Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for collecting and / or preparing for the recycling of articles that are delivered to a collecting device, and a device for performing this method.
  • US-A-4492295 discloses a generic device. After returning and checking the admissibility of a container (eg metal can), a deposit is paid and the container is destroyed.
  • a container eg metal can
  • the invention is in the field of recycling materials, and thus in the field of efforts that are being made today to reduce environmental pollution.
  • the efforts consist, among other things, of separating recyclable materials from the waste generated, reprocessing them and thus preparing them for reuse.
  • a self-seller is known from US-A-1798416 which additionally offers the buyer a chance of winning to promote the sale of goods upon purchase.
  • the invention also includes an apparatus for performing the method, the task of which is to be able to carry out the method in an optimal manner.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention in that the slot machine is assigned at least one test device at a feed point, which detects the entry of an article and, after the test, delivers a signal with which the actuation of an actuation lever or switch is activated in order to grant a chance of winning .
  • the device shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is housed in a schematically illustrated housing 1 and essentially consists of a gaming machine 2, a return device 3 and a collecting container 12, which can be mobile.
  • the slot machine 2 is an embodiment which is known in many examples and is provided with an actuating lever 4 with which the slot machine 2 is started (known under the name of one-arm bandit or slot machine).
  • an electrically operated actuation can be used to avoid damage, which is triggered by an operating switch.
  • the return device 3 has an input point 5, to which a tubular line 6 connects.
  • the line 6 need not be a closed line, but can also be configured like a basket, so that any residual juice that can flow out of the articles to be processed cannot cause the articles to stick together.
  • a press 7 is provided, in which the returned articles are compressed and their volume is thereby reduced.
  • Control means 8 are arranged above the press 7 and are operated by the actuating lever 4 via a mechanical power transmission 9.
  • the mechanical power transmission 9 essentially consists of an enveloping drive 10, e.g. a toothed chain drive, and a drive shaft 11 for the control means 8 together.
  • a printer which prints out the game result.
  • This can be, for example, a voucher or a lottery ticket or the like.
  • a further collecting container 13 is installed in the collecting container 12, in which inadmissible articles ejected from an ejection window 14 in the line 6 fall.
  • 16 schematically shows a linkage between the gaming machine 2 and the return device 3, by means of which the return device 3 is triggered.
  • the device 1 according to FIG. 3 essentially differs from that according to FIGS. 1 and 2 only in that lifting magnets are used as control means.
  • the lifting magnet 17 controls the replenishment brake, the lifting magnet 18 an end stop and the lifting magnet 19 a stop and the closure to the ejection window 14. Otherwise, the same reference numerals in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 mean the same parts.
  • the part IV in FIG. 1 shown enlarged in FIGS. 4 and 5 shows the lower part of the basket-like line 6, at the end of which a press chamber 20 is arranged, the press plate 21 of which is actuated by a crank mechanism 22, 23.
  • the crankshaft 25 carries a bevel pinion 24 which meshes with a bevel gear 26.
  • a clutch 28 is arranged, which couples the drive shaft 11 of the mechanical power transmission 9 with the bevel gear shaft 27.
  • two control disks 29, 30 are rotatably mounted, see also FIG. 5.
  • the control disks 29, 30 are driven by the crankshaft 25 via an enveloping drive 31, consisting of the enveloping member 32, e.g. a toothed belt, and two belt wheels 33, 34 and a tension wheel 35 driven.
  • the control disks 29, 30 control two control levers 36, 37 which are pivotably mounted on the line 6 and are held in contact with the control disks 29, 30 by springs 38, 39.
  • a stand 40 is provided, which is composed essentially of square tubes.
  • the ejection window 14 is also provided above the pressing chamber 20. This essentially consists of two quarter-circle, basket-like pivot doors 41, the two pivot shafts 42 of which are mounted in two bearing brackets 43, the latter being fastened to the line 6.
  • the swing doors 41 are kept closed by spring force, but are opened when the weight of the article is not within certain limits.
  • the control levers 36, 37 function as follows:
  • the control lever 36 with its head 45 is a brake which prevents more than one article from entering the space above the press chamber 20.
  • the second control lever 37 with two sensor plates 46, 47 is pivoted out into the dashed position to release the article, so that the article can fall into the pressing chamber 20.
  • Some sizes of articles, for example cans 48, 49, 50, are shown schematically in the pressing chamber 20, all of which can be compressed to a small volume in the pressing chamber 20.
  • the cycle is set in motion by actuating the actuating lever 4 on the gaming machine 2.
  • the can released by the control lever 26 above the pressing chamber 20 reaches the area of the sensor plates 46, 47, is checked for its weight there, falls into the pressing chamber 20 after being released by the second control lever 37.
  • the operating lever 4 of the gaming machine can only be actuated then be when an item, e.g. a can, correctly entered in the return device 3 and thereby a lock was released.
  • the three electrically operated solenoids 17, 18, 19 control the process of entering an article into the bale chamber as follows:
  • the lifting magnet 17 with the head 45 attracts, that is, an article is clamped and the supply is thereby prevented.
  • the lifting magnet 19 then pulls back the higher-lying stop 46, so that an article lying under the clamped article is released.
  • the closure of the ejection window 14 is closed here.
  • the article can be checked for its weight. If the weight of the article is within the permissible limits, the end stop 47 is pulled back by the lifting magnet 18, so that the article can now slide into the pressing chamber 20.
  • the press plate 21 has reached the outer dead center, so that the press chamber 20 is fully open.
  • the pressing process then begins by counter-movement of the pressing plate 21 against the bottom of the pressing chamber 20. After the pressing process has ended, the three solenoids are returned to the idle state in reverse order.
  • the movement of the solenoids 17, 18, 19 corresponds to the movement of the two control levers 36, 37 in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the lower lever 37 carries both stops 46, 47. However, they are of different sizes, so that first the higher-lying stop 46, see FIG. 7, is released and only then the lower-lying stop 47.
  • the design of the ejection window 14 is the same in FIGS. 6 and 7 as in FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • the basket-like pivot doors 41 pivot about the pivot shaft 42, which are mounted in the bearing bracket 43.
  • the device shown in Fig. 8 is used for returning and collecting batteries in different sizes.
  • the device points a housing 1, which is designed as a wall box, which contains all elements of the device.
  • the return device 3 comprises several openings 52 of different sizes, according to the format of the different batteries.
  • the slot machine 2 has a number of playing rollers 53 and the actuating lever 4 and an output opening 54, through which the possible profit or a printout of the profit is output.
  • a battery test device 55 is arranged below the input openings 52 for the batteries. This device checks the batteries to see if they are still usable or discharged. If the battery can still be used, a light signal 56 lights up, whereupon the battery is released into a removal container 57, from which it can be removed again. However, if the battery is discharged, it is branched off in a collecting container 58, in which the discharged batteries are collected.
  • only a single input opening 52 can be provided for the batteries.
  • the battery test device 55 can also be dispensed with if necessary. In this case, the light signal 56 and the removal container 57 are omitted. The batteries are then all collected in the collecting container 58.
  • the operation of the device according to FIG. 8 is carried out in the same way as for the devices according to FIGS. 1 and 3.
  • the same is checked with regard to its shape and condition. If the result of the test is positive, the actuating lever 4 is activated, that is to say released for actuating the gaming machine 2.
  • the return of the item is done with a possible chance of winning in slot machine 2 coupled.
  • an operating switch can be used instead of the operating lever 4.
  • FIG. 9 another device is shown schematically, with which both batteries and cans can be collected.
  • the device is designed here as a standing box movable on rollers 59, but the device could of course also be designed as a wall box.
  • the device comprises a return device 3 and a gaming machine 2, which are accommodated in the housing 1.
  • the return device 3 has openings 52 of different sizes for returning different batteries.
  • An opening 60 is used for the return of cans.
  • Below the return opening 60 there is an ejection opening 61 through which entered articles are discharged which do not correspond to the conditions of the device in terms of shape and condition.
  • no press is provided with which the cans entered can be brought to a smaller volume, but the installation of such a press is also possible.
  • the operation of the device according to FIG. 9 takes place in the same way as for the device according to FIG. 8.
  • the article to be collected is entered into the relevant opening 52 or 60, whereupon the shape and condition of the article are checked by a testing device. If the test device determines the correctness of the article in question, the actuating lever 4 is activated. This allows the slot machine and, if necessary, the press to be operated.
