Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coin cassette of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1, as is used in particular in coin operated machines for telephone stations and other service machines.
  • coin cassettes The purpose of these coin cassettes is to accept coins collected from a coin machine. They should be easy to replace and serve as transport containers for the coins. So that the coins do not fall out of the coin cassette or can be removed without authorization, the coin cassette has a lockable entry opening. A closure piece automatically closes the entry opening when the coin cassette is removed from the coin machine and locks in this position. The coin cassette with a locked lock can only be pushed back into the coin-operated machine after the lock piece has been properly emptied and unlocked. Since the closure and locking of the coin cassette are driven purely mechanically, the entry openings are narrow and adapted to the occasional coins.
  • Such a coin cassette describes e.g. B. the patent specification CH-PS 643 962.
  • the invention has for its object to provide such a coin cassette, which is characterized by a wide inlet opening, a simplified mechanism and great operational reliability.
  • a handle 3 makes it easier to insert and remove the coin cassette from a housing 4 of a coin-operated machine 5 that is open on one side and adapted to the coin cassette, and to transport the coin cassette Coin box.
  • the housing 4 is advantageously designed so that the insertion of the coin cassette can be done by horizontally pushing the handle 3 in a direction indicated by an arrow 3 '. The removal takes place by pulling the handle 3 opposite to the direction 3 '.
  • the container 1 and the lid 2 are connected to a movable connecting element, a hinge 6, which, like the handle 3, is advantageously located on the front side of the coin cassette which is not covered by the housing 4.
  • a ring 7 is attached to the outside of the container 1 and the lid 2 in the immediate vicinity. They are used to seal the coin cassette with a seal. Instead of the rings 7, a more complex clasp with a security lock or a combination of both measures is also conceivable.
  • the coin cassette has an inlet opening 8, which is located directly below a coin chute 9 in the coin cassette used in the housing 4.
  • the coin cassette can be closed from the inside by means of a closure piece which is movable in front of the inlet opening 8 and is designed as a flap 10. Outside the coin cassette is on a top 11 of the lid 2 between a protective housing 12 is attached to the inlet opening 8 and to the front of the coin cassette, which has the handle 3.
  • the protective housing 12 is open towards the coin chute 9 and contains a sleeve 13 which can be displaced therein in the direction 3 'or opposite thereto it can receive an eyelet 14 which is mounted in the housing 4 on a wall of the coin drop shaft 9 facing the protective housing 12.
  • the eyelet 14 When the coin cassette is inserted, the eyelet 14 is located in the protective housing 12, with a rotatably mounted on the sleeve 13, in the direction 3 'directed hook 15 is suspended in the eyelet 14.
  • a parallel to the surface 11 roof of the protective housing 12 has a z.
  • the next to the coin chute 9 edge of the recess 12 ' is designed in the direction 3' rising obliquely as a wedge-shaped scraper 12 '.
  • the sleeve 13 has on the upper side facing the eyelet 14 a projecting carrier 13 'for the hook 15 and a recess in the wall of the sleeve 13 to receive a tension spring 16 acting between the hook 15 and the sleeve 13.
  • the tension spring 16 brings the hook 15 into a favorable position for hanging in the eyelet 14.
  • the hook 15 is designed such that it runs onto the eyelet 14 when the coin cassette is inserted into the housing 4.
  • the hook 15 slips over the eyelet 14 and hangs into it.
  • the hook 15 runs on the stripper 12' and lifts the hook 15 from the eyelet 14th
  • the sleeve 13 contains an inner relative to it in or opposite to the direction 3 'insert 17.
  • a compression spring 18 within the sleeve 13 presses the insert 17 to a limit of the displacement, in the direction 3' facing end of the sleeve 13th .
  • An arm 17 'of the insert 17 protrudes through three superimposed arm openings 19, one of which is in the sleeve 13, in the protective housing 12 and in the top 11, into the coin cassette.
  • the arm openings 19 are dimensioned such that the arm 17 'is not hindered in its movement.
  • the arm 17 ' is angled inside the coin cassette in the direction 3' towards the inlet opening 8.
  • a cuboidal bend 20 of the arm 17 ' carries on the side facing away from the hinge 6 a slide 20' and on the underside facing the container 1 a pawl 21 which ends at the end facing the hinge 6 in a detent 22.
  • At least one pawl 24 which is rotatable about an axis of rotation 23 arranged parallel to the hinge 6 is mounted in the container 1 in such a way that the pawl 24 pretensioned with a tension spring 25 is pressed onto the pawl track 21 or into the catch 22 when the coin cassette is closed.
  • a locking mechanism of the flap 10 which has the elements fastened in the lid 2, namely the latch track 21 and the catch 22, and the associated latch 24 of the container 1 limited in its movement, enables the flap 10 to be reliably locked when the lid 2 and 2 are closed a simple, automatic and safe unlocking of the flap 10 when the cover 2 is lifted off. This arrangement of the locking mechanism brings about great operational reliability of the coin cassette even when it is operated by an inexperienced person.
  • the flap 10 is rotatably mounted on the axis 26, in an end position, the flap 10 completely covers the inlet opening 8 from the inside of the coin cassette. In the other end position, the flap 10 is folded away about the axis 26 into the interior of the coin cassette and, as shown in FIG. 1, opens the entry opening 8.
  • a lever mechanism transmits movements of the arm 17 'or the insert 17 to the flap 10.
  • the lever mechanism consists of a lever 27 and the arm 17' with the offset 20.
  • the lever 27 sits on the axis 26th and is rigidly connected to the side of the flap 10 facing the inside of the coin cassette.
  • the lever ratios are designed so that the movement of the arm 17 'is sufficient to rotate the flap 10 between the two end positions. Rotation angles of the flap 10 in the range of 60 ° and 90 ° are advantageous.
  • the lever 27 is supported with a support finger, which is formed, for example, as a roller bearing 28 arranged parallel to the axis 26, on the slideway 20 'of the offset 20.
  • a return spring 29, which is spanned between the inside of the cover 2 and the lever 27 parallel to the direction 3 ', causes a positive rolling of the rolling bearing 28 on the slide 20' when the arm 17 'moves back and forth.
  • the pawl 24 is placed on the pawl lane 21.
  • the coin cassette is closed by means of the clasp and sealed on the rings 7. In this state, it can be pushed completely into the housing 4 and is thus ready for use.
  • the return spring 29 must compensate for acceleration forces which act on the sleeve 13, on the insert 17, on the lever 27 and on the flap 10 when handling the coin cassette.
  • the flap 10 can slam unintentionally, the pawl 24 snapping into the catch 22 and locking the entry opening 8 blocked by the flap 10. It is therefore advantageous to arrange a means (not shown here) damping the movement of the flap 10 parallel to the return spring 29, such as. B. a hydraulic shock absorber.
  • the eyelet 14 penetrates into the sufficiently large protective housing 12. As soon as the hook 15 is in contact with the eyelet 14, it is raised. When the working position of the coin cassette is reached, the hook 15 snaps into the eyelet 14 under the action of the tension spring 16.
  • the coin cassette is now ready to accept coins in the coin machine 5.
  • FIG. 2 shows the upper part of the coin cassette in section at the moment the latch 24 snaps into place.
  • the sleeve 13 Since the coin cassette on the handle 3 is pulled out further and the insert 17 has already reached its end position, the sleeve 13 now moves against the insert 17 and compresses the compression spring 18. The hook 15 hits the stripper 12ifer, is thereby lifted and out the eyelet 14 unhooked. Under the action of the compression spring 18, the sleeve 13 snaps back to the direction 3 'back into the protective housing 12, the hook 15 slipping off the stripper 12 ⁇ and aligned by the tension spring 16 parallel to the sleeve 13.
  • the coin cassette can now be completely pulled out of the housing 4. Since the inlet opening 8 is securely closed, no coins are lost on the way to an office.
  • the sleeve 13 Since a return of the sleeve 13 is limited by the insert 17, the sleeve 13 does not reach its rest position in the protective housing 12, but is by a certain amount by the locking of the arm 17 ', for. B. shifted by 1.5 cm in the direction 3 '. The coin cassette is therefore no longer fully retractable into the housing 4, since the eyelet 14 is present on the protruding carrier 13 '.
  • the closure piece is designed as a sliding door 31 (FIG. 3).
  • the sliding door 31 is shown in that end position in which the inlet opening 8 is fully open.
  • the sliding door 31 is supported on the inside of the cover 2 in grooves 32 and is in a plane parallel to the inside of the cover 2 in the direction 3 '.
  • the grooves 32 advantageously guide the sliding door 31 also in the area of the inlet opening 8.
  • the lever mechanism in this embodiment consists of the arm 17 'and a toggle lever 33.
  • the toggle lever 33 connects the sliding door 31 to the cover 2, one leg 34 with the Cover 2 and the other leg 35 is hinged to the sliding door 31.
  • the back Holfeder 29 pulls the two legs 34, 35 of the toggle lever 33 together at a knee 36 to an acute angle when the cover 2 of the coin cassette is opened or the coin cassette is ready to accept coins.
  • the sliding door 31 is withdrawn from the inlet opening 8. In this arrangement, too, means for damping movements of the sliding door 31 are advantageous.
  • the leg 34 Under the action of the return spring 29, the leg 34 is supported with a sliding surface 37 on the arm 17 '. Any movement of the arm 17 'is therefore transmitted directly to the toggle lever 33.
  • the sliding surface 37 has a predetermined curve in order to translate the small distance covered by the arm 17 'as effectively as possible by means of the toggle lever 33 into the large distance required for the sliding door 31.
  • the two grooves 32 are advantageously connected on an edge of the inlet opening 8 facing the rear of the coin cassette with a transverse groove 38 open in the direction of the sliding door 31 such that the front edge of the closed sliding door 31 engages in the transverse groove 38.
  • FIG. 1 The other parts shown in FIG. 1, such as the container 1, the pawl 24, the protective housing 12, the sleeve 13, the insert 17, the hook 15, etc., have the design of the cover 2 with the sliding door 31 (FIG. 3 ) the same functions.
  • the catch 22 and the latch track 21 are arranged directly on the sliding door 31 at a suitable point.
  • a rear edge of the sliding door 31 is advantageously designed as a catch 22.
  • the arm 17 ′ moves in the direction 3 ′ against the inlet opening 8.
  • a front edge of the sliding door 31 advantageously penetrates into the transverse groove 38. Since the lid 2 is placed on the container 1 (FIG. 4), the pawl 24 also slides on the pawl track 21 up to the rear edge of the sliding door 31 and engages in the rear edge of the sliding door 31 serving as detent 22.
  • the coin cassette has the cross section shown in the drawing, only a front corner being shown instead of the protective housing 12.
  • the pawl 24 is designed, for example, as a spring-loaded pin which is mounted in a spring sleeve 39 and is secured against rotation.
  • the spring sleeve 39 which is only partially drawn, is part of the container 1.
  • the catch 22 (FIG. 1) and the latch track 21 of the locking mechanism of the sliding door 31 are also arranged on the offset 20.
  • the elements of the locking mechanism are arranged such that the axis of rotation 23 (FIG. 1) is aligned vertically to the bottom of the container 1.
  • the pawl 24 is shaped such that it is rotated about the axis of rotation 23 against the force of the tension spring 25 when the cover 2 is closed and is lifted onto the pawl track 21.
  • the cross-sectional shape of the coin chute 9 defines the size, the position and the shape of the inlet opening 8 on the cover 2. Since the protective housing 12 occupies at most half of the surface 11, practically the entire remaining part of the surface 11 is available for the inlet opening 8. A rectangle is shown in FIG. 3 as an example of a possible shape of the inlet opening 8.
  • the lever ratios used in these versions of the coin box in the lever mechanism enable the locking piece to be moved safely between its two end positions even with a large entry opening 8.
  • a maximum proportion of the cover 2 is therefore advantageously provided for the entry opening 8, since a large number of coins from one does not exist here Intermediate memories shown, but often used in coin-operated machines, can fall into the coin cassette practically simultaneously through the coin drop shaft 9 (FIG. 1) without special orientation or separation.
