Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coin-operated, time-controlled football, hockey or similar table tennis device with movable rods carrying game figures.
  • either a certain number of balls are provided for a game or a game sequence, or it can be played during a certain period of time and after its expiration as long with the ball then on the field be continued until it disappears into a goal.
  • DE-A-26 57 834 discloses a device for ensuring a correct game on a coin-operated table football device, which works with a plug-in lock in the form of a finger assigned to the goal area and which works with the game rod carrying the goalkeeper is connected and can be moved back and forth.
  • the finger is connected via a telescopic arrangement to a driver attached to the play bar.
  • the invention has for its object to ensure an effective playing time limitation in a coin-operated, time-controlled football, hockey or similar table tennis device of the type mentioned at the outset, without a connection to the mains power supply being necessary.
  • This object is achieved in that at least one of the rods can be locked by a blocking device after the end of the playing time.
  • an alternative solution to the problem is characterized in that at least one of the rods is made difficult to move by a braking device after the end of the playing time.
  • the game is forcibly ended after the end of the playing time to the extent that at least one of the bars is no longer or only stiffly movable, which makes a sensible continuation of the game impossible. It is particularly advantageous to block the bar that carries the goalkeeper or to make it difficult to move, it being possible, of course, to restrict other bars in their freedom of movement.
  • the blocking device or the braking device is released only by purchasing additional playing time and the locking or the stiffness of the rod are thus released.
  • the rod to be locked has at least one groove into which a bolt of the blocking device can be inserted.
  • This form-fitting connection ensures that the rod is locked and further mobility thereof, even with great effort, to maintain the play is ruled out.
  • the groove is expediently let into the rod to be locked in such a way that when the bolt of the blocking device is engaged the vertical figure stands upright.
  • the character usually takes up its basic position at the end of the game.
  • the rod to be locked has a plurality of grooves arranged in any division. As a result, there is the greatest likelihood that, after the end of the playing time, the rod quickly assumes a position in which the bolt of the blocking device can plunge into one of the grooves in the rod and thus the table device is deactivated.
  • the blocking device comprises at least one up and down movable, the bolt-carrying blocking bar, which is guided both in the longitudinal and in the transverse direction in a rod-supporting side wall of the housing of the Ti schspi el device.
  • the bolt attached to the blocking beam is expediently chamfered on its projecting end face. This makes it easier to immerse the bolt in the groove of the rod.
  • the blocking bar carries for each rod to be locked a bolt projecting perpendicularly to its longitudinal axis, which in alignment with the rod assigned to it is fixed in its position in such a way that it is in a corresponding position Movement of the blocking bar can dip into the groove of the associated rod.
  • the projecting bolts are preferably resiliently mounted in their longitudinal direction.
  • the braking device comprises a blocking bar that can be moved up and down and has at least one braking element assigned to a rod that is to be made difficult.
  • the block is held in its upper end position by spring force for locking the rods.
  • the spring force acting on the blocking bar is preferably applied by two compression springs. Since the compression springs serve as mechanical energy stores, no electrical consumer is required for the blocking action of the blocking bar, as a result of which a higher current consumption of the table game device is avoided.
  • the blocking bar can be moved against its spring force to release the locked rods by a manually operated actuating lever into its lower end position, the actuating lever being released by a controllable locking device only when there is sufficient play.
  • the locking device can be implemented by an electromagnetically controlled hold-open device, which requires only a short current pulse both to release and to lock the actuating lever, which pulse is emitted accordingly by the coin processing device.
  • the actuating lever is preferably provided with a driver which transmits the movement of the actuating lever to the blocking bar. This driver is designed and arranged so that the circular arc-shaped movement of the operating lever in a straight line movement, which in the middle of the blocking attack bar, can be implemented. Expediently, fixed stops are assigned to the actuating lever for limiting the travel.
  • the actuating lever is preferably brought into its starting position by means of a return spring, in which it is held by the associated locking device.
  • the blocking bar in its lower end position, in which the compression springs are tensioned is fixed by at least one controllable locking device.
  • the locking device can be controlled electromagnetically by means of a timer.
  • FIG. 1 is a simplified section through the side wall of the housing of a Ti schspi el device according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of the detail II of FIGS. 1 and
  • the coin-operated, time-controlled table game device has a housing 6, in the side walls of which movable rods 2 carrying game figures are mounted.
  • a blocking device 20 for the rods 2 is accommodated in one of the side walls of the housing 6.
  • the blocking device 20 comprises a substantially rectangular, horizontally arranged blocking bar 1, which can be moved up and down.
  • the blocking bar 1 is guided both in its longitudinal and in its transverse direction in the side wall of the housing 6.
  • the other free end of the compression springs 4 is supported in associated cylindrical flat recesses 3 of a counter bearing 5 spaced apart from the blocking beam 1.
  • a bolt 7 is arranged in each case in the longitudinal axis of the rods 2.
  • the bolts 7 can dip into an associated groove 8 of the respective rod 2.
  • the bolt 7 is firmly connected to the blocking beam 1 (FIG. 2).
  • a corresponding number of T-grooves 9 are let into the blocking beams 1.
  • the T-grooves 9 lie transversely to the longitudinal axis of the blocking beam 1 and accommodate the bolts 7 loaded with compression springs 11.
  • the bolts 7 have an enlarged annular projection 10 which specifies the height of the projection of the bolt 7 from the blocking beam 1. Below the annular shoulder 10, the outer diameter of the bolt 7 is dimensioned such that it can be inserted into the inner diameter of the compression spring 11. In any case, the bolt is chamfered on its projecting end face, as a result of which it can be more easily immersed in the groove 8 of the rod 2.
  • the spring-loaded Order of the bolts 7 enables a bolt 7 to be immersed in the groove of the rod 2 assigned to it, with a corresponding overlapping position, regardless of the positions of the other rods 2.
  • FIG. 1 shows the blocking bar 1 in its lower end position, in which the rods 2 are not locked.
  • the compression springs 4 are tensioned and the blocking bar 1 is fixed by locking devices 12, which are actuated by time-controlled electromagnets 13 connected to a battery or an accumulator.
  • the electromagnets 13 After the end of the playing time there is an electrical impulse to the electromagnets 13, which then pull the locks 12 back out of their functional position, whereby the blocking bar 1 with the bolts 7, due to the force of the compression springs 4, moves into its upper end position in the direction of the rods 2 moves.
  • a locked brought to locking bars 2 in a position überchro- are in the groove 8 and pin 7, then 7 immersed the bolt in the groove 8, and hence, the rod 2 by positive engagement between the pin 7 and stem 8 of .
  • a rotatably mounted actuating lever 14, which extends outward through the housing 6, is fixed in its upper starting position by a lock 18 with an associated electromagnet 19.
  • a driver 15 attached to the actuating lever 14 touches the blocking bar 1 in its upper end position.
  • the release of the actuating lever 14 takes place after the purchase of playing time, in that the arrester 18 is withdrawn from its functional position by the electromagnet 19, which has received a corresponding pulse from the coin processing system installed in the coin processing device.
  • the actuating lever 14 is manually counteracted by the force of a reset spring 16 moved to its lower end position.
  • the driver 15 attached to the actuating lever 14 transmits this movement to the blocking bar 1, as a result of which the latter is pressed into its lower end position against the force of the compression springs 4 and is held in place by the locking device 12. So that the rods 2 are freely movable.
  • the actuating lever 14 is moved back into its upper starting position by the return spring 16 and blocked by the arrester 18. Otherwise, the movement of the actuating lever 14 is limited by stops 17 fixed to the housing.
