Definitions

the invention relates to a coin locking device with a housing and a (male) projecting element, with a recess for receiving the element of an identical locking device, locking devices in the recess, which are actuated by a device for entering a coin and devices for releasing the coin upon insertion of a projecting element in said recess.
Such devices are known to lock shopping carts used in shops or public facilities and to encourage the user to put his cart back in line after use. These known devices, they are purely mechanical or electromechanical, are structurally complex, large-relying, not sufficiently reliable and weight-e of the high-G.
the object of the invention is to provide a coin locking device which enables locking only on an identical device, which in turn is already locked on an identical apparatus or on a carrier identical to such devices.
a secure locking of a device is also to be achieved, which is unlocked by simply entering a coin of a certain diameter.
the dimensions and weight of the device are said to be reduced, with an excellent mechanical resistance.
the projecting element is profiled and / or provided with elevations and recesses, in particular notches, and is attached to the end of a sliding piece sliding against the action of a spring, which at the other end has a cylinder core with movable, transverse Tumblers are connected, the cylinder core sliding in the recess and being movable under the action of a return spring of the slider to a rest position, in which the tumblers penetrate into recesses recessed in the lateral surface of the cylinder core, from which they come in through the introduction of a male, projecting element second identical device in the cylinder core can be pushed out again.
the device is simple, compact, safe, robust, economical and light in weight. Simple means prevent a device from being connected to a second if the second is not already connected to a third or to a push-on station. Structurally simple parts, in particular their usual locking cylinders or conventional cylinder cores can be used.
the device can be easily adapted to coins of different diameters and faults can be easily eliminated.
the device can also be designed so that the scanning levers have no direct effect on the locking of the web, which allows their easy replacement for adaptation to different coin sizes.
a locking rod arranged in addition to the slide is not absolutely necessary, which considerably simplifies the device.
the device contains a carrier housing 1 with an inlet plate 2 for a coin 18, which is attached in front of the coin receiving chamber. Behind the plate 2 there is an elongated horizontal ejection device 3 in the chamber, acted upon in the ejection direction by a spring 4. Between the plate 2 and the ejection device 3 a lateral brake 5 is fastened for the coin, which can be moved by a spring 6 (Fig. 3) is.
a spring 6 Fig. 3
the free ends of the ejection device device 3, levers 7, 8 and brake 5 protrude into the chamber.
the housing 1 has under the plate 2 and the chamber a recess 1a, into which a switching pawl 14 projects from above, which is under pressure towards the recess 14a by a spring 15.
the lever 7 is articulated to a closing slide 16, the lever 8 to a closing slide 17 with the end opposite the coin.
the end 19 of the ejection device 3 opposite the plate 2 has a hooking or latching notch for a latch 20 which is acted upon by a spring 21 towards the device 3.
This hooking process takes place by inputting the coin 18 which pushes the ejection device 3 against the action of its spring 4.
the closing slides 16 and 17 close a closing bar 22 under the action of a spring 13 by the interaction of an opening in the slider 16 with a rectangular recess 24 in the bar 22 and the locking position of the slider 17 in front of the web 22.
a central bolt 25 with spring action interacts with a rectangular recess in the rod 22 and is offset against the action of its spring by a ramp-shaped inclined surface of the ejection device 3.
a pressure test on the ejection device 3 without pivoting the rocker arm 7 does not allow the ejection device 3 to be displaced, which is blocked by its shoulder 26 against the closing slide 16.
the ejector ends with an open towards the coin tion 27, so that the input of a coin that is too small, followed by another coin, does not allow the ejection device 3 to be released. These measures are provided to avoid unwanted blockages. In addition, tool pressure pushes into the central part of the ejector 3 against the fixed part 28 of the housing.
the rear part of the housing forms a bulge (projection) 1b with a reversing lever 29 installed, which rotates about an axle bolt 30 and one end of which cooperates with the end of the rod 22.
Slider 31 is loaded in the longitudinal direction by a spring 32 and forms a final heel piece 33. Entering a coin 18 (Fig. 2) causes the locking rod 22 to be released and a (mechanical) pull in the S direction causes the reversing lever 29 to rotate in such a way that the end of the reversing lever 29 opposite the rod 22 abuts a shoulder 1c ' which protrudes from the recess 1a 'of an identical device previously locked on the device. At the same time, the piece 31 slides back under the action of its spring 32 (Fig. 4), and the shoulder 33 blocks the lever 29 in the unlocked position.
the slider 31 ends opposite the lever 29 in a male, profiled element 34 in the function and type of a key shank, in particular a flat key.
the slider 31 carries, next to the shoulder 29, a cylindrical sliding element 35 of the type and function of an axially movable cylinder core of a locking cylinder in which plate tumblers 36 slide transversely to the axis.
the longitudinal axis of the sliding element 35 arranged at an angle to the tumbler plate 36, in the direction of which the sliding element 35 is displaced longitudinally by the sliding element, is coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the longitudinally displaceable sliding element 31.
the sliding element 35 is displaceable in a cylindrical recess 40 with upper and lower recesses 37 .
the construction means that a connection or locking is only possible on an identical device, which in turn is already locked on a third device or on an end carrier working like such a device. If the device is to be switched on to a second device, which in turn is not connected to a third identical device, the slide 31 of the second device is in the position shown in FIG. 4 and the element 34 'of the first device is inserted into it Sliding element 35 does not allow sliding of the slider 31, which is locked by the bolt 20.
the device according to the invention is very flat and consequently only forms a narrow projection. If, for example, it is mounted on a trolley, in particular a shopping trolley, this can be done on the side or on the top.
FIGS. 5 to 10 The second exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 to 10 is described below.
the two oscillating levers 7 and 8 are on both sides retracted by springs 9 and 1 0 and end adjacent to the plate 2 with bilateral projecting samplers 11 and 12.
FIG. 1 The two oscillating levers 7 and 8 are on both sides retracted by springs 9 and 1 0 and end adjacent to the plate 2 with bilateral projecting samplers 11 and 12.
the end 19 of the ejection device 3 opposite the plate 2 again has a hooking notch on a bolt 20, pushed by a spring 21. This hooking or latching process takes place by entering the coin 18 (see FIG. 6) which the ejection device 3 against Effect of their spring 4 pushes.
the latch 20 is sunk in a rectangular recess 50 of the slide 31, pushed by a spring 32.
the latch 20 locks the slide 31.
the slide 31 is in the direction of the recess 1a of the housing 1 extended by a male profiled element 34, with the function of a key which is dependent on the slider 31 when displaced.
the sliding piece 31 also has a sliding element 35 with the function of a locking cylinder or cylinder core, in which tumblers 36 slide transversely.
the sliding element 35 is mounted in a bore 40 with recesses 37.
the device also includes a spring action 51 underlying closing slide 16, which exerts pressure on the end 19 of the ejection device 3 in the locking position (FIG. 5).
a bevel 52 of the ejection device 3 has pushed the slide 16 back against the action of the spring 51, and at the end of this process the slide 16 is resiliently mounted in a rectangular recess 53 of the ejection device 3, which thus acts against the action of it Spring 4 is locked (Fig. 6).
a gap 54 in the recess 1a allows the entry of a profiled key 55 (FIG. 8), the end of which penetrates into a recess in the bolt 20. Tilting this key 55 (FIG. 9) lifts the latch 20 and allows the device to be disconnected for repair.
the rocking levers 7 and 8 with their springs 9 and 10 are articulated by means of axle bolts 13 on an independent support 57 which carries the inlet plate 2 as well as the ejection device 3 and its spring 4 .
This ensemble 58 which allows an exchangeable cassette to adapt to different coin diameters, is loosely mounted in a recess 59 of the carrier housing 1.
the cassette 58 is fastened in the recess 59 by means of a special screw (not shown), which requires a special tool to release it. This screw penetrates a recess 60 of the carrier 57 and an internal thread of the carrier housing 1.
this cassette device permits dismantling for repair and, above all, the use of an identical ensemble for different coins, apart from the cassette.
