Im folgenden werden die Erfindung und deren Ausgestal tungen im Zusammenhang mit den Figuren näher erläutert. Es zeigtThe invention and its configuration are described below tions explained in connection with the figures. It shows
Fig. 1 in schematischer Darstellung eine perspektivi sche Ansicht einer Ausführungsform der erfin dungsgemäßen Einrichtung; Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a perspective view of an embodiment of the inventive device.
Fig. 2 eine mit einem Code versehene Spielkarte; und . Figure 2 shows a playing card provided with a code; and
Fig. 3 Einzelheiten einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung. Fig. 3 details of a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention.
In der aus der Fig. 1 ersichtlichen Weise weist die vorliegende Einrichtung ein Gehäuse 3 mit einer Eingabe öffnung 2 zur Eingabe eines Spielkartenstapels 1 und einer Ausgabeöffnung 22, durch die der Spielkartenstapel 1 nach der Ermittlung des Gesamtspielwertes ausgegeben wird, und eine Anzeigeeinrichtung 17 zur Anzeige des ermittelten Gesamtspielwertes des Spielkartenstapels 1 auf. Es wird darauf hingewiesen, daß in die vorliegende Einrichtung auch einzelne Spielkarten eingegeben werden können.In the manner shown in the Fig. 1 example, the present device has a housing 3 with an input port 2 for input of a playing card stack 1 and an output port 22 through which the playing cards stack 1 is output by calculating the overall match value, and a display device 17 for display of the determined total game value of the deck of cards 1 . It is pointed out that individual playing cards can also be entered in the present device.
Die Eingabe eines Spielkartenstapels 1 in die Eingabe öffnung 2 erfolgt vorzugsweise in der Richtung des Pfeiles 21 von oben. Der eingegebene Spielkartenstapel 1 wird entweder manuell oder automatisch in eine Soll-Lage im inneren des Gehäuses 3 geführt, von der aus die einzelnen Spielkarten des Spielkartenstapels 1 aufeinan derfolgend zu einer Auswertestation und danach zur Ausgabeöffnung 22 geführt werden.The input of a deck of playing cards 1 into the input opening 2 is preferably carried out in the direction of arrow 21 from above. The entered deck of cards 1 is either manually or automatically guided into a desired position in the interior of the housing 3 , from which the individual deck cards of the deck 1 are successively guided to an evaluation station and then to the dispensing opening 22 .
Beim Durchlaufen der Auswertestation wird der Wert der jeweiligen Spielkarten durch einen Sensor 16 (Fig. 3) ermittelt. Der Sensor 16 erzeugt ein dem ermittelten Wert entsprechendes elektrisches Signal, das einer elektronischen Verarbeitungseinrichtung bzw. einem Mik rokomputer 18 oder dergl. zugeführt wird. Der Mikrokom puter 18 addiert die aufeinanderfolgend in ihn eingege benen elektrischen Signale, die den Werten der Spielkar ten 1′ des Spielstapels 1 entsprechen auf und legt, nachdem die letzte Spielkarte 1′ ausgewertet wurde, ein den Gesamtspielwert des ausgewerteten Spielkartenstapels 1 anzeigendes Anzeigesignal zur alphanumerischen Anzeige des Gesamtspielwertes an die Anzeigeeinrichtung 17 an.When passing through the evaluation station, the value of the respective playing cards is determined by a sensor 16 ( FIG. 3). The sensor 16 generates an electrical signal corresponding to the determined value, which is fed to an electronic processing device or a micro computer 18 or the like. The Mikrokom computer 18 adds the consecutively entered electrical signals in him, which correspond to the values of the Spielkar ten 1 'of the game stack 1 and, after the last game card 1 ' has been evaluated, a display signal indicating the total game value of the evaluated game card stack 1 to the alphanumeric Display of the total play value on the display device 17 .
Der Sensor 16 wertet vorzugsweise einen an einer vorge gebenen Stelle der einzelnen Spielkarten 1′ für die Spieler unsichtbar oder nicht erfaßbar angebrachten Code aus, bei dem es sich beispielsweise um einen vorzugs weise auf der Vorderseite der Spielkarten vorgesehenen, bekannten Strichcode handelt. Besonders bevorzugt wird dieser Code an der Vorderseite der einzelnen Spielkarten 1′ derart angebracht, daß eine Auswertung unabhängig von der Lage der einzelnen Spielkarten 1′ im Spielkartensta pel 1 erfolgen kann. Zweckmäßigerweise wird daher dieser Code an der Vorderseite der Spielkarte im Bereich der Hälfte der Länge oder Breite der Spielkarten 1′ angebracht. Es ist auch denkbar, einen für die Spieler unsichtbaren Code an den Vorder- und/oder Rückseiten der Spielkarten, bei spielsweise in der genannten Art anzuordnen.The sensor 16 preferably evaluates a given at a pre-given location of the individual playing cards 1 'for the player invisible or non-detectable code, which is, for example, a preferred, provided on the front of the playing cards, known bar code. This code is particularly preferably attached to the front of the individual playing cards 1 'in such a way that an evaluation can take place independently of the position of the individual playing cards 1 ' in the Spielkartensta stack 1 . This code is therefore expediently attached to the front of the playing card in the region of half the length or width of the playing cards 1 '. It is also conceivable to arrange a code invisible to the players on the front and / or back of the playing cards, for example in the manner mentioned.
Es ist ferner denkbar, einen Sensor 16 vorzusehen, der optisch bestimmte Bereiche von im Handel befindlichen Spielkarten auswerten kann. Beispielsweise kann ein derartiger Sensor in der in der Fig. 3 dargestellten Weise so angeordnet sein, daß er die in den Ecken der Vorderseite von Spielkarten 1′ üblicherweise angebrach ten Symbole (z.B. "2" bis "10", "B", "D", "K", "A") optisch zur Erzeugung der an den Mikrokomputer 18 anzu legenden elektrischen Signale erfaßt. In diesem Fall ist darauf zu achten, daß in einem eingelegten Spielkarten stapel 1 alle Spielkarten zur Seite des Sensors 16 ausgerichtet sind.It is also conceivable to provide a sensor 16 which can evaluate optically defined areas of playing cards that are commercially available. For example, such a sensor can be arranged in the manner shown in FIG. 3 so that it is in the corners of the front of playing cards 1 'usually attached symbols (eg "2" to "10", "B", "D "," K "," A ") optically to generate the electrical signals to be placed on the microcomputer 18 . In this case, care must be taken to ensure that all playing cards are aligned to the side of sensor 16 in a playing card stack 1 .
Aus der Fig. 3 geht eine beispielhafte mechanische Einrichtung hervor, durch die ein durch die Eingabeöff nung 2 eingeführter Spielkartenstapel 1 zunächst in die Sollage gebracht aus dieser über die Auswertestation zur Ausgabeöffnung 22 transportiert wird. Vorzugsweise befindet sich unterhalb der Eingabeöffnung 2 ein An schlag, der den eingebrachten Spielkartenstapel 1 in der vertikalen Richtung justiert. Zweckmäßigerweise weist der Anschlag die Form einer vorzugsweise horizontal ausgerichteten Anschlagplatte 7 auf, die sich vom Bereich unterhalb der Eingabeöffnung 2 vorzugsweise bis zur Ausgabeöffnung 22 erstreckt und auch dazu dient, während des Transportes der Spielkarten durch die Aus wertestation zur Ausgabeöffnung 22 die genannte Justie rung der Spielkarten beizubehalten. An die gegenüberlie genden Querkanten der Eingabeöffnung 2, die in der Richtung der Dicke des Spielkartenstapels 1 verlaufen, können sich nach innen erstreckende streifenförmige Führungslaschen 24 befestigt sein, die den Zusammenhalt des Spielkartenstapels in seiner Längsrichtung sicher stellen.From Fig. 3, an exemplary mechanical means it can be seen by a voltage through the Eingabeöff 2 inserted game card stack 1 is first brought into the desired position of the latter is transported over the evaluator to output opening 22. Preferably, there is an impact below the input opening 2 , which adjusts the inserted deck of cards 1 in the vertical direction. Advantageously, the stop has the shape of a preferably horizontally oriented stop plate 7 , which extends from the area below the input opening 2 preferably to the dispensing opening 22 and also serves during the transport of the playing cards through the evaluation station to the dispensing opening 22 the adjustment mentioned To maintain playing cards. At the opposite transverse edges of the input opening 2 , which extend in the direction of the thickness of the stack of playing cards 1 , inwardly extending strip-shaped guide tabs 24 can be attached, which ensure the cohesion of the stack of playing cards in its longitudinal direction.
Wenn ein durch die Eingabeöffnung 2 eingebrachter Spiel kartenstapel 1 in der vorgegebenen vertikalen Position auf dem Anschlagblech 7 unterhalb der Eingabeöffnung 2 aufliegt, wird beispielsweise motorisch oder manuell eine Andruckplatte 5 derart bewegt, daß sie den Spiel stapel in der Richtung des Pfeiles 4, d.h. also in der Richtung der Normalen der Spielkarten 1′, bewegt, bis die vorderste Spielkarte 1′ an einer Anlageplatte 6 anliegt, die senkrecht zur Anschlagplatte 7 ausgerichtet ist. Dieser Zustand wird zweckmäßigerweise durch einen Fühler 13, bei dem es sich vorzugsweise um einen Druck fühler handelt, der in einer Aussparung 10 der Anlage platte montiert ist, angezeigt und einem motorischen Antrieb 12 in der Form eines Einschaltsignales zuge führt. Dies hat zur Folge, daß durch den motorischen Antrieb 12 der Transport der an der Anlageplatte 6 anliegenden Spielkarte 1′ zur Auswertestation, d.h. also zum Sensor 16 eingeleitet wird. Beispielsweise betätigt der motorische Antrieb 12 in der Transportrichtung nebeneinanderliegende Transportrollen 11, von denen die erste durch eine Aussparung 9 der Anlageplatte 6 derart hindurchgreift, daß sie reibschlüssig an der ihr zuge wandten Fläche der genannten ersten Spielkarte anliegt. Der Abstand der Transportrollen 11 ist so bemessen, daß die jeweils nächstfolgende Transportrolle an der gerade transportierten Spielkarte 1′ angreift, bevor diese den Wirkungsbereich der vorangehenden Transportrolle 11 verläßt. In der Auswertestation werden die einzelnen Spielkarten des Spielkartenstapels 1 aufeinanderfolgend an dem Sensor 16 vorbeigeführt. Vorzugsweise werden die Spielkarten dabei aufeinanderfolgend durch einen engen Spalt hindurchgeführt, der zwischen einer vertikal ausgerichteten Justierplatte 25 und den Transportrollen 11 im Bereich der Auswertestation gebildet wird. Vor zugsweise weist die Justierplatte 25 an ihrem der Anla geplatte 6 zugewandten Ende eine durch eine Abwinkelung hergestellte Einfahrschräge für die einzelnen Spielkar ten auf. Es ist auch denkbar, an der Stelle der genannten Transportrollen 11 ein Transportband oder dergleichen vorzusehen.When an inserted through the input opening 2 game card stack 1 rests in the predetermined vertical position on the stop plate 7 below the input opening 2 , a pressure plate 5 is moved, for example, by motor or manual means such that it stacks the game in the direction of arrow 4 , ie in the direction of the normal of the playing cards 1 ', moves until the foremost playing card 1 ' abuts a contact plate 6 which is oriented perpendicular to the stop plate 7 . This state is expediently indicated by a sensor 13 , which is preferably a pressure sensor, which is mounted in a recess 10 of the system plate and leads to a motor drive 12 in the form of a switch-on signal. The consequence of this is that the motor drive 12 initiates the transport of the game card 1 'resting on the contact plate 6 ' to the evaluation station, that is to say to the sensor 16 . For example, the motor drive 12 actuates adjacent transport rollers 11 in the transport direction, of which the first engages through a recess 9 of the contact plate 6 in such a way that it lies frictionally against the surface of the first game card mentioned facing it. The distance between the transport rollers 11 is dimensioned such that the next transport roller in each case attacks the playing card 1 'just transported before it leaves the area of action of the preceding transport roller 11 . In the evaluation station, the individual playing cards of the playing card stack 1 are successively guided past the sensor 16 . The playing cards are preferably passed successively through a narrow gap which is formed between a vertically oriented adjustment plate 25 and the transport rollers 11 in the region of the evaluation station. Before preferably, the adjusting plate 25 at its end facing the Anla geplatte 6 an angle produced by a bend for the individual Spielkar th. It is also conceivable to provide a conveyor belt or the like at the location of the aforementioned transport rollers 11 .
Zweckmäßigerweise endet die Justierplatte 25 kurz vor der Ausgabeöffnung 22 des Gehäuses 3, so daß die einzelnen Spielkarten aufeinanderfolgend nach der Auswertung in der Auswertestation durch die Ausgabeöffnung 22 ausgegeben werden.The adjustment plate 25 expediently ends shortly before the dispensing opening 22 of the housing 3 , so that the individual playing cards are successively dispensed through the dispensing opening 22 after the evaluation in the evaluation station.
Bei der Ausgabe durch die Ausgabeöffnung 22 gleiten die einzelnen Spielkarten 1′ mit ihren Unterkanten vorzugs weise auf einer nach außen durch die Ausgabeöffnung 22 hindurchragenden Verlängerung der Anschlagplatte 7 bis sie mit ihrer zuerst aus der Ausgabeöffnung 22 austre tenden Längskante an einem sich vertikal nach oben erstreckenden Anschlag 8 anstoßen. Der Abstand zwischen dem Anschlag 8 und der Ausgabeöffnung 22 ist grö8er als die Breite der Spielkarten 1′ bemessen, so daß diese nach dem Anschlagen an dem Anschlag 8 in der Richtung des Pfeiles 19 auf eine von der Ebene der Anschlagplatte 7 nach unten verlaufende schräge Fläche 26 einer Ausga beeinheit 20 fallen können und dort wieder zu einem Stapel 1′′ gestapelt werden (Fig. 1). Die einzelnen Spielkarten werden vorzugsweise durch eine an dem An schlag 8 befestigte streifenförmige, gekrümmte Führung 27 in die geschilderte Kipplage geführt.When dispensing through the dispensing opening 22, the individual playing cards 1 'slide with their lower edges preferentially on an outwardly projecting through the dispensing opening 22 extension of the stop plate 7 until they first emerge from the dispensing opening 22 longitudinal edge on a vertically upward extending Trigger stop 8 . The distance between the stop 8 and the dispensing opening 22 is larger than the width of the playing cards 1 ', so that after striking the stop 8 in the direction of arrow 19 on an inclined surface extending from the plane of the stop plate 7 downward 26 an output unit 20 can fall and be stacked there again to a stack 1 '' ( Fig. 1). The individual playing cards are preferably guided by a stripe 8 attached to the strip-shaped, curved guide 27 in the described tilt position.
Zweckmäßigerweise wird die Auswerteoperation durch den Mikroprozessor 18 fortlaufend ausgeführt und dann been det, wenn eine vorgegebene Zeitdauer lang keine Spiel karte mehr zur Auswertestation geführt wird, d.h., wenn die letzte Spielkarte des Stapels 1 ausgewertet wurde. Es wird dann der ermittelte Gesamtspielwert an der Anzeigeeinrichtung 17 angezeigt.The evaluation operation is expediently carried out continuously by the microprocessor 18 and then ended when a game card is no longer guided to the evaluation station for a predetermined period of time, ie when the last game card of the stack 1 has been evaluated. The total game value determined is then displayed on the display device 17 .
Der Mikroprozessor 18 kann so ausgestaltet sein, daß er die ihm eingegebenen Spielkarten entsprechend der gerade relevanten Spielart auswertet. Dies bedeutet, daß z.B. bei einer Spielart die "Bilder (Bube, Dame, König) als "10" gewertet werden, während diese Bilder bei einer anderen Spielart als "2", "3" bzw. "4" gewertet werden. The microprocessor 18 can be designed in such a way that it evaluates the playing cards that have been input to it according to the currently relevant type of game. This means that, for example, the "pictures (jack, queen, king) are rated as" 10 "in one game type, while these pictures are rated as" 2 "," 3 "or" 4 "in another game type.
Hierfür kann der Mikroprozessor 18 Tasten 30 (Fig. 3) aufweisen, die entsprechend der jeweiligen Spielart (Skat, Romm´, Bridge, Poker) zu betätigen sind. Es ist auch denkbar, daß der Mikrocomputer zum Beispiel beim Einsatz beim Pokerspiel nach der Betätigung einer spe ziellen Taste bestimmte Reihen (z.B. "7, 8, 9, 10") oder mehrere gleiche Bilder (z.B. vier Könige) erkennen und entsprechend auswerten kann, sofern diese Karten in dem eingegebenen Stapel aufeinanderfolgen.For this purpose, the microprocessor 18 can have keys 30 ( FIG. 3) which are to be actuated in accordance with the respective type of game (skat, rummy, bridge, poker). It is also conceivable that the microcomputer, for example when using poker, after pressing a special key, can recognize and evaluate certain rows (eg "7, 8, 9, 10") or several identical pictures (eg four kings), if these cards follow each other in the entered pile.
Es ist auch denkbar, die Anschlagplatte 7 gegenüber der Horizontalen und die Anlageplatte gegenüber der Vertika len derart zu neigen, daß der Spielkartenstapel 1 infol ge seines Eigengewichtes die Sollage automatisch erreicht und an der senkrecht zur Fläche der Anschlagplatte 7 ausgerichteten Anlageplatte 6 anliegt und daß die dem Spielkartenstapel 1 aufeinanderfolgend entnommenen Spiel karten 1′ infolge ihres Eigengewichtes an den Umfangs flächen der Transportrollen 1 reibschlüssig anliegen. Bei dieser Ausführungsform fallen dann die durch die Ausgabeöffnung 22 entlang der Verlängerung der Anschlag platte 7 zum Anschlag 8 geführten Spielkarten 1′ auf eine gegenüber der geneigten Anschlagplatte 7 stärker geneigte Fläche, um auf dieser gestapelt zu werden. Die Ausgabeöffnung ist in diesem Fall ebenfalls entsprechend der Anlageplatte 6 geneigt. Durch punktierte Linien sind die Neigungsrichtungen für die Platten 6′, 7′ in der Fig. 3 angedeutet.It is also conceivable to incline the stop plate 7 with respect to the horizontal and the abutment plate with respect to the vertica such that the deck of playing cards 1 automatically reaches the desired position due to its own weight and rests against the abutment plate 6 aligned perpendicular to the surface of the stop plate 7 and that the deck of cards 1 consecutively removed game cards 1 'due to their own weight on the circumferential surfaces of the transport rollers 1 abut frictionally. In this embodiment, then the plate through the discharge port 22 along the extension of the stop 7 guided to the stop 8 playing cards 1 fall 'on an opposite of the inclined stop plate 7 more strongly inclined surface, to be stacked thereon. In this case, the dispensing opening is also inclined in accordance with the contact plate 6 . Dotted lines indicate the inclination directions for the plates 6 ', 7 ' in Fig. 3.
