ABSTRACT:
A random number selection device (10) is provided with a support base (20) having a pair of extending substantially parallel arms (22) between which a hollow container (30) is rotatably mounted. Within container (30) there is provided a plurality of balls (15) each having indicia (17) representing a different numeric symbol to provide a random selection of digits. Coupled to container (30) there is provided, ball distributor (40) having a sliding actuator (42) with a plurality of partitions integrally formed thereon to define queuing spaces (50) therebetween. Ball receiving housing (46) having a plurality of integrally formed partitions (48), defining ball receiving chambers (45) is coupled to a tubular housing (44) of distributor (40). Sliding actuator (42) is biased in a first position by a spring (49), in this position partitions (43 and 48) cooperate to prevent balls (15A) located in queuing spaces (50), when container (30) is inverted, from entering the respective ball receiving chambers (45). Displacement of sliding actuator (42) to a second position, wherein partitions (43 and 48) are in alignment, permits the substantially simultaneous distribution of balls (15A) to the ball receiving chambers (45). The balls (15A) are captured within ball receiving chambers (45) subsequent to release of the sliding actuator (42) which is biased by spring (49) to its original position.
