Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for filling out or marking gambling, betting or lottery tickets with a plurality of fields, in which number boxes are provided in rows and columns, with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • Comparable devices are known. According to DE-31 30 939 A1, a stencil is provided for marking notes of the type mentioned, which has detachable raster fields arranged in a grid in at least one window opening. The grid fields corresponding to the desired marking can be extracted and individual marking of the betting slip is then possible without transmission errors.
  • This known device is used to select a subset from a symbol set arranged in a grid on a flat structure.
  • DE 32 32 420 A1 describes a device similar to this.
  • an individual template is provided in order to reduce the time required to fill out a game ticket, especially when filling out several games and when using the same number combinations.
  • the template is produced by pressing out the pre-punched boxes or by pressing stamp blocks into the recesses provided for this purpose.
  • the bill is inserted into a device and the crosses are made in the free areas of the templates or they are obtained by pressing in stamp blocks.
  • the US-PS 51 58 294 shows and describes such a device.
  • each marking field of a ticket is assigned a retractable stamp, each stamp being freely displaceable in a guide channel of a guide plate.
  • the lower support of the stamp is carried out by means of a clamped over the underside of the guide plate Stamp ink sheet.
  • the stamps and the betting slip are pressed together by simultaneously pressing the yoke of a bracket against the stamps from above and a roller guided by the bracket legs against the betting slip from below. Balls can move freely in the space above the stamp, the number of balls corresponding to the number of fields to be marked.
  • stamps are held in their guides only by the stamp ink sheet below, so that a separate pressing device is provided must, so that the possibly depressed stamp can make a color impression on the ticket. Since no own restoring elements are provided for the stamp, but rather can move freely in their guides, it cannot be ruled out that they will jam or jam in the guides if an upward force is exerted from below by the tensioned stamp ink sheet that can not always act centrally on the stamp.
  • the number of stamps must correspond to the number of fields on a ticket, although only a few of these numerous fields are to be marked.
  • the upper end faces of the stamp are flush with the top of the plate having the guides for the stamp, so that the randomly moving balls can hardly find places where they can snap in for their arbitrary position.
  • the design effort involved in this known device is enormous, but the functionality of this known device is extremely questionable.
  • the invention starts from this last-mentioned prior art and aims to propose a device with which the selection of the number boxes to be marked on a game ticket is carried out by chance, the elements taking up the random position being used at the same time to transmit the color markings.
  • the invention is characterized by those features that are the content and subject of the characterizing part of claim 1. Thanks to this device, the fields or number boxes to be marked are selected by chance, which considerably increases the appeal of the game.
  • FIG. 1 shows a vertical section through the device and FIG. 2 shows a cross section along the line II-II in FIG. 1; 3 shows an oblique view of the device; and FIG. 4 shows a detail of the device on a scale enlarged compared to the other figures and in the manner of an exploded drawing; Fig. 5 shows a detail.
  • the device which is shown enlarged compared to the actual configuration and is not designed to correspond to a conventional lottery ticket for the sake of clarity, has a template 1 in the form of a rectangular, small plate, preferably made of metal, the thickness S of which is approx. Is 2 mm.
  • this template 1 circular openings 2 are left out, the arrangement and number of which corresponds to the number boxes of a number field of a lottery ticket.
  • On this template 1 there are freely movable balls 3, the number of which is less than the number of openings 2.
  • These balls 3 have a diameter of 3 mm, for example.
  • the diameter of the openings 2 is at least as large, expediently somewhat larger, so that the balls 3 could fall through these openings 2.
  • this device is used for filling out or marking lottery tickets that are customary here, 45 openings 2 and six balls 3 are provided in the template 1 (6 of 45).
  • a thin, easily deformable separating film 4 is provided below the template 1.
  • an ink carrier 5 which suitably consists of foam rubber or foam rubber with a thickness H of approximately 1.5 mm. If this foam rubber or foam rubber serving as the ink carrier has a closed, dense surface which faces the stencil 1, then the arrangement of the separating film 4 is not required. In this case, the closed surface of the ink carrier 5 also takes over the function of the separating film 4.
  • this ink carrier 5 there is a retaining plate 6, which likewise has openings which, in terms of their number and arrangement, correspond and congruently to the openings 2 of the template 1 are.
  • the diameter d of these openings 7 in the retaining plate 6 is somewhat smaller than the diameter D1 of the openings 2 in the template 1 (FIG. 4).
  • FIGS. 1, 2 and 4 The parts described above, namely the template 1, the separating film 4 - if present - the ink carrier 5 and the retaining plate 6 are shown somewhat apart in FIGS. 1, 2 and 4. In a specific embodiment of the device according to the invention, these flat and plate-like parts lie directly against one another.
  • the thickness N of the retaining plate 6 is approx. 0.5 mm.
  • the lower edges of their openings 7 are expediently chamfered, as FIG. 5 shows on a larger scale than the other figures.
  • a pressure plate 9 is mounted in a vertically displaceable manner in this housing.
  • This pressure plate 9 has driver pins 10 on the end face, which protrude through vertical longitudinal slots 11 of the housing 8.
  • An actuating handle 12 extends over the housing 8 in a yoke-like manner and is connected with its legs 13 pointing downward to the free ends of the driver pins 10 protruding from the housing 8.
  • Pressure springs 15 are arranged between the top 14 of the housing 8 and the actuating handle 12, by means of which the pressure plate 9 is held in an upper position shown in FIGS.
  • the housing 8 has at its lower edge a laterally somewhat protruding base plate 17, which on the one hand serves the stability of the housing, on the other hand serves to position the device in relation to the fields of the token to be marked and in which the plate-like components discussed above also lie.
  • This device now works as follows: Before the device is placed on a playing field of a ticket, it is shaken a little so that the balls 3 on or in the template 1 assume an arbitrary position in the openings 2, a position that is determined solely and by chance. Each of the balls 3 provided here looks for an opening 2 in the template 1, so to speak, in which it assumes its random position. Now the device is placed on a number field of a game ticket, positioned accordingly, and then the actuating handle 12 is pressed down against the force of the springs 15. As a result, the pressure plate 9 acts on the balls 3 and presses them onto the ink carrier 5, which in turn is now pressed in a punctiform manner through the openings 7 and thereby the one below it Place of the ticket marked in color.
  • the ink carrier 5 is somewhat elastic - it is expediently made of foam or foam rubber - it presses the balls acting on it back up as soon as these balls 3 are relieved by the release of the actuating handle 12. If it is mentioned above that the openings 2 and 7 are circular, it should be noted here that these openings 2 and / or 7 can also have other contours. The size of these openings 2 in the template 1 is also always and regardless of the design of its peripheral contour so dimensioned that the balls 3 could fall through if the underside of the template 1 were free.
  • the separating film 4 or the closed top of the ink carrier 5 is intended to prevent the ink picked up and stored by the ink carrier 5 from reaching the balls 3. This color could deposit on the surface of the balls 3 and, if it is somewhat sticky, impair the free mobility of these balls 3 in the space 16 with the pressure plate 9 lying on top.
  • the openings 2 have a diameter D1, which may be somewhat smaller than the diameter D2 of the balls 3, the marking ability of the balls is impaired because they can only enter the opening under the influence of the pressure plate 9 to a limited extent.
  • the thickness S of the template 1 has been given above with approx. 1 mm with a ball diameter D2 of approx. 3 mm. It is within the scope of the invention to vary these dimensions in the order of magnitude specified.
  • a feature of the invention also provides that the retaining plate 6 is releasably attached to the housing 8, so that the ink carrier 5 can be replaced if the amount of ink stored by it should be used up.
  • the chamfering of the openings 7 on the retaining plate serves to prevent the the balls 3 pressed through color is smeared here. This constructive design creates an annular space between the actual printing point and the lower edge of the opening 7, which prevents this mentioned smearing of the color.
