Abstract

Apart from meeting of all gaming standards the roulette wheel according to the invention should provide also more light effects In order to variegate the visual effect of the roulette while at the same time providing a better overview over the game in particular of the current location of the ball during its rotation across the wheel and at the end when the ball has come to a stop in one of the beddings defining the winning number. The roulette wheel according to the invention is made from a chassis (1) and a rotating disk (6) embedded in its centre, while on the circumference of the disk there is a ring (8) from transparent or light permeable material, where the ring (8) features around it beddings (9) for random acceptance of the playing ball (5) at the end of each game and while beneath the circular zone (11) of the ring (8) there is at least one light source (18).

Description

[1] Predmet izuma je kolo igralne rulete, tako ročne rulete, ki jo upravlja uradna oseba, kot tudi avtomatske, ki jo krmili računalnik.[1] The subject of the invention is a roulette wheel, both manual roulette operated by an official and automatic, controlled by a computer.

Tehnični problem [2] Tehnični problem, ki g a rešuje izum je, kako zasnovati tako kolo rulete, ki bo ob zagotovitvi vseh igralnih standardov nudilo več svetlobnih efektov zaradi popestritve vizualnega vtisa rulete, hkrati pa bo tudi povečalo preglednost nad igro, zlasti glede trenutnega nahajanja kroglice med njenim kroženjem v kolesu in na koncu glede lege kroglice v enem od ležišč, ki določa dobitno številko.Technical problem [2] The technical problem solved by the invention is how to design a roulette wheel that, while ensuring all gaming standards, will provide more light effects to enhance the visual impression of the roulette, while also increasing the transparency of the game, especially with regard to the current location the ball during its rotation in the wheel and finally with respect to the position of the ball in one of the beds which determines the winning number.

[3] Potrebna večja preglednost je pričakovana zaradi potreb igralcev in opazovalcev, še posebej pa zaradi elektronskega nadzorovanja igre z video kamerami ipd.[3] Greater transparency is expected due to the needs of players and observers, and in particular the electronic control of video game play and the like.

Znano stanje tehnike [4] Do sedaj so poskušali dodatno osvetliti kolo rulete razen z zunanjimi, zlasti stropnimi viri svetlobe tudi tako, da je v obrobnem pasu kolesa nameščen vir svetlobe, prednostno kot neonska cev, ki praviloma obsega polni krog. Značilnost take dodatne osvetlitve kolesa rulete je, da sicer prispeva k dodatnemu estetskemu izgledu kolesa kot celote, vendar nič ne prispeva k večji vidljivosti pri opazovanju dogajanja v kolesu, ko se v njem naključno premika kroglica. TakaBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [4] Until now, attempts have been made to further illuminate the roulette wheel, except by external, especially ceiling light sources, by placing a light source in the peripheral belt of the wheel, preferably as a neon tube, which generally comprises a full circle. The characteristic of such additional illumination of a roulette wheel is that it contributes to the additional aesthetic appearance of the bicycle as a whole, but nothing contributes to greater visibility when observing what is happening in the bicycle when a ball is randomly moving in it. That's it

33342.doc/lll-06/Vr osvetlitev tudi ne prispeva k bistvenem povečanju kontrasta med kroglico in kolesom. Zato so video prikazi na večjih zaslonih stanja v kolesu rulete med igro premalo jasni in zahteva od opazovalca velik napor gledanja.33342.doc / lll-06 / Vr lighting also does not significantly increase the contrast between the ball and the wheel. As a result, video displays on larger screens of the roulette wheel's status during play are not clear enough and require a great deal of effort from the viewer.

Rešitev tehničnega problema [5] Opisani tehnični problem je rešen z napravo po izumu, katere značilnost je v tem, da je rotor kolesa rulete v območju vdolbin, v eno od katerih naključno pade igralna kroglica, izveden s prosevnim ali prozornim kolobarjem in z nizom svetlobnih teles znotraj kolesa rulete, tako, da je navedeni prosevni kolobar ves osvetljen in se zato na njem neprosojna igralna kroglica pojavi kot kontrastno temno telo. Prav tako so lahko na prosojnem delu kolobarja nad nizom vdolbin izvedene neprosojne igralne oznake, ki so zato bolj vidne.The solution to a technical problem [5] The technical problem described is solved by a device according to the invention, characterized in that the roulette wheel rotor is in the area of the recesses, into which one accidentally falls a ball of ball made with an average or transparent ring and with a set of light of bodies within the roulette wheel, so that the said average ring is illuminated and, therefore, an opaque playing ball appears as a contrasting dark body. Also, opaque play marks can be made on the transparent part of the ring above the set of recesses, which is therefore more visible.

[6] Podrobneje bo bistvo izuma pojasnjeno v nadaljevanju z opisom izvedbenega primera in priložene risbe, na katerih kaže sl. 1 prečni prerez kolesa rulete po izumu.[6] The essence of the invention will be explained in more detail below with a description of an embodiment and the accompanying drawings, shown in FIG. 1 cross section of a roulette wheel according to the invention.

[7] Kolo igralne rulete je izvedeno iz ohišja 1, ki je kolobarjaste zasnove tako, da njegova notranja ploskev 2 leži poševno v smislu plašča obrnjenega prisekanega stožca in je njen znanji rob zvezno preoblikovan v obrobek 3 z žlebasto notranjo ploskvijo 4, ki deluje kot varovalo pred izpadom igralne kroglice 5. Na ploskvi 2 se lahko nahajajo različno oblikovane izbočene ovire 2a, ki dodatno povečujejo stopnjo naključnosti gibanja približno spiralno kotaleče se kroglice 5.[7] The roulette wheel is derived from a housing 1 having a circular design such that its inner surface 2 lies obliquely in the sense of the cone of the truncated cone and its known edge is continuously transformed into a circumference 3 with a grooved inner surface 4 acting as a guard against the collapse of the ball 5. There may be variously shaped convex barriers 2a on the surface 2, further increasing the degree of randomness of movement of the approximately spirally rolling ball 5.

[8] V središču ohišja 1 je uležajena vrteča se plošča 6, ki je gnana z motorjem 7, nameščenem v ohišju 1 pod ploščo 6. Plošča 6 je lahko gnana tudi ročno, kot je znano pri klasičnih ruletah. Na obodu plošče 6 je nameščen kolobar 8 iz[8] In the center of the housing 1 there is a rotating plate 6 driven by a motor 7 housed in the housing 1 below the plate 6. The plate 6 can also be driven manually, as is known in the classic roulette. At the periphery of panel 6, a coil 8 from

33342.doc/lll-06/Vr prosojnega ali prosevnega materiala. Kolobar 8 vsebuje krožno razporejene vdolbine 9, v eno od katerih naključno pade igralna kroglica 5 ob zaključku posamezne igre. Vdolbine 9 so oblikovane tako, da so proste odprte na notranjem robu 8a kolobaija 8. Od niza vdolbin 9 proti obrobku 3 ohišja 1 je kolobar 8 izveden s kolobarjastim pasom 10, ki je s strani motoija 7 v ohišju 1 izveden s krožno potekajočim vbočenim pasom 11, medtem ko se na zunanji, t.j. vidni strani njegova ploskev 12 nahaja v isti navidezni ravnini plašča obrnjenega prisekanega stožca, kot se nahaja ravnina 2 ohišja 1.33342.doc / yy-06 / Vr translucent or perforated material. The ring 8 contains circular recesses 9, one of which accidentally drops the ball 5 at the end of each game. The recesses 9 are configured to open freely at the inner edge 8a of the colobai 8. From the set of recesses 9 towards the flange 3 of the housing 1, the annulus 8 is made with a circular belt 10 which is made by a circular convex belt by the moto 7 in the housing 1. 11, while on the outer, i.e. on the visible side, its surface 12 is in the same apparent plane of the mantle of the inverted truncated cone as is found in the plane 2 of the housing 1.

[9] Kolobar 8 se nahaja v ohišju 1 tako, daje med njim in ohišjem 1 izvedena minimalna zračna reža 13, ki ne ovira kroglice 5 pri njenem naključnem prehodu z ohišja 1 na kolobar 8.[9] The ring 8 is located in the housing 1 so that a minimum air gap 13 is provided between it and the housing 1, which does not interfere with the ball 5 in its random transition from the housing 1 to the ring 8.

[10] Na plošči 6 je nameščen osrednji izbočeni prisekani stožec 14, katerega rob 15 večje spodnje osnovne ploskve sega do notranjega roba 8a kolobaija 8 in s tem preprečuje izpad kroglice 5, kadar se nahaja ob zaključku posamezne igre v eni od vdolbin 9.[10] Plate 6 has a central convex truncated cone 14 whose edge 15 of the lower lower base plane extends to the inner edge 8a of the colobai 8, thereby preventing ball 5 from collapsing when located at the end of a single play in one of the recesses 9.

[11] Stožec 14 je hkrati vrtljiv s ploščo 6. Pri avtomatskih ruletah, t.j. tistih, pri katerih se kroglica 5 strojno in brez posega oseb izstreli v tangencialni smeri v kolo rulete in nato pusti, da po naključnem kroženju v njej, ustavi v eni od vdolbin 9. Po končani igri se po ročnem ali avtomatskem ukazu dvigne stožec 14 s pomočjo drugega motoija 16. S tem je sproščena pot kroglici 5, da lahko izpade iz vdolbine 9 in nato pade skozi luknjo 17 v plošči 6 v prostor pod njo, kjer jo (ni prikazano na sliki) sprejme naprava za samodejno izstreljevanje v kolo rulete pri naslednji igri.[11] The cone 14 is rotatable simultaneously with the plate 6. In the case of automatic roulettes, i.e. those in which ball 5 machine-launches and without intervention of persons in a tangential direction into the roulette wheel and then, after randomly circulating in it, stops in one of the recesses 9. Upon completion of the game, a cone of 14 s is raised by manual or automatic command by means of a second moto 16. This releases the ball 5 so that it can fall out of the recess 9 and then fall through the hole 17 in the plate 6 into the space below it, where it (not shown in the picture) is received by the automatic projectile into the roulette wheel at next game.

[12] V ohišju 1 in sicer pod pasom 11 kolobaija 8 je nameščen vsaj en vir 18 svetlobe. Prednostno pa je izveden niz svetlobnih virov 18 po celem obsegu.[12] At least one light source 18 is housed in the housing 1 below the lane 11 of the colobai 8. Preferably, however, an array of light sources 18 is provided throughout the scope.

33342. doc/lll-06/Vr33342. doc / lll-06 / Vr

Svetlobni viri 18 so lahko žarnice ali barvne diode, katerim lahko spreminjamo barve. Svetloba iz virov 18 proseva skozi kolobar 8, ki je prosojen ali proseven. Na ploskvi 12 kolobarja 8 izvedene neprosevne igralne oznake 12a se kažejo kot temni vzorci na osvetljenem kolobaqu 8. Tudi neprosojna kroglica 5 se jasno vidi v svoji vdolbini 9, ki je osvetljena, medtem ko je kroglica 5 temna oziroma neprosevna.The light sources 18 may be light bulbs or color diodes that can be changed. The light from the sources 18 passes through a circle 8 which is translucent or average. On the surface 12 of the coil 8, the non-transparent play marks 12a appear as dark patterns on the illuminated coil 8. The opaque ball 5 is also clearly visible in its recess 9, which is illuminated, while the ball 5 is dark or opaque.

[13] Na plošči 6 in sicer v območju stika s kolobaqem 8 je izvedena odsevna ploskev 6a prednostno zrcalo, ki odbija svetlobo iz virov 18 skozi kolobar 8 zaradi povečanja svetlobnega efekta.[13] In panel 6, namely in the area of contact with the ring 8, a reflective surface 6a is made, preferably a mirror that reflects light from sources 18 through the ring 8 in order to increase the light effect.

[14] S tem je rešen gornji tehnični problem.[14] This solves the above technical problem.

[15] Opisana rešitev nudi še dodatne možnosti poljubnih estetskih svetlobnih dopolnil, ki vizualno popestrijo izgled rulete. Kot je že omenjeno, lahko barvo svetlobe, ki jo sevajo svetlobni viri 18, poljubno spreminjamo z uvedbo barvnih diod. Barvno spreminjanje svetlobnih virov 18 je lahko krmiljeno ročno, bolj primemo pa je s pomočjo računalnika. Vendar te rešitve niso več predmet tega izuma.[15] The described solution provides additional options for any aesthetic lighting additions that visually enhance the appearance of roulette. As mentioned above, the color of light emitted by light sources 18 can be varied arbitrarily by introducing color diodes. The color change of light sources 18 can be controlled manually, but is more easily controlled by a computer. However, these solutions are no longer the subject of this invention.

[16] Prav tako je svetloba, ki jo sevajo viri 18 uporabljena tako, da se lovi in odbija iz različnih delov kolesa rulete zaradi estetskega učinka, pa tudi zato, daje poudarjeno stanje plošče 6: mirovanje, vrtenje in zadetek. Lep vizualni učinek lahko dosežemo npr. s tem, da je na vrhu stožca 14 nameščeno prosojno mnogostrano telo 19, prednostno iz brušenega stekla. Njegove ravne ploskve odbijajo svetlobo virov 18 v različne smeri in v različnih barvah.[16] Also, the light emitted by sources 18 is used to trap and reflect from different parts of the roulette wheel for its aesthetic effect, as well as to give an emphasis on the state of panel 6: rest, rotation and hit. A nice visual effect can be achieved e.g. the translucent multifaceted body 19, preferably of ground glass, being mounted on top of the cone 14. Its flat surfaces reflect the light of sources 18 in different directions and in different colors.

[17] Razume se, da lahko strokovnjak s tega področja zasnuje še drugačne izvedenke tega izuma na osnovi poznavanja gornjega opisa, zlasti v smislu[17] It is understood that one of skill in the art may conceive of other embodiments of the present invention on the basis of knowledge of the foregoing description, especially in terms of
