Description

La présente invention concerne un réceptacle amovible de stockage de pièces de monnaie pour machines actionnées par l'introduction de pièces de monnaie.The present invention relates to a removable receptacle for storing coins for machines activated by the introduction of coins.

Dans les machines actionnées par l'introduction de pièces de monnaie il est nécessaire de prévoir un réceptacle dans lequel les pièces de monnaie introduites pour faire fonctionner la machine sont stockées au fur et à mesure de leur introduction jusqu,à ce qu'un préposé à la maintenance de ces machines procède à la collecte des pièces ainsi stockées.In machines operated by the introduction of coins it is necessary to provide a receptacle in which the coins introduced to operate the machine are stored as they are introduced until an attendant the maintenance of these machines collects the parts thus stored.

On peut envisager deux types principaux de réceptacles selon qu'ils sont fixes par rapport à la machine ou qu'ils sont amovibles. Dans le premier cas le réceptacle est muni d'un orifice de collecte fermé en temps normal par un obturateur. Pour effectuer la collecte il suffit de déplacer l'obturateur pour dégager l'orifice de collecte. Dans le deuxième cas la collecte se fait en extrayant un réceptacle rempli de pièces de monnaie et en remplaçant celui-ci par un réceptacle vide. La présente invention concerne ce deuxième type de réceptacle.We can consider two main types of receptacles depending on whether they are fixed relative to the machine or whether they are removable. In the first case, the receptacle is provided with a collection orifice normally closed by a shutter. To collect, simply move the shutter to clear the collection orifice. In the second case, the collection is done by extracting a receptacle filled with coins and replacing it with an empty receptacle. The present invention relates to this second type of receptacle.

Un tel réceptacle doit bien sûr satisfaire à un certain nombre de conditions pour pouvoir être utilisé en toute sécurité. Il faut, lors du transport du réceptacle, que a fente qui permet l'introduction des pièces dans le réceptacle soit obturée et ne puisse plus être ouverte par le préposé à la collecte. Il faut en outre que, lorsque le réceptacle est mis en place dans le compartiment correspondant de la machine, l'opération qui permet de dégager la fente d'introduction des pièces assure également le verrouillage du réceptacle sur la machine.Such a receptacle must of course meet a number of conditions to be able to be used safely. It is necessary, during the transport of the receptacle, that a slot which allows the introduction of the parts into the receptacle is closed and can no longer be opened by the collection attendant. It is also necessary that, when the receptacle is placed in the corresponding compartment of the machine, the operation which makes it possible to clear the slot for introducing the parts also ensures the locking of the receptacle on the machine.

Un objet de l'invention est de fournir un réceptacle amovible pour pièces de monnaie qui satisfasse aux conditions spécifiées ci-dessus et qui sont d'une construction simple et robuste pour assurer la sécurité de l'utilisation du réceptacle.An object of the invention is to provide a removable coin receptacle which satisfies the conditions specified above and which are of simple and robust construction to ensure the safe use of the receptacle.

Pour atteindre ce but, le réceptacle selon l'invention comprend un boitier muni, sur une de ses parois, d'une fente d'introduction de pièces de monnaie et il se caractérise en ce que qu'il comporte en outre, montés à l'intérieur dudit réceptacle, des moyens mobiles comprenant des moyens d'obturation de ladite fente et des premiers moyens de verrouillage ; des moyens faisant saillie hors dudit réceptacle pour amener desdits moyens mobiles dans une première position dans laquelle lesdits moyens d'obturation laissent dégager ladite fente et lesdits premiers moyens de verrouillage font saillie hors dudit réceptacle pour permettre le verrouillage dudit réceptacle sur ladite machine, ou dans une deuxième position dans laquelle lesdits moyens d'obturation obturent ladite fente et lesdits premiers moyens de verrouillage ne font pas saillie hors dudit réceptacle; et un mécanisme coopérant avec lesdits moyens mobiles pour autoriser dans un premier temps le déplacement desdits moyens mobiles de ladite deuxième position à ladite première position ; puis dans un deuxième temps de ladite première position à ladite deuxième position, ledit ensemble mobile ne pouvant alors être ramené à nouveau dans ladite première position qu'après avoir exercé sur ledit mécanisme une action à l'aide de moyens à accès controlés.To achieve this object, the receptacle according to the invention comprises a box provided, on one of its walls, with a slot for introducing coins and it is characterized in that it further comprises, mounted on the inside said receptacle, mobile means comprising means for closing said slot and first locking means; means protruding from said receptacle for bringing said movable means into a first position in which said shutter means allow said slot to clear and said first locking means protrude from said receptacle to allow locking of said receptacle on said machine, or in a second position in which said shutter means close off said slot and said first locking means do not project out of said receptacle; and a mechanism cooperating with said mobile means for initially authorizing the movement of said mobile means from said second position to said first position; then in a second step from said first position to said second position, said movable assembly can then be brought back into said first position only after having exerted on said mechanism an action to using controlled access means.

On comprend qu'avec un tel réceptacle, lors de sa mise en place dans la machine, on amène l'ensemble mobile dans sa première position ce qui dégage la fente d'introduction et verrouille le réceptacle sur la machine. Pour extraire le réceptacle plein de la machine, il suffit d'amener l'ensemble mobile dans sa deuxième position, ce qui obture la fente. Après cette opération, l'ensemble mobile ne peut plus être déplacé sauf si l'on a accès à des moyens controlés, par exemple une clé, pour ouvrir le réceptacle.It is understood that with such a receptacle, when it is placed in the machine, the movable assembly is brought into its first position, which releases the insertion slot and locks the receptacle on the machine. To extract the full receptacle from the machine, it suffices to bring the mobile assembly into its second position, which closes the slot. After this operation, the mobile assembly can no longer be moved unless there is access to controlled means, for example a key, to open the receptacle.

De préférence les moyens à accès controlé consistent dans le fait que le réceptacle comprend un couvercle amovible fermé par des deuxièmes moyens de verrouillage accessibles depuis l'extérieur du réceptacle.Preferably the means with controlled access consist in the fact that the receptacle comprises a removable cover closed by second locking means accessible from outside the receptacle.

De préférence également le réceptacle amovible se caractérise en outre en ce que lesdits moyens mobiles comprennent un volet formant les moyens d'obturation de ladite fente et une tringle mobile en translation par rapport audit couvercle formant lesdits deuxièmes moyens de verrouillage, ladite tringle étant solidaire dudit volet.Preferably also the removable receptacle is further characterized in that said movable means comprise a flap forming the closing means of said slot and a rod movable in translation relative to said cover forming said second locking means, said rod being integral with said shutter.

De préférence encore ledit mécanisme comprend un verrou mobile apte à se déplacer perpendiculairement auxdits moyens mobiles et une plaque montée à pivotement sur une extrémité de ladite tringle, ladite tringle comportant un orifice dans lequel peut pénétrer ledit verrou lorsque ladite tringle est dans sa deuxième position, ladite plaque obturant ledit orifice sous l'effet d'un élément de rappel, ledit verrou étant apte à écarter ladite plaque pour pénétrer dans ledit orifice lorsque ledit ensemble mobile passe de la deuxième position à ladite première position.More preferably, said mechanism comprises a movable lock capable of moving perpendicular to said movable means and a plate pivotally mounted on one end of said rod, said rod comprising an orifice in which said lock can penetrate when said rod is in its second position, said plate closing off said orifice under the effect of a return element, said latch being able to spread said plate to enter said orifice when said movable assembly passes from the second position to said first position.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description qui suit d'un mode préféré de mise en oeuvre del'invention donné à tire d'exemple non limitatif. La description se réfère au dessin annexé sur lequel :

  • La figure 1b est une vue de gauche en élévation du réceptacle amobile ;
  • La figure 1c est une vue partielle de dessus du réceptacle amovible ;
  • Les figures 2a et 2b sont des vues de dessus partiellement en coupe qui montre l'organe d'obturation de la fente d'introduction et de verrouillage en position de fonctionnement et en position de transport du réceptacle ;

Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear more clearly on reading the description which follows of a preferred embodiment of the invention given by way of nonlimiting example. The description refers to the attached drawing in which:
  • Figure 1b is a left elevation view of the movable receptacle;
  • Figure 1c is a partial top view of the removable receptacle;
  • Figures 2 a and 2 b are top views partially in section which shows the shutter member of the insertion and locking slot in the operating position and in the transport position of the receptacle;

  • Figures 4, 5 and 6 show in top view (a) and in vertical section (b) the mechanism of Figure 3 in its three stable positions; and Figure 7 shows in horizontal section the location of the removable receptacle in the machine actuated by coins.

En se référant tout d'abord aux figures 1a à 1c on va décrire l'extérieur du réceptacle amovible. Il comprend un corps 10, de forme générale parallélèpipédique fermé à sa partie supérieure par un couvercle 12, articulé sur le corps 10 par des charnières 14. Le couvercle 12 comprend une paroi supérieure 16, un bord avant 18 et deux bords latéraux 20 et 22. Le couvercle 12 peut être maintenu en position fermée par une serrure 24 montée sur une patte 26 articulée sur le bord avant 18 du couvercle 12. La serrure 24 peut etre actionnée par une clé 28. Pour la commodité de son transport le réceptacle de stockage est muni d'une anse 30.Referring firstly to Figures 1 a to 1 c we will describe the outside of the removable receptacle. It comprises a body 10, of generally parallelepipedal shape closed at its upper part by a cover 12, articulated on the body 10 by hinges 14. The cover 12 comprises an upper wall 16, a front edge 18 and two lateral edges 20 and 22 The cover 12 can be held in the closed position by a lock 24 mounted on a tab 26 articulated on the front edge 18 of the cover 12. The lock 24 can be actuated by a key 28. For the convenience of its transport, the storage receptacle is provided with a handle 30.

Comme on le voit sur la figure 1c la paroi supérieure 16 du couvercle 12 est munie d'une fente 32. Lorsque le réceptacle est mis en place dans la machine actionnée par l'introduction de pièces, les pièces acceptées pénétrent dans le réceptacle par la fente 32.As can be seen in FIG. 1c, the upper wall 16 of the cover 12 is provided with a slot 32. When the receptacle is put into place in the machine actuated by the introduction of coins, the accepted coins enter the receptacle through the slot 32.

En se référant maintenant aux figures 2a et 2b on va décrire les organes qui permettent d'obturer la fente 32 d'introduction et de verrouiller le réceptacle sur la machine. Ces organes comprennent une tringle 34, à section droite rectangulaire qui est montée sur la face interne de la paroi supérieure 16 du couvercle 12. La tringle 34 peut se déplacer en translation selon l'axe XX′ et elle est guidée par des pièces en forme de U, 36 et 38 solidaires du couvercle 12. Ces organes comprennent également un volet 40 solidaire en translation de la tringle 34 et un bouton de commande 42 solidaire en translation de la tringle 34 qui traverse le bord avant 18 du couvercle par une fente longitudinale 44.Referring now to Figures 2 a and 2 b we will describe the members which allow to close the slot 32 for introduction and to lock the receptacle on the machine. These members include a rod 34, of rectangular cross section which is mounted on the internal face of the upper wall 16 of the cover 12. The rod 34 can move in translation along the axis XX ′ and it is guided by shaped parts. of U, 36 and 38 integral with the cover 12. These members also include a flap 40 integral in translation with the rod 34 and a control button 42 integral in translation with the rod 34 which passes through the front edge 18 of the lid by a longitudinal slot 44.

A l'aide du bouton 42 on peut déplacer la tringle 34, et donc le volet 40, entre une première position dite de transport, représentée sur la figure 2a, dans laquelle le volet 40 obture la fente 32 et l'extrémité 46 de la tringle 34 est à l'intérieur du couvercle 12, et une deuxième position dite de service, représentée sur la figure 2b, dans laquelle le volet 40 dégage entièrement la fente 32 et l'extrémité 46 de la tringle 34 fait saillie hors du couvercle 12 en traversant un orifice 48 ménagé dans le bord latéral 22 du couvercle.Using the button 42, the rod 34, and therefore the flap 40, can be moved between a first so-called transport position, shown in FIG. 2a, in which the flap 40 closes the slot 32 and the end 46 of the rod 34 is inside the cover 12, and a second so-called service position, shown in FIG. 2b, in which the flap 40 fully releases the slot 32 and the end 46 of the rod 34 protrudes from the cover 12 passing through an orifice 48 formed in the lateral edge 22 of the cover.

Pour permettre ou interdire le déplacement de la tringle 34 et du volet 40 de la position de service à la position de transport ou le déplacement inverse, la deuxième extrémité 50 de la tringle 34 coopére avec un mécanisme 52 monté en partie sur la face interne de la paroi supérieure 16 du couvercle 12 et en partie sur l'extrémité 50 elle-même.To allow or prohibit the displacement of the rod 34 and the flap 40 from the service position to the transport position or the reverse movement, the second end 50 of the rod 34 cooperates with a mechanism 52 partially mounted on the internal face of the upper wall 16 of the cover 12 and partly on the end 50 itself.

En se référant aux figures 3 à 6 on va décrire plus en détails le mécanisme 52. Il comprend essentiellement une tige 54 ou verrou de longueur réduite qui peut se déplacer selon une direction Y, Y′ orthogonale au plan de la paroi supérieure 16 du couvercle. La tige 54 est guidée par une pièce 56 solidaire du couvercle. Un ressort de rappel 58 tend à rapprocher du couvercle 16 l'extrémité 54a de la tige 54. Le mécanisme 52 comprend également une lame mobile 60 montée pivotante autour de l'axe 62 solidaire de la tringle 34. Au voisinage de son extrémité 50, la tringle 34 comporte un trou oblond 64, dont les dimensions sont suffisantes pour permettre à l'extrémité 54a de la tige 54 d'y pénétrer. La lame 60 est munie d'un bord 66 qui vient en butée contre le flanc 34a de la tringle 34 sous l'effet d'une lame ressort de rappel 68.Referring to Figures 3 to 6 we will describe in more detail the mechanism 52. It essentially comprises a rod 54 or bolt of reduced length which can move in a direction Y, Y ′ orthogonal to the plane of the upper wall 16 of the cover . The rod 54 is guided by a part 56 integral with the cover. A return spring 58 tends to bring the end 16 a of the rod 54 closer to the cover 54. The mechanism 52 also includes a movable blade 60 pivotally mounted around the axis 62 integral with the rod 34. In the vicinity of its end 50 , the rod 34 comprises a oblond hole 64, whose dimensions are sufficient to enable the end 54 a of the rod 54 from entering. The blade 60 is provided with an edge 66 which abuts against the sidewall 34 a of the rod 34 under the effect of a return spring blade 68.

Ainsi, au repos, la lame 60 recouvre complètement le trou 64 comme on le voit sur la fig.3 et sur les figures 4b et 4b. l'extrémité de la tringle 34 est beseautée en 70 de telle manière que la partie biseautée 70 serve de rampe pour la tige 54. De même, comme le montre les figures 4a, 5a et 6a l'extrémité libre de la lame 60 est également biseautée en 72.Thus, at rest, the blade 60 completely covers the hole 64 as seen in fig.3 and in Figures 4b and 4b. the end of the rod 34 is nested at 70 so that the bevelled part 70 serves as a ramp for the rod 54. Similarly, as shown in Figures 4a, 5a and 6a the free end of the blade 60 is also bevelled in 72.

Comme le montre les figures 2a, 2b et la figure 1a, le bouton 42 qui permet de déplacer la tringle 34 est monté sur la tringle 34 par l'intermédiaire d'un ressort de rappel 76. La tige 78 du bouton 42 comporte une portion de diamètre plus important 80. La fente 44 dans laquelle se déplace la tige 78 du bouton 42 comporte à ses deux extrémités des perçages circulaires 82 et 84 dans lesquels peut se loger la partie 80 de la tige 78 du bouton 42. Ainsi lorsque le bouton 42 est dans une de ses deux positions extrèmes représentées sur les figures 2a et 2b, le bouton 42 et donc la tringle 34 ne peuvent pas de déplacer librement sous l'effet d'un choc ou de toute autre actionnement accidentel.As shown in Figures 2a, 2b and Figure 1a, the button 42 which moves the rod 34 is mounted on the rod 34 by means of a return spring 76. The rod 78 of the button 42 has a portion of larger diameter 80. The slot 44 in which the rod 78 of the button 42 moves has at its two ends circular holes 82 and 84 in which the part 80 of the rod 78 of the button 42 can be accommodated. Thus when the button 42 is in one of its two extreme positions shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b, the button 42 and therefore the rod 34 cannot move freely under the effect of an impact or any other accidental actuation.

En se référant aux figures 2a, 5a et 6a on va décrire l'utilisation du réceptacle amovible pour pièces de monnaie.Referring to Figures 2a, 5a and 6a will be described using the removable receptacle for coins.

Lorsque le réceptacle est vide et hors de la machine dans laquelle il doit être placé, la tringle 34 est dans la position de transport représentée sur la figure 2a et le mécanisme 52 est dans l'état représenté sur les figures 4a et 4b.When the receptacle is empty and out of the machine in which it is to be placed, the rod 34 is in the transport position shown in Figure 2a and the mechanism 52 is in the state shown in Figures 4a and 4b.

En d'autres termes le volet 40 obture la fente 32 et l'extrémité 46 de la tringle 34 est à l'intérieur du réceptacle. En ce qui concerne le mécanisme 52 il est dans la position suivante. La lame 60 recouvre le trou 64 et l'extrémité 54a de la tige 54 est en appui sur la lame 60 sous l'effet de son ressort de rappel 58. La tringle 34 n'est donc immobilisée en translation que par la coopération de la partie 80 du bouton 42 avec le perçage 82.In other words, the flap 40 closes the slot 32 and the end 46 of the rod 34 is inside the receptacle. Regarding the mechanism 52 it is in the following position. The blade 60 covers the hole 64 and the end 54 a of the rod 54 is supported on the blade 60 under the effect of its return spring 58. The rod 34 is therefore immobilized in translation only by the cooperation of the part 80 of the button 42 with the hole 82.

Lorsqu,on veut mettre le réceptacle en place dans la machine, il faut l'introduire dans le logement ad'hoc de la machine, tirer sur la tête du bouton 42 et amener celui-ci en regard du deuxième perçage 84 (fig 2b). Dans cette position la fente 32 n'est plus obturée par le volet 40 et l'extrémité 46 de la tringle 34 fait saillie hors du réceptacle et pénètre dans un logement 100 de la machine. Il est donc impossible d'extraire le réceptacle de la machine sans actionner à nouveau le bouton 42. Pour ce qui est du mécanisme 52, il est dans l'état représenté sur les figures 5a et 5b. Du fait du retrait de l'extrémité 50 de la tringle 34, la tige 54 est repoussée vers la paroi 16 du couvercle 12 sous l'effet de son ressort de rappel 58. Dans cette situation la tringle 34 n'est immobilisée que par la coopération de la partie 80 du bouton 42 avec le perçage 84.When you want to put the receptacle in place in the machine, you must introduce it into the ad hoc housing of the machine, pull the head of the button 42 and bring it opposite the second hole 84 (fig 2b) . In this position the slot 32 is no longer closed by the flap 40 and the end 46 of the rod 34 projects from the receptacle and enters a housing 100 of the machine. It is therefore impossible to extract the receptacle from the machine without actuating the button 42 again. As for the mechanism 52, it is in the state shown in FIGS. 5a and 5b. Due to the withdrawal of the end 50 of the rod 34, the rod 54 is pushed towards the wall 16 of the cover 12 under the effect of its return spring 58. In this situation the rod 34 is immobilized only by the cooperation of the part 80 of the button 42 with the hole 84.

Si maintenant on veut extraire de la machine le réceptacle rempli de pièces de monnaie il faut tirer le bouton 42 et l'amener dans le perçage 82. Le volet 40 obture alors la fente 32 et l'extrémité 46 de la tringle 34 ne fait plus saillie hors du réceptacle.If now we want to extract from the machine the receptacle filled with coins, we must pull the button 42 and bring it into the hole 82. The flap 40 then closes the slot 32 and the end 46 of the rod 34 no longer does protruding from the receptacle.

En se référant aux figures 6a et 6b on a décrire les mouvements correspondants du mécanisme 52.Referring to FIGS. 6a and 6b, the corresponding movements of the mechanism 52 have been described.

Sous l'effet du déplacement vers la gauche de la tringle 34, l'extrémité inférieure 54a de la tige 54 entre en contact avec la partie biseautée 70 de la tringle ce qui provoque le déplacement vertical de la tige 54 qui comprime le ressort de rappel 58. Lorsque l'extrémité 54 a de la tige 54 arrive en appui sur la face 34b de la tringle 34 sur laquelle est montée la lame 60, en raison de la poursuite du déplacement de la tringle 34 vers la gauche, l'extrémité 54a entre en contact avec l'extrémité biseautée 72 de la lame 60 et tend à faire pivoter selon la flêche f la lame 60 au tour de son axe 62 en comprimant le ressort de rappel 68. Le trou 64 est donc dégagé petit à petit jusqu,à ce que l'extrémité 54a de la tige 54 puisse pénétrer dans le trou 64, ce qui correspond à la fin de la course de la tringle 34.Under the effect of the displacement to the left of the rod 34, the lower end 54 a of the rod 54 comes into contact with the bevelled part 70 of the rod which causes the vertical displacement of the rod 54 which compresses the spring of reminder 58. When the end 54 a of the rod 54 comes to bear on the face 34b of the rod 34 on which the blade 60 is mounted, due to the continued displacement of the rod 34 to the left, the end 54 a comes into contact with the beveled end 72 of the blade 60 and tends to pivot according to the arrow f the blade 60 around its axis 62 by compressing the return spring 68. The hole 64 is therefore gradually released until the end 54 a of the rod 54 can penetrate the hole 64, which corresponds to the end of the rod stroke 34.

Dans cette position la tringle 34 est donc verrouillée par la coopération de la tige 54 avec le trou 64. Il est alors impossible d'agir sur le bouton 42 pour tenter de dégager à nouveau la fente 32.In this position, the rod 34 is therefore locked by the cooperation of the rod 54 with the hole 64. It is then impossible to act on the button 42 in an attempt to disengage the slot 32 again.

Pour enlever les pièces de monnaie du réceptacle, il est nécessaire de disposer de la clé 26 pour ouvrir le couvercle 12.To remove the coins from the receptacle, it is necessary to have the key 26 to open the cover 12.

Pour ramener le mécanisme 52 dans sa position initiale représentée sur la figures 4a et 4b, il suffit d'écarter manuellement la tige 54 qui comprime le ressort de rappel 58. La lame 60 n'est plus bloquée par la tige 54 et elle revient dans sa position de repos sous l'effet de ressort de rappel 68. Le trou 64 est donc à nouveau recouvert par la lame 60. Lorsqu'on relache la tige 54, son extrémité revient en butée sur la lame 60 comme cela est représenté sur la figure 4a.To return the mechanism 52 to its initial position shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b, it suffices to manually move aside the rod 54 which compresses the return spring 58. The blade 60 is no longer blocked by the rod 54 and it returns in its rest position under the effect of return spring 68. The hole 64 is therefore again covered by the blade 60. When the rod 54 is released, its end abuts on the blade 60 as shown in the figure 4 a .

La figure 7 montre, sous une forme simplifiée, un exemple d'implantation du réceptacle 8 des figures 1 à 5, dans une machine actionnée par l'introduction de pièces de monnaie. Le réceptacle 8 est placé dans un logeme 101 limité par les parois 102, 104 et 106 et fermé par une porte 108. La paroi 102 est muni d'un évidement 110 dans lequel peut pénétrer l'extrémité 46 de la tringle 34. Lorsque celle-ci est en position de service. La porte 108 comporte sur sa face interne une pièce fixe 112 munie d'un évidement 114. L'évidement 114 est disposé de telle manière que, lorsque le bouton de manoeuvre 42 est dans sa position de service (figure 2b), la tête du bouton 42 peut y pénétrer et qu'au contraire, lors le bouton est dans son autre position (figure 2a), la pièce 112 vient en butée contre la tête du bouton 42.FIG. 7 shows, in a simplified form, an example of installation of the receptacle 8 of FIGS. 1 to 5, in a machine actuated by the introduction of coins. The receptacle 8 is placed in a housing 101 limited by the walls 102, 104 and 106 and closed by a door 108. The wall 102 is provided with a recess 110 into which the end 46 of the rod 34 can penetrate. When that -this is in the service position. The door 108 has on its internal face a fixed part 112 provided with a recess 114. The recess 114 is arranged in such a way that, when the operating button 42 is in its operating position (FIG. 2b), the head of the button 42 can enter it and that, on the contrary, when the button is in its other position (FIG. 2 a ), the part 112 abuts against the head of the button 42.

Il en résulte que la porte 108 de la machine ne peut être refermée que si le bouton 42 est dans sa position de service, c'est à dire que la fente 32 est dégagée et le réceptacle 8 verrouillé sur la machine.As a result, the door 108 of the machine can only be closed if the button 42 is in its operating position, that is to say that the slot 32 is released and the receptacle 8 locked on the machine.

Il va de soi que la fente d'introduction 32 pourrait être disposée dans une autre paroi du réceptacle que le couvercle, par exemple le fond.It goes without saying that the insertion slot 32 could be arranged in another wall of the receptacle than the cover, for example the bottom.

Dans les exemples décrits précédemment, le réceptacle peut être vidé des pièces qu'il contient grâce à un couvercle qui est fermé par une serrure. Pour extraire les pièces il est donc nécessaire de détenir la clé correspondant à la serrure. Il est donc également nécessaire de détenir cette clé pour réarmer le mécanisme 52.In the examples described above, the receptacle can be emptied of the parts it contains thanks to a cover which is closed by a lock. To extract the coins it is therefore necessary to hold the key corresponding to the lock. It is therefore also necessary to hold this key to reset the mechanism 52.

Selon une autre variante de réalisation du réceptacle, celui-ci ne comporte pas de couvercle et l'extraction des pièces se fait par la fente d'introduction 32. Pour faciliter le guidage des pièces vers la fente lors de l'extraction, une trémis dirigée vers cette fente est montée à l'intérieure du réceptacle. Le réceptacle comprend toujours l'ensemble mobile 34,40 et le mécanisme 52. Pour permettre le réarmage du mécanisme 52, c'est à dire pour ramener latige 54 et la plaque 60 dans leurs positions représentées les figures 4a et 4b, l'extrémité libre de la tige 54 coopère avec un ensemble mécanique présentant un organe de maneouvre faisant saillie hors du réceptacle. En agissant temporairement sur cet organe de manoeuvre on écarte temporairement la tige 54 de la tringle 32 de telle manière que la lame 60 puisse revenir à sa position de repos et que l'extrémité 54a de la tige 54 revienne en appuie sur la lame 60. De plus l'organe de manoeuvre ne peut être actionné que si, par exemple , on dispose d'une clé. On comprend que dans ce cas encore l'accès aux pièces de monnaie et le réarmement du mécanisme 52 ne sont possibles que si l'on dispose d'un moyen d'accès controlé, par exemple une clé.According to another alternative embodiment of the receptacle, it does not have a cover and the extraction of the parts is done by the insertion slot 32. To facilitate guiding the parts towards the slot during extraction, a hopper directed towards this slot is mounted inside the receptacle. The receptacle always comprises the movable assembly 34.40 and the mechanism 52. To allow the mechanism 52 to be reset, that is to say to bring the rod 54 and the plate 60 back to their positions shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b, the end free of the rod 54 cooperates with a mechanical assembly having a operating member projecting from the receptacle. By acting temporarily on this operating member, the rod 54 is temporarily moved aside from the rod 32 so that the blade 60 can return to its rest position and the end 54a of the rod 54 comes to rest on the blade 60. In addition, the operating member does not can only be activated if, for example, a key is available. It is understood that in this case again access to the coins and the rearming of the mechanism 52 are only possible if there is a controlled means of access, for example a key.
