Le brevet français 81 22384 décrit une serrure à déclenchement par pièce de monnaie propre à être installée sur un chariot faisant partie d'un système de chariots, en particulier des chariots à emplettes et à bagages. Cette serrure est conçue pour libérer un chariot attaché par introduction d'une pièce de monnaie et pour restituer la pièce de monnaie déposée lorsque le chariot est ramené en place. La serrure comporte deux trous destinés à recevoir des clés distinctes dont l'une est attachée au chariot sur laquelle la serrure est montée ; cette clef est agencée pour recevoir une pièce de monnaie et pour débloquer un trou de serrure après introduction.French patent 81 22384 describes a coin-operated lock suitable for being installed on a trolley forming part of a trolley system, in particular shopping trolleys and luggage trolleys. This lock is designed to release a carriage attached by insertion of a coin and to return the coin deposited when the carriage is brought back into place. The lock has two holes for receiving separate keys, one of which is attached to the carriage on which the lock is mounted; this key is arranged to receive a coin and to unlock a keyhole after introduction.

Chaque trou de serrure comporte une gorge propre à fixer un mentonnet dans une position de blocage dans un des trous de serrure pour retenir une clé qui y est introduite. Le mentonnet peut être déplacé à partir de sa position de blocage vers une position de blocage d'un autre trou de serrure au moyen d'éléments d'arrêt qui font saillie dans des trous de serrure distincts et peuvent être actionnés par une clef introduite dans le trou de serrure correspondant.Each keyhole has a groove suitable for fixing a chin in a locking position in one of the keyholes to retain a key which is inserted therein. The chuck can be moved from its blocking position to a blocking position of another keyhole by means of stop elements which protrude into separate keyholes and can be actuated by a key inserted in the corresponding keyhole.

Dans ces serrures connues, le mentonnet pivote librement sur un pivot transversal par rapport au sens d'introduction des clefs entre les deux positions correspondant au blocage de l'une ou de l'autre clef.In these known locks, the handle pivots freely on a transverse pivot relative to the direction of insertion of the keys between the two positions corresponding to the blocking of one or the other key.

En référence aux figures 1 à 3, un boîtier 1 de dispositif selon l'invention est sensiblement symétrique par rapport à un plan reperé par sa trace en traits mixtes fins X-X sur la figure 1. Des fentes de clefs 2 et 3 sont ménagées sur des faces opposées du boîtier 1, en position sensiblement symétrique par rapport au plan X-X, qui est un plan commun perpendiculaire aux deux fentes.Referring to Figures 1 to 3, a device housing 1 according to the invention is substantially symmetrical with respect to a plane marked by its trace in thin broken lines XX in Figure 1. Key slots 2 and 3 are provided on opposite faces of the housing 1, in position substantially symmetrical with respect to the plane XX, which is a common plane perpendicular to the two slots.

Le boîtier 1 comporte un logement 4 de contour cylindrique correspondant au contour d'une pièce de consignation. Un verrou central 5 débouche dans le logement sous l'action d'un ressort 6 disposé dans une chambre 7 formant logement de compression. Le verrou 5 comporte une butée 8 venant en appui sur une lame séparatrice 9 disposée sensiblement dans un plan Y perpendiculaire au plan X-X précité.The housing 1 comprises a housing 4 of cylindrical outline corresponding to the outline of a deposit coin. A central lock 5 opens into the housing under the action of a spring 6 disposed in a chamber 7 forming a compression housing. The latch 5 comprises a stop 8 which comes to bear on a separating blade 9 arranged substantially in a plane Y perpendicular to the aforementioned plane XX.

La lame de séparation 9 correspond également à l'appui d'une butée 10 d'un verrou latéral 11 soumis à l'action d'un ressort 12 disposé dans un logement 13 : ainsi, le verrou latéral 11 et le verrou central 5 se déplacent de part et d'autre de la lame de séparation 9 entre une position d'appui sur cette lame 9 et une position correspondant à la compression totale des ressorts 6 et 12.The separation blade 9 also corresponds to the support of a stop 10 of a lateral lock 11 subjected to the action of a spring 12 disposed in a housing 13: thus, the lateral lock 11 and the central lock 5 are move on either side of the separation blade 9 between a support position on this blade 9 and a position corresponding to the total compression of the springs 6 and 12.

Les organes de verrouillage 5 et 11 sont ainsi déplaçables selon une translation sensiblement parallèle à la direction d'introduction de la clé dans les fentes 2 et 3. Ces organes 5 et 11 verrouillent des cliquets 14 et 15 déplaçables selon une direction de translation sensiblement perpendiculaire au sens d'introduction de la clef. Les cliquets 14 et 15 constituent un moyen d'encliquetage des clefs introduites dans le boîtier.The locking members 5 and 11 are thus movable in a translation substantially parallel to the direction of insertion of the key into the slots 2 and 3. These members 5 and 11 lock pawls 14 and 15 movable in a translation direction substantially perpendicular in the sense of introduction of the key. The pawls 14 and 15 constitute a means for snap-fasting the keys introduced into the housing.

Le verrouillage des cliquets 14 et 15 a ensuite pour conséquence de verrouiller les clefs encliquetées.Locking the pawls 14 and 15 then has the consequence of locking the latched keys.

Les cliquets 14 et 15 présentent tous deux une forme en H avec deux branches 14a, 14b (respectivement 15a, 15b) réunis par une traverse 14c (respectivement 15c). La branche 14a (15a) qui constitue une des jambes du H est en forme de barreau sensiblement parallèlépipèdique, tandis que l'autre jambe comporte deux plans intérieurs, 18, 19 (respectivement 20, 21) orientés en sens inverse l'un et l'autre selon des angles correspondant à des plans inclinés de logement d'engagement des clefs.The pawls 14 and 15 both have an H shape with two branches 14a, 14b (respectively 15a, 15b) joined by a crosspiece 14c (respectively 15c). The branch 14a (15a) which constitutes one of the legs of the H is in the form of a substantially parallelepiped bar, while the other leg has two interior planes, 18, 19 (respectively 20, 21) oriented in opposite directions, one and the other. 'other according to angles corresponding to inclined planes of key engagement housing.

Le verrou latéral 11 passe entre les jambes ou branches 14a et 14b ainsi que 15a et 15b. Un verrou latéral 11 est muni d'une tête 22 pourvue d'un plan incliné 23, de manière à maintenir un barreau 15a dans une position correspondant à la poussée du ressort 17, ou à comprimer le ressort 12 dans le logement 13 et permettre ainsi au cliquet 15 de se déplacer en comprimant le ressort 17.The lateral lock 11 passes between the legs or branches 14a and 14b as well as 15a and 15b. A lateral lock 11 is provided with a head 22 provided with an inclined plane 23, so as to maintain a bar 15a in a position corresponding to the thrust of the spring 17, or to compress the spring 12 in the housing 13 and thus allow the pawl 15 to move by compressing the spring 17.

De manière analogue, le verrou central 5 extérieur aux formes en H, 14 et 15, appuie sur les pièces en H au moyen d'une tête 24 pourvue de plans inclinés 25. De préférence, cet organe de verrouillage central 5 présente une forme symétrique par rapport au plan symétrique X-X identique : Cette forme correspond par exemple sensiblement à l'accolement des formes de deux verrous latéraux 11 le long du plan médian longitudinal de symétrie X-X du dispositif.Likewise, the central central latch 5 with H-shaped shapes 14 and 15 presses on the H-shaped parts by means of a head 24 provided with inclined planes 25. From this central locking member 5 preferably has a symmetrical shape with respect to the identical symmetrical plane XX: This shape corresponds for example substantially to the joining of the shapes of two lateral latches 11 along the longitudinal median plane of symmetry XX of the device.

Un taraudage 26 ou un moyen équivalent est réalisé sur un côté du boîtier pour fixer une enveloppe extérieure non représentée.A female thread 26 or equivalent means is produced on one side of the housing to fix an external envelope, not shown.

Compte-tenu des symétries géométriques, ou du fait que les seuls mouvements du dispositif sont des mouvements de translations perpendiculaires les uns aux autres, on comprend que le nombre de cliquets et de verrous peut être augmenté.Given the geometric symmetries, or the fact that the only movements of the device are movements of translations perpendicular to each other, it is understood that the number of pawls and latches can be increased.

Un mode de réalisation préféré du dispositif comporte deux cliquets 14 et deux cliquets 15 disposés symétriquement de part et d'autre du plan X-X, un verrou central 5 muni par exemple d'un seul ressort 6 et deux verrous latéraux 11 disposés symétriquement par rapport au plan médian X-X, la lame de séparation 9 s'étendant alors transversalement et symétriquement par rapport au sens d'introduction des clefs en étant fabriquée d'une seule pièce munie des ouvertures correspondantes pour le passage des verrous 5, 11 et des clefs comme on le verra plus loin en référence aux figures 4 à 13.A preferred embodiment of the device comprises two pawls 14 and two pawls 15 arranged symmetrically on either side of the plane XX, a central latch 5 provided for example with a single spring 6 and two lateral latches 11 arranged symmetrically with respect to the median plane XX, the separating blade 9 then extending transversely and symmetrically with respect to the direction of insertion of the keys, being made in one piece provided with the corresponding openings for the passage of the latches 5, 11 and of the keys as will see it later with reference to FIGS. 4 to 13.

Avantageusement, la lame de séparation 9, au lieu d'être indépendante du corps du boîtier 1, vient de matière d'une seule pièce avec celui-ci en subsistant après usinage ou moulage des empreintes correspondant au mouvement des cliquets, des verrous et des logements de ressorts.Advantageously, the separation blade 9, instead of being independent of the body of the housing 1, comes integrally in one piece with it, remaining after machining or molding of the impressions corresponding to the movement of the pawls, latches and spring housings.

En référence aux figures 4 à 8, une clef 27a munie d'une pièce de consignation 28 présente une forme de U. Le logement 29 de la pièce est disposé intérieurement à la forme en U et présente une forme cylindrique complémentaire du logement 4 réalisé dans le boîtier 1. Une des jambes du U comporte un plan incliné 30 adjacent à un logement d'encliquetage 31 et du côté opposé un cran 32 d'appui sur un verrou latéral 11, la clef 27b démunie de pièce de consignation est encliquetée par la jambe 14b du cliquet 14 en H s'engageant dans le logement 31b, la jambe 14b est verrouillée par la tête 24 du verrou central 5, qui verrouille ainsi simultanément le cliquet 14 et la clef 27b. Du fait que la tête 22 du verrou latéral 11 est rétractée dans le logement 13, la forme en H 15 peut se déplacer à l'encontre du ressort 17.Referring to Figures 4 to 8, a key 27a provided with a locking piece 28 has a U-shape. The housing 29 of the part is arranged internally in the U-shape and has a cylindrical shape complementary to the housing 4 produced in the housing 1. One of the legs of the U has an inclined plane 30 adjacent to a latching housing 31 and on the opposite side a notch 32 bearing on a lateral bolt 11, the key 27b devoid of part lockout is latched by the leg 14b of the pawl 14 in H engaging in the housing 31b, the leg 14b is locked by the head 24 of the central lock 5, which thus simultaneously locks the pawl 14 and the key 27b. Because the head 22 of the lateral lock 11 is retracted in the housing 13, the H-shape 15 can move against the spring 17.

En référence à la figure 5, lorsque l'on introduit la clef 27a dans la fente correspondante du boîtier 1, la pièce de consignation 28 appuie indirectement par son diamètre sur le verrou central 5 qui recule ainsi dans le logement 7 en comprimant le ressort 6. De ce fait le plan incliné 25 arrive au droit du barreau 14b, ce qui constitue le début de la phase de déverrouillage de la pièce en H 14. Cependant, la pièce en H 14 continue à encliqueter la clef 27b du fait qu'elle est soumis à la pression du ressort 16 disposé en position centrale.With reference to FIG. 5, when the key 27a is inserted into the corresponding slot in the housing 1, the locking piece 28 indirectly presses by its diameter on the central lock 5 which thus moves back into the housing 7 by compressing the spring 6 Therefore the inclined plane 25 arrives at the right of the bar 14b, which constitutes the beginning of the unlocking phase of the H-piece 14. However, the H-piece 14 continues to engage the key 27b because it is subjected to the pressure of the spring 16 disposed in the central position.

En référence à la figure 6, le plan incliné 30 de la clef 27a s'engage sur le plan incliné 19 du barreau 14 et fait reculer celui-ci tandis que le barreau 15b arrive en position d'encliquetage dans le logement 31a de la clef 27a. Dans cette position, le dispositif est entièrement symétrique et les deux clefs 27a et 27b sont encliquetées simultanément sous la pression des ressorts 16 et 17 correspondants. Les cliquets 14 et 15 ne sont pas verrouillés : on ne peut cependant pas retirer ces clefs 27a ou 27b car les arêtes correspondantes des barreaux 14b et 15b restent engagées à l'intérieur des logements 31b et 31a.With reference to FIG. 6, the inclined plane 30 of the key 27a engages on the inclined plane 19 of the bar 14 and makes it move back while the bar 15b arrives in the snap position in the housing 31a of the key 27a. In this position, the device is entirely symmetrical and the two keys 27a and 27b are snapped simultaneously under the pressure of the corresponding springs 16 and 17. The pawls 14 and 15 are not locked: these keys 27a or 27b cannot however be removed because the corresponding edges of the bars 14b and 15b remain engaged inside the housings 31b and 31a.

En référence à la figure 7, l'engagement complet de la clef 27a repousse entièrement le barreau 14b qui se dégage du logement 31b et libère la clef 27b désencliquetée. Le verrou 11 se détend alors sous l'action du ressort 12 et repousse la clef hors du boîtier par appui sur l'arête 32.Referring to Figure 7, the full engagement of the key 27a fully pushes the bar 14b which emerges from the housing 31b and releases the key 27b disengaged. The lock 11 then relaxes under the action of the spring 12 and pushes the key out of the housing by pressing on the edge 32.

En référence à la figure 8 après sortie complète de la clef 27b, le barreau 15b du cliquet 15 est engagé dans l'espace 31a de la clef 27a. Le cliquet 15 dont le barreau 15a parallélépipèdique est bloqué par la tête 22 du verrou 11 est totalement verrouillé, ce qui assure simultanément le verrouillage de la clef 27a emprisonnant ainsi la pièce de consignation 28 dans les logements 29 et 4 respectivement du boîtier 1 et de la clef 27a.Referring to Figure 8 after complete release of the key 27b, the bar 15b of the pawl 15 is engaged in the space 31a of the key 27a. The pawl 15 including the bar 15a parallelepiped is blocked by the head 22 of the latch 11 is fully locked, which simultaneously ensures the locking of the key 27a thus trapping the locking piece 28 in the housings 29 and 4 respectively of the housing 1 and the key 27a.

En référence aux figures 9 à 13, une clef 27a munie d'une pièce de consignation 28 est verrouillée dans un boîtier 1, tandis qu'une clef 27b dont le logement 29 de pièce de consignation est vide est présenté en face de la fente 3 d'introduction. De préférence, les clefs 27a et 27b sont identiques : chaque clef comporte un logement de pièce 29 qui est à l'intérieur de la forme en U. Le logement de pièce 29 est éventuellement amovible pour être remplacé par un logement adapté à une autre forme de pièce de consignation. Dans la position représentée à la figure 9, la tête 22 du verrou 11 verrouille simultanément le cliquet 15 et la clef 27a.With reference to FIGS. 9 to 13, a key 27a provided with a lockout piece 28 is locked in a housing 1, while a key 27b whose housing of lockout piece is empty is presented opposite the slot 3 of introduction. Preferably, the keys 27a and 27b are identical: each key has a part housing 29 which is inside the U-shape. The part housing 29 is optionally removable to be replaced by a housing adapted to another form consignment document. In the position shown in Figure 9, the head 22 of the latch 11 simultaneously locks the pawl 15 and the key 27a.

En référence à la figure 10, l'introduction de la clef 27b provoque le recul du verrou 11 par appui de l'extrémité 32 de la clef 27b, ce qui a pour effet de repousser la tête 22 dans le logement 13 en comprimant le ressort 12. Dans cette position, le plan incliné 23 de la tête 22 arrive au droit du barreau parallèlépipédique 15a, ce qui correspond au déverrouillage du cliquet 15. La clef 27a reste encliquetée dans le boîtier, tandis que la clef 27b n'est pas encore encliquetée par le plan incliné 18 du barreau 14b coopérant avec le logement 31b.With reference to FIG. 10, the introduction of the key 27b causes the lock 11 to recede by pressing the end 32 of the key 27b, which has the effect of pushing the head 22 back into the housing 13 by compressing the spring. 12. In this position, the inclined plane 23 of the head 22 arrives at the right of the parallelepiped bar 15a, which corresponds to the unlocking of the pawl 15. The key 27a remains snapped into the housing, while the key 27b is not yet latched by the inclined plane 18 of the bar 14b cooperating with the housing 31b.

En référence à la figure 11, en enfonçant davantage la clef 27b dans la fente 3, on arrive à une position d'encliquetage simultané des clefs 27a, 27b par des barreaux 15b et 14b, des cliquets 14 et 15 déverrouillés, identique à la position décrite en référence à la figure 6. Dans cette position, le plan 21 du barreau 15 après avoir glissé sur le plan d'engagement 30 de la clef 27a et retenue dans le logement 31a tandis que le plan incliné 18 du barreau 14b est retenu dans le logement 31b de la clef 27b.With reference to FIG. 11, by further pressing the key 27b into the slot 3, one arrives at a position of simultaneous latching of the keys 27a, 27b by bars 15b and 14b, pawls 14 and 15 unlocked, identical to the position described with reference to FIG. 6. In this position, the plane 21 of the bar 15 after sliding on the engagement plane 30 of the key 27a and retained in the housing 31a while the inclined plane 18 of the bar 14b is retained in the housing 31b of the key 27b.

En référence à la figure 12, en enfonçant à fond la clef 27b, le plan incliné 30b vient appuyer sur le plan incliné 20 et fait ainsi reculer le cliquet 15 en comprimant le ressort 17, ce qui a pour effet de désengager le plan incliné 21 du logement 31a de la clef 27a. La clef 27a ainsi désencliquetée est soumise à la poussée du verrou central 5 soumis à l'action du ressort 6 qui se détend dans son logement 8 et éjecte ainsi la clef 27a hors du boîtier 1.With reference to FIG. 12, by fully depressing the key 27b, the inclined plane 30b presses on the inclined plane 20 and thus causes the pawl 15 to move back by compressing the spring 17, which has the effect of disengaging the inclined plane 21 of the housing 31a of the key 27a. The key 27a thus disengaged is subjected to the thrust of the central lock 5 subjected to the action of the spring 6 which relaxes in its housing 8 and thus ejects the key 27a from the housing 1.

En référence à la figure 13, le ressort 6 applique la tête 24 du verrou central 5 contre l'extérieur du barreau 14b du cliquet 14 en H et verrouille cette pièce 14 en H 14 en position. Le cliquet 14 engagé dans le logement 31b de la clef 27b retient donc celle-ci en position. La coopération du verrou 5 et du cliquet 14 assure ainsi le verrouillage parfait de la clef 27b démunie de pièce de consignation.Referring to Figure 13, the spring 6 applies the head 24 of the central latch 5 against the outside of the bar 14b of the pawl 14 in H and locks this part 14 in H 14 in position. The pawl 14 engaged in the housing 31b of the key 27b therefore retains the latter in position. The cooperation of the latch 5 and the pawl 14 thus ensures perfect locking of the key 27b devoid of deposit.

L'invention décrite en référence à un mode de réalisation particulier concernant un boîtier sensiblement symétrique muni de deux fentes disposées sur des faces opposées et sensiblement parallèles l'une à l'autre n'est nullement limitée à cette réalisation mais englobe au contraire toute modification de forme et toute variante de réalisation dans le cadre et dans l'esprit de l'invention, c'est-à-dire dans lequel le verrouillage de clef se fait par la combinaison de mouvements de translation, d'orientation parallèles et perpendiculaires à la direction d'introduction d'une clef.The invention described with reference to a particular embodiment relating to a substantially symmetrical housing provided with two slots arranged on opposite faces and substantially parallel to one another is in no way limited to this embodiment but on the contrary encompasses any modification of form and any variant in the context and in the spirit of the invention, that is to say in which the key locking is done by the combination of translational movements, of orientation parallel and perpendicular to the direction of introduction of a key.

L'invention est particulièrement utile pour l'amarrage d'un chariot encastrable comportant un dispositif de consignation et une clef reliée par une chaîne ou un lien souple analogue au chariot encastrable. Cependant toute autre utilisation relative à une consignation au moyen d'une pièce insérée dans le logement d'une clef adaptée à cet effet fait entièrement partie de la présente invention.The invention is particularly useful for mooring a built-in cart comprising a locking device and a key connected by a chain or a flexible link similar to the built-in cart. However, any other use relating to a deposit by means of a part inserted in the housing of a key adapted for this purpose is entirely part of the present invention.
