Abstract

A coin controlled lock unit operates with a single entry point and two different sizes of coin that are distinguished from each other. The slot is formed with an internal angled surface (2) that is sized to support the larger coin on an angle. The smaller coin (3) sits in the central space on a flat, horizontal surface. In both instances the coins are centrally located and engaged the lock mechanism (5).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung, die als Münzkammer für Münzpfandsysteme ausgebildet ist. Entsprechend den erfindungsgemäß 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 trained 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-Systemfunktionen grundsätzlich zwei Münzschlitze mit entsprechend zugeordneten Systemkomponenten ausweist, vorteilhaft.Compared to the prior art for such coin system functions basically two coin slots with correspondingly assigned Identifies 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 an Hand 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 Münzpfandtechnik 5 systemkonform. Gegebenenfalls ist die Münzpfandtechnik 5 auf die Kriterien der spez. Münzkammer 1 abzustimmen. The principle of operation is quite simple, because the purpose is only achieved in that the coin chamber is provided with simple housing contours 2 1, to ensure that the smaller coin out 3 are preferably horizontally (Fig. IV) via respective contours 2, concentrically in Positioned in the coin chamber 1 , on the other hand, 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 technology 5 in accordance with the system. If necessary, the coin deposit technology 5 is based on the criteria of the spec. Coordinate coin chamber 1 .

FunktionsablaufFunctional flow a) Einschub kleine Münzea) Small coin slot

Über denb Münzschlitz 6 im Systemgehhäuse 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.Over DeNB coin slot 6 in Systemgehhäuse the coin 3 is inserted and which are formed in such a way on the side housing contour 2 that the coin is positioned in the center of the coin chamber 1 3 and arranged in the center of the coin chamber 1 Münzschloßmechanik 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. Es zeigtProcedure as a), but modified to the extent that the coin is guided on the lateral housing contours 2 , which begin to rise from the coin slot 6 to the approx. Middle of the rear coin chamber boundary, and thus actuates the coin lock mechanism 5 in an inclined position. It shows
