  • Rear molded beads 6 stiffen the magazine wall 5 , which merges towards the front at one end (top in FIG. 1) into a nose 7 and at its other (lower) end runs out via a ramp 8 in a stiffening threshold 9, the front of which Front edge 10 with the nose edge 11 and the band 3 lies in one plane, the front plane (FIGS. 1 to 3).
  • the nose 7 , the ramp 8 and the stiffening threshold 9 are formed in a material and weight-saving manner as a hollow body.
  • the nose 7 is provided with a nostril 12 , and behind the front edge 10 there is in the middle a cuboid space 13 for receiving an intermediate piece 14 to be described, which is detachably connected to the mounting block 2 by a spring catch 15 .
  • the band 3 running around on the left is designed as a skid 16 at the bottom. It should be noted that the position designations “below” and “above” relate only to the representation of the drawing, but not to the position of use of the mounting block 2 or the display device 1 .
  • a second runner 16 ' of the same width as the first extends on the right under the stiffening threshold 9 , the ramp 8 and under the magazine wall 5 . It runs parallel to the first and is connected by webs 17 with the aforementioned formations 9 , 8 and 5 and with the front edge 10 .
  • a guide groove 18 is formed between the runners 16 and 16 ' , which is widened in a funnel shape at the front. In the guide groove 18 extends a spring catch 19 to the rear, which ends in an actuating lever 20 .
  • a small positioning wedge 21 emerges from the front edge 10 of the stiffening threshold 9 and is arranged above the guide groove 18 in the region of the funnel-shaped widening.
  • a step gear 22 with two different ring gears and an adjustment bearing plate 23 are placed in the above-mentioned compartments, and a bearing plate 24 is plugged on, a first bearing axis 25 penetrating the gear wheel 22 and a bearing hole 26 on the adjustment bearing plate 23 a guide disc 27 centered.
  • the bearing plate 24 covers only a part of the area enclosed by the band 3 , but protrudes on all four sides up to the band 3 , so that it can only be positively installed in the correct position. Screws are used to secure them.
  • a control board is screwed onto the part of the area delimited by the band 3 that is not covered by the bearing plate 24 .
  • a stepper motor 28 is attached to the adjustment bearing plate 23 , the shaft of which carries a pinion which meshes with the larger ring gear of the step gear 22 . Excitation strands of the stepper motor are led out with a quadruple line, which ends in a plug.
  • the connector is inserted into a mating connector on the board, which carries control logic with a driver circuit.
  • the circuit board carries a further connector strip, via which the operating current and indexing pulses are received and positioning pulses of a light barrier likewise located on the circuit board are sent back in the form of a fork coupler 29 .
  • a second bearing axis 30 which is also firmly connected to the bearing plate 24 and to which the magazine wall 5 runs concentrically, serves to accommodate a folding table carousel 31 .
  • the folding panel carousel 31 consists of a hub part 32 which has two identical perforated ring disks 34 which are connected to one another by a sleeve 33 .
  • Each ring rim 34 has 60 holes, which are evenly distributed over the circumference of the ring rim 34 .
  • Two holes opposite each other on a parallel to the axis of rotation on the two perforated rings 34 form a pair of holes which carries a folding panel 35 on trunnions, so that the carousel has 60 folding panels.
  • a circular hollow cylinder adjoins the left-hand rim plate 34 , which carries a ring gear and a marking at its rear end.

  • the outer edges of the folding panels 35 which bear against the magnetic wall 5 , are pulled along at a constant angular speed with a constant traction speed determined by the radius of the magazine wall 5 .
  • the folding panels 35 which are pulled along the bridge of the nose 37 of the nose 7 , experience a slowdown in their traction speed due to the reduced radius, and there is a congestion of the folding panels 35 , in which the latter are slightly bent due to their elasticity.
  • the rear display position is stable due to gravity, both the upright operating position according to FIGS. 1-4 and the horizontal operating position according to FIG. 5 being possible.
  • the pivoting of the folding boards 35 which is comparable to turning the pages of a book, is supported by an air flow from the nostril.
  • This support is required in particular when using fan cooling in the slot machine 1 and in order to be able to choose the operating position freely; the airflow stabilizes the rear display position.
  • the air passes from a compressor device via a hose into a hose nozzle of the intermediate piece 14 , which is designed as a nozzle in the area of the nostril 12 .
  • the pivoted folding panels 35 initially jam again in front of the ramp 8 , in which the movement is reversed. In the reversal point, the flap plate 35 projects radially from the hub part 32 .
  • the folding panel carousel 31 is stopped by randomly stopping the stepping motor 28 in order to display one or two symbols to the player on two folding panels 35 , one in the front and the other in the rear display position, depending on whether the pair of folding panels is printed with half or full symbols is.
  • the pair of folding boards shows a partial result of the game which, in combination with symbols displayed on further pairs of folding boards, represents an overall game result.
  • the stepper motor 28 can be rotated on its adjustment bearing disk 23 about its axis of rotation, so that the phase position between the advance pulse and folding can be adjusted.
  • the adjusting bearing plate 23 is clamped between the bearing plate 24 and the compartment wall, so that a frictional force is aroused, which can be adjusted by the screws with which the bearing plate 24 is held on the mounting block 2 .
  • a lifting magnet can also be used, the armature of which acts on a tooth lock.
  • 3 and 4 show a plurality of display devices 1 arranged next to and above one another in different receiving frames 39 .
  • 3 shows a guide web 41 punched into a bottom wall 40 , which sits in the guide groove 18 when the display device 1 is inserted.
  • a slot 43 is punched into the inclined front wall 42 of the mounting frame 39 made of sheet metal and determines the position and height of the display device 1 on its positioning wedge 21 .
  • the bottom wall 40 also carries a bracket 44 which holds the display device 1 unlockable on its spring catch 19 .
  • FIG. 5 shows a table game machine 45 with two opposite game points, in which two of the receiving frames 43 shown in FIG. 3 are used.
