Definitions

  • the invention relates to automatic coin-operated systems or machines which are capable of collecting and returning money according to a requested service or product delivered.
  • Advanced systems of this kind include a coin store which must be managed to track the payment (coins introduced may be of several types defined, tested and determined in value at entry) and to then proceed to collection and to the change of money depending on the cost of the service or product provided.
  • Such management is now easily programmable using a microprocessor processing the input and value information of the parts, state of the store, cost of the service or product, and determination of the parts to be collected and of those to be returned to the fairest.
  • the object of the present invention is to satisfy these two conditions in the first place.
  • a coin store for payment system comprising an input selector and identification of coins of several types supplying the store by a corridor of admission one to one of the identified pieces, said store comprising means for selective removal of the pieces from the store for the purpose of collecting or returning change, and being characterized in that it consists of a series of parts cells arranged side by side in a downward inclined path from the inlet passage leading to the first of the cells, each of them being provided with a lower retaining member parts and comprising a flap mounted pivoting laterally on one side of the cell and having a lower control part normally projecting into the cell above said retaining member and an upper part extending normally out of the cell and intended to form a member for closing the access to the cell in response to the tilting of the lower part of the flap by a part falling into the cell, said upper part forming a retaining member constituting an inclined plane element of a circulation corridor for the parts above the already occupied cells, leading to an overflow when the magazine is full, and said
  • each retaining member is ensured by means of an electromagnet with impulse control and retention by remanence upon erasing of said member, and with demagnetization by impulse in opposite directions .
  • the energy necessary for the operation of the store is also only a matter of gravity.
  • Such an embodiment also lends itself very well to making visible the store and the parts which are already present there and moreover well maintained in their cells according to the possible return of money expected, without the need for a display of the stock in store.
  • the coin store shown in the drawing is made up of two parallel plates 1 and 2, assembled and kept spaced apart with respect to each other by means of various spacers, so as to leave between them more than the thickness of the thickest coin intended to enter the store.
  • the plate 1 made of transparent material, is intended to face a window of the device fitted to such a store.
  • the plate 2 is an opaque plate, serving as a support on its rear face to the active organs of the store, as well as to a printed power supply and electrical control circuit as will be seen below.
  • the entrance to the store is constituted by an inlet corridor 3 one by one of the various parts introduced into the device.
  • This corridor is supplied by the output of a prior identification selector of the pieces providing rejection or recognized value information for each piece, this selector possibly being of any known type not falling within the scope of the present invention.
  • the corridor 3 is here delimited by two substantially vertical spacers 3a, 3b connected to the outlet of said selector not shown and spaced to allow the admitted part of larger planned diameter to pass.
  • the store itself consists of a series of cells formed between the two plates 1 and 2, following a downward inclined path from the first cell located below and at the exit of the corridor 3, these cells being partitioned by spacers 4 here provided with lateral lugs 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d engaged in corresponding holes of the plates. These spacers are spaced so as to be able to receive the admitted part of the largest planned diameter, such as that P which occupies the first cell located under the passage 3 in FIG. 1.
  • a lower retaining member of the stored part consisting of two fingers 5 penetrating between the plates through an opening 6 of the plate 2.
  • These two fingers 5 are formed by the curved ends of a fork 7 integral with the armature 8a of an electromagnet 8, fixed on a support ramp at a square 9 common to all the electromagnets of the cells of the store and fixed by screws at 10 on the plate 2.
  • the armature 8a is normally biased by a tension spring 11 in a position for which the retaining fingers 5 abut against the plate 1, that is to say that they are normally in the retaining position of any part having entered the 'cell considered, this waiting state of a part being illustrated in fig - 3.
  • each cell is controlled using a tilting flap designated by 12 as a whole, mounted pivoting laterally on the back of the plate 2, on an axis 13 engaged in corresponding holes of the lugs 4d of the spacers 4, this axis here being common to all the flaps 12 of the cells of the store.
  • Each flap has a lower part with several branches 12a, 12b, 12c which normally project between the plates, through the opening 6 of the plate 2, in an inclined position towards the plate 1 and pressing against it, above the fingers 5.
  • Each flap has an upper part 12b with a flange 12th turning towards the plates, and normally extending out of the cell (see fig.
  • the rest and waiting position of the flap 12 illustrated in FIG. 3 is provided by means of a support blade 12f cut from the shutter to urge it, as a result of its support on the plate 2 and an initial return force, in the rest position of FIG. 3 maintained by the preponderant gravity of the upper part of the flap relative to its lower part.
  • the ratio of the lever arms of the lower and upper parts of the flap is such that for a part of the smallest admitted thickness, such as that shown in FIG.
  • the re-entrant edge 12e closes well against the plate 1 the access of the cell.
  • the branches 12a, 12b, 12c of the lower part of the flap preferably have a certain flexibility, leaving the thicker parts also to come into abutment in the stopped position on the retaining fingers 5 in the closed access position of the cell. .
  • the store is automatically filled in the order of the free cells at the arrival of each piece, the re-entrant edge 12th of the flap of each cell containing a coin acting as an inclined rolling plane or sliding towards the next cell.
  • the re-entrant edges 12e of their flaps together form an inclined return path (arrow 15) from any excess room towards a not shown overflow corridor, communicating with a return waste 'user.
  • the latter also visually perceives the partial filling state of the cells resulting from the management of the store before he begins to supply it with coins for the service he desires.
  • Each part identified by the selector then admitted into a cell in the store is subject to a location and presence control, here ensured by the way of an electrical contact being established between each blade 12f and a patch 16 forming part of a printed circuit on the plate 2, which for this purpose comprises an individual track P1 per pad 16 and a track C1 with which is welded in electrical contact the lug 4d of a cell spacer which constitutes a common to all the flaps 12, by their electrical contact with the axis 13 that they have in common.
  • an afterglow electromagnet is advantageously used here, having to be energized on call only temporarily and therefore being maintained by remanence in the state shown in FIG. 6, during the part evacuation phase.
  • the fork 7 with fingers 5 cooperates during the excitation of the electromagnet with a rear bar 12g of the lower part of the flap, in order to impose the withdrawal of the latter out of the cell as illustrated in fig. 6, in order to guarantee that the coin present in the cell is well evacuated without any influence of the flap on it.
  • the active organs of each cell concerned are brought back to their initial state illustrated in FIG. 3, by demagnetization of the corresponding electromagnet, by sending it a pulse of opposite polarity to that of the aforementioned excitation.
  • This electrical supply of the electromagnets is here ensured as seen for the cell of FIG. 4, by way of an individual electric track dual El printed on the plate and another printed track C2 common to all the electromagnets, leading to connection points on the plate 2 to which the supply conductors 19, 20 of the two terminals of the two are directly soldered winding of the electromagnet.
  • the use of plate 2 as a printed circuit support greatly reduces any wiring on the back of the store and practically eliminates any risk of interference between the active organs of the store and the electrical conductors used for the command and management control of this store. .
