Abstract
A gambling device has a base plate (1') and attached to the latter a spring rod (2) to be set moving in bending oscillations. Several disks (15 to 18) are arranged on the latter. The lowermost disk is formed as a catch disk (18) to which pin-shaped spacers (21) and upwards protruding catching pins (22) are attached.
Claims13
A gambling device comprising a base plate (1, 1');
- an oscillatory spring rod (2) having a lower and clamped in said base plate (1, 1') and provided with an operating knob (13) at its upper free end;
- a plurality of disks (15 to 18) arranged on said spring rod (2) for free displacement along the spring rod, of which disks a lower play disk (16) has symbols and of which an upper play disk (17) has at least one of a window (31) and a marking, associated with one of the symbols;
- a spacer (21, 37) located between the disks and the base plate, and when the disks (15 to 18) are in a rest position, the spacer (21, 37) rests on the base plate spacing the disks (15 to 18) from the base plate (1, 1');
- a ring of locking holes (27, 28) being provided at least in the play disks (16, 17);
- and
- catching devices associated with the locking holes;
- which catching devices are in the form of catching pins (22, 22') spaced to receive the locking holes of the play disks (16, 17);
- wherein the spacer (21, 37) and the catching pins (22, 22') are attached to a catch disk (15, 15'), which is freely displaceable on the spring rod (2), said catch disk (15) is positioned below the other disks (16 to 18) such that in the rest position all the disks (16, 17, 18) are arranged above the catch disk (15).
