TERMINAL SYSTEM

The present invention generally relates to a terminal system comprising a device terminal and connectable to the device terminal operator seat furniture, wherein the invention also individually relates to the device terminal and the operator seat furniture for such a terminal system. In particular, the invention relates to a terminal system in which the device terminal and the operator seat furniture connectable with each other have detachable power and / or signal coupling parts and thereof separate mechanical positioning coupling parts, wherein the energy and / or signal coupling parts and the positioning coupling each by ground-parallel pushing together of operator seat furniture and device terminals engageable with each other, said positioning coupling parts having vertical and horizontal positioning means for vertically and horizontally aligning device terminal and operator seat furniture relative to one another.

The device terminal of such a terminal system may be, for example, a gaming and / or entertainment and / or vending machine or a multimedia terminal or other, preferably electronic terminal or device in which an operator usually positioned in front of the device. In this case, the device terminal can comprise, for example, one or more screens, which can be arranged above and / or next to one another, and optionally have input means, for example in the form of a control panel, in order to be able to provide various input signals. These may be, for example, start and / or game operation keys, control levers such as joysticks or other input means such as touchscreens.

The operator's seat of such a terminal system may in particular be a chair or a chair with a backrest or a backrest-free stool each with or without armrests, which is a single seat or armchair, but also to furniture with multiple seats in terms of Couch, a chaise longue or a canape. However, the operator seat furniture can also have only a leaning surface or a Absitzfläche example, in the sense of a padded leaning or Absitzfläche or rod and is generally broad to understand.

At the operator seat furniture while various actuators can be present, which can be actuated for example by electric or pneumatic or hydraulic Stellaktoren, for example in the form of inflatable side bolsters or lumbar supports, tilt angle-adjustable backrests, height control organs or Wippoder Rüttelaktoren who special Game situations can move the operator seat furniture, for example, in the sense of a sloping seat, if in a driving game a curve is traversed. To provide such Stellaktoren with energy, it may be advantageous to be able to provide the operator seat furniture from the device terminal ago with energy, for example in the form of electrical power, compressed air or hydraulic fluid.

Further, said operator seat furniture may also include input means for inputting control signals or other control signals, in which case, for example, input keys, control levers such as joysticks, fingerprint sensors or card readers may be provided on a chair back or other portion of the furniture. Alternatively or additionally, display devices such as screens or indicator lights, for example in the form of LEDs, may also be provided on the operator seat furniture in order to be able to display information from the terminal of the device on the operator seat furniture.

In order to transmit energy and signals between the terminal device and the operator seat, the transmission from the terminal to the operator seat and / or from the operator seat furniture can be done to the device terminal, the operator seat and the device terminal can each have energy and / or signal coupling parts, the can be coupled together by pushing together operator seat and device terminal, so that the energy and / or signal coupling is closed by simply pushing together in the intended position at the same time. The aforementioned energy and / or signal coupling parts can in this case form in particular plug-in coupling parts, for example, in the sense of male and female connector pieces, the coupling direction for coupling and uncoupling advantageously parallel to the ground axis can extend to the device terminal on the device terminal, so coupled by mere pushing together of operator seat and device terminal and can be disconnected by pulling apart.

In order to couple such electrical plug contacts, which are usually relatively sensitive, damage-free and to make finding each other, in addition to the energy and / or signal coupling parts separate, mechanical positioning coupling parts may be provided on the operator seat and the device terminal, when pushing together Align the operator seat and the device terminal relative to each other or hold the operator seat and the device terminal in the coupled or connected position to each other to transverse movements transverse to the coupling direction, which could damage the energy and / or signal coupling parts to prevent.

Such positioning coupling parts can be, for example, telescoping complementary contours such as socket pin and plug hole.

For example, the document US 2012/0282997 A1 such a terminal system of the generic type, in which case said energy and / or signal coupling parts and the mechanical positioning coupling parts are provided on a foot portion of the device terminal and a ground contact plate of the operator's chair, so that the ground contact plate of Operator's chair can be inserted so to speak at the foot of the device terminal, the inserted position can be secured by a latch-like snap lever. In this case, the mechanical positioning coupling parts comprise, on the one hand, tapered insertion tongues which are bent obliquely to the insertion direction and which can be inserted into complementary insertion recesses and provide coarse pre-centering in the vertical and horizontal directions. On the other conical pins are provided which can be inserted into complementary plug holes to effect a fine centering in the horizontal and vertical directions.

In this prior art terminal system, however, threading the positioning coupling parts into each other is relatively cumbersome because the respective insertion openings are difficult to find. On the other hand, the stability in the mated position is limited, so that a shaking on the operator chair on the chamfers of the tabs and locking pins can lead to a loosening of the connection. The design of the tapered and cross-bent tabs manufacturing technology is relatively expensive.

The document US6354660B1 discloses ground-parallel connections of equipment terminals with operator seat furniture in which the mechanical connection is made by Horizontalpositioniermittel and Vertikalpositioniermittel. In particular, US6354660B1 discloses a single, centrally located latch (locking aperture 25 in conjunction with latch 17 and V-shaped notches 19L, 19R in conjunction with alignment pins 18L, 18R) - such an arrangement may not be sufficiently stable in a rough or rigid manner Turn out everyday operation.

In addition, such a closure requires a complex production and it is a game for the closure part required so as not to jam. Such a game, in turn, allows for greater freedom of movement, which in this case is detrimental to the closure for users rocking back and forth with the operator seat furniture.

The document WO2005117648A1 similarly discloses ground-parallel connections of device terminals with operator seat furniture. A single, centrally located locking mechanism 504 includes feet 702 and alignment pins 704 for alignment, respectively. A spring-loaded door latch 706 locks the base by snapping into a cavity or hole 350 on the base (3). A hole 708 allows insertion of a tool to release the door latch 706 and thus unlock the assembled base.

The document US2008136228A1 similarly discloses a ground-parallel connection of a terminal device with an operator seat. The base plate 100 of the operator seat furniture includes a centrally located opening 102 for receiving a locking device 24, wherein one or more V-shaped guide devices may be encompassed.

The present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide an improved terminal system and / or an improved terminal device and / or an improved operator seating furniture of each type mentioned, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art and the latter further develops in an advantageous manner. In particular, the mechanical positioning between the operator seat and the device terminal to be improved, preferably with a comparatively simple structure easier handling when connecting the operator seat furniture achieved with the device terminal and high stability in the assembled state to be achieved.

According to the invention, the object is achieved by a terminal system according to claim 1, a device terminal according to claim 9 and an operator's seat according to claim 10. Preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

It is therefore proposed to separate the vertical positioning and the horizontal positioning of the connecting portion of the operator seat furniture with the connecting portion of the device terminal from each other and no longer cause by the same pair of plug-in coupling. According to the invention, the positioning positioner's vertical positioning means and the positioner's horizontal positioning means are coupling pieces formed separately from each other, the vertical positioning means having clearance in the horizontal direction and the horizontal positioning means having vertical clearance, and the vertical positioning means and / or the horizontal positioning means respectively engaging at least two pairs of each other engageable coupling pieces spaced transversely of a longitudinal median plane through the operator's seat furniture and / or by the appliance terminal, and clamping means are provided for clamping against each other operator seat furniture and Geräteterminal, said clamping means associated with the Vertikalpositioniermitteln and for clamping the coupling pieces of Vertikalpositioniermittel are provided against each other. The Vertikalpositioniermittel can therefore only vertically positioning and the Horizontalpositioniermittel be formed only horizontal positioning. The said clearance in the horizontal direction does not mean the plugging or coupling direction in which the positioning coupling parts and the energy and / or signal coupling parts can be connected and disconnected, but means a horizontal clearance transversely to the aforementioned coupling and uncoupling direction. In this context, horizontally and vertically, both in terms of clearances and with regard to the effectiveness of the positioning means, does not necessarily mean an exactly horizontal or exactly vertical direction in the mathematical sense, but is to be understood in the sense of upright and horizontal and can thus be essentially horizontal and vertical mean vertical directions with acute anomalies hereof.

This can be done after coupling a locking of the operator seat furniture with the device terminal, said free passages then, i. E. in the locked state, no longer exist or are locked.

The aforementioned separation of the horizontal and Vertikalpositioniermittel from each other can facilitate the Ankuppelvorgang and avoid a difficult threading. Since the Vertikalpositioniermittel that align the device terminal in the upright relative to the operator seat furniture, are in the lying direction transversely to the arrival and Abkuppelrichtung free and play, finding the Horizontalpositioniermittel or engaging the coupling pieces of Horizontalpositioniermittel is not hindered because the Vertikalpositioniermittel can swim or be moved in said horizontal direction to each other. Conversely, hinder the horizontal positioning due to their freedom and their play in the upright direction finding the coupling pieces of

Vertical positioning means not. In addition, a greater stability in the coupled position can be achieved by the separate, in particular spaced-apart design of the vertical positioning and the Horizontalpositioniermittel since the vertical and Horizontalpositioniermittel can be conveniently arranged and contoured without regard to each other and acting lateral forces, for example, by shaking the operator seat on different sections are distributed.

Advantageously, the vertical position means and the horizontal position means may be designed such that they engage each other with a time delay, so for example first the vertical position means and then the horizontal position means or vice versa, which can be achieved for example by different far protrusions or different length coverage in Ankuppelrichtung.

By said clamping means clamping surfaces on the operator seat and the device terminal, which cover each other, are pressed against each other, so not only a tilting of the clamping surfaces against each other and thus tilting between operator seating and device terminal is prevented, but also a displacement of said clamping surfaces to each other Friction or frictional connection is prevented or impeded, so that relative movements in the arrival and Abkuppelrichtung and also across this are better avoided.

The said mutually tensionable, mutually overlapping clamping surfaces can advantageously extend in a plane parallel to the arrival and Abkuppelrichtung so that the device terminal and the operator seat furniture are transverse to the arrival and Abkuppelrichtung clamped to each other.

In particular, said clamping means may have a vertical direction of action and / or the said clamping surfaces may be aligned at least approximately lying and / or nestle against a plane lying plane, so that said clamping surfaces in the upright direction against each other can be tensioned.

The said clamping means can form, for example, bolts, by means of which the operator seat can be screwed to the device terminal. Alternatively or additionally, other clamping means may also be provided, for example in the form of cam-type clamping levers, bayonet pushers or clamping jaws.

Alternatively, or in addition to such clamping means but also positive locking and / or locking elements may be provided, for example in the form of safety pin to secure the operator seat and the device terminal in the interconnected position.

The aforementioned clamping means and / or said securing or locking elements may be assigned to the mechanical positioning coupling parts in the invention, in particular attack directly on at least one of the positioning coupling parts. In particular, the said clamping means can be assigned to the vertical positioning means and braced with each other engageable coupling parts of said Vertikalpositioniermittel against each other.

The said vertical positioning means forming coupling pieces may advantageously comprise at least a pair of sliding coupling projections, which may include, for example, a projecting in coupling and uncoupling coupling tongue, which is slidable via an advantageously complementary coupling contour, so that said coupling projections when viewed in cover vertical direction. In particular, said coupling projections of the vertical positioning means can form lying aligned, in the uncoupling and Abkuppelrichtung projecting coupling flanges, which may have just aligned clamping surfaces and / or inclined to the horizontal insertion bevels may have to facilitate the Zusammenfinden the operator seat furniture and device terminal.

In order to better intercept the usually larger reaction forces in the region of the positioning coupling parts, which are caused by Quererkippbewegungen the operator seat furniture, for example, by right and left inclinations of the upper body of an operator, in an advantageous embodiment of the invention, said Vertikalpositioniermittel several übereinanderschiebbare pairs of coupling pieces have, which can be arranged transversely spaced from a central axis in arrival and Abkuppelrichtung, for example, in a common plane in the area right and left edge portions of the interconnectable connecting sections of operator seating and Geräteterminal. As a result, the vertical positioning receive a relatively large lever arm with respect to said Quererkippbewegungen. By means of an at least approximately flat surface configuration of said coupling tongues of the vertical positioning means, excessive surface pressures can be avoided.

The aforementioned Horizontalpositioniermittel may include a further development of the invention, a coupling projection, for example in the form of a coupling pin and a coupling recess into which said coupling projection can retract. For example, said coupling projection form a upright pin, which can retract into a slot, which may have a muzzle open and Abkuppelrichtung open or open end. The opposite end of said slot may form a stop for said coupling projection or pin, which limits the mating of the energy and / or signal coupling parts and / or the mating of the positioning coupling parts in arrival and Abkuppelrichtung and can define the fully merged coupling position. Alternatively or additionally, separate stops for limiting the coupling movement may also be provided by the horizontal positioning means.

In a further development of the invention, said horizontal positioning means may have a plurality of such pairs of coupling projections and recesses, which may also be spaced apart horizontally in the horizontal direction in the arrival and Abkuppelrichtung apart.

The aforementioned energy and / or signal coupling parts and / or the said mechanical positioning coupling parts can advantageously be arranged on an end portion of a ground contact plate and / or a ground contact frame of office furniture and an opposite end face of a foot portion of the device terminal.
