ABSTRACT:
A selector device is provided herein for the random selection of a small set of balls from a larger set of balls. It includes a flat box having a transparent cover. The box is divided into an upper chamber and a lower chamber, the upper chamber containing a large set of balls therein, with a small set of the balls having a significantly different appearance from the first set of balls, e.g., by being colored differently. The lower chamber is formed by parallel channels through apertures. The channels are just slightly wider than the diameter of the balls. All connections between the upper chamber and the channels are provided with rounded corners. In this way, each channel has an unimpeded entry mouth from the upper chamber. Finally, spaced-apart, indicia are arranged in longitudinal rows each along a respective channel. In this way, a chance selector device is provided in which the balls have an unhindered access by gravity to the channels, which permits truly random selection.
