Definitions
- the invention relates to a coin checking device for an automatic machine which, after correct coin insertion into a coin channel, releases a lever or the like for actuation, at least some of the coins inserted being stackable one above the other and the coin channel being arranged between two plates and between the two Plate bolts or the like protrude, which are spaced according to the size and position of the coins, and there is free space on the side of the bolt for coins which do not fall through.
- a large number of coin testing devices have already become known, but they are either very complicated, in particular by electrical circuits, or are easily prone to jamming or other malfunctions. Especially in machines that release objects of relatively low value after the correct coin insertion, e.g. Newspapers, sweets or the like. It is less important that the coins be checked very precisely. The smooth functioning is much more important because if the machine does not work, the user is annoyed and sometimes even tempted to do damaging or destructive actions even if the coin is inserted correctly.
- GB-A-753 266 describes a coin checking device in which a check for the presence of a coin is carried out by the interaction of a lever with a recess.
- the arrangement is extremely complex for each type of coins due to the arrangement of separate coin chambers.
- the invention has therefore set itself the goal of creating a coin testing device of the type mentioned, which is simple in construction and is largely trouble-free in operation without the need for electrical circuits.
- the number of coins required for releasing the actuation should be easily adjustable, and jamming of the coins should be practically impossible.
- This goal is achieved in that recesses are provided in a plate in the area of the upper coins of a stack, that an additional plate lying on this plate and displaceable parallel to it can be connected to an operating lever or the like of the machine and carries pivotally mounted levers which are pressed into the recesses of the plate by springs and pushed away from the plate in the presence of coins.
- the path or the position of the coins between the plates can be clearly determined, jamming of the coins or the lever causing the release is largely ruled out.
- the bolts or the like are, according to a further feature of the invention, stored in a bolt carrier which adjoins the plate and which is removed from the coin channel by means of an actuating button or the like is movable away. By pressing the button or the like, the path for the coins is thus completely cleared.
- FIG. 1 shows schematically the coin checking device installed in an automatic machine
- 2 shows a longitudinal section through the coin channel.
- Fig. 3 is a section along the line III-III in Fig. 2;
- Fig. 4 is a section along the line IV-IV in Fig. 2;
- Fig. 5 is a section similar to Figure 4 with the pivot position of the bolt carrier.
- 6 to 10 show different positions of the levers which release the actuation, and FIGS. 11 and 12 show the pivotable unit in two different positions.
- a coin validator 2 is arranged in the housing 1 of a vending machine, which, after the coin has been inserted correctly, releases the actuation of a rod 3 by means of a handle (not shown).
- the movement of the bar is transmitted to the mechanism of the vending machine via a driver 4. This mechanism is not essential to the present invention and is therefore not described.
- the coin validator 2 has three plates 5, 6 and 7 lying next to one another, the plates 5 and 6 delimiting a coin channel 8.
- the plate 7 overlaps the plates 5 and 6 with lateral shoulders 9 and is mounted so as to be displaceable relative to the plates 5 and 6 by means of lugs 10.
- a bolt carrier 11 is provided, in which bolts 12, 13 and 14 are arranged.
- the bolts 12 and 13 are fixedly secured in the bolt carrier 11 and protrude into the coin channel 8 in the position of the bolt carrier 11 shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4.
- the bolts 14 are displaceable in the bolt carrier 11 so that they can be moved into the Coin channel 8 can be moved in or out of this.
- the displacement takes place via a pin 15 which is eccentrically fastened to an axis 17 and which engages in a groove 16 of the respective bolt.
- the bolts 12 and 13 determine the path or the position of the coins inserted into the coin channel 8 through a slot 18. In the example shown (Fig. 2) it is provided that a 5-shilling coin 19 and 1-shilling coins 20 can be inserted.
- the distance between the bolts 12 is selected so that the coin 19 gets caught there, but coins 20 can fall over to the side.
- the bolts 14 can be inserted into the path of the three lower coins 20, so that an amount of 6, 7, 8 or 9 shillings can be set depending on the number of inserted bolts 14.
- the plate 6 has recesses 21 in the area of the coin 19 and the upper coin 20 and carries in this area pivotably mounted levers 22 which are pushed against the plate 6 or the recesses 21 by springs (not shown).
- the rod 3 is connected to the plate 7 and these two parts can only be lifted together.
- the entire unit consisting of the plates 5, 6 and 7 and the bolt carrier 11 is pivotally mounted at 23 and a guide 24 and a bolt 25 sliding therein are provided, by which when the plate 7 is pulled up the unit moves to the right into the Fig. 12 pivots position, in which the coin channel comes to lie on the side of a partition 26 above the coin collector 27.
- the bolt carrier 11 is pivoted about a vertical axis into the position shown in FIG. 5, so that the coins can fall freely into the coin collector 27.
- the bolt carrier 11 can also be pivoted into the position shown in FIG. 5 by means of an actuation button (not shown) in the non-raised position of the plate 7 (FIG. 11), so that the coins on the other side of the Partition 16 fall into the coin return.
- the number of coins inserted is by no means limited to five, e.g. a further step up for a 10, - S coin can be connected, or a 10, - S coin could be provided instead of the 5, -.

Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Münzprüfeinrichtung für einen Automaten, die nach richtigem Münzeinwurf in einen Münzkanal einen Hebel od. dgl. zur Betätigung freigibt, wobei mindestens ein Teil der eingeworfenen Münzen übereinander stapelbar ist und der Münzkanal zwischen zwei Platten angeordnet ist sowie zwischen die beiden Platten Bolzen od. dgl. ragen, die der Größe und Lage der Münzen entsprechende Abstände haben, und seitlich der Bolzen freier Raum für das Durchfallen nicht entsprechender Münzen verbleibt.The invention relates to a coin checking device for an automatic machine which, after correct coin insertion into a coin channel, releases a lever or the like for actuation, at least some of the coins inserted being stackable one above the other and the coin channel being arranged between two plates and between the two Plate bolts or the like protrude, which are spaced according to the size and position of the coins, and there is free space on the side of the bolt for coins which do not fall through.
Es sind schon eine Vielzahl von Münzprüfeinrichtungen bekannt geworden, die jedoch insbesondere durch elektrische Stromkreise entweder sehr kompliziert aufgebaut sind oder leicht zum Verklemmen oder zu sonstigen Störungen neigen. Insbesondere bei Automaten, die Gegenstände relativ geringen Wertes nach richtigem Münzeinwurf freigeben, z.B. Zeitungen, Süßigkeiten oder dgl. ist es weniger ausschlaggebend, daß eine ganz exakte Prüfung der Münzen vorgenommen wird. Viel wesentlicher ist die reibungslose Funktion, weil beim Nichtfunktionieren des Automaten trotz richtigem Münzeinwurf der Benützer verärgert und manchmal sogar zu beschädigenden oder zerstörenden Handlungen verleitet wird.A large number of coin testing devices have already become known, but they are either very complicated, in particular by electrical circuits, or are easily prone to jamming or other malfunctions. Especially in machines that release objects of relatively low value after the correct coin insertion, e.g. Newspapers, sweets or the like. It is less important that the coins be checked very precisely. The smooth functioning is much more important because if the machine does not work, the user is annoyed and sometimes even tempted to do damaging or destructive actions even if the coin is inserted correctly.
Aus der GB-A-2 005 891 ist eine Münzprüfeinrichtung bekannt geworden, die die eingangs erwähnten Merkmale aufweist. Mit dieser bekannten Einrichtung kann jedoch nur unvollkommen eine richtige Prüfung aller eingeworfenen Münzen erreicht werden.From GB-A-2 005 891 a coin checking device has become known which has the features mentioned at the beginning. With this known device, however, a correct check of all inserted coins can only be achieved incompletely.
Die GB-A-753 266 beschreibt eine Münzprüfeinrichtung, bei der durch Zusammenwirken eines Hebels mit einer Ausnehmung eine Prüfung des Vorhandenseins einer Münze durchgeführt wird. Die Einrichtung ist jedoch zufolge der Anordnung von gesonderten Münzkammern für jede Art Münzen äußerst aufwendig.GB-A-753 266 describes a coin checking device in which a check for the presence of a coin is carried out by the interaction of a lever with a recess. However, the arrangement is extremely complex for each type of coins due to the arrangement of separate coin chambers.
Die Erfindung hat es sich daher zum Ziel gesetzt, eine Münzprüfeinrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die einfach aufgebaut und ohne Notwendigkeit elektrischer Stromkreise im Betrieb weitgehend störungsfrei ist. Überdies soll die zur Freigabe der Betätigung erforderliche Anzahl von Münzen leicht einstellbar sein, wobei ein Verklemmen der Münzen praktisch ausgeschlossen sein soll. Erreicht wird dieses Ziel dadurch, daß in einer Platte im Bereich der oberen Münzen eines Stapels Ausnehmungen vorgesehen sind, daß eine auf dieser Platte aufliegende und parallel zu dieser verschiebbare weitere Platte mit einem Betätigungshebel od. dgl. des Automaten verbindbar ist und schwenkbar gelagerte Hebel trägt, die durch Federn in die Ausnehmungen der Platte gedrängt und bei Vorhandensein von Münzen von der Platte weggedrückt werden.The invention has therefore set itself the goal of creating a coin testing device of the type mentioned, which is simple in construction and is largely trouble-free in operation without the need for electrical circuits. In addition, the number of coins required for releasing the actuation should be easily adjustable, and jamming of the coins should be practically impossible. This goal is achieved in that recesses are provided in a plate in the area of the upper coins of a stack, that an additional plate lying on this plate and displaceable parallel to it can be connected to an operating lever or the like of the machine and carries pivotally mounted levers which are pressed into the recesses of the plate by springs and pushed away from the plate in the presence of coins.
Bei einer erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung ist der Weg bzw. die Lage der Münzen zwischen den Platten eindeutig festlegbar, ein Verklemmen der Münzen oder der die Freigabe bewirkenden Hebel ist weitgehend ausgeschlossen.With a device according to the invention, the path or the position of the coins between the plates can be clearly determined, jamming of the coins or the lever causing the release is largely ruled out.
Um bei einem eventuell doch eintretenden Versagen eine sichere Rückgabe der bereits eingeworfenen Münzen zu gewährleisten, sind nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung die Bolzen od. dgl. in einem an die eine Platte anschließenden Bolzenträger gelagert, der mittels eines Betätigungsknopfes od. dgl. vom Münzkanal weg bewegbar ist. Durch Betätigen des Knopfes od. dgl. wird demnach der Weg für die Münzen völlig freigegeben.In order to ensure a safe return of the coins already inserted in the event of a failure, the bolts or the like are, according to a further feature of the invention, stored in a bolt carrier which adjoins the plate and which is removed from the coin channel by means of an actuating button or the like is movable away. By pressing the button or the like, the path for the coins is thus completely cleared.
Eine sowohl im Aufbau als auch in der Betätigung einfache Trennung der zu kassierenden und der rückzugebenden Münzen ist möglich, wenn die den Münzkanal begrenzenden Platten mit den Hebeln und dem Bolzenträger als Einheit über eine Scheidewand schwenkbar gelagert sind, die die Münzrückgabe und den Münzsammler trennt.A simple separation of the coins to be collected and the coins to be returned, both in terms of structure and operation, is possible if the plates delimiting the coin channel with the levers and the bolt carrier are pivotally mounted as a unit via a partition that separates the coin return and the coin collector.
Nachstehend ist die Erfindung an Hand eines in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher beschrieben. Dabei zeigen: Fig. 1 schematisch die in einen Automaten eingebaute Münzprüfeinrichtung; Fig. 2 einen Längsschnitt durch den Münzkanal; Fig. 3 einen Schnitt nach der Linie III-III in Fig. 2; Fig. 4 einen Schnitt nach der Linie IV-IV in Fig. 2; Fig. 5 einen Schnitt ähnlich der Fig. 4 bei verschwenkter Stellung des Bolzenträgers; die Fig. 6 bis Fig. 10 verschiedene Stellungen der die Freigabe der Betätigung bewirkenden Hebel, und die Fig. 11 und 12 in Ansicht die verschwenkbare Einheit in zwei verschiedenen Stellungen.The invention is described in more detail below on the basis of an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawings. 1 shows schematically the coin checking device installed in an automatic machine; 2 shows a longitudinal section through the coin channel. Fig. 3 is a section along the line III-III in Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is a section along the line IV-IV in Fig. 2; Fig. 5 is a section similar to Figure 4 with the pivot position of the bolt carrier. 6 to 10 show different positions of the levers which release the actuation, and FIGS. 11 and 12 show the pivotable unit in two different positions.
Gemäß Fig. 1 ist im Gehäuse 1 eines Verkaufsautomaten ein Münzprüfer 2 angeordnet, der nach richtigem Münzeinwurf die Betätigung einer Stange 3 über einen nicht gezeichneten Handgriff freigibt. Die Bewegung der Stange wird über einen Mitnehmer 4 auf den Mechanismus der Verkaufsautomaten übertragen. Dieser Mechanismus ist für vorliegende Erfindung nicht wesentlich und daher auch nicht beschrieben.1, a
Der Münzprüfer 2 weist drei nebeneinander liegende Platten 5, 6 und 7 auf wobei die Platten 5 und 6 einen Münzkanal 8 begrenzen. Die Platte 7 übergreift die Platten 5 und 6 mit seitlichen Ansätzen 9 und ist mittels Nasen 10 relativ zu den Platten 5 und 6 verschiebbar gelagert.The
Anschließend an die Platte 5 ist ein Bolzenträger 11 vorgesehen, in dem Bolzen 12, 13 sowie 14 angeordnet sind. Die Bolzen 12 und 13 sind fest im Bolzenträger 11 befestigt und ragen in der in den Fig. 2, 3 und 4 gezeigten Stellung des Bolzenträgers 11 in den Münzkanal 8. Die Bolzen 14 sind im Bolzenträger 11 verschiebbar, sodaß sie in den Münzkanal 8 hinein oder aus diesem heraus verschoben werden können. Die Verschiebung erfolgt dabei über einen an einer Achse 17 exzentrisch befestigten Stift 15, der in eine Nut 16 des jeweiligen Bolzens eingreift. Die Bolzen 12 und 13 bestimmen den Weg bzw. die Lage der durch einen Schlitz 18 in den Münzkanal 8 eingeworfenen Münzen. Im gezeichneten Beispiel (Fig. 2) ist vorgesehen, daß eine 5-Schilling-Münze 19 sowie 1-Schilling-Münzen 20 eingeworfen werden können. Der Abstand der Bolzen 12 ist so gewählt, daß die Münze 19 dort hängen bleibt, Münzen 20 jedoch seitlich vorbei fallen können. Die Bolzen 14 sind in den Weg der drei unteren Münzen 20 einschiebbar, sodaß je nach der Anzahl der eingeschobenen Bolzen 14 ein Betrag von 6, 7, 8 oder 9 Schilling einstellbar ist.Following the
Die Platte 6 weist im Bereich der Münze 19 sowie der oberen Münze 20 Ausnehmungen 21 auf und trägt in diesem Bereich schwenkbar gelagerte Hebel 22, die durch (nicht dargestellte) Federn gegen die Platte 6 bzw. die Ausnehmungen 21 gedrängt werden. Die Stange 3 ist mit der Platte 7 verbunden und es können diese beiden Teile nur gemeinsam gehoben werden.The
Liegen nun im Bereich der Ausnehmungen 21 Münzen, so kann, entsprechend den Fig. 7 und 8, die Platte 7 und damit die Stange 3 aufwärts bewegt werden. Fehlt jedoch auch nur eine der beiden Münzen, legt sich der entsprechende Hebel 22 (Fig. 10) in die Ausnehmung 21 und die Bewegung ist gesperrt.If there are 21 coins in the area of the recesses, the
Die gesamte aus den Platten 5, 6 und 7 sowie dem Bolzenträger 11 bestehende Einheit ist bei 23 schwenkbar gelagert und es ist eine Führung 24 sowie ein in dieser gleitender Bolzen 25 vorgesehen, durch den beim Hochziehen der Platte 7 die Einheit nach rechts in die in Fig. 12 gezeigte Stellung schwenkt, in der der Münzkanal seitlich einer Scheidewand 26 oberhalb des Münzsammlers 27 zu liegen kommt. Gleichzeitig wird der Bolzenträger 11 um eine lotrechte Achse in die in Fig. 5 gezeigte Stellung verschwenkt, sodaß die Münzen frei in den Münzsammler 27 fallen können.The entire unit consisting of the
Sollte irgendeine Störung auftreten, so kann der Bolzenträger 11 durch einen (nicht gezeichneten) Betätigungsknopf auch in der nicht angehobenen Stellung der Platte 7 (Fig. 11) in die in Fig. 5 dargestellte Lage verschwenkt werden, sodaß die Münzen auf der anderen Seite der Scheidewand 16 in die Münzrückgabe fallen.Should any malfunction occur, the
Im Rahmen der Erfindung sind noch zahlreiche Abänderungen möglich. So ist die Anzahl der einwerfenden Münzen keinesfalls auf fünf beschränkt, es könnte z.B. eine weitere Stufe nach oben für eine 10,- S Münze angeschlossen werden, bzw. könnte statt der 5,- auch eine 10,- S Münze vorgesehen sein.Numerous modifications are still possible within the scope of the invention. The number of coins inserted is by no means limited to five, e.g. a further step up for a 10, - S coin can be connected, or a 10, - S coin could be provided instead of the 5, -.
