Definitions
- the invention relates to a transport trolley, in particular a shopping trolley, which can be inserted into a similar trolley and is equipped with a device suitable for receiving goods, generally in the form of a basket, and with a handle for moving the trolley, which is mounted on lateral support arms via terminal grip caps.
- the trolley has a coin lock and a key for connecting cars standing in a parking column or for releasing the car, which is preferably at the end of the column, by entering a deposit coin, and the coin lock locks the deposit coin when the car is released and releases it when the car is reconnected.
- Trolleys with this deposit system are known in principle from DE-A 25 54 916 and are now on the market in different embodiments. Since the release of a trolley is only possible by inserting a coin into the coin machine and the user only gets the coin back when he reconnects the trolley to one of the various collection points, the trolleys no longer stand around uselessly. You save personnel to search, collect and return the wagons and also manage with fewer, because the unused wagons are always concentrated at the demand points.
- the coin lock is mounted on the handle tube with which the car can be moved, cf. DE-A 29 00 367 and US-A 4 683 609.
- this arrangement has the disadvantage that the accessibility of the basket is impaired.
- the coin lock on shopping trolleys equipped with a child seat protrudes into the seating area.
- this positioning there is also the danger that the coin locks will be rotated around the handle axis.
- the assembly of the lock in this area requires a precise dimensional adjustment of the coin lock housing the geometrical conditions of different parts. Since here depending on the car manufacturer different shapes for the handle support arm, the handle cap, but especially for the inclination of the support arms are on the market, the well-known coin lock must be adapted to the trolleys on the market through differently shaped housings.
- the object of the present invention is to improve the transport car described at the outset in such a way that it is distinguished by universal suitability for different types of car. Furthermore, the accessibility of the basket for loading and unloading as well as the suitability for a possible child seat should be preserved. Finally, according to a further development of the invention, the coin lock should be so stable that a column of coupled carriages can not only be moved forward, which is not critical, but also backwards, by pulling the last carriage of the column. Here, the tensile forces are transmitted from one to the other carriage via the coin lock, so that the coin locks are exposed to high tensile loads.
- connection of the coin lock to the one arm of the carriage can be pivoted with respect to an axis of rotation parallel to the handle and can be fixed at different angles of inclination of the coin lock.
- the pivotable arrangement of the coin lock allows a very precise alignment with respect to the tensile forces occurring when a column of vehicles moves backwards in such a way that the lock and in particular the key part inserted therein are subject to a pure tensile load.
- the previously occurring bending of the key due to obliquely acting forces is excluded and, at the same time, the locking elements of the coin lock which are engaged with the key are also protected.
- the receiving device has a real pivot bearing for the coin lock, whereby its alignment and assembly is particularly facilitated.
- the coin lock can be locked mechanically at the desired angle Socket bolts, screws or the like are made. Instead, however, it is also advantageous if this locking takes place by means of an elastic latching connection between the coin lock and the receiving device.
- the coin lock For simple assembly of the coin lock as well as for using one and the same mounting device for coin locks of different currencies, it is advisable to design the coin lock as an exchangeable plug-in element.
- the receiving device can then always have the same shape and is best integrated into the handle cap arranged at the end of the support arm, that is to say produced in one operation as an integral injection-molded part with the handle cap.
- the receiving device has a mouth-shaped opening into which the coin lock can be inserted approximately horizontally and locked therein. This particularly facilitates the use of the receiving device for coin locks of different coins as well as the alignment of the coin lock to the desired angle of inclination.
- the mouth-shaped opening is oriented against the direction of travel of the car.
- the tensile forces acting on the lock are then not only non-positively, but positively received by the receiving device and also the transfer of these tensile forces from the receiving device to the carriage arm not only non-positively, but form-fitting, because the receiving device is connected to the handle cap encompassing the end of the support arm.
- the receiving device has a corresponding recess on one or both side walls of the mouth-shaped opening.
- the coin machine has an approximately rotationally symmetrical circumference, in particular a circular or polygonal cylinder, at least in its area inserted in the receiving device, and corresponds to corresponding adjacent surfaces in the interior of the mouth-shaped opening. As a result, it can be easily aligned and locked at different angles of inclination.
- the assembly of the coin lock becomes particularly easy when the mouth-shaped opening can be expanded elastically in such a way that the coin-operated machine can be inserted approximately horizontally into the mouth-shaped opening and can latch into it.
- This latching connection is sufficient for locking the coin lock because the jaw-shaped opening is open against the tensile forces possibly acting on the coin lock, so that the latching connection is not loaded in the sense of opening by these tensile forces but rather the lock is pressed into the mouth-shaped opening by these tensile forces.
- the mouth-shaped opening is to be selected with regard to its vertical opening width so that the coin lock is installed at all angles of inclination that occur in practice can be and still remains accessible for the tokens to be inserted. Accordingly, the slot for inserting the key must have a sufficiently large vertical extension at the peripheral region of the receiving device opposite the mouth-shaped opening.
- a usual bracket 1 of a shopping cart Such a support arm runs obliquely upwards on both sides of the carriage and carries a handle tube 2 there, which is fastened at both ends in the U-shaped bend at the end of each support arm.
- This fastening is usually carried out by means of a plastic handle cap, which is pushed onto the U-shaped bend with a pocket and has a horizontally inwardly projecting bush 3 into which the handle tube 2 is inserted axially, see FIG. 3.
- the grip cap is fixed to the support arm 1 by a pin 8 which extends from the outside into an opening in the Handle cap is inserted and locked in it. It crosses the U-shaped bend of the support arm and thus holds the grip cap firmly on the support arm. Of course, another attachment is also possible.
- the handle tube 2 can be connected to the support arm via a handle cap of conventional shape.
- one handle cap is designed as a receiving device 4 for the adjustable mounting of a coin lock 5.
- the receiving device 4 has an approximately C-shaped shape in its upper region and is open towards the rear, that is to say against the direction of travel of the car.
- the mouth-shaped opening 4a thus created can be seen in particular in FIG. 3.
- the coin lock 5 can be pressed approximately horizontally with elastic expansion of the C-shaped upper part of the receiving device 4 and clamped therein, cf. 1 and 2.
- the cavity behind the opening 4a has a circular cylindrical contour 4b with an axis parallel to the handle 2 and is also provided with several adjacent longitudinal ribs 4c.
- the outer contour of the coin lock 5 corresponds to this. It therefore essentially has the shape of a cylinder with horizontal axis. On its outside it is provided with ribs 5a which cooperate with the longitudinal ribs 4c of the receiving device 4.
- the coin lock 5 is designed so that one or two upright coin coins can be inserted to the front on both sides via corresponding, approximately horizontal slots 5b. On the opposite side, which points in the direction of travel, the coin lock has a slot 5c (see FIG. 1) into which the key 6 of the shopping cart in front can be inserted.
- the opening width of the mouth-shaped opening 4a for inserting the coin lock 5 as well as the height of the opposite slot 4d for the key 6, which is preferably to be inserted upright, are dimensioned such that the accessibility of the coin lock 5 at all practically occurring angle differences between the insertion level of the key 6 into the lock 5 on the one hand and the support arm 1 on the other hand is preserved.
- the vertical side walls 4e of the receptacle are cut out and, moreover, are kept so narrow that the deposit coins in the coin lock always remain visible.
Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Transportwagen, insbesondere Einkaufswagen, der in einen gleichartigen Wagen einschiebbar und mit einer zur Aufnahme von Waren geeigneten Einrichtung, im allgemeinen in Form eines Korbes, und mit einem an seitlichen Tragarmen über endständige Griffkappen montierten Griff zum Verfahren des Wagens ausgestattet ist, wobei der Wagen in Griffnähe ein Münzschloß und einen Schlüssel zum Aneinanderschließen von in einer Parkkolonne stehenden Wagen bzw. zur Freigabe des vorzugsweise am Kolonnenende stehenden Wagens gegen Eingabe einer Pfandmünze aufweist und das Münzschloß die Pfandmünze bei der Wagenfreigabe verriegelt, beim Wiederanschließen des Wagens freigibt.The invention relates to a transport trolley, in particular a shopping trolley, which can be inserted into a similar trolley and is equipped with a device suitable for receiving goods, generally in the form of a basket, and with a handle for moving the trolley, which is mounted on lateral support arms via terminal grip caps. wherein the trolley has a coin lock and a key for connecting cars standing in a parking column or for releasing the car, which is preferably at the end of the column, by entering a deposit coin, and the coin lock locks the deposit coin when the car is released and releases it when the car is reconnected.
Transportwagen mit diesem Pfandsystem sind im Prinzip durch die DE-A 25 54 916 bekannt geworden und inzwischen in unterschiedlichen Ausführungsformen auf dem Markt. Da die Freigabe eines Wagens nur gegen Einstecken einer Pfandmünze in den Münzautomat möglich ist und der Benutzer die Münze nur dann zurückerhält, wenn er den Wagen an einer der verschiedenen Sammelstellen wieder ankoppelt, stehen die Wagen nicht mehr nutzlos herum. Man spart Personal zum Suchen, Sammeln und Zurückbringen der Wagen und kommt auch mit einer geringeren Anzahl aus, weil die nicht benutzten Wagen stets an den Bedarfspunkten konzentriert sind.Trolleys with this deposit system are known in principle from DE-A 25 54 916 and are now on the market in different embodiments. Since the release of a trolley is only possible by inserting a coin into the coin machine and the user only gets the coin back when he reconnects the trolley to one of the various collection points, the trolleys no longer stand around uselessly. You save personnel to search, collect and return the wagons and also manage with fewer, because the unused wagons are always concentrated at the demand points.
Bei den meisten Wagen ist das Münzschloß an dem Griffrohr montiert, mit dem der Wagen verfahren werden kann, vgl. DE-A 29 00 367 und US-A 4 683 609. Diese Anordnung hat aber den Nachteil, daß die Zugänglichkeit des Korbes beeinträchtigt wird. Darüber hinaus ragt das Münzschloß bei solchen Einkaufswagen, die mit einem Kindersitz ausgestattet sind, störend in den Sitzbereich hinein. Schließlich besteht bei dieser Positionierung auch die Gefahr, daß die Münzschlösser um die Griffachse verdreht werden.In most cars, the coin lock is mounted on the handle tube with which the car can be moved, cf. DE-A 29 00 367 and US-A 4 683 609. However, this arrangement has the disadvantage that the accessibility of the basket is impaired. In addition, the coin lock on shopping trolleys equipped with a child seat protrudes into the seating area. Finally, with this positioning there is also the danger that the coin locks will be rotated around the handle axis.
Daneben ist es durch die DE-A 33 24 962 bekannt, das Münzschloß außen an einer Korbseitenwand zu befestigen. Dabei besteht aber die Gefahr, daß man mit dem seitlich vorstehenden Schloßgehäuse hängen bleibt, insbesondere dann, wenn Gegenverkehr herrscht, weil dann die Münzautomaten jeweils an den einander zugewandten Korbseiten vorstehen. Dieser erhöhte Sicherheitsabstand wird vom Kunden normalerweise nicht erwartet, so daß es in den mitunter engen Passagen in Supermärkten häufig zu Kollisionen kommt.In addition, it is known from DE-A 33 24 962 to fasten the coin lock on the outside of a basket side wall. However, there is a risk that the lock housing protrudes laterally, particularly when there is oncoming traffic, because then the coin-operated machines protrude on the sides of the basket facing each other. This increased safety distance is normally not expected by the customer, so that collisions often occur in the sometimes narrow passages in supermarkets.
Um diese Probleme zu beseitigen, wird in der EP 199 274 vorgeschlagen, das Münzschloß im Übergangsbereich zwischen Griff und Tragarm anzuordnen, wobei es sich sowohl am Griff als auch am Tragarm abstützen soll, damit eine mutwillige Verdrehung ausgeschlossen ist.In order to eliminate these problems, it is proposed in EP 199 274 to arrange the coin lock in the transition area between the handle and the support arm, whereby it is to be supported both on the handle and on the support arm so that a deliberate twisting is excluded.
Die Montage des Schlosses in diesem Bereich verlangt aber eine genaue maßliche Anpassung des Münzschloß-Gehäuses an die geometrischen Gegebenheiten verschiedener Teile. Da hier je nach Wagenhersteller unterschiedliche Formen für den Grifftragarm, die Griffkappe, insbesondere aber für die Neigung der Tragarme auf dem Markt sind, muß das bekannte Münzschloß durch unterschiedlich geformte Gehäuse an die auf dem Markt befindlichen Transportwagen angepaßt werden.The assembly of the lock in this area requires a precise dimensional adjustment of the coin lock housing the geometrical conditions of different parts. Since here depending on the car manufacturer different shapes for the handle support arm, the handle cap, but especially for the inclination of the support arms are on the market, the well-known coin lock must be adapted to the trolleys on the market through differently shaped housings.
Hiervon ausgehend liegt die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, den eingangs beschriebenen Transportwagen dahingehend zu verbessern, daß er sich durch universelle Eignung für unterschiedliche Wagentypen auszeichnet. Des weiteren soll die Zugänglichkeit des Korbes zum Be- und Entladen wie auch die Eignung für einen eventuellen Kindersitz gewahrt bleiben. Schließlich soll gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung das Münzschloß so stabil sein, daß man eine Kolonne zusammengekoppelter Wagen nicht nur vorwärts, was unkritisch ist, sondern auch rückwärts verfahren kann, indem der letzte Wagen der Kolonne gezogen wird. Hierbei werden die Zugkräfte jeweils über das Münzschloß vom einen auf den anderen Wagen übertragen, so daß die Münzschlösser hoher Zugbelastung ausgesetzt sind.Proceeding from this, the object of the present invention is to improve the transport car described at the outset in such a way that it is distinguished by universal suitability for different types of car. Furthermore, the accessibility of the basket for loading and unloading as well as the suitability for a possible child seat should be preserved. Finally, according to a further development of the invention, the coin lock should be so stable that a column of coupled carriages can not only be moved forward, which is not critical, but also backwards, by pulling the last carriage of the column. Here, the tensile forces are transmitted from one to the other carriage via the coin lock, so that the coin locks are exposed to high tensile loads.
Dieser Aufgabenkomplex wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Verbindung des Münzschlosses mit dem einen Tragarm des Wagens bezogen auf eine zum Griff parallele Drehachse verschwenkbar und in unterschiedlichen Neigungswinkeln des Münzschlosses fixierbar ist.This complex of tasks is solved according to the invention in that the connection of the coin lock to the one arm of the carriage can be pivoted with respect to an axis of rotation parallel to the handle and can be fixed at different angles of inclination of the coin lock.
Dadurch gelingt es, das Münzschloß unabhängig von der jeweiligen Neigung der Wagen-Tragarme stets horizontal ausgerichtet werden. Man kann also ein und dieselbe Gehäusekonstruktion des Münzschlosses für unterschiedliche Einkaufswagen-Typen verwenden, braucht nur noch eine Spritzgußform und erzielt dadurch erheblich günstigere Herstellkosten als bisher.This ensures that the coin lock is always horizontal regardless of the inclination of the carriage arms be aligned. So you can use one and the same housing construction of the coin lock for different shopping trolley types, just need an injection mold and thereby achieve significantly lower manufacturing costs than before.
Außerdem gestattet die verschwenkbare Anordnung des Münzschlosses eine sehr genaue Ausrichtung bezüglich der beim Rückwärtsfahren einer Wagenkolonne auftretenden Zugkräfte in der Weise, daß das Schloß und insbesondere das darin steckende Schlüsselteil einer reinen Zugbelastung unterliegen. Dadurch wird das bisher auftretende Verbiegen des Schlüssels aufgrund schräg einwirkender Kräfte ausgeschlossen und zugleich werden auch die mit dem Schlüssel in Eingriff stehenden Verriegelungselemente des Münzschlosses geschont.In addition, the pivotable arrangement of the coin lock allows a very precise alignment with respect to the tensile forces occurring when a column of vehicles moves backwards in such a way that the lock and in particular the key part inserted therein are subject to a pure tensile load. As a result, the previously occurring bending of the key due to obliquely acting forces is excluded and, at the same time, the locking elements of the coin lock which are engaged with the key are also protected.
Für die verschwenkbare Anordnung des Münzschlosses und seine Fixierung in dem gewünschten Neigungswinkel unabhängig von der Schrägstellung seines Tragarmes bieten sich dem Fachmann verschiedene Möglichkeiten. Besonders zweckmäßig ist es, wenn die Verbindung des Münzschlosses mit seinem Tragarm über eine Aufnahmevorrichtung erfolgt, an der das Münzschloß bezogen auf die zum Griff parallele Drehachse in unterschiedlichen Neigungswinkeln fixierbar ist.Various possibilities are available to the person skilled in the art for the pivotable arrangement of the coin lock and its fixing in the desired angle of inclination regardless of the inclination of its support arm. It is particularly expedient if the coin lock is connected to its support arm via a receiving device on which the coin lock can be fixed at different angles of inclination with respect to the axis of rotation parallel to the handle.
Dabei besteht die Möglichkeit, daß die Aufnahmevorrichtung eine echte Schwenklagerung für das Münzschloß aufweist, wodurch seine Ausrichtung und Montage besonders erleichtert wird. Die Arretierung des Münzschlosses in dem gewünschten Neigungswinkel kann mechanisch durch Steckbolzen, Schrauben oder dergleichen erfolgen. Stattdessen ist es aber auch vorteilhaft, wenn diese Arretierung durch eine elastische Rastverbindung zwischen Münzschloß und Aufnahmevorrichtung erfolgt.There is the possibility that the receiving device has a real pivot bearing for the coin lock, whereby its alignment and assembly is particularly facilitated. The coin lock can be locked mechanically at the desired angle Socket bolts, screws or the like are made. Instead, however, it is also advantageous if this locking takes place by means of an elastic latching connection between the coin lock and the receiving device.
Zur einfachen Montage des Münzschlosses wie auch zur Verwendung ein und derselben Aufnahmevorrichtung für Münzschlösser unterschiedlicher Währungen empfiehlt es sich, das Münzschloß als auswechselbares Steckelement auszubilden. Die Aufnahmevorrichtung kann dann stets die gleiche Form aufweisen und wird am besten in die am Ende des Tragarmes angeordnete Griffkappe integriert, also in einem Arbeitsgang als einstückiges Spritzgußteil mit der Griffkappe hergestellt.For simple assembly of the coin lock as well as for using one and the same mounting device for coin locks of different currencies, it is advisable to design the coin lock as an exchangeable plug-in element. The receiving device can then always have the same shape and is best integrated into the handle cap arranged at the end of the support arm, that is to say produced in one operation as an integral injection-molded part with the handle cap.
Gemäß einer besonders vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung, für die selbständiger Schutz beansprucht wird, weist die Aufnahmevorrichtung eine maulförmige Öffnung auf, in die das Münzschloß etwa horizontal einsteckbar und darin arretierbar ist. Dadurch wird die Verwendung der Aufnahmevorrichtung für Münzschlösser unterschiedlicher Münzen wie auch die Ausrichtung des Münzschlosses auf den gewünschten Neigungswinkel besonders erleichtert.According to a particularly advantageous development of the invention, for which independent protection is claimed, the receiving device has a mouth-shaped opening into which the coin lock can be inserted approximately horizontally and locked therein. This particularly facilitates the use of the receiving device for coin locks of different coins as well as the alignment of the coin lock to the desired angle of inclination.
Damit die Aufnahmevorrichtung für die Aufnahme hoher Zugkräfte geeignet ist, wird die maulförmige Öffnung entgegen der Fahrtrichtung des Wagens orientiert. Die auf das Schloß einwirkenden Zugkräfte werden dann nicht nur kraftschlüssig, sondern formschlüssig von der Aufnahmevorrichtung aufgenommen und ebenso erfolgt auch die Weitergabe dieser Zugkräfte von der Aufnahmevorrichtung auf den Wagen-Tragarm nicht nur kraftschlüssig, sondern formschlüssig, weil die Aufnahmevorrichtung mit der das Ende des Tragarmes umfassenden Griffkappe verbunden ist.So that the receiving device is suitable for absorbing high tractive forces, the mouth-shaped opening is oriented against the direction of travel of the car. The tensile forces acting on the lock are then not only non-positively, but positively received by the receiving device and also the transfer of these tensile forces from the receiving device to the carriage arm not only non-positively, but form-fitting, because the receiving device is connected to the handle cap encompassing the end of the support arm.
Um das Einstecken der Pfandmünze bzw. der Pfandmünzen in den Münzautomat zu erleichtern, weist die Aufnahmevorrichtung an der einen oder an beiden Seitenwänden der maulförmigen Öffnung eine entsprechende Aussparung auf.In order to make it easier to insert the deposit coin or the deposit coins into the coin-operated machine, the receiving device has a corresponding recess on one or both side walls of the mouth-shaped opening.
Des weiteren empfiehlt es sich, daß der Münzautomat zumindest in seinem in der Aufnahmevorrichtung steckenden Bereich einen etwa rotationssymmetrischen Umfang, insbesondere einen Kreis- oder Vieleckzylinder, aufweist und mit entsprechenden Nachbarflächen im Inneren der maulförmigen Öffnung korrespondiert. Er kann dadurch leicht in unterschiedlichen Neigungswinkeln ausgerichtet und arretiert werden.Furthermore, it is recommended that the coin machine has an approximately rotationally symmetrical circumference, in particular a circular or polygonal cylinder, at least in its area inserted in the receiving device, and corresponds to corresponding adjacent surfaces in the interior of the mouth-shaped opening. As a result, it can be easily aligned and locked at different angles of inclination.
Besonders leicht wird die Montage des Münzschlosses, wenn die maulförmige Öffnung derart elastisch aufweitbar ist, daß der Münzautomat etwa horizontal in die maulförmige Öffnung eingesteckt und in ihr verrasten kann. Diese Rastverbindung genügt für die Arretierung des Münzschlosses, weil die maulförmige Öffnung entgegen der auf das Münzschloß eventuell einwirkenden Zugkräfte offen ist, so daß die Rastverbindung durch diese Zugkräfte nicht im Öffnungssinn belastet wird sondern vielmehr das Schloß durch diese Zugkräfte in die maulförmige Öffnung hineingedrückt wird.The assembly of the coin lock becomes particularly easy when the mouth-shaped opening can be expanded elastically in such a way that the coin-operated machine can be inserted approximately horizontally into the mouth-shaped opening and can latch into it. This latching connection is sufficient for locking the coin lock because the jaw-shaped opening is open against the tensile forces possibly acting on the coin lock, so that the latching connection is not loaded in the sense of opening by these tensile forces but rather the lock is pressed into the mouth-shaped opening by these tensile forces.
Die maulförmige Öffnung ist hinsichtlich ihrer vertikalen Öffnungsweite so zu wählen, daß das Münzschloß unter allen in der Praxis vorkommenden Neigungswinkeln eingebaut werden kann und dabei immer noch für die einzusteckenden Pfandmünzen zugänglich bleibt. Dementsprechend muß auch der Schlitz zum Einstecken des Schlüssels an dem der maulförmigen Öffnung gegenüberliegenden Umfangsbereich der Aufnahmevorrichtung eine genügend große Vertikalerstreckung aufweisen.The mouth-shaped opening is to be selected with regard to its vertical opening width so that the coin lock is installed at all angles of inclination that occur in practice can be and still remains accessible for the tokens to be inserted. Accordingly, the slot for inserting the key must have a sufficiently large vertical extension at the peripheral region of the receiving device opposite the mouth-shaped opening.

In Fig. 1 erkennt man zunächst einen üblichen Tragarm 1 eines Einkaufswagens. Ein solcher Tragarm läuft beidseits des Wagens schräg ansteigend nach hinten und trägt dort ein Griffrohr 2, das an seinen beiden Enden jeweils in der U-förmigen Umbiegung am Ende eines jeden Tragarmes befestigt ist. Diese Befestigung erfolgt meist mittels einer Griffkappe aus Kunststoff, die mit einer Tasche auf die U-förmige Umbiegung aufgeschoben wird und eine horizontal nach innen ragende Buchse 3 aufweist, in die das Griffrohr 2 axial eingeschoben wird, siehe Fig. 3.In Fig. 1 you can first see a
Die Fixierung der Griffkappe an dem Tragarm 1 erfolgt durch einen Zapfen 8, der von außen in eine Öffnung der Griffkappe eingesteckt und in ihr verrastet wird. Er durchquert die U-förmige Umbiegung des Tragarmes und hält die Griffkappe somit formschlüssig auf dem Tragarm fest. Selbstverständlich ist jedoch auch eine andere Befestigung möglich.The grip cap is fixed to the

Wesentlich ist nun, daß die eine Griffkappe als Aufnahmevorrichtung 4 zur verstellbaren Montage eines Münzschlosses 5 ausgebildet ist. Dazu weist die Aufnahmevorrichtung 4 in ihrem oberen Bereich eine etwa C-förmige Form auf und ist nach hinten hin, also entgegen der Fahrtrichtung des Wagens offen. Die so entstehende, maulförmige Öffnung 4a ist insbesondere in Fig. 3 erkennbar. In diese Öffnung kann das Münzschloß 5 unter elastischer Aufweitung des C-förmigen Oberteils der Aufnahmevorrichtung 4 etwa horizontal hineingedrückt und darin verklemmt werden, vgl. Fig. 1 und 2.It is essential that one handle cap is designed as a receiving
Um einen sicheren Halt des Münzschlosses 5 in der Aufnahmevorrichtung 4 einerseits und die erwünschte Justierbarkeit des Münzschlosses bezogen auf eine zum Griff 2 parallele Drehachse andererseits sicherzustellen, weist der Hohlraum hinter der Öffnung 4a eine kreiszylindrische Kontur 4b mit einer zum Griff 2 parallelen Achse auf und ist außerdem mit mehreren nebeneinander liegenden Längsrippen 4c versehen.In order to ensure a secure hold of the

Das Münzschloß 5 ist so gestaltet, daß an beiden Seiten über entsprechende, etwa horizontal verlaufende Schlitze 5b ein oder zwei hochkant stehende Pfandmünzen nach vorn eingeschoben werden können. An der gegenüberliegenden, in Fahrtrichtung weisenden Seite hat das Münzschloß einen Schlitz 5c (vgl. Fig. 1), in den der Schlüssel 6 des davorstehenden Einkaufswagens eingesteckt werden kann.The
Zu den konstruktiven Details des Münzschlosses wird auf die PCT/EP 91/00 261 verwiesen, in der das hier dargestellte Münzschloß näher beschrieben ist. Selbstverständlich kann aber stattdessen auch jede andere Schloßkonstruktion verwendet werden.For the structural details of the coin lock, reference is made to PCT / EP 91/00 261, in which the coin lock shown here is described in more detail. Of course, any other lock construction can be used instead.
Die Öffnungsweite der maulförmigen Öffnung 4a zum Einstecken des Münzschlosses 5 wie auch die Höhe des gegenüberliegenden Schlitzes 4d für den vorzugsweise hochkant einzusteckenden Schlüssel 6 sind so bemessen, daß die Zugänglichkeit des Münzschlosses 5 unter allen praktisch vorkommenden Winkeldifferenzen zwischen der Einsteckebene des Schlüssels 6 in das Schloß 5 einerseits und dem Tragarm 1 andererseits gewahrt bleibt.
