And, as shown in Fig. 5, the dice 17 to which the magnets 15, 15' with different arrangement and number are attached is seated on the bottom of the operating unit 10, 10'. And, owing to magnetic force of the magnets 15, 15', the lead switches 11a, l ib, l ie, 1 Id on the bottom of the operating unit 10, 10' are grounded.
  • the circuit for detecting a surface can be configured with only simple circuitry.
  • this configuration is based on positive logic or negative logic that an input gate normally stays at a high state (HI) by flip resistance, but when the dice 17 is seated on the bottom, the gate turns into a low state (LO) by grounding.
  • the striking shaft 12 gives an impact on a lower surface of the dice 17 by the solenoid 13 so that the dice 17 is thrown up and rotated.
  • the operating unit 10, 10' has the inclined wall 14 so that the thrown-up and rotated dice 17 may fall down and seat onto its initial position.
  • the lead switches 11a, l ib, l ie, 1 Id are formed to each corner of the bottom, and one ends of the lead switches 11a, l ib, l ie, 1 Id are all connected to the grounding GND, while the other ends are connected to the input gate (VCC voltage).
  • the dice 17 is capable of turning with ascending and descending inside the operating unit 10, 10' configured as above.
  • the lead switches 11a, 1 lb, l ie, 1 Id may response to magnetic force of the magnets 15, 15'.
  • surface detection of the dice 17 can be significantly simplified, and the game machine can be entirely automatized.
  • the magnets 15, 15' can be buried in the surface of the dice 17 without consideration of their polarity, so enabling easy manufacturing.
  • the sensor 20 since the sensor 20 is formed at the lower sidewall of the operating unit 10, 10', the sensor 20 may recognize whether the dice is properly seated. Thus, when the dice is seated improperly, it is possible to output a warning message to rearrange the dice by playing the game again. In addition, it is also possible to operate the sensor and the display only when the sensor detects that the dice is properly seated, for more reliability.
  • the simple logic circuit enables to easily detect surfaces of the different dice. As shown in Fig. 7, if the whole surface of the dice 17 is made of conductive material and insulators 18, 18' are attached to each surface A, B, C, D, E and F with different number, the surface can be detected with result of grounding of the conductive protrusions 16, 16' and the grounding protrusion 19 formed on the bottom.
  • the dice surface detecting device for a game machine can be easily manufactured and simplify circuitry design since it may output a surface figure with a simple logic circuit through the surface detecting means for reading out a surface of the dice and a simple logic circuit and through reading out a grounding of the lead switch without other calculation process.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un appareil de détection de la surface d'un dé pour une machine de jeu, qui comprend des aimants ou des isolants qui sont fixés sur des surfaces d'un dé standard et des moyens de détection des surfaces tel qu'un commutateur à lames ou une protubérance conductrice et une protubérance à la masse qui servent à détecter les aimants ou les isolants placés sur la surface du dé. Le dispositif de détection des surfaces détecte l'état de mise à la masse des aimants ou des isolants qui sont fixés suivant différents motifs sur la surface correspondante du dé. De cette manière, il est seulement nécessaire de fixer des aimants ou des isolants sur les surfaces d'un dé standard, ce qui assure à l'appareil une fabrication aisée. Après avoir été lue par le moyen de détection des surfaces, l'information relative aux aimants ou aux isolants fixés aux surfaces du dé peuvent être délivrée directement par l'intermédiaire d'un circuit logique simple, ce qui permet de simplifier la conception de son circuit.
