They are already self-collectors for electricity, gas ο. Like. Has been proposed at which, when the basic fee is due, the consumables regardless of the position of the default factory is blocked, so that the consumer is forced to take before further removal of the consumable to pay the basic fee. This facility prevents the consumer from making payment bypasses the basic fee if there are still so many supply coins in the due date Self-cashier has that it will be sufficient until the next due date.

In many cases, e.g. B. for over-consumption meters with self-sellers and a basic fee facility, it is essential to use a construction that is as simple as possible, with only a few additional parts to the usual ones Self sellers needed to. to achieve the desired effect.

This can be achieved by using an automatically controlled by the cassette Organ of fee payment is connected to a device through which when removing the cassette the consumable is locked regardless of the respective state of the default work until the new basic fee has been paid.

According to the invention is the. Default shaft with a toll lock device fixed and with the planetary gear of the differential gear rotated in a known manner by hand and by the counter Connected via a releasable coupling, whereby 'when' actuation of the charge lock device the clutch released and the default shaft inserted into the consumable locking position is brought, while the clutch is restored after payment of the basic fee and the default shaft is returned to the previous position.

An exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing.

The switch handle 1, by rotating it, introduces the coin into the cashier is, is releasable with the sun gear of the differential gear 3, 4, 5 via the clutch 2 coupled. The planetary gear 5 is connected to the default shaft 22 via a clutch 31, 32, 33, 37> 38, 39 connected that when taking out the cassette 15 through the angle lever 11 is released, at the same time the default shaft 22 is brought into the consumable blocking position. Additional payment After the basic fee, the coupling is restored and the default shaft 22 in that Position returned that corresponds to the number of consumable coins in the self-cashier.

The cashier is in that position shown, which he takes when from

* J The following have been named as the inventors by the patent seeker:

Max Helm in Berlin-Niederschönhausen and Frit ^ Schöbel in Berlin-Heinersdorf.

Acceptance officer the cassette 15 is just inserted. The number of supply coins is three, as can be seen from the information on roll 40. The switch 6 is open until the customer has paid the basic fee. The lever 8 is rotated backwards by the inserted cassette 15 against the spring 9, the angle lever 11 connected to the lever 8 by the spring 41 occupying the position in which the clutch 2 between the switch 1 and the sun gear 3 is released. Here the pin 13 of the angle lever 11 rests against one of the teeth of the wheel 14. The spiral spring 37 also presses the lever 39 carrying the pin 38 against the pin 13, so that the default shaft 22 is firmly wedged onto which the lever 39 is, assumes that position in which the shift lever 25 can slide past the half-cylinder of the default shaft 22. The toothed wheel 31 and the segment piece 32, which is firmly connected to the toothed wheel 31, sit loosely on the shaft 22. The gear 31 engages ^ 3, takes place via the a return rotation of the setting shaft 22 in a known manner by the payer is not shown in the firmly connected to the shaft of the pinion gear 5.

If a fee coin is now inserted into the not shown slot of the self-cashier and the control handle 1 is turned around in a known manner, then, since the clutch 2 is released, the wheels 3, 4, 5 of the planetary gear and the gears 33, 31, 40 not taken. So there will be no change in the position of the default shaft 22, so that the shift lever is not held by the default shaft and the -'Schalter 6 can not be closed. The pin 13, however, is brought into the next tooth of the gear wheel 14 by the charge counter, which is not shown and is effective in a known manner. If more fee coins are paid, the pin 13 will always move by one tooth of the gear 14 without changing anything in the position of the other parts. Only when the basic fee has been paid in full will the pen

13 in the deep groove 16 of the gear 14 a-50. fall.

The angle lever 11 can now follow the train of the spring 41. This will make that fork-shaped end of the lever 11 removed from the coupling 2, so that the coupling between the handle 1 and the sun wheel 3 is restored. The gear

14 is designed so that at the same time as the pin 13 falls into the groove 16 the lever 39 is released. This can

z. B. can be achieved in that the latter tooth is slightly higher or that the wheel is arranged eccentrically. The pin 13 will thus raised a little higher before falling into the groove 16 and thereby gives the lever 39 free. This moves forward until the pin 38 strikes the segment 32. Since the half cylinder of the default shaft is firmly connected to the lever 39, it will open this way according to the supply coins still in the cashier's office, which yes determine the position of the wheel 3 r with the segment 32, adjusts and locks the shift lever 25. The switch 6 can then be switched on in a known manner. It is then also through the pin 38 the coupling between the wheel 31 and the default shaft 22 produced so that the self-cashier according to the consumption by the with the Counter related sun gear 4 can be turned back until all supply coins are used up.

If the cassette is pulled out the next time the amount of money collected is collected, so the lever 8 will snap forward by the train of the spring 9. This will make the clutch between your wheels 31 and the shaft 22 released. The shaft 22 is also turned back by the pin 13 so far that that the switch lever 25 opens the switch 6, the wheel 31 but that of the currently existing go Number of supply coins maintains the corresponding position.

When inserting the cassette 15 is the Lever 8 pushed backwards again, the stop 12 moving away from the lever χ ι removed. All other parts retain their position because the pin 13 of the angle lever 11 lies against a tooth of the wheel 14 and the lever 11 is thus prevented from rotating. The switch can therefore do so are not closed for a long time until the new basic fee has been paid. Is that the case, so is that the pin 13 in the depth Groove 16 falls, the coupling 31, 32, 33,37, 38,39 assume such a position that, if there are consumable coins in the cashier, the lever 25 of the Default shaft 22 and accordingly also the switch held in the switching position again will.

Claims (1)

Claim: Self cashier for electricity, gas or the like with basic fee facility and a locking device, through which the consumables are due when the basic fee is due is blocked, characterized in that the default shaft (22) with the charge lock device (39) fixed and with the planet gear (5) of the known in Way by hand and from that Counter rotated differential gear via a releasable clutch (31, 32, 33, 37, 38,39) is connected, the clutch released and the default shaft when the charge locking device (39) is actuated (22) is brought into the dispensing position of the consumable while, after. payment the basic fee restored the clutch and the default shaft in the previous position is returned. 1 sheet of drawings
