Abstract

Mounted on a flap (2) which is pivotably fitted in a chamber (3) and through which an insertion slot (5) passes is an inclined sliding channel (12) which is underneath the outlet slot (6) of the chamber (3) in the retracted state of the flap (2). A coin (M) which drops out immediately rolls towards the coin tester, whereas objects which are not round remain on the sliding channel (12) until it is swivelled back along with the flap (2), causing the objects to drop down. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einwurfvorrichtung für Selbstkassierer nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a deposit device for self-cashiers according to the preamble of claim 1.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die im Hauptpatent beschriebene Einwurfvorrichtung so zu verbessern, daß andere Gegenstände als Münzen, die in den Einwurfschlitz gesteckt werden können, sicher ausgeschieden werden und nicht zum Münzprüfer gelangen können. Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.The invention has for its object to improve the insertion device described in the main patent so that objects other than coins that can be inserted into the insertion slot are safely excreted and cannot reach the coin validator. This object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1. Advantageous further developments can be found in the subclaims.

Die Erfindung wird an Ausführungsbeispielen näher beschrieben, die in den zugehörigen Zeichnungen dargestellt sind. Darin zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine erfindungsgemäße Einwurfvorrichtung für Münzen mit einer schwenkbaren Klappe mit Einwurfschlitz und Laufschiene für eingeworfene Münzen, in Seitenansicht, geschnitten, bei ausgeschwenkter Klappe;
  • Fig. 2 die Einwurfvorrichtung nach Fig. 1 bei eingeschwenkter Klappe;
  • Fig. 3 eine Einwurfvorrichtung ähnlich der in Fig. 1 gezeigten, jedoch mit Schlitzplatte, in Seitenansicht, geschnitten, bei offenem Einwurfschlitz und
  • Fig. 4 die Einwurfvorrichtung nach Fig. 3, bei geschlossenem Einwurfschlitz.
The invention is described in more detail using exemplary embodiments which are illustrated in the associated drawings. In it show:
  • Figure 1 shows an insertion device for coins according to the invention with a pivotable flap with insertion slot and guide rail for inserted coins, in side view, cut, with the flap pivoted out.
  • FIG. 2 shows the insertion device according to FIG. 1 with the flap pivoted in;
  • Fig. 3 shows an insertion device similar to that shown in Fig. 1, but with a slotted plate, in side view, cut, with the insertion slot open and
  • Fig. 4 shows the insertion device according to Fig. 3, with the insertion slot closed.

Die in den Fig. 1 und 2 gezeigte Einwurfvorrichtung für Münzen für einen Selbstkassierer entspricht im wesentlichen der im Hauptpatent beschriebenen Ausführung. Für gleiche Teile sind gleiche Bezugszeichen verwendet. Die schwenkbare Klappe 2 ist um eine waagrechte Achse 4 drehbar in einer Kammer 3 gelagert. Die Frontplatte 1 dieser Kammer dient zur Befestigung in einer Wand W des Selbstkassierers. Ein Ausschnitt in der Frontplatte 1 wird von der Klappe 2 ausgefüllt, die im eingeschwenkten Zustand annähernd bündig mit der Frontplatte 1 steht. Da die Achse 4 relativ tief liegt, steht die Klappe 2 im ausgeschwenkten Zustand mit ihrem oberen Teil so weit aus der Frontplatte vor, daß der Einwurfschlitz 5 zugänglich ist, der die Klappe 2 von oben nach unten durchsetzt. Die Auswärtsbewegung wird durch einen Ansatz 10a an der Oberkante der Klappe 2 begrenzt.The insertion device for coins for a self-cashier shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 essentially corresponds to the embodiment described in the main patent. The same reference numerals are used for the same parts. The pivotable flap 2 is rotatably mounted about a horizontal axis 4 in a chamber 3. The front plate 1 of this chamber is used for fastening in a wall W of the cashier. A cutout in the front panel 1 is filled by the flap 2, which is approximately flush with the front panel 1 in the pivoted-in state. Since the axis 4 is relatively deep, the flap 2 is in the swung-out state with its upper part so far from the front panel that the insertion slot 5 is accessible, which passes through the flap 2 from top to bottom. The outward movement is limited by a projection 10a on the upper edge of the flap 2.

Im ausgeschwenkten Zustand gemäß Fig. 1 ist der Einwurfschlitz 5 oben offen, so daß eine Münze M eingeworfen werden kann. Das untere Ende des Einwurfschlitzes 5 steht jedoch vor der hinteren Kammerwand, ist also verschlossen. Sobald eine Münze im Einwurfschlitz 5 ist, wird die Klappe in die Stellung gemäß Fig. 1 eingeschwenkt, was vorzugsweise elektromechanisch erfolgt. Damit ist der Einwurfschlitz 5 von außen unzugänglich, sein unteres Ende steht dann jedoch über einem Auslaßschlitz 6 in der unteren Kammerwand, durch den die Münze M die Klappe wieder verläßt und einer Prüfeinrichtung zugeleitet wird. Die Schwenkbewegung einwärts wird durch einen Anschlag 9a an der Unterkante der Klappe 2 begrenzt.1, the insertion slot 5 is open at the top, so that a coin M can be inserted. However, the lower end of the slot 5 is in front of the rear chamber wall, so it is closed. As soon as a coin is in the insertion slot 5, the flap is pivoted into the position according to FIG. 1, which is preferably done electromechanically. The insertion slot 5 is thus inaccessible from the outside, but its lower end then stands above an outlet slot 6 in the lower chamber wall, through which the coin M leaves the flap again and is fed to a testing device. The inward pivoting movement is limited by a stop 9a on the lower edge of the flap 2.

Um zu verhindern, daß andere Gegenstände, wie Drahtklammern, Streichhölzer oder dergleichen in den Münzprüfer gelangen, ist an der Klappe 2 eine Laufschiene 12 befestigt, auf die die Münze M beim Verlassen des Auslaßschlitzes 6 fällt (Fig. 2). Die Laufschiene 12 ist quer zur Fallrichtung geneigt, so daß die Münze M sofort wegrollt. Unrunde Gegenstände hingegen bleiben auf der Laufschiene liegen, bis die Klappe wieder auswärts geschwenkt wird (Fig. 1). Dann rutschen sie von der hochgeschwenkten Laufschiene 12 und fallen in einen Sammelbehälter (nicht gezeigt). Die Verbindung zwischen Laufschiene 12 und Klappe 2 bildet ein Steg 13, der die Rückwand der Kammer 3 durch einen Schlitz 15 durchsetzt, da er die Schwenkbewegung der Klappe mitmacht. Ferner ist neben dem Auslaßschlitz 6 eine Führungswand 14 an der unteren Kammerwand angesetzt, die einer auf der Laufschiene 12 rollenden Münze M seitliche Führung verleiht.In order to prevent other objects, such as wire clips, matches or the like from entering the coin validator, a slide rail 12 is attached to the flap 2, onto which the coin M falls when it leaves the outlet slot 6 (FIG. 2). The running rail 12 is inclined transversely to the falling direction, so that the coin M rolls away immediately. Non-round objects, however, remain on the running rail until the flap is swung out again (Fig. 1). Then they slide off the pivoted-up running rail 12 and fall into a collecting container (not shown). The connection between the running rail 12 and the flap 2 is formed by a web 13 which passes through the rear wall of the chamber 3 through a slot 15, since it follows the pivoting movement of the flap. Furthermore, in addition to the outlet slot 6, a guide wall 14 is attached to the lower chamber wall, which gives lateral guidance to a coin M rolling on the running rail 12.

In Fig. 3 und 4 ist eine andere Ausführung der Einwurfvorrichtung gezeigt, bei der die Kammer 3b im wesentlichen kreisförmigen Querschnitt hat. Die waagrechte Achse 4, um die sich die Klappe 2b dreht, liegt im Mittelpunkt des Kreises. Die Klappe 2b besteht bei dieser Ausführung aus den beiden ihren Einwurfschlitz 5 begrenzenden Wänden, deren eine die Achse enthält. An der oberen Peripherie der Klappe 2b sind nach beiden Richtungen vorspringende Segmente 9b und 10b angesetzt, die einmal als Anschläge zur Begrenzung der Schwenkbewegung dienen und deren eines außerdem den Verschluß für einen Schlitz 17 in der Frontplatte 1b der Kammer 3 bildet, wenn die Klappe 2b eingeschwenkt ist.3 and 4, another embodiment of the insertion device is shown, in which the chamber 3b has a substantially circular cross section. The horizontal axis 4, around which the flap 2b rotates, lies at the center of the circle. In this embodiment, the flap 2b consists of the two walls delimiting its insertion slot 5, one of which contains the axis. On the upper periphery of the flap 2b projecting segments 9b and 10b are attached, which serve once as stops to limit the pivoting movement and one of which also forms the closure for a slot 17 in the front plate 1b of the chamber 3 when the flap 2b is swung in.

Die Frontplatte 1b dient wiederum zur Befestigung in der Wand W des Selbstkassierers, ist jedoch im Gegensatz zur zuvor beschriebenen Anordnung geschlossen und nur mit einem Schlitz 17 zum Einführen einer Münze M versehen. Sie ragt lediglich mit diesem relativ kleinen Teil durch die Wand W des Selbstkassierers. Die Klappe 2b ist demnach in der Kammer 3b gekapselt. Auf der Rückseite ist die Kammerwand sektorförmig eingezogen. Im oberen Bereich stößt das Segment 9b auf der Klappe 2 an die Sektorwand und definiert so die eingeschwenkte Stellung der Klappe (Fig. 4). Im unteren Bereich hat die Sektorwand wiederum den Schlitz 15 für den Durchtritt des Steges 13, mit dem die Laufschiene 12 wie bei der zuvor beschriebenen Anordnung mit der Klappe 2b verbunden ist. Die Funktionsweise dieser Einwurfvorrichtung gleicht ebenfalls der der zuerst beschriebenen mit dem Unterschied, daß eine Münze M durch den Schlitz 17 in der Frontplatte 1b hindurch in den Einwurfschlitz 5 der Klappe 2b geschoben wird (Fig. 3). Dann wird die Klappe 2b geschwenkt und die Münze M fällt durch den Auslaßschlitz 6 aus der Kammer 3b auf die geneigte Laufschiene 12, auf der sie sofort, an die Führungswand 14 gelehnt, abrollt zum Münzprüfer. Unrunde Gegenstände bleiben auf der Laufschiene 12, bis diese schwenkt (Fig. 1), dann fallen sie herunter. Das Zurückschwenken der Klappe 2b wird durch das erwähnte Segment 10b begrenzt, das an einen Ansatz 16 der Kammerwand stößt.The front plate 1b in turn serves for fastening in the wall W of the self-cashier, but is, in contrast to the arrangement described above, closed and only provided with a slot 17 for inserting a coin M. It only protrudes with this relatively small part through the wall W of the self-cashier. The flap 2b is therefore encapsulated in the chamber 3b. The chamber wall is drawn in sector-shaped on the back. In the upper area, segment 9b abuts flap 2 on the sector wall and thus defines the pivoted-in position of the flap (FIG. 4). In the lower area, the sector wall in turn has the slot 15 for the passage of the web 13, with which the running rail 12 is connected to the flap 2b, as in the arrangement described above. The operation of this insertion device is also the same as that described first, with the difference that a coin M is pushed through the slot 17 in the front plate 1b into the insertion slot 5 of the flap 2b (FIG. 3). Then the flap 2b pivoted and the coin M falls through the outlet slot 6 from the chamber 3b onto the inclined running rail 12, on which it immediately leans against the guide wall 14 and rolls to the coin validator. Out-of-round objects remain on the running rail 12 until it swivels (FIG. 1), then they fall off. The pivoting back of the flap 2b is limited by the segment 10b mentioned, which abuts an extension 16 of the chamber wall.
