Definitions

  • the present invention relates to payphones (public telephones) and other prepaid devices capable of receiving several different types of coins introduced in number and collected in succession.
  • Apparatuses of this type generally include a device arranged so as to store the coins introduced and to collect them one by one as the service is rendered.
  • a cashing device can very simply be constituted by a stirrup mounted to tilt inside the oblique slide traversed by the subsequent coins when the other branch disappears to release the first piece.
  • things turn out to be more complex when the device must ensure the treatment of parts which differ from one another in their diameter and / or their thickness, and in such cases one usually uses more complicated mechanisms, of more expensive construction and less reliable.
  • the reference 1 designates the oblique slide inside which circulate the coins, said slide being formed by the assembly of two fixed walls 2 and 3 (fig. 1 and 2), oriented vertically; it will be observed that the parts actually roll against an oblique facet 3a formed longitudinally in the wall 3 in line with the inner face of the wall 2, so as to allow the dimensions of said parts to be controlled, in the manner known per se.
  • the slide 1 includes an upper inlet (not shown) through which the coins are introduced one by one, and a lower angled outlet 4 which is controlled by the casing device, which is arranged to release one by one by exhaust the parts stored by said device in the slide 1.
  • This device essentially comprises a movable member 5 mounted to tilt on a fixed axis 6 carried by the upper part of the slide 1, suitably indented for this purpose; this axis 6 is oriented longitudinally with respect to the slide, so that the member 5 rocks in a plane transverse thereto.
  • this member 5 is constituted by a cylindrical part or barrel 5a which is integral on the one hand with an end flap 5b engaged in a notch 2a on the wall 2 of the slide 1, on the other hand with two lateral arms or fingers 5c and 5d offset axially with respect to each other along said barrel 5a.
  • each of these two fingers carries at the end a stud or pad 5e which faces the wall 2 of the slide.
  • the actuation of the tilting member 5 is operated in any suitable manner, for example using a small electromagnet 7 (fig. 2) carried by the wall 3 of the slide 1 and whose movable element 7a in the form of an elbow is placed between the two legs of a fork 5f secured to the barrel 5a.
  • This electromagnet is placed under the control of the control circuit of the prepayment device with which the collection device is associated.
  • the member 5 rocks around the axis 6 to affect the orientation shown in fig. 2.
  • the raceway formed by the longitudinal facet 3a of the slide 1 is released, so that the first coin can roll by gravity and cross the bent outlet 4 to be cashed.
  • the fingers 5c and 5d have applied against the part immediately upstream, so that the latter is retained in the slide 1 with the other parts waiting; it is only when the electromagnet 7 is no longer excited that as a result of the return of the member 5 to the original position the aforementioned fingers release their lateral pressure and that all of the waiting parts can move down until the first of them comes into contact with the flap 5b, itself returned to the initial position.
  • the cashing device ensures totally reliable operation, completely protected from any untimely adjustment.
  • the coins introduced into the slide 1 were of two different types, the large diameter coins having been referenced D, those of smaller diameter d, and it can be observed that by means of a precise positioning of the two fingers 5c and 5d along the barrel 5a of the tilting member 5, the effective blocking of the pieces waiting in the slide 1 is obtained, whatever the order of these (a small d followed by a large D in fig. 1, two small d in fig. 5, two large D in fig. 6, and a large D followed by a small d in fig. 7).
