Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for releasing and receiving transport trolleys, in particular shopping or baggage trolleys, in which the transport trolleys are removed from a collection point against payment of a deposit and returned to the collection point after use, the return payment being made after the return process has been completed Coin deposit is refunded again and the device required for this purpose is formed from at least one stationary holding stand which forms the collection point.
  • Facilities of this type are preferably used in self-service shops, but also at train stations and airfields.
  • the aim is to bring the trolley back to the collection point after use.
  • these trolleys have coupling parts which have a device for receiving and returning a coin serving as a deposit.
  • the transport trolleys can be coupled to one another in the pushed-together state via the coupling parts, the transport trolley, which is arranged in the forward direction, viewed in the direction of travel, in turn being coupled to a holding stand forming the collection point.
  • the set goal is achieved according to the invention in that a central key is kept ready at the collection point, with the aid of which the coupling part of each returned trolley can be activated to give out the coin deposit.
  • the central key is arranged so as to be movable and captive on or near the holding stand.
  • the advantage of the invention is that the trolleys must always be returned to the collection point if you want to get the coin deposit. A "wild" coupling of transport trolleys to one another far from the collection point is not possible. Furthermore, one saves a complex coin dispenser on the coupling parts in that one and the same key fits all coupling parts. Where previously a key or a similar device with the same function as the key was provided on each coupling part, this is now reduced to a single one. This enables the coupling parts to be manufactured more cheaply.
  • the method and the new device 1 are explained in more detail with reference to a drawing. You can see in the drawing a stack of nested transport trolleys 2, 2 ', 2 "; in the example, these are shopping trolleys. It could also be the known luggage transport trolleys.
  • the transport trolley 2' which is at the front in the direction of travel, is detachably coupled to a bracket-shaped support stand 7. On the frontmost transport trolley 2 ' are other transport cars 2, 2 "detachably coupled in a row against the direction of thrust.
  • each transport trolley 2, 2 ', 2 has, for example near its grip area 3, a coupling part 4 which, in a known manner, connects a transport trolley 2, 2" to a transport trolley 2, 2' or with the support stand 7.
  • the coupling parts 4 have a device 5 for receiving and returning a coin. If a coin is inserted into the coupling part 4 of the rearmost transport carriage 2 ", its coupling part 4 is influenced in a known manner in such a way that its locking is released with the transport carriage 2 or 2 'located in front of it. The rearmost transport carriage 2" can thus be released Remove the stack. It is available to the user. In this state, the coin remains in the coupling part 4. It cannot be removed from it manually.
  • the holding stand 7 consists of a U-shaped bracket 8, the legs 9 of which are fastened to the floor 10.
  • a further bracket 11 is provided on the cross connection 10 of the bracket 8, which is connected to the coupling part 4 of the foremost transport carriage 2
  • an upwardly directed post 12 which carries a horizontal support part 14, for example in the form of a tube or wire rope, which leads to a further post 13 which is fastened to the floor
  • Both posts 12, 13 can be connected to a strut 18 near the ground.
  • a sliding piece 15 is mounted, which can be pushed back and forth on the support part 14.
  • An expediently sprung cord 16 leads down from the slider 15, at the end of which the central key 17 is captively attached at gripping height. With this arrangement, the central key 17 can be moved between the two posts 12, 13 to each transport carriage 2, 2 ', 2 ". It is expedient to design the cord 16 only so long that each transport carriage 2, 2', 2" wants effect the issue of the coin, must be brought very close to the strut 18. This ensures that the returned trolleys 2, 2 ', 2 "form a straight stack.
  • the two posts 12, 13 do not necessarily have to be attached to the floor. It is entirely conceivable to lower the two posts 12, 13 from the ceiling in a shop. Likewise, the connection of the post 12 to the support stand 7 is not absolutely necessary. However, the support stand 7, the two posts 12, 13, the support member 14, if necessary, the strut 18, and the central key 17 with cord 16 and slide 15, the collection point 6, to which the transport carriages 2, 2 ', 2 "can be returned and removed from there. However, several can be in one flight to a collection point 6 erected posts 12, 13 with supporting parts 14 and central key 17 belong, depending on how long the stack of trolleys 2, 2 ', 2 "should be maximum. Expediently, a plurality of collection points 6 can also be arranged next to one another, for example to accommodate a large number of transport trolleys 2, 2 ', 2 "centrally.
