Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for delimiting shopping trolleys pushed into one another in rows between lateral guide elements, for use with coin deposit systems, a lateral guide element on the one hand and each shopping trolley on the other hand having cooperating control or locking elements which only make it possible to couple a shopping trolley to the shopping trolley row when the shopping trolley is in use has exceeded a defined coupling position in the effective range of the control and locking elements.
  • Such a device is known for example from EP 0433751 A1, so that the explanation of the basic problem and the problems associated with it can be dispensed with here.
  • control elements are formed by at least one magnet and the locking elements can be brought into interaction with its magnetic field, the locking elements being arranged on the shopping cart and the magnet on at least one of the guide elements and positioning the magnet and locking elements relative to one another in this way are that when moving a shopping cart in the effective range of the magnetic field, the locking elements are movable between a locking position and a release position, and the release position can only be reached when the shopping cart reaches the coupling position K between the guide elements.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention consists in attaching the magnet to the lateral guide elements and the blocking elements within the coin deposit systems guided there, in such a way that when Passing the coin deposit systems past the magnet whose magnetic field controls the locking elements depending on the position of the shopping cart in its locking position or its release position.
  • the arrangement of the locking elements themselves is advantageously chosen so that they directly or indirectly control the function of the coin deposit system in the sense that an activation of the coin deposit system, i.e.
  • the return of a deposit coin when a shopping cart is reconnected to a shopping range can only take place if the Shopping carts can be pushed far enough into the (not yet filled) shopping cart row that under the effect of the magnetic field the blocking elements of the coin deposit system Allow the deposit coin to be released, for example by inserting a key provided by the adjacent shopping cart into the key slot of the coin deposit system and releasing the deposit coin there.
  • the locking elements can be integrated into the housing of the coin deposit system in any shape and position, and the locking or release function can be carried out by intervening in movable, conventional functional parts, in adaptation to the individual type of coin deposit system used.
  • the constructive design of the locking elements themselves and the conception of their two required positions, locking and release position consists in the creation of a movement sequence of a functional part, the two end positions of which then define the locking position and the release position.
  • This can involve swiveling movements, for example a predetermined angular range, but also shifting or combined swiveling-sliding movements, provided that the component used in the two end positions (under the influence of the magnetic field) that can be clearly reached perform the corresponding locking and release function can.
  • Various constructive solutions can be used for this, for example balls, shafts, lifting cylinders, swivel arms and the like, without this being exhaustive.
  • a permanent magnet or an electromagnet can be used as the magnet, the latter possibly having the advantage that the entire system can be deactivated by switching off the power supply.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show a top view and a front view of a row of shopping carts consisting of several shopping carts 10, which are coupled to one another between lateral guide elements 11A, 11B, for which purpose the keys 20A of coin deposit systems 20 arranged laterally next to the handle are inserted into the adjacent coin deposit system 20 must be removed in order to remove the deposit coin or, conversely, a coin must be inserted as a deposit in order to remove the associated key and to release the shopping cart from the row for removal. It is desirable that this function is only guaranteed if the last shopping cart 10 has reached a coupling position K within the area between the lateral guide elements 11A, 11B, that is, if only in this position can a recoupling be carried out with the return of the deposit coin.
  • the invention provides that a magnet 30 is arranged at the same height as the coin deposit systems 20 and on the side guide element 11A immediately adjacent to it, the magnetic field M of which is strong enough to such components in the coin deposit systems 20 that are responsive to magnetic interaction to act that these function as blocking elements, ie that depending on the position of the respective coin deposit system 20 relative to the magnet 30 or to its magnetic field M, these blocking elements selectively control these functions.
  • the locking elements and their interaction be designed with the magnetic field M so that its release position (ie deposit coin return when recoupling) is only reached when the shopping cart 10 is located behind the coupling position K, that is in the desired position between the two lateral guide elements 11A, 11B.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show how this principle is to be implemented, FIG. 3 representing the release position and FIG. 4 the blocking position:
  • FIG. 3 representing the release position
  • FIG. 4 the blocking position:
  • inside the coin deposit system 20 there is a shaft 21 through which, for example, the coin itself or the key 20A can be inserted and / or removed and the coin deposit system can thus be actuated .
  • this function should now either be prevented (shopping cart outside the coupling position) or allowed (shopping cart behind the coupling line K).
  • a blocking element in the form of a toggle switch 40 with a The axis of rotation is mounted so that it can be pivoted through an angular range of approximately 90 ° perpendicular to the plane of the drawing, such that one end 42 in the release position (FIG. 3) does not impair the shaft 21, but in the locked position (FIG. 4) protrudes into the shaft 21 and the passage a key or a coin is blocked by this slot.
  • the other end 41 of the toggle switch 40 is, for example, itself provided with a magnet which interacts appropriately with the magnetic field M of the stationary magnet 30, the two magnets in the illustrated embodiment attracting one another in order to achieve the desired function .
  • FIG. 5 shows a second exemplary embodiment of a locking element, the illustration of the magnet being omitted here:
  • a first, magnetic locking element 50A of elongated, rounded at its end faces is arranged in a V-shaped guide channel 51 such that it under the action of the magnetic field M its two “switching positions" by sliding back and forth in this guide channel 51 in the direction of shown arrows can be realized, the position shown hatched in Figure 5, the locking position S and the dashed position should represent the release position F.
  • FIGS. 1 shows a second exemplary embodiment of a locking element, the illustration of the magnet being omitted here:
  • a first, magnetic locking element 50A of elongated, rounded at its end faces is arranged in a V-shaped guide channel 51 such that it under the action of the magnetic field M its two “switching positions" by sliding back and forth in this guide channel 51 in the direction of shown arrows can be realized, the position shown hatched in Figure 5, the locking position S and the dashed position should represent
  • the magnetically sensitive first blocking element 50A does not directly act on a functional component of the coin deposit system 20, but in turn a second (usually non-magnetic) blocking element 50B, which in the exemplary embodiment is implemented as a ball, whereby this Loading so that in the release position F of the first magnetic locking element 50A, the second locking element 50B can also be in a release position F '(i.e. does not engage in the shaft 21), whereas when the first magnetic locking element 50A is switched under the effect of the Magnetic field M in its locking position S also by corresponding mechanical action, the second locking element 50B, the ball, is pressed out into a locking position S ', where it can then influence the functional components of the coin deposit system in the desired sense to lock the same.
  • a second (usually non-magnetic) blocking element 50B which in the exemplary embodiment is implemented as a ball, whereby this Loading so that in the release position F of the first magnetic locking element 50A, the second locking element 50B can also be in a release position F
  • FIG. 6 finally shows a concrete application of such an embodiment according to FIG. 5:
  • a longitudinal section through a conventional coin deposit system 20 (coin lock) is shown, in which the key 20A of the adjacent coin lock must be inserted into the key slot 21, where the key 20A then actuates locking devices 22 in its end position, which in particular actuates the coin for withdrawal in the withdrawal area E. release.
  • These locking devices 22 are of conventional design with the aid of locking bolts, springs and the like and do not need to be explained in more detail here. It is crucial that the two locking elements 50A, 50B are arranged in the entrance area of the guide shaft 21, specifically in their locking position in FIG. 6.
  • the second locking element 50B protruding into the key slot 21 reduces the cross section of the key slot 21 to such an extent that the key 20A can no longer be fully inserted into the key slot 21, but in the locking position S shown on the second locking element 50B nudges.
  • the key 20A can no longer actuate the locking device 22 for releasing the coin and it follows that outside the desired coupling position within the lateral guide elements 11A, 11B, removal of the deposit coin from the coin lock is reliably prevented. Only when the coin lock 20 is reinserted into an admissible coupling position under the action of the magnetic field M. the magnetic locking element 50A returns to its release position F (FIG.
  • the second locking element 50B can then be pressed back under the action of the front shoulder of the key 20A into the space provided for it in the housing of the coin lock.
  • the key can then be advanced to its front, dashed position, activate the locking device 22 for the coin and this can then be removed from the coin lock.
