Description

Automatic dice-th rowing device
The subject of the present invention is an automatic dice-throwing device that completely replaces manual dice throwing.
When gambling or playing board games, different types of dice can be used to introduce randomness, on which the course or outcome depends, wherein the term dice represents geometric bodies of different shapes, not necessarily just dice, that can assume different value positions and, when standing on a surface, assume only one of the value positions. To achieve a random value position of one or more dice, the dice are usually thrown on a flat surface, where they rest and each assumes one of the value positions. The most common dice is in the form of a cube with six sides corresponding to the six possible value positions that the dice can assume. Traditionally, dice are thrown by hand or preshook by hand, possibly with the help of a glass or similar container, and then thrown onto a surface.
Therefore, there is a need to automate dice throwing, inter alia for the expansion and commercialisation of gambling, as well as to ensure the assumed objectivity in dice throwing.
Prior art discloses several solutions relating to the automation of the generation of value positions with dice, for instance patent No. CN 101658727 describes a device and method for computer-controlled shaking of dice, U.S. Pat. No. 9649553 describes a device, which shakes each individual dice in its container and also reads the number of pips on each dice when the dice slides through a transparent channel, however, the disclosed documents do not solve the technical problem in the same way, to the same extent and context as the present invention.
The present invention relates to an automatic dice-throwing device, which provides automatic, repeatable, transparent throwing of dice onto a surface, with mechanical imitation of manual dice throwing, the device allowing the players to see the entire process of generating a random result. In addition, the device according to the present invention makes it possible to adjust the ejection power of the dice.
The automatic dice-throwing device includes a landing platform that is substantially a flat horizontal surface so that the dice falling onto it can undoubtedly stop in one of the possible value positions, and a dice ejection mechanism.
The invention is described in more detail hereinbelow and illustrated in Figures 1 to 5.
Figure 1 shows a device of the invention
Figure 2 shows a dice ejection mechanism with the ejection container in an equilibrium position
Figure 3 shows a dice ejection mechanism with the ejection container in an ejection position
Figure 4 shows an embodiment of the ejection container with a separate bottom - top view
Figure 5 shows an embodiment of the ejection container with a separate bottom - side view
An automatic dice-throwing device 1 according to the present invention includes a landing platform 2 and a dice ejection mechanism 5 which includes an ejection container 6, a support structure 9, to which the ejection container 6 is attached, a frame 10 of the dice ejection mechanism 5, a drive shaft 11 with a push lever 12 and a strike lever 13, and a striking means 14.
The landing platform 2 has a contact edge 3 on the side facing the ejection container 6. The contact edge 3 of the landing platform 2 is preferably level. The ejection container 6 has a preferably level contact edge 7 on the side facing the landing platform 2. Between the contact edge 3 of the landing platform 2 and the contact edge 7 of the ejection container 6 there is a gap 4, the width of which must be as small as possible in all positions of the ejection container to prevent one or more dice from getting stuck in it during the operation of the device. The smallest possible width of the gap 4 is also desirable for aesthetic reasons. In order to ensure the smallest possible width of the gap 4, the contour of the contact edge 3 of the landing platform 2 is complementary to the contour of the contact edge 7 of the ejection container 6.
In an embodiment of the device according to the present invention shown in Figure 1, the landing platform 2 and the ejection container 6 are surrounded by a raised edge 19 which acts as a fence, which further prevents the dice from falling off the landing platform 2 or the ejection container 6 during the operation of the device 1.
The ejection container 6 comprises a substantially flat or concave surface for receiving dice before ejection and assumes at least two extreme positions during operation: an equilibrium position where the ejection container 6 is substantially in a horizontal position, and an ejection position where the ejection container 6 is at a certain angle, between substantially 20 and 90 degrees, preferably between 75 and 90 degrees, relative to the horizontal position. During operation, the ejection container 6 moves in rotation between the extreme positions around the virtual axis X which is substantially aligned with the contact edge 3 of the landing platform 2 and the contact edge 7 of the ejection container 6. Preferably, the lowest part of the ejection container 6 in the equilibrium position is located below the level of the landing platform 2 to allow easier insertion of dice into the ejection container 6 and to prevent unwanted rolling of dice onto the landing platform 2 in the equilibrium position of the ejection container 6.
The frame 10 of the dice ejection mechanism 5 includes a left guide 15 and a right guide 16 in the form of a circular sector, preferably in the form of a semicircle, wherein Figure 2 shows an embodiment where the left 15 and right guide 16 are formed as substantially semi-circular grooves in the left and right parts of the frame 10.
The support structure 9 is fixedly connected, preferably integrated with the ejection container 6, and movably mounted in the frame 10 so as to allow rotational movement of the support structure 9 and consequently the ejection container 6 around the virtual axis X. Preferably, the support structure 9 is mounted in the frame 10 on both sides via bearings of the left guide 15 and the right guide 16.
The drive shaft 11 is rotationally mounted in the frame 10 of the mechanism 5 substantially parallel to the virtual axis X. The push lever 12 is fixed to the drive shaft 11 so that when the drive shaft 11 rotates, it pushes the support structure 9 along the guides 15, 16 which results in the ejection container 6 moving from the equilibrium to the ejection position. By rotating the drive shaft 11 in the other direction, it is possible to return the ejection container 6 from the ejection position back to the equilibrium position.
The strike lever 13 is fixedly attached to the drive shaft 11 and has two extreme positions corresponding to the extreme positions of the ejection container 6: the equilibrium position of the strike lever 13 and the ejection position of the strike lever 13.
The striking means 14 is attached to the frame 10 and adapted to strike the strike lever 13 at the desired moment of actuation, thereby moving it from the equilibrium position to the ejection position, thereby moving the ejection container 6 from the equilibrium position to the ejection position, and ejecting dice from the ejection container 6 onto the landing platform 2. In one of the embodiments, the striking means 14 can be adjusted in terms of its impact force on the strike lever 13.
Figures 2 and 3 show an embodiment, in which the striking means 14 is configured as a strike weight 17 that is attached to the frame 10 above the strike lever 13 via a vertical guide 18, so that the strike weight 17 can move vertically. When released, the strike weight 17 falls from the initial position onto the strike lever 13 and thereby moves it from the equilibrium position to the ejection position. The height of the strike weight 17 in the initial position is adjustable, thus adjusting the impact force of the strike weight 17 onto the strike lever 13. A trigger mechanism, not shown in the figures, allows for the strike weight 17 to engage in one of the selected initial positions and to be released from the initial position at the desired moment to fall onto the strike lever 13.
In a different embodiment, not shown in the figures, the striking means 14 is configured as an electromagnetic coil with a core (solenoid), whereby, when the coil is electrically excited, the core strikes against the strike lever 13. In this case, the force of the impact can be adjusted by the power of the electrical excitation of the coil.
Most often, the device will be used as follows. First, the ejection container 6 is placed in the equilibrium position, if not already in this position, and the striking means 14 in the initial position. In the embodiment shown in Figures 2 and 3, the strike weight 17 is lifted and stuck at the desired height of the initial position. One or more dice are then placed in the ejection container 6. At the desired moment, the striking means 14 is triggered to strike the strike lever 13, which causes a jerky movement of the strike lever 13 from the equilibrium position to the ejection position, and consequently a jerky movement of the ejection container 6 from the equilibrium position to the ejection position, which subsequently causes ejection of the dice from the ejection container 6 towards the landing platform 2. The dice then land on the landing platform 2, where they rest on the surface and each randomly assumes one of the possible value positions. The device of the invention can be completely mechanical or individual elements are electrically driven. As already mentioned above, the striking means 14 can be configured as a strike weight 17 with a vertical guide 18, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, or as a solenoid. The same applies to the actuation of the striking means 14, as it can be configured as a mechanical or electronic trigger mechanism.
The return of the ejection container 6 from the ejection position to the equilibrium position can be realised in several ways, for example mechanically by means of a suitable structure of the ejection container 6 and a support structure 9, so that the centre of gravity of both elements reaches the lowest position in the very equilibrium position of the ejection container 6, so the ejection container 6 will return to its equilibrium position due to gravity when the striking means 14 returns to its initial position. A similar effect of automatically returning the ejection container 6 to its initial position can also be achieved, for example, by springs tensioned between the frame 10 and the ejection container 6 or the support structure 9.
In one of the embodiments (not shown in the figure), the gap 4 can be covered with an elastic material stretched between the landing platform 2 and the ejection container 6.
In the embodiment shown in Figures 4 and 5, the ejection container 6 is concave in shape and has a separate bottom 20 which represents the lowest part of the ejection container 6 in the equilibrium position. The separate bottom 20 is fixed to the remaining part of the ejection container 6 in a flexible manner, so that it allows the separate bottom 20 to vibrate independently with respect to the rest of the ejection container 6. The purpose of the separate bottom 20 is that its vibrations can further shake the dice before or during the ejection. The vibration of the separate bottom 20 must be strong enough for the dice lying on it to roll over, yet not so strong for the dice to fall out of the ejection container 6 due to vibration. The vibration of the separate part 20 is achieved by a vibrating means 21 in known ways, for example by an electric motor with an eccentric drive shaft or an electromagnetic coil with a core (solenoid).
