Abstract

A magnetic parking ticket is purchased for a number of parking points. The ticket is inserted in a reader with two heads. One head provides a read out for the valid territory of the ticket while the other head output is applied to a microprocessor. This provides an indication of the existing credit and the tarif selected. It also drives an electronic switch which selects a green or red LED to indicate that the ticket is in credit or that payment has expired. A pulse generator and selector permit selection of different tarifs while a switching circuit enables programmed start and stop parking time indicators to be operated from the pulse generator. An actual time indicator is also provided.

Description

 The present invention relates in particular to devices intended to achieve the collection of a parking tax for motor vehicles and the like on public roads or any other places, by applying the appropriate hourly tariff to each parking case.

 It aims to make it easily possible, without expensive infrastructure for the Administration, whether it be general or particular, and in a perfectly fair manner, therefore advantageous for all, the realization of parking pricing on the public domain , while diversifying the hourly rates deemed useful, to adapt them in a perfect way to the conditions of parking both day and no @ turne, depending on the time and place considered, and also by facilitating the recovery of the pricing product and its accounting, by the use of already existing and known distribution circuits, or to possibly create, as for example the everywhere widespread circuit of the tobacco distributor, both in France and in all Countries, ountout other generalized cirouit, such as those which distribute transport tickets, car stickers, PTT, sutomatic distr @ buteurs, and, in general, any possible distribution circuit existing or to be created.

 The devices currently in use to achieve this object only succeed in a very imperfect way, and consist of "by @@ fixed beings" well known and that it is superfluous to describe. Requiring heavy investments from the Administration operator, municiplités or sutres, for their exploitation, their construction, the collection of the product of the taxation, subjected to vandali @ me and plunder, they do not pretend absolutely @ not to divarified tariffs, nor to the taxation of the night parking. Installed on the public highway, and in general on the sidewalks however reserved for the only pedestrians, they are unsightly, obstructing @@ s and sometimes even dangerous @. They are inequitable, since they do not allow the user to pay a sum of taring exactly proportional to the time spent in parking, and @ insi, very poorly fulfill their primary role, which is the dissussion of improper parking.They still present many other disadvantages, born that it would be too long and sup erflu to describe.

 The device according to the invention not only makes it possible to avoid all these drawbacks, born in puls, provides an original, useful, practical and consequently advantageous solution for all, to all of the complex problems caused by the parking of vehicles on the public do @ sine and other places.

 These multiple advantages, as well as a better return on the taxation carried out, while being profitable for the username, are advantageously obtained, in accordance with the invention, gra @@ with the new application to vehicles of a device known as " PARCMETRA INDIVIDUEL "incorporated into each of them in a fixed or flexible manner.

 The individual parking meter, object of the invention, combines by itself a perishable element, easily replaceable after complete expiration, with a perimeter device, in which this parimable element is introduced, but can easily be separated therefrom, either after complete expiration, either to be replaced by another perishable element, in the case for example of a change of location of station n @ ment, or for any other reason.

 The perishable element deposited before complete expiration can easily be replaced again in the perimeter device and be used until its perfect expiration. The perishable elements completely expired are amply discarded, like a transport ticket after use.

 The petimating device, which is the individual parameter itself, is adapted and designed to receive the perishable element, and consequently, its design is different, depending on the variant of perishable element selected and adopted.

The perishable element includes a predetermined number of elements called "Parking Points". C @ nombre is numbered "Original credit". The par @@ individual is provided to be able to apply an indefinite number of tariffs for the taxation of parking. To achieve @st object, it causes the points to expire more or less quickly - parking of the perishable element, according to the pre-selected rate @@ - charged by the user.D @ plus, the expiration begins at the time or begins the parking, to end at the time when @@ parking cese .From @ this @ aniére, when the number of parking points contained in the peri @ able element is completely expired, this perimation to @ ale corresponds exactly to the en @ emble @@@ of the parking lots whose tare was paid with this perishable item, whatever the number, the duration of each parking, and the price applied to each of these parking lots. We understand in these conditions that the individual parking can adapt the pricing to all possible, existing or conceivable conditions of parking, #### ########## ##################
The user can easily @@ proeurer in the trade, either for example in tobacco shops, or any other generalized @oircircuit, such as ceur which distributes tickets, car stickers, PTT, ATMs, and , in a g @ n @@ ale way, all possible distribution possibilities retained, the perishable elements which are not ne @@ sacires, The perishable elements which are proposed to him comprising a higher or higher number of peak-parking , and the price a. this.

 Perishable items itself are more or less high. Thus, if we consider an average tariff as the so-called "basic" tariff, the proposed perishable elements may include a peak number. parking corresponding to one, two, five, ten or twenty-five hours of parking according to this basic tariff. Compared to @e # basic tariff, the perimation takes place more quickly for the higher tariffs, and more slowly for the lower tariffs; The number of tariffs that the individual parking lot can apply being indefinite, this number must be decided sovereignly by the public authorities, as well as the staggering of these tariffs, ie the number of parking points that must be expired in one hour according to each price.

Thus, the pricing of the parking carried out by the individual parking meter is perfectly fair, since, according to the pre-selected rate, it corresponds to a number of parking points exactly proportional to the duration of the parking,
Also, the individual parking meter allows an easy control of the effective and correct payment of the parking tare by each vehicle, because it shows at the same time the reality of the expiration, the good choice of the perishable element with regard to the parking place. , the right choice of the selected tariff, the proper functioning of the device, and this overall and at a glance for the control officers.

 Unlike the devices currently in use, the individual parking meter is not expensive for the operating administration, since it only requires the installation of signposts at suitable locations, informing users of the existence of the taxation of parking according to the place considered, specifying the tariff to be selected, and if necessary, the tolerated duration of this parking. The same panel may also prescribe different tariffs, by erem ple according to the time and day of parking, or any event that arises.

 In most cases where the individual parking meter works thanks to an electric current, this current is generally drawn from the battery of electric accumulators of which the majority of the vehicles are mis. This current can also come from any other electric source, like for example dry batteries, rechargeable mini-batteries, or any other source of current, the consumption of the device being moreover negligible.

 In the @@@ of individual anovible parometer, the electrical junction is carried out advantageously thanks to a special plug, which serves at the same time to support the device, which allows, for a specific series model, to have the individual parometer always in the same location of this vehicle, the most suitable to allow control.

 In the @@ s fixed individual parking meter, the device can be placed by e @@@ ple on the dashboard, installed in seris by the automaker, and provided with an external repeater allowing control fachile.

Doing so, we can see that the individual par @ metrs represents a particularly advantageous device, in fact:
It is advantageous for the finagoes of the operating administration, since it allows taxation of vehicle parking to be carried out at no cost to it.

n is advantageous for the regulation, since it allows to apply the tariff corresponding exactly to each situation, and, possibly, the taxation of the night parking,
It is advantageous for users, since it allows them, among other advantages, to pay a tax only exactly proportional to the cost of their parking.

 It is dangerous for the population in general, since it makes it possible to avoid the congestion of sidewalks by annoying, disgraceful, and sometimes dangerous devices.

 We will better understand the above, by examining an embodiment and implementation of the invention, advantageous but not limiting, and the theoretical diagram of which is shown in plate I, FIG.

Regarding this mode of execution.
The perishable element is constituted by a "magnetic parking ticket", (IV), an element which @@ enhances with the dimensions, the appearance and the consistency of a railway ticket or a metropolitan ticket of rairis, well-known elements which it is superfluous to describe.

 To identify each ticket, it includes, printed very legibly, the indication of its place of validity, that is to say the national territory, and, if necessary, the cironcaription, region or City, or it must be, and can only be used.

It also includes the number of parking points it contains at the time of its purchase, or "original credit", and its selling price, expressed in the national currency of its country of issue. In this way, the product of taxation produced using each ticket is paid into the cash registers of the Administration that issued it.

 In addition, if we imagine an example of a magnetic parking ticket with an original credit of 1,500 parking points, and issued in French francs for the price of 60.00 Francs, it follows that each parking point has a value of 0.04 Franc, or four @ entimes. Thus, for a tared parking of 60 hourly parking points, that amounts to an hourly taxation of 0.04 x 60 = 2.40 Franc @.

To modify the amount of this taxation, it suffices @implement to modify the sale price of the magnetic parking ticket.

The territorial validity of the magnetic parking ticket is repeated on this ticket, this time magnetically coded. There has been retained for this code an eight-digit number, the first five of which correspond to the locality, and the last three Sa P5Ts of validity of the magnetic ticket. For example, for the Françs, the first five digits can correspond to the postal code of the place of validity
In the case of validity throughout the national territory, these first five digits can be t 00000.

 Also, the number of initial parking points or original credit is repeated magnetically coded on the parking ticket.

 Salon le sché @@ in principle supplemented Figure I, Plate I, the magnetic parking ticket is inserted in the individual parking meter, in a housing intended for this purpose.

 The individual parking meter includes a pulse generator (16) occurring at a given constant frequency. It was chosen as a pulse generator for an electronic watch, quarter type, due to its perfect stability.

 The pulses thus produced are transmitted to a ourseru-com @ user-selector (18) which can occupy 8 positions, which each corresponds to a different charging tariff, the first, encrypted O. not being connected, and therefore correspond to a tart taration.

 The seven other positions of the heart @@ ur, numbered -1-2-3-4-5-6-7- each correspond to a circuit (17) of the resistive-capacity type or other, capable of modifying the frequency of the pulses received. , to adapt each to a more expiration or rapid care of. parking points, and thus cause a higher or lower tax rate.

 The pulses thus produced, the frequency of which varies according to the tariff selected, are transmitted to a mini-calculator (13), which is also connected to a magnetic head (12). The magnetic head reads the existing credit on the parking ticket. With each impulse received by this mini-calculator (13), it subtracts one unit from this existing standard, and @@ new credit, equal to the previous amount minus one unit, is recorded on the parking ticket (10) by the magnetic head.

 Simultaneously, the mini-calculator (13) causes the insertion of the existing standard to any name on the display board (2). This registration is made by light-emitting diodes or liquid oristaurs.

 In this way, the user can read the residual credit still available on his magnetic parking ticket at any time.

 On the other hand, the @ini- @ aloulatrice (13) acts on an electromic switch (14) which causes the lighting or extinction of two light-emitting diodes, one green (4). The other red (5).

 As long as the residual credit left on the parking ticket is accompanied by the sign (+), the green diode (4) is only lit, which signifies for the pR6s at the control the effective bet of the parking tax. the residual credit becomes zero, then negative, the change from the sign (+) to sign (-) causes the red diode to light up (5). The two green (4) and red (5) diodes are then lit simultaneously, which means that the parking ticket has just completely exhausted their credit. This is then a short period, called tolerance.

 The switch is programmed to receive a small number of pulses, which can be set to 10. The last of these pulses causes the green diode (4) to go out. Consequently, only the red diode (5) is lit, which signifies that the user is in breach of the law for cessation of payment of the tax.

 The other side, a second magnetic head (II) written in (I) on the bulletin board the number-code carried on the parking ticket, and which indicates the territorial validity of this ticket. In this way, the control officer can ensure that the ticket is valid for the place of propping up which he has surveillance.

 The plus, and ALWAYS to facilitate the control, it is repeated in (3) EU bulletin board, in digit of suitable dimensions, the number of the tariff selected by the user using his cursor.

 For the Control, it is also necessary to know at any time, the duration of the parking already carried out. To this end, there is provided, year (@) on the bulletin board, a dial of the "quartz watch" type. the user switches on @ his individual parking meter at the start of parking, this dial, the mechanism of which is mounted as a bypass on the quarter-watch (16) generating pulses, sets itself in operation from l zero indication. It continues to operate as long as the individual parking meter itself is running, and thus indicates at all the time elapsed since it was put into operation. When the user interrupts the operation of his individual parking meter at the end of the parking shows (o rement of itself to the sero position, like a chronometer.

 The user can start or stop his individual meter, set by a manual switch (19).

 However, in order to facilitate its comfort, and given the presence of the quartz watch (16) generating impu @@@ one, provision has been made for the operation and for the stopping of this. pre-programmed operation, a device operating in a manner analogous to the device used in alarm clocks. Thus, in year (7), a watch dial adjustable at will is established, or the user can insert the time that he / she wants for the start of the operation of his individual parking area, and therefore the beginning of the collection of the tax, even in the absence of it. In this case, this operation is carried out according to the tariff that the user himself has also pre- selected.

 Likewise, the user can enter in (8) the time at which he decides to interrupt the operation of his individual parometer, and therefore the payment of the text.

 These indications are given in hours and minutes, counted over 24 hours. The operation of these devices (7) and (8) is carried out from the quartz watch (16) generatrioe of impuleione, by an electronic switch (15) , which is bypass mounted on the manual switch (19).

 In order to allow easy and precise adjustment of the programming devices (7) and (8), the legal time shown in (9) on a display board can be adjusted, in the hanbitueile manner in which all watches are regulated.

 The user may wish that the display panel of his individual parking meter is lit, without your operating the device as much, for example to inquire about the residual credit relates to the magnetic parking ticket, to adjust the programming device or any other reason, a switch (20) is provided for this purpose.

 The power supply is provided from the battery (22) of the car in question, to which the individual parking meter is connected, for the duration of its operation, by a special socket (23), which is used for same time of support. But a continuous supply being necessary to assu @@@ the continuous operation of the quartz watch, it is arranged in the device itself a mini-battery which recharges itself on the battery puincipale, during the operation of the individual parometer.

 The individual parking meter can include an indefinite number of tariffs, and the staggering of these tariffs is also indeterminate. To fix the ideas and materialize them, it has been provided in the schematic diagram above described a number of tariffs fixed at seven, numbered - 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-, plus a tariff "0" not realizing any perception, usable only to indicate exclusively the durations of the parking.

 The number of parking points that expire by the application of each of the tariffs are respectively: -9-15-30-60-90-120-180., Which corresponds, taking the highest tariff as a unit, at the following fractional staggering: - 1/20 - 1/12 - 1/6 - 1/3 2/3 - 1 -.

 This number of tariffs and this staggering must be approved or modified by the regulatory authority, before any distribution of the individual parking meter to the public.

The material realization of the individual patcmeter being able to take multiple forms from the diagram which has just been described, it is here below @ presented four, particularly practical and advantageous:
On Plate II, Figure 3, we see a removable individual parometer exactly in accordance with the invention. It is present at rest in the form of a case the dimensions of which are 87 x 93 x 45 millimeters. The cover being opened when in use is kept in this open position at IdOO by a stop catch device to allow easy reading of the display board.

 The indications necessary for the supervisors to exercise their control are grouped in an always identical manner so that the control is quick, easy, and indisputable. These indications are two diodes. green and red electro-luminescent lamps, operating indicators, repetition of the indication of the selected tariff, the duration of the parking carried out at any time, the code number indicating the territorial validity of the magnetic parking ticket during expiration.

 ks other indications given on the bulletin board concern more particularly the user and are: The residual credit at any time carried on the parking ticket, the indication of the time and the two dials of the parogamation device.

The user has a cursor that can occupy 8 poaitions to select the rate to be applied. In addition, a switch allows the starting or stopping of the individual parking meter. But this starting and stopping can also be caused automatically by opening and closing the cover of the individual parking meter. At the bottom of the device is the housing for the magnetic parking ticket, arranged so as to always reveal the part of this ticket bearing, printed, @ valid territorisle, its origins credit, and its purchase price, in the currency of the Country where it is valid
The cover of the device carries its registration number, allowing ao easy identification, and a housing to possibly have any title giving right to particular parking conditions. In the absence of such a title, it is indicated as a reminder the reader of expiration of parking points according to rates.

 At the top of the cover are two metal claws, used to fix the device to the car when in use, in the correct position, and to make the electrical connection with the battery of this car.

 This junction is made thanks to a special socket, shown in Plate II, Figure 2. This socket is made permanently to the car in question, and includes a slot in which the user introduces the top of the cover of his individual parking lot for the adapt to the start of parking. To release the device at the end of parking, the user presses the NP "button on the special socket, thereby freeing up the individual parking meter.

 The special socket, shown on board II, Figure 2, is adapted to the most suitable location for the car in question to allow easy viewing of the individual parking meter by the control staff. This location is determined for each type of production car , by Regulatory Power.

 The individual @ l removable parking meter which has just been described, and which is perfectly in accordance with the invention, is capable of improvement, not essential, but advantageous, and called "Double magnetic parking ticket". , numi of this new device, is represented in Plate III, Figure 4.

 We see that this device, identical to that which has just been described, differs from it only by the fact that it comprises two slots for magnetic parking tickets.

It therefore also includes two sets of magnetic heads.

 With this new arrangement, the user can choose at will, thanks to a cursor-reverser, the magnetic ticket on the left, or that on the right. Thus, those who have frequent @@ ment the opportunity to park in two places or the territorial validity of the magnetic ticket is different, can have these two tickets in one and the other accommodation, and choose, according to the place where it is, the adequate ticket, without having to deposit the ticket already in place to replace it by another, and vice versa. This provision is particularly useful for cross-border workers.

 In addition, the user can also have two magnetic tiokets with the same territorial validity in their individual parking space. In this case, by pushing the inverter to the right or left, the user causes, at the end of total expiration from the ticket in use, the transfer of the reading heads to the other ticket. So he can use his magnetic parking tickets to the last available parking point, without risking being in violation. The transfer is performed automatically by the device lighting of the red light-emitting diode.

 The removable individual parking meter is adaptable on all vehicles, and is more specifically designed for cars already in circulation. As for new vehicles, it is preferable to adapt the built-in individual parameter by construction.

 An example of an individual paacmeter incorporated, advantageous but not limiting, is shown in Plate IV, Figure 5. We find there the constituent elements of the individual parking meter as they were defined previously, but arranged for this particular different adaptation. the built-in individual parking meter, unlike the slow removable individual parking meter, is not intended for the eyes of the control officers, but more particularly to those of its user.

 The built-in individual parking meter is preferably placed on the dashboard of the vehicle in question. The permanent electrical @ electrical connection with the battery of this vehicle is ensured, and therefore does not require a special plug. The tariff repeater, useful only for However, the indication of the legal time is done in large figures, because the quartz watch, which generates the pulses of the individual parking meter, is used at the same time as an on-board watch .be more, the magnetic parking ticket is presented, no longer vertically, but horizontally.

 The built-in individual parking meter is, like the removable individual parameter, su @ - capable of being fitted with the device called "double magnetic parking ticket", and what has been explained on this subject relating to the removable individual parking meter remains constant on this which concerns the individual parking meter incorporated. An example of an individual Pel meter incorporated with a double magnetic parking ticket is shown on plate IV, Fig. 6.

 The incorporated individual parking meter, by the very fact that it represents a constitutive and non-removable element of the car in question, is susceptible of two new original improvements: "Automatic stop" and "Parking time indicator".

 @@ automatic shutdown is constituted by a circuit breaker-relay device, linked to the ignition system of the conaidaid car. By this original and simple process, when the user closes the ignition circuit of the car, for example by turning the ignition key, it automatically interrupts the operation of the individual parking meter, and thus, also, the payment of the parking tax. Thus, it does not risk, by forgetting, to continue to pay this tax after it has left the parking.

 On the other hand, to operate his individual parking meter, he must always activate the "on-off" switch of the device, because he can very well park in places where parking is free, and he has not consequently to use his individual parking meter.

 The "Parking time indicator" makes it possible to completely avoid parking time fraud, which is very widespread and difficult to repress, because it is difficult to detect.

For this purpose, the watch indicating the duration of parking is always put into operation from the start of parking, by the use of the "on-off" switch of the individual parking meter. But its operation is not interrupted by the interruption of the functioning of the individual parking meter itself. It can only be interrupted by moving the car itself, at a speed sufficient to establish that it has actually left the parking lot.
Tooth that the watch is returned to the "zero" position.

 turn get your original result, it is arranged in the power supply circuit of the watch indicating the duration of the parking a circuit breaker which is slaved to the rotation of the speedometer cable of the car, this rotation being itself caused by the new wheels The watch therefore remains supplied with power, although @ the movement of the incorporated individual parking meter is interrupted, as long as the circuit breaker has not interrupted it in this supply. The circuit breaker @ control can be carried out in one way mechanical, hydraulic, electronic or in any other way, without ceasing to remain within the scope of the invention.

 With this device, the surveillance agents can know, at any time and without any dispute and the exact duration of the parking of the vehicle.

Unlike the detachable individual parking lot, the built-in parking meter is difficult to see for the monitoring staff, and it is therefore necessary to set up a repeater of the indications that are necessary in a suitable location for the vehicle, easily accessible by these monitoring staff. '' they must check, i.e.
The two green and red light-emitting diodes, operating indicators, the repetition of the selected tariff, the duration of the assigned parking at any time, and the code number indicating the territorial validity of the magnetic parking ticket during expiration.

 Incidentally, they must also know any title giving right to special parking conditions.

 The example of such a repeater is shown on board V. We can note that the arrangement of the various indications is exactly the same as that existing on the removable individual parameters, this in order to facilitate the work of the gu @ voillance agents , and avoid them any error in their control.

 This repeater, which is connected by a special cable to the built-in individual parking meter, is placed at a place in the vehicle determined, for each type of serial car, by the regulatory authority. This location can be arranged either on the bodywork itself , or behind the rear window of the vehicle.

 In this way, the control officers, whatever the individual parking meter they are called upon to verify, always encounter the same arrangement of the elements to be monitored, whether this individual parking meter is removable or incorporated.

 @which this is obvious, it is necessary to specify that the removable individual parking meters, as well as the body repeaters must have a rigorously identical presentation, being intended to be examined in particular by the control officers. Various layouts presentations would in the control, sources of slowness, hesitation, errors and disputes.

 On the contrary, a strictly identical presentation of the indications to be observed by the surveillance agents allows them to be easily, quickly, rigorously and absolutely incontestable.

 This is why this presentation is absolutely identical in the figures shown and representing the individual removable parking meters, and the body repeater, that is to say: -Plate II, Figure 3 - Plate III, Figure 4 - Plank U, Figure 7.

 On the other hand, the individual parking meter incorporated, not being designed itself in view of the surveillance staff, can take on various arrangements and dimensions, according to the aspirations of the automobile manufacturers, to harmonize this device with the others installed on the dashboard.

 It is also possible to obtain new performances. In the first example, we will cite the possibility of relays the device known as "Double magnetic parking ticket" with a single set of magnetic heads, by a drawer device presenting at will one or the other magnetic ticket in front of the single set of magnetic heads.

 In the second example, we will cite the possibility of making an individual built-in parking meter, by providing it with a rotary switch which may include 6,8,10 .... magnetic parking tickets, with different territorial validity, in order to be able to use, depending on the place where the user is located, the ticket corresponding to this place.

 Such extrapolations, explained above, or others, which can simply be envisaged, do not in any way modify the original character of the invention. It will only be necessary, in order to apply such ex @ rapolations on the industrial level, to obtain the 'certification of official technical services.

 According to the descriptions which have just been made and the comments which explain them, one obtains according to the invention in each of the variant embodiments presented, for example, an improved individual meter, since it automatically carries out a fair taxation parking vehicles on public property or other places, limited to the actual duration of this parking, according to the specific tariff to be applied to each oaa, and prescribed according to administrative decisions. Monitoring the duration of parking and the reality of the payment of the related tax according to the correct application of the prescribed rate ebt facilitated.

The collection of parking taxes by the Administration is also facilitated, these taxes being paid in advance and overall by the use of an existing distribution network or to be created, such as tobacconists, and any other circuit. generalized, such as banks, PTT, ATMs, or any other.

In addition, highlighting the territorial validity of the perimeter, which is the magnetic parking ticket, by applying the code number, allows universal use of the individual parking meter, not only in all countries, but still, according to adinnietrative decisions, in all places, or subdivisions of Countries, regions or Cities.

salon descriptions which quiviannent to be made and the comments which explain them, it follows that the park @ being individual, according to the invention, whatever the variant of execution applied, is, for the collection of parking taxes of vehicles on the public road, and other places, a particularly advantageous device, in fact:
It is advantageous for the operating administration, since it allows taxation of vehicle parking to be carried out practically without infrastructure or other costs for it.

 It is advantageous for the regulation, since it makes it possible to apply the tariff corresponding exactly to each situation, and, possibly, the taxation of the night parking.

 It is advantageous for users, since it allows them, among other advantages, to pay only a tax exactly proportional to the duration of their parking.

 It is advantageous for the population in general, since it makes it possible to avoid the enocm brebeat of the sidewalks for pedestrians and other places of annoying, disgusting devices, and which can even sometimes be dangerous.

 It still has many other advantages, as much for the Administration, repentance, users and the population in general, but which it would be too long and surely to describe.

 Although this is obvious, it appears necessary to specify that the do in of the present invention is by no means limited to the only variants of execution explicitly described and represented, but that, on the contrary, this field expressly extends to all variants of execution and application, combining an element that can be perished over time with a suitable perimeter device, and employing equivalent or simply comparable means or methods, in particular by inversion or transposition of those described, extension, reduction or modification of forms and provisions, with the aim of producing the new inaustrial product referred to in the invention, or simply a fraction of this new product, or an extension to other uses which may be considered to be similar or related.

 As an alternative embodiment, mention will be made of any provision of any element which can be expired over time, this element possibly being a ribbon, perforated, magnetic, electrically polarized, optical or any other, bare or contained and placed in a ca @ - sette or container of any kind, or other arrangement, a magnetic, optical or other wire, a disc or cylinder, mobile or fixed, a perforated, magnetic, optical, polarized or other card or cardboard, and generally any arrangement can achieve the same result.

 As a variant of the perimeter device, adapted to the perishable element, mention will be made of any suitable device, mechanical, electrical, magnetic, electro-magnetic, electronic, optical, electrically polarized or any other, capable of causing the perintion of e 'element perishable above explained, at different speeds due to necessities, or according to pre-established rates, while accurately reflecting from visual mandore the reality of this expiration, and the conditions of application.

 Mention will be made, in particular, of the use as a perimeter element of a perforated tape in the manner of a cinematograph film, contained in a removable cassette, welded to ultrasound, and as a perimeter device of a motor known as "no -to-not controlled by an electronic circuit capable of causing, by pulses at various frequencies, diversified tariffs, thanks to circuits capacity-resistance appropriate to each tariff, cee oircuits so much selected by a rotary button move deaant a dial.

As a variant of application, mention will be made of the application to the rental of vehicles or equipment, televisions, or any generally general instrument likely to be the subject of a rental contract or staggered sale, as well only for the use of certain locations, such as offices rented by the hour or by the day, locations in campgrounds, locations of boats in ports, or others
These examples, both variants of execution and variants of application, being indicated by way of illustration, and, in no way, by way of limitation.
