Abstract

A coin operated mechanism has a slot (6) that allows two different sizes of coins (3,4) to be entered. The slot has two elements of the lock mechanism (8). The larger of the two coins is located on an angled section (2) that is sized such that the smaller coin (3) would pass onto the centre section. The smaller coin lies flat on the surface. USE/ADVANTAGE - Allows coins of different size to be entered and identified.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung, die als Münzkammer für Münzpfandsysteme ausgebildet ist. Entsprechend den erfindungs­ gemäß ausgebildeten speziellen inneren Konturen einer derartigen Münzkammer besteht die Möglichkeit über einen Münzschlitz (Eingabe- und Entnahmeöffnung) mit wenigstens zwei Münzen unterschiedlicher Größe gesicherte Münzkennung und hierauf begründete mechanische, konventionelle Systemfunktion herzustellen.The invention relates to a device used as a coin chamber for Coin deposit systems are designed. According to the Invention according to the special inner contours of such Coin chamber is possible via a coin slot (Entry and withdrawal opening) with at least two coins different sized coin ID and on it established mechanical, conventional system function to manufacture.

Gegenüber dem Stand der Technik, der für derartige Münz-System­ funktionen grundsätzlich zwei Münzschlitze mit entsprechend zuge­ ordneten Systemkomponenten ausweist, vorteilhaft.Compared to the prior art for such a coin system functions basically two coin slots with correspondingly organized system components, advantageous.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ist demgemäß eine Zusatz- bzw. Alternativausstattung für Münzpfandsysteme aller Art insbesondere für Münzpfandsysteme an Einkaufswagen.The device according to the invention is accordingly an additional or Alternative equipment for all types of coin deposit systems in particular for coin deposit systems on shopping trolleys.

Die praktische Relevanz begründet sich grundsätzlich auf die hinlänglich bekannten Benutzervorteile einerseits sowie Raum- und Materialeinsparung bei Einsatz der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung im Münzpfandschloß andererseits. The practical relevance is based on the well-known user benefits on the one hand and space and Material savings when using the device according to the invention in the coin deposit lock, on the other hand.  

Die Erfindung wird anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles in Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnungen näher erläutert.The invention is based on an embodiment in Reference to the drawings explained in more detail.

Das Funktionsprinzip ist denkbar einfach, denn der Sinn und Zweck wird ausschließlich dadurch erreicht, daß die Münzkammer (1) mit einfachen Gehäusekonturen (2) versehen wird, die gewährleisten, daß die kleinere Münze (3) vorzugsweise waagerecht (Fig. IV) über entsprechende Konturen (2) geführt, konzentrisch in der Münzkammer (1) positioniert ist hingegen die größere Münze (4) über die gleichen Konturen in gleiche Position gebracht, jedoch in Schräglage (Fig. III). Beide Positionen betätigen die Münzpfandmechanik (5) systemkonform. Gegebenenfalls ist die Münzpfandmechanik (5) auf die Kriterien der spez. Münzkammer (1) abzustimmen. The principle of operation is very simple, because the purpose is achieved only by providing the coin chamber ( 1 ) with simple housing contours ( 2 ), which ensure that the smaller coin ( 3 ) is preferably horizontal ( Fig. IV) over the corresponding one Contours ( 2 ) guided, positioned concentrically in the coin chamber ( 1 ), however, the larger coin ( 4 ) is brought into the same position over the same contours, but in an inclined position ( Fig. III). Both positions operate the coin deposit mechanism ( 5 ) in accordance with the system. If necessary, the coin deposit mechanism ( 5 ) is based on the criteria of the spec. Coordinate the coin chamber ( 1 ).

FunktionsablaufFunctional flow a.) Einschub kleine Münzea.) Small coin slot

Über den Münzschlitz (6) im Systemgehäuse wird die Münze (3) eingeschoben und über die seitlichen Gehäusekonturen (2) die derart ausgebildet sind, daß die Münze (3) in der Mitte der Münzkammer (1) positioniert ist und die in der Mitte der Münzkammer (1) angeordnete Münzschloßmechanik (5) betätigt.About the coin slot ( 6 ) in the system housing, the coin ( 3 ) is inserted and over the side housing contours ( 2 ) which are designed such that the coin ( 3 ) is positioned in the middle of the coin chamber ( 1 ) and in the middle of the Coin chamber ( 1 ) arranged coin lock mechanism ( 5 ) actuated.

b.) Einschub große Münzeb.) Large coin slot

Vorgang wie a.), jedoch in soweit modifiziert als daß die Münze auf den seitlichen Gehäusekonturen (2), die sich beginnend vom Münzschlitz (6) ansteigend bis zur ca. Mitte der hinteren Münzkammerbegrenzung erstrecken, geführt wird und somit in Schräglage die Münzschloßmechanik (5) betätigt. Procedure as a.), But modified to the extent that the coin is guided on the side housing contours ( 2 ), which begin to rise from the coin slot ( 6 ) to the approx. Middle of the rear coin chamber boundary, and thus the coin lock mechanism () 5 ) actuated.

1.) Vorrichtung ausgebildet als Münzkammer für Münzpfand­ schlösser (Fig. I), die gewährleistet, daß über einen Münzschlitz (6) wenigstens zwei Münzen unterschied­ lichen Durchmessers (2/3) gesicherte Funktionsbereit­ schaft der jeweiligen Münzschloßmechanik (5) herge­ stellt ist, insoweit eine Zusatzausstattung für Münz­ pfandschlösser in beliebigem praktischen Einsatz, ge­ kennzeichnet dadurch, daß die äußeren Gehäusekonturen (2) der Münzkammer (1) derart ausgebildet sind, daß wenigstens zwei unterschiedlich große Münzen nach er­ folgtem Einschub über den gemeinsamen Münzschlitz (6) jeweils und vorzugsweise in ihrer Mitte (großer Durch­ messer) die Münzschloßmechanik (5) betätigen, wobei die kleinere Münze (3) seitlich geführt durch die Gehäuse­ konturen (2) vorzugsweise waagrecht (Fig. IV) posi­ tioniert ist, die größere Münze (4) geführt über die gleichen Gehäusekonturen (2), jedoch auf den selben, welche beginnend in der Nähe des Münzschlitzes (6) vom Gehäuseboden bis ca.
