Abstract

Many shoppers find that they have not a coin of the required denomination, but still have, maybe, several coins of larger or smaller denominations. The innovation, therefore, envisages the possibility that a design could easily be produced that allowed some adjustment to the mechanism of the lock, without extensive alteration, particularly in association with other slots, making possible the use of more than one coin of more than one denomination.

Description

Münzpfandschlösser für Einkaufswagen sind aus dem Stand der Technik in vielfältiger, mechanischer Ausführung hinlänglich bekannt.Coin deposit locks for shopping carts are available in a variety of mechanical design well known.

Derartige Schloßmechaniken sind ausnahmslos darauf ausgelegt, daß ausschließlich eine Münze (pro Münzschlitz) mit bestimmtem Durchmesser Funktionsbereitschaft herstellt. Ver­ schleißbedingte Durchmessertoleranzen sind hierbei berücksichtigt. Insoweit ist es unabding­ bar (u. a. gängige Praxis), daß im internationalen Einsatz vorbestimmte, landesspezifische Münzen mit fixiertem Durchmesser für die Systemfunktion festgelegt werden (sind).Such lock mechanisms are designed without exception that only one Manufactures coin (per coin slot) with a certain diameter. Ver wear-related diameter tolerances are taken into account. In this respect, it is essential cash (including common practice) that predetermined, country-specific Fixed diameter coins are set for the system function.

Der (die) Münzschlitz(e) derartiger konventioneller Münzpfandsysteme ist (sind) insoweit auf individuelle einzelne Münzdurchmesser dimensioniert. Funktionsbereitschaft wird über Münzschlitzkonturen oder Teilen davon und/oder im Zusammenwirken mit der eigentlichen Schloß­ mechanik hergestellt.The coin slot (s) of such conventional coin deposit systems is (are) so far individual individual coin diameters dimensioned. Functionality is indicated by coin slot contours or parts of it and / or in cooperation with the actual castle mechanics manufactured.

Derartige Funktionsmechanismen erfordern zwangsweise eine Vielzahl an "länderspezifischen" Ausführungsvarianten.Such functional mechanisms inevitably require a large number of "country-specific" Design variants.

Das erfindungsgemäße Prinzip soll diese Nachteile maßgeblich reduzieren und weitere Vorteile verfügbar machen.The principle according to the invention is intended to significantly reduce these disadvantages and further advantages make available.

Funktionfunction

Dies geschieht erfindungsgemäß in einfacher Weise dadurch, daß die Länge des Münzschlitzes grundsatzlich größer ist als der Durchmesser der für die Funktion vorbestimmten Münze beliebigen Wertes. Hierdurch ist gewährleistet, daß wenigstens eine Münze mit größerem Durchmesser, also zwei Münzen mit unterschiedlichem Durchmesser mit einer, technisch beliebig aufgebauten, Münzschloßmechanik in Kontakt treten können. Wenn diese Mechanik, ohne Eingriff in deren Grundfunktionsprinzip, auf den größeren Münzdurchmesser (maximale Münzschlitzlänge) modifiziert wird (falls erforderlich) ist Betriebsbereitschaft für wenigstens zwei Münzen mit unterschiedlichen Durchmessern über einen Münzschlitz hergestellt. Ein mit einfachen Maßnahmen hergestellter Vorteil in Fertigung und Handling im praktischen Einsatz.This is done according to the invention in a simple manner in that the length of the coin slot is fundamentally larger than the diameter of the coin predetermined for the function of any value. This ensures that at least one coin with a larger one Diameter, i.e. two coins of different diameters with one, technically  any coin lock mechanism can come into contact. If this mechanics, to the larger coin diameter (maximum Coin slot length) is modified (if necessary) is operational for at least two coins with different diameters are produced via a coin slot. An advantage in manufacturing and handling made with simple measures in practice Commitment.

Claims (2)

1. Münzpfandschloß für Einkaufswagen gekennzeichnet dadurch, daß wenigstens ein Münzschlitz in der Länge größer ist als die Münzschlitzlänge, die dem Durchmesser der für die Funktion vorbestimmten Münze entspricht - hierdurch die Grundvoraus­ setzung hergestellt ist, daß ohne wesentlichen Eingriff in das Grundfunktionsprinzip einer beliebigen Münzschloßmechanik - bestenfalls modifizierten Münzkontaktstellen - die Basis für den Betrieb mit wenigstens zwei Münzen mit unterschiedlichen Durch­ messern über einen Münzschlitz herstellbar ist.1. Coin deposit lock for shopping carts characterized in that at least one coin slot is longer in length than the coin slot length, which corresponds to the diameter of the coin predetermined for the function - thereby the basic prerequisite is established that without any intervention in the basic functional principle of any coin lock mechanism - At best, modified coin contact points - the basis for operation with at least two coins with different diameters can be produced via a coin slot. 2. Münzpfandschloß für Einkaufswagen, entsprechend Anspruch 1, gekennzeichnet dadurch, daß mit mehreren Münzen Funktionsbereitschaft hergestellt werden kann, grundsätzlich mit sämtlichen Münzen, die im Durchmesser zwischen den beliebig fest­ legbaren Grenzen: "minimaler Funktionsdurchmesser" und "maximaler Funktionsdurch­ messe" liegen - insoweit ein MÜNZFUNKTIONSFENSTER verfügbar ist.2. Coin deposit lock for shopping carts, according to claim 1, characterized in that operational readiness can be produced with several coins, basically with all coins that are in diameter between any fixed definable limits: "minimum functional diameter" and "maximum functional diameter messe "- insofar as a COIN FUNCTION WINDOW is available.
