Patent number: 9498702Abstract: The invention consists of eliminating the inner central shaft of the drum in order to allow a more homogenous mixing of the balls such that the chances of the balls being winning balls are not dependent on the position that they may occupy before the drum is rotated. To that end, the ball mixing blades (9) are integrally attached to the inner face of the structure of the drum. Not only does this structure allow mixing the balls better, but it also simplifies maintenance work on the device, in that it includes respective outer shafts (3) that are easily accessible without having to disassemble the drum in the event that the pin that links it with the mechanism for driving the rotation of the drum breaks.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2012Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignees: PROINDUMAR, S.L.Inventor: Jesus Franco Munoz

Publication number: 20090001663Abstract: The invention relates to a drawing mechanism with a variable regulation device for regulating the probabilities of winning. The mechanism, intended to be associated to two or more entertainment machines, all of them forming a type of game table or counter, is formed from a drum, in which a predetermined number of balls are arranged, which drum can be transparent or like a cage, for allowing in any case the player or players in question to see the balls contained therein, provided with fixing means for fixing it to the mentioned game table, with a horizontal rotating shaft arranged inside the drum and in which a drive mechanism is arranged which allows rotating the drum in either direction. Said drum equally has a protrusion in the shape of a protruding turret located on a plane of symmetry perpendicular to the rotating shaft, and with suitable dimensions for allowing the passage and housing therein of at least one of the balls. The balls never abandon the assembly formed by the drum and the turret.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2008Publication date: January 1, 2009Applicant: PROINDUMAR, S.L.Inventor: Jesus Franco Munoz
