Description

L'invention concerne un perfectionnement au dispositif destine à la protection de tous mécanismes fournissant un service après introduction de pièces de monnaie oujjetons, contre l'introduction de tous autres objets nuisant à la bonne marche des dits appareils, objet du brevet n° 7739934; dispositif du type comportant un système obturateur dans lequel coulissent 3 pièces, dont 2 coulissent en sens opposés et sont rappelées par ressort. L'ensemble de ces 3 pièces étant agencé de telle manière que chacune de ces pièces poussées séparément se trouve bloquée par les 2 autres.The invention relates to an improvement to the device intended for the protection of all mechanisms providing a service after the introduction of coins or tokens, against the introduction of any other objects detrimental to the proper functioning of said devices, object of patent No. 7739934; device of the type comprising a shutter system in which 3 parts slide, 2 of which slide in opposite directions and are recalled by spring. All of these 3 pieces being arranged in such a way that each of these pieces pushed separately is blocked by the other 2.

Les appareils fournissant un service contre introduction de pièces de monnaie ou jetons sont souvent sujet à dégradations, du fait même que le mécanisme obturant la fente recevant les pièces ou jetons peut être forcé ou obturé par des coups étrangers (trombonne, lame, colle, ou outils quelconques). L'invention permet de ne laisser passer que les pièces ou jetons destinés à faire fonctionner l'appareil sur lequel il est adapté, grâce à son système obturateur constitué d'un logement dans lequel coulissent 3 pièces rappelées chacune en position initiale de repos par un ressort. La 3ème pièce coulissen perpendiculairement aux 2 pièces coulissant en sens opposé. Le déplacement de cette pièce et son blocage est assuré par une partie effilée portée par chacune des parties en vis-à-vis, des 2 autres pièces. Les 3 pièces coulissantes comportent des languettes articulées sur celles-ci, munies à leurs extrémités de dispositifs d'ancrage sur le logement en position de repos, et d'autre part une partie destinée à recevoir la pression exercée par la pièce introduite, tendant à libérer les dites pièces.Devices providing a service against the introduction of coins or tokens are often subject to damage, by the very fact that the mechanism closing the slot receiving the coins or tokens can be forced or closed by foreign blows (paperclip, blade, glue, or any tools). The invention allows only the coins or tokens intended to operate the device on which it is adapted to pass, thanks to its shutter system consisting of a housing in which slide 3 parts each returned to the initial rest position by a spring. The 3rd piece slides perpendicular to the 2 pieces sliding in opposite directions. The movement of this part and its blocking is ensured by a tapered part carried by each of the opposite parts of the other 2 parts. The 3 sliding parts include tongues articulated on these, provided at their ends with anchoring devices on the housing in the rest position, and on the other hand a part intended to receive the pressure exerted by the inserted part, tending to release the said pieces.

L'avantage de ce genre de dispositif est de pouvoir être remplacé extrêmement rapidement sur l'appareil puisqu'il constitue un système indépendant de l'appareil même.The advantage of this kind of device is that it can be replaced extremely quickly on the device since it constitutes a system independent of the device itself.

Dans ce qui suit, l'invention est exposée plus en détail.In the following, the invention is explained in more detail.

Le dispositif comporte : - une platine sur laquelle sont fixés 2 ponts disposés de part et d'autre de la partie centrale et au dessus de l'évidement destiné à laisser passer la pièce ou'.le jeton. Ces ponts présentent des évidements destinés à guider dans leur partie, en vis-à-vis d'une butée inférieure de la platine, 2 coulisseaux horizontaux. Chacun des ponts contient un ressort destiné à rappeler en position centrale les coulisseaux horizontaux. Ces coulisseaux horizontaux comportent en vis-à-vis une partie effilée destinée à assurer le rappel et le maintien en position fermée du coulisseau vertical. En outre, les coulisseaux horizontaux et verticaux comportent des languettes articulées sur ceux-ci et munies à leurs extrémités de dispositifs d'ancrage sur la platine en position de repos et d'autre part d'une partie destinée à recevoir la pression exercée par la pièce introduite et tendant à les libérer, et ensuite à repousser les coulisseaux horizontaux, libérant à leur tour le coulisseau vertical. Ces languettes étant ramenées en position de repos par ressort incorporé.The device comprises: - a plate on which are fixed 2 bridges arranged on either side of the central part and above the recess intended to allow the coin to pass through. These bridges have recesses intended to guide in their part, facing a lower stop of the plate, 2 horizontal slides. Each of the bridges contains a spring intended to recall the horizontal slides in the central position. These horizontal slides have opposite a tapered portion intended to ensure the return and the maintenance in the closed position of the vertical slide. In addition, the horizontal and vertical slides have tongues articulated on these and provided at their ends with anchoring devices on the plate in the rest position and on the other hand with a part intended to receive the pressure exerted by the part introduced and tending to release them, and then to push back the horizontal slides, in turn releasing the vertical slide. These tabs being returned to the rest position by incorporated spring.

Le dispositif se présente comme un ensemble de 9 pièces essentielles plus la visserie et les ressorts de rappel.The device is presented as a set of 9 essential parts plus the screws and the return springs.

Ces pièces sont :

  • - la platine (5)
  • - les 2 ponts (6) fixés à la platine.
  • - 1 coulisseau vertical (7)
  • - 2 coulisseaux horizontaux (8) et (8')
  • - 2 languettes d'accrochage (10)
  • - 1 languette d'accrochage (9)
These pieces are:
  • - the plate (5)
  • - the 2 bridges (6) fixed to the plate.
  • - 1 vertical slide (7)
  • - 2 horizontal slides (8) and (8 ')
  • - 2 hanging tabs (10)
  • - 1 hooking tab (9)

Lorsque les 2 ponts (6) sont fixés sur la platine (5), ils créent les évidements dans lesquels vont pouvoir fonctionner les coulisseaux (7), (8) et (8').When the 2 bridges (6) are fixed on the plate (5), they create the recesses in which the slides (7), (8) and (8 ') can operate.

La pièce telle que représentée en (5), représente la platine du mécanisme vue côté introduction de la pièce de monnaie. La pièce 'telle que représentée en (5), vue arrière, représente la platine avec les 2 ponts (6) fixés par une vis et 2 goujons de centrage (13) et en n°7 le coulisseau central en place dans son logement. Les ponts n°6 font apparaître (vue intérieure) l'usinage nécessaire pour le mouvement des pièces 8 et 8' qui coulissent entre la platine n°5 et les ponts ; sur ces derniers est fixé un ressort de rappel (12) dépassant dans le logement créé par les coulisseaux horizontaux, afin de pousser ceux-ci dans le sens prévu.The coin as shown in (5) represents the plate of the mechanism seen on the insertion side of the coin. The part 'as shown in (5), rear view, represents the plate with the 2 bridges (6) fixed by a screw and 2 centering studs (13) and in n ° 7 the central slide in place in its housing. The bridges n ° 6 show (interior view) the machining necessary for the movement of the parts 8 and 8 'which slide between the plate n ° 5 and the bridges; on these is fixed a return spring (12) projecting into the housing created by the horizontal slides, in order to push the latter in the direction provided.

Pour pouvoir passer à travers ce système une pièce de monnaie ou un jeton, doit faire pression simultanément sur trois points qui sont respectivement la languette (9) et les deux languettes (10). Ces languettes sont fixées sur les coulisseaux 8, 7 et 8'. Pour les coulisseaux 8 et 8', les languettes sont représentées par le n° 10.To be able to pass through this system a coin or a token, must press simultaneously on three points which are respectively the tongue (9) and the two tongues (10). These tabs are fixed on the slides 8, 7 and 8 '. For slides 8 and 8 ', the tabs are represented by n ° 10.

Ces deux coulisseaux 8 et 8' fonctionnent horizontalement l'un en face de l'autre.These two slides 8 and 8 'operate horizontally opposite one another.

La languette d'accrochage de chaque coulisseau s'accroche derrière la platine (5). Chaque languette 10 et 9, est poussée dans son logement d'ancrage ou d'accrochage par un ressort en spire pour les languettes 10 et à lamelle pour la languette 9. Les 2 coulisseaux 8 et 8' sont poussés l'un en face de l'autre contre le coulisseau vertical n° 7 par la pression d'un ressort fixé respectivement sur chacune des pièces ou pont 6.The hooking tab of each slide hooks behind the plate (5). Each tongue 10 and 9 is pushed into its anchoring or latching housing by a coil spring for the tongues 10 and with a lamella for the tongue 9. The 2 slides 8 and 8 'are pushed one opposite the other against the vertical slide n ° 7 by the pressure of a spring fixed respectively on each of the parts or bridge 6.

Ce ressort (ressort fil) est fixé par une vis permettant la tension de ce ressort sur le coulisseau. Le coulisseau vertical 7 est ramené en sa position de fermeture par les 2 coulisseaux horizontaux 8 et 8', car ceux-ci possèdent en leurs extrémités une partie effilée qui s'incruste dans le coulisseau vertical et assure sa position de fermeture.This spring (wire spring) is fixed by a screw allowing the tension of this spring on the slide. The vertical slide 7 is returned to its closed position by the 2 horizontal slides 8 and 8 ′, because these have at their ends a tapered part which is embedded in the vertical slide and ensures its closed position.

La description de chacunes des pièces constituant ce système permet de comprendre le processus de fonctionnement de celui-ci. Ce dispositif a pour but principal de ne laisser passer que les pièces ou les jetons destinés à faire fonctionner l'apparéil sur lequel il est adapté. L'avantage de ce genre de dispositif est d'être remplacé extrêmement rapidement sur l'appareil même.The description of each of the parts making up this system makes it possible to understand the operating process of this system. The main purpose of this device is to allow only coins or tokens intended to operate the device to which it is adapted to pass. The advantage of this kind of device is that it can be replaced extremely quickly on the device itself.

Que se passe-t-il lorsqu'on introduit une pièce de monnaie dans le système ? La pièce appuie sur les trois languettes (9) et(10) sous la pression de la pièce :

  • - les deux languettes (10) décrochent les deux coulisseaux horizontaux 8 et 8' qui s'écartent en sens opposé,
  • -simultanément la languette (9) se décroche et le coulisseau vertical (7) monte. Le passage est alors libéré pour la pièce ou le jeton.
What happens when a coin is introduced into the system? The part presses on the three tabs (9) and (10) under the pressure of the part:
  • - the two tongues (10) unhook the two horizontal slides 8 and 8 'which move apart in opposite directions,
  • -simultaneously the tongue (9) comes off and the vertical slide (7) goes up. The passage is then cleared for the coin or token.

Aussitôt la pièce passée, les ressorts "fil" des ponts (6) tendus par l'écartement des coulisseaux horizontaux, ramènent les trois coulisseaux en leur position initiale ; les trois languettes reviennent donc s'accrocher à la platine (5). La position de chaque languette et leur distance respective fait qu'il faut impérativement faire pression sur les trois languettes à la fois si l'on veut obtenir l'ouverture du système. Si par l'introduction d'un objet non adéquat l'on fait pression sur une ou deux languettes, l'ouverture du système ne se produit pas.As soon as the part is past, the "wire" springs of the bridges (6) stretched by the spacing of the horizontal slides, bring the three slides back to their initial position; the three tabs therefore return to hang on the plate (5). The position of each tab and their respective distance makes it imperative to put pressure on the three tabs at the same time if one wants to obtain the opening of the system. If one or two tabs are pressed by the introduction of an unsuitable object, the opening of the system does not occur.
