Abstract

The supermarket trolley can be removed from a parking bay (2) via a turnstile (3), which is released only after the identity of the trolley user is read from an inserted identity card (5), with subsequent erasure of the user identity upon return of the trolley to the parking bay. When a supermarket trolley is not returned the customer is identified and charged with a fine next time he or she uses the supermarket. A wiper is provided at the side of the coin insertion slot, deflected 2 end positions corresponding to the minimum required and maximum permitted coin diameter, each defined by a replacable or adjustable setting element (50).

Description

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung handelt es sich um ein Einkaufswagen-Rückführ­ system, das prinzipiell elektronischen Funktionsmerkmalen unterliegt und im Verbund mit elektromechanischen Komponenten eine Problemlösung ergibt, die insbesondere für soge­ nannte Wiederverkaufs-SB-Märkte prädestiniert ist.The device according to the invention is a shopping trolley return system that is principally subject to electronic functional features and in association with electromechanical components results in a problem solution, especially for so-called reseller hypermarkets is predestined.

In derartigen SB-Märkten unterliegt der Einkauf bzw. Einkaufsberechtigung einer persönlichen Identifikation, die über einen, u. a. elektronisch lesbaren, Ausweis (Fig. III) nachzuweisen ist. Das Prinzip der Erfindung stützt sich auf diese Voraussetzungen und sieht folgenden Ablauf im Verbund mit technischen Zusatzeinrichtungen vor.In such self-service markets, the purchase or purchase authorization is subject to personal identification, which must be proven by means of an, among other things, electronically readable ID ( Fig. III). The principle of the invention is based on these prerequisites and provides the following sequence in conjunction with additional technical devices.

Die Einkaufswagen-Parkstationen (Fig. I/II) sind am EIN- bzw. AUSGANG mit mechanischen, aus dem Stand der Technik hinlänglich bekannten, beispielsweise Drehkreuzsperren (3) ausge­ stattet - diese Sperren (3) sind in Einkaufswagen-Entnahmeeinrichtungen verriegelt - die zur Einkaufswagenentnahme (Benutzung) erforderliche Aufhebung der Verriegelung kann nur über einen in der Einkaufswagen-Parkstation integrierten Scanner (4) erreicht werden - die Scanner- Aktivierung wiederum ist nur mit der elektronisch lesbaren Ausweiskarte (Fig. III) herstellbar. Besagter Scanner (4) ist an das Verbundnetz der Kundenidentifikation und Warenabrechnung integriert und registriert die Einkaufswagen-Entnahme des spezifischen Kunden "x". Bringt der Kunde "x" seinen Einkaufswagen (1) nach erfolgtem Einkauf in die Einkaufswagen-Park­ station (Fig. I/II) zurück und bestätigt diesen Vorgang durch Identifikation mit der Ausweis­ karte (Fig. III) im Verbund mit dem Einkaufswagen (1) (Fig. IV), wird der Vorgang im Zentralrechner registriert und gelöscht. Im Unterlassungsfall (Einkaufswagen (1) wird im Außenbereich stehengelassen) bleibt dieser Vorgang registriert und die Warenabrechnung des spezifischen Kunden "x" wird beim "nächsten Einkauf" automatisch mit einer "Einkaufs­ wagen-Rückholgebühr" beliebiger Höhe - beispielsweise DM 2,-/DM 5,- automatisch beaufschlagt. The shopping trolley parking stations (Fig. I / II) are on the input or output with mechanical, well-known from the prior art, for example hub locks (3) being equipped - these locks (3) are locked into cart pickup devices - the the removal of the lock required for removing the shopping cart (use) can only be achieved via a scanner ( 4 ) integrated in the shopping cart parking station - the scanner activation in turn can only be produced with the electronically readable identification card ( FIG. III). Said scanner ( 4 ) is integrated into the network of customer identification and goods accounting and registers the removal of the shopping cart from the specific customer "x". If the customer "x" brings his shopping cart ( 1 ) back to the shopping cart parking station ( Fig. I / II) after completing the purchase and confirms this process by identification with the ID card ( Fig. III) in conjunction with the shopping cart ( 1 ) ( Fig. IV), the process is registered in the central computer and deleted. In the event of omission (shopping cart ( 1 ) is left outside), this process remains registered and the invoice for the specific customer "x" is automatically "next shopping" with a "shopping cart return fee" of any amount - for example DM 2, - / DM 5, - charged automatically.

Der Sinn und Zweck der Einrichtung ist in praktikabler Form hergestellt, denn der einkaufende Kunde hat die freie Entscheidung den Einkaufswagen (1) kostenfrei selbst zurückzubringen oder diese Dienstleistung an Dritte zu delegieren und in angemessener Form zu honorieren. The purpose of the facility is made in a practicable form, because the purchasing customer has the free decision to return the shopping cart ( 1 ) free of charge or to delegate this service to third parties and to reward it in an appropriate form.
