    • G07D9/002—Coin holding devices

Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for counting, checking and packaging, per unit of account, tokens, coins and other flat elements of the same shape and the same dimensions.
  • a counting problem often accompanied by a packaging problem, also arises for certain tokens or plates issued in return for the payment of a sum of money, or, more simply still, after the games of table games comprising a large number of tokens or pawns: some games have more than a hundred having the same shape, the same dimensions and the same appearance.
  • a charger tube is already known for selecting, storing, counting and transporting coins corresponding to the preamble of claim 1 (French patent n ° 1,478,594.
  • This tube of square external section comprises longitudinally, on two opposite sides, respectively a groove and a rib of the same width and the same height allowing the nesting of several loading tubes of a same row, so that they can join laterally; the longitudinal groove opens out inside the tube in order to facilitate the visibility and the extraction of the parts; such a device requires, for its use, to be oriented towards the side of its longitudinal groove both for controlling its content and for grouping it with others.
  • said device taking into account the extra thicknesses existing in the corners, said device is ill-suited to being produced by injection molding in a plastic material, and that the closure plug which it comprises is not sufficiently secured. of the tube, which introduces risks of inadvertent opening, by inertia effect, during somewhat abrupt handling of the full tubes.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks.
  • the invention as characterized in the claims, solves the problem of creating a transparent packaging device, with color mark if necessary, comprising several means for controlling the number of elements, excluding unit counting and a means of temporarily securing the plug opposing the untimely extraction thereof.
  • the device essentially consisting of a transparent case open at one of its ends matching, transversely, the shape and the dimensions on the field of the elements, and, longitudinally, the height of a stack of one predetermined amount of items; said case, closing by means of a stopper, is mainly characterized in that the transparent case has, on its sides, a mark, corresponding to the height ( H ) of a pile of a predetermined number d 'elements, and a colored longitudinal strip, serving as an information carrier on the elements contained, and, in the vicinity of its opening, a temporary securing means, by snap-fastening, of the cap relative to the case.
  • the stopper is provided with a skirt, the height ( h ) of which is determined so that, after total temporary fastening by snap-fastening of said stopper with respect to the case, the end of the latter is located at the level of the mark on the sides of the case; that is to say, touch the free face of the element located at the top of the stack.
  • the temporary joining, by snap-fastening, of the stopper with respect to the case preferably consists of at least one rib, located on the body of the stopper, slightly below the head of the latter, and at least one groove, of the same section as the rib or ribs carried by the plug, produced in the internal wall of the case, near the opening of the latter.
  • the rib carried by the body of the stopper and the corresponding groove made in the inner wall of the case are located at the same distance ( D ) respectively from the base of the head of the stopper and from the edge of the opening of the case. .
  • the locking system of the plug with respect to the case comprises a plurality of ribs and grooves, these are distributed over a width ( L ) less than the thickness ( E ) of an element.
  • the advantages obtained consist essentially in that the elements can be thus calibrated by the walls of the case, verified by comparison with a reference element and elements between them, thanks to the total transparency of said case.
  • the assembly, by stacking, of a predetermined number of elements is carried out by simple visual alignment of the upper face of the element located on the top of the stack with the reference mark, traced on the sides of the case, and by means of the stopper which cannot be secured to the case when the number of elements is greater, if only by one, to the predetermined number, because, in this case, the rib (s) of the plug cannot snap into the grooves of the case, and, finally, by sound control, since the closing of a case with an insufficient number of elements will result, during the manipulation of said e tui, by the emission of a clicking caused by the clashing of the elements between them.
  • flanks of the case being, moreover, provided with a colored band, serving as support for the indications concerning the number and the nature of the elements contained, for example, a green colored band with indication of the value (25 F ) in 25 pieces of 1 franc; there is therefore nothing to prevent this case, which also offers the advantage of being robust, easy to use and reusable, being used, preferably, in packaging, without a strip of paper, for interbank exchanges and in all areas where similar problems arise.
  • the device consists, in this case, of a cylindrical case 10 , comprising a circular mark 11 , a colored strip 12 and snap-in grooves 13 , containing parts 20 , closed by a cap 30 with head 31 , provided with snap ribs 32 and a skirt 33 .
  • the end of its skirt 33 comes to touch the free face 21 of the piece 20 , located at the top of the stack of pieces of height ( H ), while the head 31 of said plug is in contact with the edge of the opening of the case 10 , with total locking of the ribs 32 of the plug in the grooves 13 of the case 10 .
  • the coins of the same value being thus grouped by elementary unit of account: 25 coins of 1 F in this example, by means of cases 10 of dimensions and with appropriate color mark, these can be collected, in known manner , per upper unit of account: ten cases of 25 pieces of 1 F for example, in boxes 40 , shown in FIG.
  • the grouping box differs from that described above by the fact that it constitutes, in fact, a sort of suitcase with handle 53 , furnished with upholstery 51 with vertical cells 52 formed, by example, of a plastic foam, into which are inserted the cases 10 , the plugs 30 of which include a pastille 34 of color corresponding to the value of the parts contained.
  • This case comprises a cover 55 whose height corresponds to that of the head 31 of the plugs of the cases 10 , in order to obtain a plating of these in the bottom of the cells 52 , by closing said cover 55 .
  • the handle 53 of this case has a strip 54 of color corresponding to the value of the coins.
  • the device according to the invention is intended, mainly, to replace the traditional rolls of money, used in the banking system and in trade, but nothing prevents it from being used, too, subject to a very simple adaptation, rather in the direction of simplification, for direct counting and storage of tokens and plates used in certain games.
