3 is an automatic record player, 4 is a music selection device, 5 is an amplifier, and 6 is a block diagram. Double push button switch, γ is a DC power supply terminal, 8 is a fare acceptance device, 9 is a fare input slot, 10 is a withdrawal slot for defective coins, change, etc., 11 and 1
2 is an AND circuit; 13 is a tape deck into which the tape cassette 14 is loaded; 15 is a timer that accumulates the net operating time of the tape deck 13 and sends an output signal when the accumulated value reaches a predetermined value; 16 is a wireless microphone; 1T is a receiving circuit capable of receiving a wireless microphone 160W, 18 and 19 are mixing circuits, 20 is an output amplifier, and 21 is a speaker.

A predetermined coin is inserted into the charge slot 9, and the charge acceptance device 8
receives the coin, its output terminal 8-1 becomes “state 1”.
It becomes ゛°.

At this time, if the double-push button switch 6 is set to the contact a side contrary to what is shown in the figure, the AND circuit 110
Since both inputs are in “state l'', their output is also in “state 1”.
”, and the automatic performance device 3 becomes operational.

At this time, when one of the music selection pushbutton switches 4a, 4a provided in the music selection device 4 is pressed to select a song, the automatic performance device 3 is activated and a desired record is taken out from the record magazine 2. and the performance will take place.

The output of the automatic performance device 3 operates a speaker 21 via an amplifier 5, a mixing circuit 19, and an output amplifier 20.

When the performance of the song is finished, a performance end signal is sent from the automatic record player 3 to the input terminal 8 of the fee acceptance device 80.
-2, the fare acceptance device 8 is reset and the output of its output terminal 8-1 returns to the 1 state OI+.

However, if the single-push button switch 6 is oriented to the contact side as shown, the AND circuit 11
Since the output is "state 0", the automatic record player 3
becomes inoperable, but instead the output of the AND circuit 12 becomes ``state 1'', and the tape deck 13 becomes operable.

When a tape cassette 14 of a predetermined standard is loaded into the tape deck 13, the tape deck 13 starts to operate and the output of the tape deck 13 is sent to the mixing circuit 18° 19 and the output amplifier 2.
Since the speaker 21 is activated via the a, the music recorded on the loaded tape is played.

The operating time of the tape deck 13 is accumulated by the timer 15 and the button is pressed, and when the accumulated value reaches a predetermined set value, the timer 15 issues a signal.

The signal is input to the input terminal 8-3 of the fare acceptance device 80, the output of the output terminal 8-1 returns to state 099, and the tape deck 13 stops.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the audio recorded by the microphone 16 is transmitted to the receiving circuit 17, the mixing circuits 18 and 19, the output circuit 20, and the speaker 21 at any time, regardless of the state of the contacts of the double-push button switch 6. It will be broadcast via.

Therefore, a customer can automatically play the records built into the jukebox at any time, and can also use cassette tapes that he or she brings or is lent by the jukebox manager. The songs sung can be broadcast at any time.

Since the present invention is constructed like a main ball, it is possible to provide a new jukebox that can be used from various angles like a main ball by adding only a few additional devices.

Note that the configuration of the present invention is not limited to the main embodiment; for example, the use of the microphone may be limited to only when the tape deck is in operation, the microphone may be a regular microphone instead of a wireless microphone, or it may be used as a selector switch. It is possible to use other switches, or to use other known selection circuits, other circuits or devices in place of the switching device consisting of a combination of a changeover switch and an AND circuit, etc.
The present invention encompasses all of them.
