Description of drawings

Now with reference to accompanying drawing some embodiments of the present invention are described, wherein:

Fig. 1 is the stereogram according to the injection molding plastics daylight chaise longue of the first embodiment of the present invention,

Fig. 2 is the stereogram of the steelframe daylight chaise longue that has batten according to a second embodiment of the present invention,

Fig. 3 is the stereogram of the bench of a third embodiment in accordance with the invention,

Fig. 4 is the exploded perspective view of plastics compartment lock, and corresponding plastics compartment key can be used and comprise to described plastics compartment lock by the article of furniture of Fig. 1-3,

Fig. 5 is that all are arranged in the casting net and each has the plane of a plurality of compartment keys of different combinations, and

Fig. 6 be basically routinely attribute modification the plastics room key of credit cassette, this plastics room key can be as compartment key according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The specific embodiment

As shown in Figure 1, daylight chaise longue 1 is provided with a portion 2, backrest 3, supporting leg 4 and handrail 5.Be embedded in the portion 2 is the compartment 7 with pivot caps 8 and lock 9.

Forward Fig. 2 now to, although the daylight chaise longue 1 of Fig. 1 is made by plastic material is molded, 11 on the daylight chaise longue of Fig. 2 is made by metal frame 15 and batten 16.Daylight chaise longue 11 also has compartment 17, pivot caps 18 and locks 19.

As shown in Figure 3, plastics bench 21 is provided with compartment 27, lid 28 similarly and locks 29.

As shown in Figure 4, each is locked 9,19,29 and preferably adopts the form of locking tube 32, and this lock tube 32 has the fixture of tongue 33, locked groove 34 and stop nut 35 forms, but this fixture and the screw thread 36 screw-types engagement on lock 32 outside.

Each lock tube 32 has lock mark 37, is numeral 18 in this embodiment.From what Fig. 1-3 can understand be, when mounted with 37 of marks of lock compartment 7,17,27 do not lock and cover 8,18 and 28 when being pivoted to its open position just

visible mode lock

9,19,29 is installed.

Fig. 4 also illustrates compartment key 41, the releasable attachment that it preferably is molded as monolithic by plastic material and is provided with key mark 42 (being numeral 18) and is slit 43 forms in this situation in hogring 44.Compartment key 41 preferably also is buoyant.

Compartment key 41 also has one or more fork spares 46 that can enter locked groove 34, and the position and the shape of fork part 46 constitute simple assembly coding, and this makes each lock tube 32 to be opened by corresponding compartment key 41.

Forward Fig. 5 now to, illustrate and be formed on a plurality of compartment keys 41 of casting on the net 51, in casting net 51, each independently key 41 be connected to casting net 51 by means of two thin sprues 52 and 53.This manufacture method is widely used in making the toy models aircraft.Therefore, by reversing key finally making each

corresponding sprue

52,53 fracture, can with each independently key 41 disassemble from casting net 51.

Also can see among Fig. 5 the skeleton key 61 that can open each independent lock tube 32 is provided.

At last, as shown in Figure 6, in many hotels, the door in hotel or room, holiday village will almost be used for opening with the plastics room key 71 of credit card same size and shape.The plastics room key 71 of common this prior art in conjunction with magnetic technology with open the door lock (routine, not shown).According to another embodiment of the invention, plastics room key 71 will be by being out of shape by the material removal shown in the dotted line 73, and to form fork part 76 thus, fork part 76 can be inserted in the locked groove 34 and open the lock tube 32 of Fig. 4 thus.

The method for optimizing of holiday village operation is as follows: each article of furniture as daylight chaise longue 1, daylight chaise longue 11 and bench 21 is provided with corresponding compartment 7,17 and 27, and

locks

9,19,29 accordingly and can manually be arranged in the corresponding lid 8,18,28 and tighten the stop nut 35 of Fig. 4 and manual fix in position by finger.Similarly, with his finger stop nut 35 is unclamped and remove lock tube 32,

lock

9,19,29 can be removed from corresponding article of furniture from covering 8,18,28 by the bather.

Thus, holiday village or hotel management person can hire out lock tube 32 and corresponding compartment key 41 to the holiday village of any expection bather.Carry out preferred article of furniture 1,11,21 fronts of the bather of this purchase to him then, if do not comprise lock tube 32, it is fixed therefore must not rented.Like this, can confirm immediately whether article of furniture is fixed by rent.In addition,, will there be lock 9 so, so so unwarranted taking can very fast end and occupant's quilt " expulsion " if the holiday village guest can take daylight chaise longue 1 in unwarranted mode.

Then, the holiday village bather who has leased lock tube 32 and corresponding compartment key 41 installs lock tube 32, his valuable article are put into compartment 7---as wallet, room key, mobile phone etc.---, pin lock 9 with compartment key 41 then, then from lock, take out compartment key 41.Afterwards, can compartment key 41 be attached on the swimming suit of holiday village bather dress by means of the slit in the hogring 44 43.This makes that the personal effects of knowing him when the holiday village bather goes swimming relievedly are retained in the compartment 7 safely, and the daylight chaise longue is to be can not being taken by other people that he reserves.

When swimming finishes, the holiday village bather open compartment 7 lock, unclamp stop nut 35, remove lock tube 32, thus to the holiday village manager give back whole lock 9 with and corresponding compartment key 41, therefore the repayment of doing like this is to give back cash pledge.

Because the number of lock tube 32 that sends any time and corresponding compartment key 41 equates that with the number of the available article of furniture that will be reserved like this therefore above-mentioned layout constitutes reliable reservation schemes, and does not have dual predetermined possibility.

And, if the holiday village bather does not give back compartment key 41 by chance and leaves the holiday village, can open the lock of corresponding article of furniture by the skeleton key shown in Fig. 5 61.This makes that the lock tube 32 with lock mark 18 can be removed from its lid that is mounted before.And, because composite casting net 51 is made easily and has been ready-made, can pull down new compartment key 41 from another net 41 of casting with key mark 18, make lock tube 32 to rework thus with lock mark 18.

Among the embodiment shown in Figure 6, when having paid the compartment rent, issue the plastics room key of hotel guest and little by little downcut, so that plastics room key 71 also is transformed into compartment key 41.

Just some embodiments of the present invention described above, and obviously under the prerequisite that does not depart from scope of the present invention, can carry out its modification to those skilled in the art.
