Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a holder fit for mounting coin or token validation devices with the particularity of comprising a classifier, which can selectively segregate up to four different types of coins or tokens.
  • a holder applied to the mentioned aim formed by a one piece injection molded body, advantageously in plastic material, in which body are conformed a first passage for receiving coins or tokens, a second passage for receiving coins and tokens accepted by the validation device and a third passage for feeding back rejected pieces, said three passages ending at the side walls of a large prismatic rectangular recess, open by at least one of its faces, fit to house therein the body of the coin or token validation device, entered trough its side open face, and provided with means for positioning and locking said validation device.
  • Mentioned one piece body likewise includes means to mount a lever to drive the return mechanism those validation devices for coins or tokens are generally provided with and means to mount the whole assembly at the installation area.
  • the object of mentioned ES 90 01540 patent provides a frame-holder prepared to accept any kind of coin or token validation devices either mechanical or electromechanical, but the universality and simplification properties of the assembly mounting are still limited by the fact it requires to include a classifying device is built-in, operatively coupled to the second passage for receiving coins or tokens accepted by the validation device whenever it is wished that the apparatus incorporating the assembly performs a classification task of the coins or tokens introduced therein.
  • this invention relates to a likewise one piece holder having characteristics in principle similar to those of patent ES 90 01540, in which a classifier is built-in, modifying therefore the characteristics of the object of the mentioned prior patent and providing simple and reliable means to achieve the function wished, taking advantage of the characteristics offered as basis by the holder body.
  • US patent 5,048,663 relates also to the above type of frame. holder but with less performances.
  • the frame-holder has a large extension where two adjacent compartments are formed, facing each other, open toward the larger side faces of said frame-holder, thereafter called, respectively, side front and rear face, and separated by a wall, said front face remaining level at its upper edge, chamfered, with the access opening to the second passage for receiving theretrough valid coins.
  • Said wall separating the two compartments has two passage holes at different level and of a diverse section
  • the front compartment closed by a cover determining an upright, lengthwise passageway, of rectangular cross section, includes at least two diverting elements aimed to deflect the passage of the coins, of independent operation, coordinated with the validation device, which are joined through said holes of the wall to operating means, such as electromagnets with a well known spring core return system, installed in the rear compartment, determining a movement of said diverting elements with at least two operative positions, located transversally to the upright passage defined in said front compartment.
  • operating means such as electromagnets with a well known spring core return system
  • a first diverting element being formed by a laminar piece with two wings forming a V-shaped dihedron, but with the planes, respectively offset, topped out by an ear by means of which it is connected to an operating electromagnet core.
  • the two V-shaped wings of this piece are arranged in operative position with their respective planes orthogonal to the front compartment rear wall, one of them engaged and with possibility of retraction through one of the holes of said wall, in such a way that mentioned wings or V-shaped planes, operate in complementary and alternate way with respect to the second diverting element, determining the one inserted in the hole, depending on its position, a free passage in upright fall of the coin or the token (retracted situation) or a deflection (outwardly protruding situation) toward a determined side thereof, for which aim it is oriented inclined, while the second of the wings cooperates with the first, jamming the passage to a side wall in the first case, or allowing the passage to said side wall, respectively.
  • the second diverting element is formed by an elongated profile, of substantially triangular section, with some appendages, or end pivots which remain engaged in some side guiding grooves, perpendicular to the wall separating the two compartments.
  • This diverting element is positioned in such a way that its bottom is parallel to that of the frame-holder, with its higher sharpened angle edge oriented toward mentioned upright passage between the cover and the wall determining, depending on which relative position it has, the deviation of the coin toward one or the other flank.
  • Said second diverting element has on its external face central part, a triangular wedge-shaped protrusion with a ramp plane aligned in continuity with the inclined wing of the first diverting element, and on its rear part, it extends in a rigid arm which near the joining area of the triangular profile has an offset which gives a triangular section equivalent to that of the mentioned wedge-shaped protrusion, that arm being arranged inserted and with possibility of linear movement through second hole of the rear wall of this front compartment.
  • Said rear wall of the front compartment has an offset lower portion, with a ramp linking to the rest of the surface of said wall, of a depth sufficient to receive housed within it, in one of its operative positions, the second diverting element, in such a way that the more external side surface of this latter remains nearly level to the more protruding higher part from said rear wall from which the first diverting element protrudes.
  • the cover of the front compartment has available at one of its ends pins that can be fit in offsets made on the compartment side wall, and on the other end it possesses a hole corresponding to a shaft end which starts from said wall and has a hole in that end.
  • said cover comprises a portion outwardly protruding from the compartment which corresponds with the offset area on the wall front face, this cover allowing thus a limited movement of the second diverting element and offering a sufficient clearance for the passage of the coins toward one or the other flank of said profile depending on the more protruding position thereof.
  • the assembly shown in the figures consists in a one piece molded body -1-, in a material that can be used in said process, as a plastic material, which comprises a first passage (2) for receiving the coins or tokens, a second passage (2) for receiving therethrough the coins or tokens accepted by a validation device from the first passage and third passage -4- for feeding back toward a side box -30- or a hopper, through a passage -31- (figure 2a) the coins rejected by said validation device.
  • the body -1- comprises a large prismatic rectangular side recess -5- communicating with the three mentioned passages, that can house, entered through its open front side face, a validation device, with means -6-, -7- notch-shaped and hooking elements,to position and detachably fix said validation device (not shown, but of conventional characteristics, and any format) in said recess -5- and means -8-, -8a-, -9- and -9a- constituted by wings with passing holes, for arranging throughout elements to fasten the whole assembly at the installation area.
  • the holder is characterized in that at the area corresponding to the second passage -13- for receiving the coins accepted by the validation device, it has a large extension -10- that forms two adjacent compartments -11- and -12- (see Fig. 3) facing each other, open toward the front and rear side faces, respectively, separated by a wall -13-, whose front face remains level to its upper chamfered edge -13a-, with the access opening to said second passage -3-.
  • the wall -13- comprises two passing holes -21-, -22-, at different level and of a diverse section, and the front compartment -11- which remains closed on the front by a cover -14- determining with regard to rear wall -13- an upright, lengthwise passage -20-, of rectangular section, for receiving the coins or tokens, houses at least two elements -15- and -16- which deviate the passage of the coins, having an independent operation, coordinates with the validation device.
  • Said elements -15- and -16- are joined through the holes -21- and -22- of the wall -13- to operating means -17- and -18-, typically electromagnets, located in the back compartment -12- and determining a movement of said diverting elements -15-, -16-, with at least two operative positions, located transversal to the upright passage -20- defined between the wall -13- and cover -14- of said compartment -11-.
  • the first diverting element -15- is formed by a laminar part which comprises two wings -15a- and -15b- forming a V-shaped dihedron, but with the planes offset joined by a square -15c- and topped out in an ear -15d- by which it is fixed to the stem -17a- of an electromagnet -18- which has a spring -17a- coaxial.
  • the plane -15a- remains inserted in the hole -21- with possibility of retraction or protruding with respect to the wall -13- front plane with which in the first case the plane -15b- jams the passage of the coin to the left side of said diverting device, according to figure 2, and in the second, the inclined plane -15a-, leads the coin or tokens just to said left side.
  • the second diverting element -16- it consists in an elongated profile -16a- of substantially triangular section, with appendages -16b- or pivots, axial to its ends which remains engaged in lateral grooves -23- of compartment -11- perpendicular to the wall -13- in functions of linear guiding, with its higher angle edge, -16c- sharpened, oriented to the passage -20- between the wall -13- and the cover -14-.
  • the profile -16a- has at its central part and on its outwardly oriented face a triangular wedge-shaped protuberance -16d-, with a chute plane which corresponds in continuity below the end of the inclined plane -15a- of the first diverting element -15-.
  • the element -16a- extends by its rear central part in a rigid arm -16e- which near the joining area to said profile -16a- has an offset -16f- which gives a triangular section equivalent to the mentioned wedge-shaped protrusion -16d-, and said arm -16e- is arranged through the second hole -22- of the wall -13-.
  • Figure 1 shows that the lower part of the wall -13- has an offset area -13b- of sufficient depth to house in one of its operative positions the second diverting element -16- in such a way that the more external side surface of the portion -16a- remains virtually level to the upper more protruding part of the wall -13-.
  • the cover -14- comprises likewise, in a lower portion a part -14a- outwardly protruding to allow by its internal part notch-shaped, a sufficient movement of the diverting element -16- profile -16a- as it is apparent from these two figures.
  • the cited operating means include in the embodiment given as example two electromagnets with spring feed back means -33- and -34- coaxial to the stems -17a- and -18a-, respectively, known by themselves.
