Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates generally to printers and, more particularly, to a universal printer bezel for a gaming machine and a method of replacing a ticket printer in the gaming machine.
- Many gaming machines contain thermal printers that print and dispense tickets containing text, barcodes, graphics and/or lines. The information on such tickets may relate to diagnostics, metering, monetary accounts, monetary amounts, security/validation, etc. Recently, the ticket printers have been employed in cashless gaming systems. When a player completes a gaming session at a gaming machine outfitted with such a thermal printer and elects to collect any credits remaining on the machine, the thermal printer prints and dispenses a ticket with a monetary amount corresponding to the number of collected credits. The monetary amount may be represented by text and/or a barcode.
- The thermal printers applicable to gaming machines are available in a variety of models and from a plurality of suppliers. Some popular thermal printers include the Ithaca® Series 700 and Series 850 thermal printers commercially available from TransAct Technologies Incorporated of Wallingford, Conn., and the PSA-66 thermal printer commercially available from Seiko Instruments USA, Inc., Microprinter Division, of Torrance, Calif. Such printers are typically mounted within the machine housing and dispense printed tickets through an attached bezel. The bezel is attached to the front of the printer and protrudes through an opening in the front of the machine housing. The opening may be defined by a front door of the machine housing.
- A drawback of existing printer bezels is that they are designed to fit a particular thermal printer model and accept tickets dispensed from that printer model. The same bezel generally cannot be used with different printer models that dispense tickets along different exit paths. Therefore, if a machine manufacturer uses multiple printer models on its gaming machines, the manufacturer must also obtain or produce multiple bezels suited to the different printer models. Likewise, if one desires to replace one thermal printer in a gaming machine with a different printer model for upgrade or repair purposes, one must also replace the original bezel with a new bezel suited to the different printer model. The new bezel adds to material and labor costs. Accordingly, a need exists for a universal printer bezel that readily adapts to different thermal printer models and therefore does not require adjustment or replacement when one printer model is replaced with a different printer model.
- In accordance with the present invention, a universal printer bezel for a gaming machine is disclosed. The gaming machine includes a housing and a selected ticket printer from a plurality of ticket printers. The selected printer is mounted within the housing. The plurality of printers have respective output slots for dispensing tickets along different exit paths. The printer bezel comprises an elongated hollow body extending between a front door of the housing and the output slot of the selected printer. The elongated body is mounted to the front door but unconnected to the selected printer. The elongated body is adapted to accept tickets dispensed from the output slots of the respective printers along the different exit paths regardless of which of the plurality of printers is the selected printer mounted within the housing.
- The foregoing and other advantages of the invention will become apparent upon reading the following detailed description and upon reference to the drawings.
- FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a gaming machine containing a universal printer bezel embodying the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a section taken generally along line2-2 in FIG. 1, showing a first ticket printer model dispensing a ticket through the bezel.
- FIG. 3 is same as FIG. 2, except showing a second ticket printer model dispensing a ticket through the bezel.
- FIG. 4 is an isometric view of a printer arrangement including the bezel and a front portion of a ticket printer for dispensing a ticket through the bezel.
- FIG. 5 is a section taken generally along line5-5 in FIG. 4.
- FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of an exit end of the bezel in FIG. 5.
- While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments have been shown by way of example in the drawings and will be described in detail herein. It should be understood, however, that the invention is not intended to be limited to the particular forms disclosed. Rather, the invention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
- Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 depicts a
gaming machine 10 containing auniversal printer bezel 12 embodying the present invention. Thegaming machine 10 includes a hingedfront door 14 that may be unlocked with a suitable key and opened by service personnel. - FIGS. 2, 3, and4 depict a printer arrangement including the
universal printer bezel 12 embodying the present invention. The printer arrangement includes thebezel 12 and aticket printer 16 a,b. Theticket printer 16 a in FIG. 2 represents a first ticket printer model for dispensing aticket 32 along a first exit path, while theticket printer 16 b in FIG. 3 represents a second ticket printer model for dispensing aticket 32 along a second exit path different from the first exit path. Theticket printer 16 a,b is mounted within the machine housing at a stationary mounting location (base plate) 34 therein and includes an output slot 18 (see FIG. 4). Thebezel 12 extends between thefront door 14 of the machine housing and theoutput slot 18 of theprinter 16 a,b and, more specifically, extends upwardly from theoutput slot 18 to thefront door 14. - The
bezel 12 includes a flat, elongated hollow body having anentry end 20 and anexit end 24. Theentry end 20 includes anentry slot 22 and is adjacent, but not connected, to theprinter 16 a,b. Theentry slot 22 has a width W (see FIG. 4) that is sufficiently large to handle the width of theticket 32 dispensed from theticket printer 16 a,b. The width W of theentry slot 22 may be varied to improve guidance of narrow tickets. Theentry slot 22 has a height H determined by the range of possible printer exit paths, measured from thecommon mounting location 34. The height H of theentry slot 22 must be at least equal to that range plus a small clearance value. In one embodiment, the height H is at least about 0.30 inches. Theexit end 24 includes anexit slot 26 and aperipheral flange 28 encompassing theexit slot 26. Theexit slot 26 is exposed by an opening in adetachable plate 30 of thefront door 14. Theperipheral flange 28 is attached to thedetachable plate 30 around this opening by screws, bolts, or the like. - The
bezel 12 forms achannel 36 extending between theentry slot 20 and theexit slot 26. Thechannel 36 includes atapered section 36 a and anarrow section 36 b. In thetapered section 36 a, thechannel 36 smoothly tapers from the height H at theentry slot 22 to a narrow height at the junction between thetapered section 36 a and thenarrow section 36 b. The taper is illustrated as being generally linear, but may alternatively be curved. For example, the opposing walls of thetapered section 36 a may be concave or convex relative to each other. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, thetapered section 36 aguides tickets 32 that enter theentry slot 22 at different locations to a common location. Thenarrow section 36 b has a uniform height and includes a curved portion that prevents cards or other relatively stiff objects from being fully inserted into theexit slot 26, which is designed to dispense tickets and not accept cards or objects. Also, the curved portion of thenarrow section 36 b gently holds aticket 32 within thebezel 12 to prevent excessive tension from being applied to theticket 32 as a player removes it from thebezel 12 and thereby tears it off from the printer's ticket roll. FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate a cross section of thechannel 36. - In the illustrated embodiment, the
bezel 12 extends upwardly from theoutput slot 18 of theprinter 16 a,b to thefront door 14. Said another way, thebezel 12 extends downwardly from thefront door 14 to theoutput slot 18. With this orientation of thebezel 12, theprinter 16 a,b must be mounted such that itsoutput slot 18 is generally below a height of thebezel 12. Alternatively, thebezel 12 may be inverted so that it extends upwardly from thefront door 14 to theoutput slot 18 of theprinter 16 a,b. In this case, theprinter 16 a,b must be mounted such that itsoutput slot 18 is generally above a height of thebezel 12. - The
ticket printer 16 a,b mounted inside the machine housing is selected from a plurality of different ticket printers. For example, theprinter 16 a,b may be implemented with an Ithaca® Series 700 or Series 850 thermal printer commercially available from TransAct Technologies Incorporated of Wallingford, Conn. Alternatively, theprinter 16 a,b may be implemented with a PSA-66 thermal printer commercially available from Seiko Instruments USA, Inc., Microprinter Division, of Torrance, Calif. These printers have respective output slots and are adapted to be mounted within the machine housing at the mountinglocation 34. The printers dispensetickets 32 from theirrespective output slots 18 along different exit paths relative to the machine housing when mounted within the housing at the mountinglocation 34. - Regardless of which of the above-noted ticket printers is selected to be the
printer 16 a,b mounted within the machine housing, thebezel 12 will accepttickets 32 dispensed from theoutput slots 18 of therespective printers 16 a,b along the different exit paths. As best shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, theentry slot 22 of thebezel 12 is sufficiently wide to accommodate the different exit paths along whichtickets 32 are dispensed from theoutput slots 18 of therespective printers 16 a,b. - Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, because the
original ticket printer 16 a in FIG. 2 can be replaced without adjusting or replacing thebezel 12, the procedure for replacing theoriginal ticket printer 16 a in FIG. 2 with a second,different printer 16 b in FIG. 3 (or vice versa, i.e., replacing theprinter 16 b with theprinter 16 a) is relatively easy. First, a service person opens thefront door 14 of the machine housing to access theprinter 16 a currently mounted within the housing at the mountinglocation 34 therein. Second, the service person dismounts theprinter 16 a from the housing. Third, the service person mounts thesecond printer 16 b within the machine housing at the mountinglocation 34. Fourth, the service person closes thefront door 14 of the machine housing so that thebezel 12 extends between thefront door 14 and theoutput slot 18 of thesecond printer 16 b. Thebezel 12 is not connected to thesecond printer 16 b. - Although the
second ticket printer 16 b dispensestickets 32 from itsoutput slot 18 along an exit path different from that of theoriginal printer 16 a, theentry slot 22 of thebezel 12 is sufficiently wide to accommodate and receivetickets 32 dispensed along the different exit paths of thedifferent ticket printers 16 a,b. Therefore, thebezel 12 need not be adjusted or replaced during the procedure for replacing theprinter 16 a with adifferent printer 16 b. - While the present invention has been described with reference to one or more particular embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that many changes may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Each of these embodiments and obvious variations thereof is contemplated as falling within the spirit and scope of the claimed invention, which is set forth in the following claims.
