Abstract

The coin-operated lock has a housing with a plastics part (2), fitted to the handle of the shopping trolley and a metal part (3), forming the lower part of the housing, or vice versa.The plastics part of the lock housing is used for providing good protection against low winter temps., while the metal part of the housing provides the required mechanical strength.

Description

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung handelt es sich um ein Einkaufswagen-Münzpfand­ schloßgehäuse (Fig. I und II), das aus wenigstens zwei Teilen (2) (3) besteht und diese aus unterschiedlichen Materialien, bevorzugt Metall (3) und Kunststoff (2) hergestellt sind. Hierbei ist beachtlich, daß die Kunststoffkomponente (2) des Gehäuseteiles bevorzugt über dem Handgriff (1) eingesetzt wird. Der einschlägige Stand der Technik weist ausschließlich Münz­ pfandschloßgehäuse aus, die entweder aus "Voll"-Metall oder aus "Voll"-Kunststoff herge­ stellt sind. Es ist ebenso offenkundig wie praxisbestätigt, daß beide konventionellen Problem­ lösungen Vorteile und Nachteile im praktischen Einsatz zeigen - nämlich die Vollmetallaus­ führung ist weitgehenst resistent gegen äußere Beschädigungen, jedoch relativ unangenehm im Handling, insbesondere bei Minustemperaturen im Winterbetrieb - die Vollkunststoffaus­ führung ist angenehm im Handling (wesentlich geringere Wärme-Kälte-Speicherkapazität), je­ doch infolge des geringeren mechanischen Widerstandes anfällig für äußere Beschädigungen. Die Erfindung soll diese Nachteile in einfachster Form dadurch beseitigen, daß grundsätzlich zwei Werkstoffe (Kunststoff (2) und Metall (3)) zum Einsatz kommen, wobei die Kunststoff­ komponente (2) das obere, im Handgriffbereich liegende, Gehäuseteil bildet das untere Gehäuseteil aus Metall (3) hergestellt ist. Die praxisrelevanten Forderungen sind in dieser Bauform so weit als technisch möglich erfüllt. The device according to the invention is a shopping cart coin deposit lock housing ( Fig. I and II), which consists of at least two parts ( 2 ) (3) and these are made of different materials, preferably metal ( 3 ) and plastic ( 2 ) are. It is noteworthy here that the plastic component ( 2 ) of the housing part is preferably used over the handle ( 1 ). The relevant prior art shows only coin lock housing, which are either made of "full" metal or "full" plastic Herge. It is as obvious as it is in practice that both conventional solutions show advantages and disadvantages in practical use - namely, the all-metal design is largely resistant to external damage, but relatively unpleasant to handle, especially when temperatures are below freezing in winter - the all-plastic design is pleasant to handle (much lower heat-cold storage capacity), however, due to the lower mechanical resistance susceptible to external damage. The invention is intended to eliminate these disadvantages in the simplest form by the fact that basically two materials (plastic ( 2 ) and metal ( 3 )) are used, the plastic component ( 2 ) forming the upper housing part located in the handle area and forming the lower housing part Metal ( 3 ) is made. The practical requirements in this design are met as far as technically possible.
