Definitions
- the invention relates to a television game device for tamper-proof recording and storage of data in TV competitions, hereinafter referred to as the memorator.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a device of the type mentioned, which allows an unlimited number of television viewers of such competitive events to participate directly in such a way that the results of such television games, for example guessing games, can be taken from any participant outside the television studio in a cost-effective manner written down, fixed in time and then made available to the broadcaster without the possibility of forgery or subsequent changes in results.
- a closable note carrier in the form of a paper strip, which is combined with a synchronized time printer, which consists of a computer, a quartz watch, a printer and a battery, the paper strip for recording the competition result through a note window of the note holder is accessible and by means of a switch button which can be actuated after the recording of the competition result on the paper strip in order to print the time on the paper strip and to move the paper strip forward under a closure zone of the note carrier by means of a transport device by a certain section which corresponds to the labeling area , by a ratchet wheel with a pawl, which locks its backward movement after the forward movement of the transport device, and by a security lock which closes the hinged cover of the note carrier housing and covers the closure zone ß.
- Such memorators are handy, small devices that are sent to interested viewers by mail before the television broadcast of the corresponding television program, and which enable every viewer at home during the course of a TV competition to have their answers directly on a paper strip with uninfluenced, synchronous, printed time information can be recorded, which is forgery-proof after writing the answer in a part of the note carrier housing, which is no longer accessible from the outside, except by the TV station itself, which the locked housing after the TV broadcast of the competition and return of the housing to the TV station or another location collecting the housing, possibly under the supervision of a notary public, in order to evaluate the answers noted on the note strip.
- This device or the paper strip in it is therefore a forgery-proof document that can be evaluated after it has been sent to the TV studio in question.
- the basic principle of the invention is thus a closable note strip, combined with a synchronized time printer or a synchronized time marker, which can be moved forward step by step, but cannot be moved backwards by means of a lock and which, for example, has two columns, namely one for the time and the other for the recording of the competition results, for example the answers in guessing games, the latter being able to be labeled by the participant with the results of the competition through a window in the cover of the note carrier housing.
- the participant actuates a shift key, whereby the note strip is moved forward by a predetermined line section with the aid of a transport device and thereby gets into the locked part of the housing, which results in a subsequent correction of the noted competition results and printed time information is excluded by the participant, since the housing cover is closed and can only be opened by the respective TV station sending the memorator, which then determines the result of the competition or the correct results collects.
- the memorator shown in the drawing is composed of six elements, namely a clockwork 22, an arithmetic unit 19, a printing unit 20, a paper scroll mechanism 26, 27 and a battery 21 and a security lock 60-66. It forms a handy, flat device, the size of which roughly corresponds to the drawing.
- Such a device can be sent to all interested television viewers before the broadcasting of a program of the post, which provides for the participation of the viewers who are not in the television studio in a television game in which the aim is to answer certain questions and provide information under competitive conditions within certain times issue, which will be answered directly by the competition participants located in the television studio and indirectly by the participants sitting in front of the TV sets at home with the help of the device described here, namely by creating a forgery-proof, written response protocol with synchronously printed time information, which after the competition has ended within of the device remains and is returned together with the device for evaluation to the TV studio or another responsible body, for example by post.
- the basic principle of the memorator is thus a closable note or paper strip 10 or a storage disk, which is combined with a synchronized time printer or a synchronized time marker, which can be moved forward in steps, but cannot be moved backwards again due to an internal lock after the forward movement can, so that the already labeled part of the paper strip is stored in a forgery-proof manner after being moved further within the note carrier housing.
- the paper strip 10 has two columns, one for the time, the other for the competition results, the latter being able to be written by hand on the note strip 10 through a note window 2 and remain visible until a switch key 29 is actuated after the respective minutes have been completed whereby the note strip is moved forward by a predetermined line section by means of a transport device, ie is moved into the locked part of the device. This makes any subsequent correction of the noted data or facts and also the printed time specification by the participant himself impossible.
- a quartz clockwork 22 shown in FIG. 8 works together with a conventional electronic computer 19 and printer 20.
- the 1 Hz pulses generated by the quartz generator via the frequency divider are each transmitted as a unit of number per second in the computer, and when the switch key 29 is actuated, the subtotal circuit of the computer is switched on, so that the summed time numbers or number of seconds on the note strips 10 be printed by means of the printing unit or printer 23.
- the quartz clockwork can also be installed directly in a microprocessor and output the time using computer printing.
- the paper scroll mechanism has the paper strip 10, also called a note strip, which is rolled up on an axis 26.
- the end of the paper strip runs over a roller 24 to the printer 23 and then over the writing plate 25 to the take-up drum 27, which is in operative connection with a motor drive by means of transmission gears 50, 51, 51 a and 52.
- the note strip 10 is formed in two columns, one column being used for indicating the time and the other for recording the competition result and the latter column being accessible through the note window 2 for labeling the paper strip 10 and thus for recording the competition result.
- the switch button 29 is actuated by the competition participant, the number of seconds first being printed out on the paper strip 10.
- this strip is taken along by a corresponding travel unit by the take-up drum 27, which is moved one line width by the motor drive.
- the contact roller 55 attached to the axle 44 works together with two contact springs 54 for the transport circuit.
- the insulating sheet is 56 the contact roller is moved away from the two contact springs 54, and the contact for the transport circuit is restored, the receiving drum 27 being rotated by a complete revolution until the insulating sheet 56 meets the two contact springs 54 again, as a result of which the paper strip 10 also has a desired one Section is taken further.
- the take-up drum 27 is connected to a ratchet wheel 45.
- a pawl 46 is fastened, with which the backward movement of the take-up drum 27 is blocked when the cover is closed.
- the quartz clockwork with calculator and the printing unit are powered by batteries 21.
- the parts 72 to 77 form a subtotal circuit arrangement which cooperates with a contact roller 55.
- the shift lever 72 is tensioned against a spring 49 by means of a pin 75 fastened to the contact roller 55 and held in place by means of a pawl 74.
- the memorator could also electronically store the competition results using a keyboard system on a magnetic disk built into it or a magnetic tape or other storage device which is used for the evaluation of the TV studio, with synchronous time information.
- the memorator is equipped with a security lock.
- this security lock essentially consists of only three stampable sheet metal parts and is therefore much cheaper.
- the new security lock has a finger-like tumbler 61 made of spring band steel with cams 62 stepped at different heights and a bolt 63 which has square holes 65 connected by narrow slots as a counter-locking device. In the closed state, the tumbler tips lie on the bottom of the square holes, so that the bolt 63 remains locked.
- the key By inserting the key, which is stored by the TV station distributing or sending the devices after the individual devices have been locked and made ready for dispatch, the different heights of the teeth are compensated with the corresponding heights of the tumbler cams, whereby the bolt 63 again becomes free.
- the key can now hit together with the bolt 63 against the locking lever 66, as a result of which the cover 16 can be opened again as soon as the device has been returned by the competitor to the TV station for the purpose of checking the recording contained therein and thus evaluating the competition result .
