Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system for emptying, into a collecting container, a coin receiving apparatus.
- the invention applies to all devices which require the introduction of coins and therefore a periodic emptying of their contents.
- the invention applies to toll kiosks for paid parking lots.
- any container can be used by the agent responsible for collecting the money introduced into such devices. All they need is a key to unlock a hatch giving access to the body of the device.
- Document US-A-4 730 117 describes a system in which a collection box 16 can be introduced into a compartment 18 of an apparatus 10 in order to collect the funds from a case 14 of this apparatus. To do this, the collection box 16 is introduced, by means of suitable security measures, and by a duly authorized person into the compartment 18. The collection box 16 is further provided with an emitter which generates a series of 'coded pulses used to identify the body. The apparatus 10 is provided with a receiver 24 which receives these pulses and decodes them so as to identify the cash register and the identification number is put in memory.
- the present invention aims to provide greater security to the operation of collecting money in such devices.
- the subject of the invention is therefore a system for emptying, into a collecting container of a coin-receiving appliance, said appliance comprising a box comprising at its lower end a drainage opening, said collecting container being provided with a coded identifier body identifying the container collector, said apparatus comprising a reader suitable for said member and connected to an electronic circuit for processing and decoding, characterized in that said drain opening is provided with a hatch, said electronic circuit further comprising a control function providing, if the coded identifier member is recognized as valid, an order to unlock said hatch, and in that said collecting container comprises at its upper end a collection head carrying said coded identifier member and comprising a fixing member making it possible to introduce it into additional means for fixing said device under said body.
- the receiving device comprises a means of introducing a personal code, specific to the collecting agent, connected to said electronic circuit which provides the unlocking order for said hatch only if the personal code is recognized as valid.
- the coded identifier member identifying the collecting container may be of any kind: for example, it may be a mechanical code such as a key produced on the fixing member of the head. collection, the appropriate reader of which is constituted by a complementary key located on the complementary fixing means belonging to the device. The actuation of said additional key, during the introduction of an approved collecting container having the correct coding key, triggers contacts belonging to a circuit connected to said electronic circuit.
- the coded identifying member can also be a label carrying magnetic coding, the appropriate reader is then a magnetic read head. It can also be a label carrying an optically read code. It is also possible to use a coded transponder, the device comprising a microwave transmitter. It is also possible to use an encoded electronic "chip", the device carrying elastic flexible contacts ensuring the electrical connection with the "chip” during the introduction of the collection head. Any other coding system can of course be used.
- the identification of the collecting container thus allows the management system of the receiving device to recognize the presence of the unloading object.
- Security is further increased when the apparatus further comprises, as has been said above, a means of entering a personal code which must be provided by the collecting agent to enable the hatch to be unlocked.
- the attached single figure schematically represents a system according to the invention.
- a collecting container is partially shown in order to periodically collect the money introduced into the box 1.
- the box 1 has at its upper end a collecting head 4 which can be introduced into grooves 5 and 6 of the device 2, under the bottom of the box 1 which has a drain opening 7.
- the collecting container 3 has been shown in thin dashed lines in its position fixed to the device 2 under the body 1.
- the drain opening 7 is normally closed by a hatch 8 pierced with an opening 9.
- the hatch 8 has a mechanical lock, not shown, which is released by the collecting agent when it empties the box 1.
- the hatch 8 has a lock 10 which enters a hole 11 of the hatch 8 and which is unlocked only by the recognition by a processing member 12, comprising decoding, processing and control circuits, of an identification code 13 carried by the collection head 4 and read by a reader 14 secured to the device 2.
- the processing unit 12 If the identification code 13 is recognized by the processing unit 12, it emits a signal controlling a relay 15 actuating a switch 16 closing an electrical circuit supplied with 17 and comprising an electromagnet 18 actuating the latch 10.
- the operator can, by a handle known per se and not shown, open the hatch thus allowing the body 1 to be emptied into the collecting container 3.
- unlocking the lock 10 can also be subject to the introduction by the collecting agent of a personal identification code.
- the device comprises a means 19 for entering its personal code, this means 19 being, for example, constituted by an alpha-numeric keyboard.
- This means 19 is of course connected to the processing member 12.
- the reader 13 is an optical reader, but, as has been said above, the coding means 13 and its complementary reading means 14 can be chosen from among the many known means.
