It is proposed to arrange the coin-operated lock (11) on the grip rod (5) in such a way that an upper region (8) not taken up by the coin-operated lock (11) and extending from one grip-holding part (17) to the other grip-holding part (17) is maintained on the grip rod (5). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen von Hand bewegbaren Transportwagen, insbesondere einen Einkaufswagen, mit wenigstens einer zur Aufnahme von Ware, Gepäck und dgl. bestimmten Einrichtung und mit einer zwischen zwei Griffhalteteilen angeordneten, als Griffstange ausgebildeten Schiebeeinrichtung, die mit einem Münzschloß ausgestattet ist, das ein Ausleihen des Transportwagens auf Pfandbasis ermöglicht.The invention relates to a hand-movable transport trolley, in particular a shopping trolley, with at least one device intended for receiving goods, luggage and the like of the trolley-based trolley.

Mit Münzschlössern ausgestattete Transportwagen, insbesondere Einkaufswagen, sind weit verbreitet. Wagen dieser Art werden gewöhnlich auf Pfandbasis ausgeliehen. Sie lassen sich entweder untereinander an- und abkoppeln und/oder in Verbindung mit fest installierten Sammelstellen gezielt an verschiedenen Punkten sammeln und wieder ausleihen. Man will mit solchen Systemen verhindern, daß beispielsweise leere Einkaufswagen wahllos und unbenutzt auf Parkplätzen umherstehen.Transport trolleys equipped with coin locks, in particular shopping trolleys, are widespread. Cars of this type are usually lent on a pawn basis. They can either be coupled and decoupled from one another and / or, in conjunction with permanently installed collection points, collected and borrowed at various points. Such systems are intended to prevent, for example, empty shopping trolleys from standing randomly and unused in parking lots.

Es sind Transportwagen bekannt, bei denen das Münzschloß auf der Griffstange bevorzugt mittig angeordnet ist. Dabei ergeben sich zwei Nachteile. Der erste dieser Nachteile besteht darin, daß das Münzschloß bei entsprechender Größe störend in den Sitz- und/oder Kopfbereich eines Kindes dann ragen kann, wenn es sich beim Transportwagen um einen herkömmlichen, mit einem Kindersitz ausgestatteten Einkaufswagen handelt. Es besteht die Gefahr, daß sich im Kindersitz befindliche Kleinkinder beim Fahren des Transportwagens auf holpriger Strecke das Gesicht am Münzschloß anschlagen. Der zweite Nachteil ist darin erkennbar, daß das Münzschloß Reklamehinweise verdeckt, die sich auf der Griffstange befinden.Transport trolleys are known in which the coin lock is preferably arranged centrally on the handle bar. There are two disadvantages. The first of these disadvantages is that the coin lock can protrude disturbingly into the seat and / or head area of a child if the trolley is a conventional shopping cart equipped with a child seat. There is a risk that toddlers in the child seat will hit the face on the coin lock when driving the trolley on bumpy roads. The second disadvantage can be seen in the fact that the coin lock hides advertising messages that are located on the handle bar.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, einen Transportwagen der gattungsgemäßen Art so weiterzuentwickeln, daß die eben genannten Nachteile vermieden werden.The object of the invention is a trolley to further develop the generic type so that the disadvantages just mentioned are avoided.

Die Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das Münzschloß an der Griffstange so angeordnet ist, daß an der Griffstange ein vom Münzschloß nicht beanspruchter, von einem Griffhalteteil zum anderen Griffhalteteil sich erstreckender oberer Bereich erhalten ist.The object is achieved in that the coin lock is arranged on the handle bar so that on the handle bar an unused by the coin lock, extending from one handle holding part to another handle holding part is obtained.

Die Vorteile der erfinderischen Lösung sind unverkennbar. Das Münzschloß ragt nicht mehr in den besagten Sitzbereich, so daß sich Kleinkinder beim Fahren des Transportwagens nicht mehr den Kopf am Münzschloß anstoßen können. Ferner ist der im Sichtfeld einer den Transportwagen schiebenden Person befindliche obere Bereich der Griffstange nicht mehr vom Münzschloß unterbrochen. Die gesamte sichtbare Breite des Handgriffes kann somit zum Anbringen von Werbung oder anderer Informationen genutzt werden.The advantages of the inventive solution are unmistakable. The coin lock no longer protrudes into the said seating area, so that small children can no longer bump their heads on the coin lock when driving the trolley. Furthermore, the upper area of the handle bar located in the field of vision of a person pushing the transport carriage is no longer interrupted by the coin lock. The entire visible width of the handle can thus be used to attach advertising or other information.

Die Erfindung wird anhand von vier Ausführungsbeispielen erläutert. Es zeigt

The invention is explained using four exemplary embodiments. It shows
Fig. 1
a dolly;
Fig. 2
a coin lock which is placed on a handle bar with a non-cylindrical cross-section;
Fig. 3
a handle bar with a cylindrical cross section, which carries a coin lock and
Fig. 4
a plastic handle bar with molded coin lock housing.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Transportwagen 1 dargestellt, der in der bevorzugten Form als Einkaufswagen gestaltet ist. Andere Ausführungsformen, etwa sogenannte Plattformwagen oder Kofferkulis werden ebenfalls von der Erfindung umfaßt. Der ein Fahrgestell 2 aufweisende Transportwagen 1 ist mit einer Einrichtung 3, z.B. in Form eines Korbes, eines Behälters und/oder einer Plattform ausgestattet, die zur Aufnahme von Ware, Gepäck und dgl. bestimmt ist. An seinem rückwärtigen Ende 4 ist der Transportwagen 1 mit einer als Griffstange 5 gestalteten Schiebeeinrichtung ausgestattet. An der Griffstange 5 ist ein Münzschloß 11 bekannter Art verschiebe- und verdrehsicher so befestigt, daß die bekannte Kopplungsmechanik 14 und die ebenfalls bekannte Pfandrückhalteeinrichtung 16 unterhalb der Griffstange 5 angeordnet sind. Das Münzschloß 11 umgreift von unten her die Griffstange 5 teilweise, so daß ein durchgehender oberer Bereich 8 der Griffstange 5 erhalten bleibt, der für die bevorzugte Anbringung von Werbung 18 nutzbar bleibt. Im Beispiel ist das Münzschloß 11 in der Mitte der Griffstange 5 angeordnet. Es kann sich aber auch an jeder anderen beliebigen Stelle der Griffstange 5 befinden. Um eine ortsfeste Arretierung des Münzschlosses 11 zu erzielen, ergeben sich für den Fachmann bekannte Lösungen. Das Münzschloß 11 kann mit der Griffstange 5 verstiftet oder verschraubt sein. Gegen Verdrehen um die Längsachse 6 der Griffstange 5 bietet sich ein nichtzylindrischer Querschnitt der Griffstange 5 an. Ein Verschieben des Münzschlosses 11 entlang der Griffstange 5 läßt sich neben dem eben erwähnten Verstiften und Verschrauben auch dadurch vermeiden, daß das Münzschloß 11, wie von der Anmelderin zwischenzeitlich vorgeschlagen, mit einem der beiden an den Längsseiten des Transportwagens 1 befindlichen ortsfest angeordneten Griffhalteteilen 17 verrastet ist. In die Griffhalteteile 17 sind in bekannter Weise die Enden der Griffstange 5 eingefügt.In Fig. 1, a trolley 1 is shown, which is designed in the preferred form as a shopping cart. Other embodiments, such as so-called platform wagons or luggage trolleys, are also encompassed by the invention. The trolley 1 having a chassis 2 is provided with a device 3, for example in the form of a basket, of a container and / or a platform that is intended for receiving goods, luggage and the like. At its rear end 4, the trolley 1 is equipped with a sliding device designed as a handle bar 5. On the handle bar 5, a coin lock 11 of a known type is secured against displacement and rotation so that the known coupling mechanism 14 and the also known deposit retention device 16 are arranged below the handle bar 5. The coin lock 11 partially engages around the handle bar 5 from below, so that a continuous upper region 8 of the handle bar 5 is retained, which remains usable for the preferred attachment of advertising 18. In the example, the coin lock 11 is arranged in the middle of the handle bar 5. But it can also be located at any other desired location on the handle bar 5. In order to achieve a fixed locking of the coin lock 11, solutions are known to those skilled in the art. The coin lock 11 can be pinned or screwed to the handle bar 5. Against rotation about the longitudinal axis 6 of the handle bar 5, a non-cylindrical cross section of the handle bar 5 is appropriate. A shifting of the coin lock 11 along the handle bar 5 can be avoided in addition to the just mentioned pinning and screwing in that the coin lock 11, as suggested by the applicant in the meantime, latches with one of the two handle holding parts 17 located on the longitudinal sides of the transport carriage 1 is. In the handle holding parts 17, the ends of the handle bar 5 are inserted in a known manner.

In einem Schnitt quer zur Längsachse 6 der Griffstange 5 zeigt Fig. 2 eine Griffstange 5 mit etwa ovalem, nichtzylindrischem Querschnitt. Die Griffstange 5 trägt ein Münzschloß 11, wobei das Münzschloß 11 mit seinem Gehäuse 12 die Griffstange 5 von unten her teilweise so umgreift, daß es sich nicht mehr von selbst von der Griffstange 5 lösen kann. Das Münzschloß 11 greift mit zwei Abschnitten 13 über die mittig angeordnete horizontale Achse 7 des Querschnittes der Griffstange 5. Die variabel gestaltbare Griffstange 5 besitzt an ihrem oberen, vom Münzschloß 11 nicht beanspruchten Bereich 8 eine Vertiefung 9, in welche z.B. ein streifenförmiger Werbeträger 18 einfügbar ist, der durch einen schnappschlüssig aufsetzbaren durchsichtigen Abdeckstreifen 10 überdeckt wird.In a section transverse to the longitudinal axis 6 of the handle bar 5, FIG. 2 shows a handle bar 5 with an approximately oval, non-cylindrical cross section. The handle bar 5 carries a coin lock 11, the coin lock 11 with its housing 12 partially engages the handle bar 5 from below so that it can no longer detach itself from the handle bar 5. The coin lock 11 engages with two sections 13 over the centrally arranged horizontal axis 7 of the cross section of the handle bar 5. The handle bar 5, which can be designed variably, has a recess 9 in its upper area 8, which is not claimed by the coin lock 11, into which, for example, a strip-shaped advertising medium 18 can be inserted which is covered by a transparent cover strip 10 which can be snapped in place.

In Anlehnung an Fig. 2 zeigt Fig. 3 ebenfalls in einer Schnittdarstellung eine Griffstange 5 mit zylindrischem Querschnitt. Das Münzschloß 11 umgreift mit zwei Abschnitten 13 die Griffstange 5 von unten her teilweise, jedoch in einem Winkel von mehr als 180°. Dadurch kann sich das Münzschloß 11 nicht von selbst von der Griffstange 5 lösen. Der obere Bereich 8 der Griffstange 5 wird nicht vom Münzschloß 11 beansprucht. Die Kopplungsmechanik 14, das Kopplungsteil 15, wie auch die Pfandrückhalteeinrichtung 16 befinden sich wie bei den beiden eben beschriebenen Beispielen unterhalb der Griffstange 5. Weitere hier nicht genannte Einzelheiten, wie sie in den Figuren 1 und 2 genannt sind, lassen sich, der zylindrischen Griffstange 5 entsprechend angepaßt, in einer für den Fachmann geläufigen Weise auch auf dieses Ausführungsbeispiel übertragen.Based on FIG. 2, FIG. 3 also shows a sectional view of a handle bar 5 with a cylindrical cross section. The coin lock 11 encompasses the handle bar 5 with two sections 13 from below partially, but at an angle of more than 180 °. As a result, the coin lock 11 cannot detach itself from the handle bar 5. The upper area 8 of the handle bar 5 is not claimed by the coin lock 11. The coupling mechanism 14, the coupling part 15, and also the deposit retention device 16 are located below the handle bar 5, as in the two examples just described. Further details not mentioned here, as mentioned in FIGS. 1 and 2, can be found in the cylindrical handle bar 5 adapted accordingly, in a manner familiar to those skilled in the art also transferred to this embodiment.

Fig. 4 zeigt in einem Schnitt quer zur Längsachse 6 eine aus Kunststoff gefertigte Griffstange 5 mit daran angeformtem Gehäuse 12 des Münzschlosses 11. Dieses Ausführungsbeispiel lehnt sich an jene Ausführungen an, die in der DE 37 14 115 C2 beschrieben sind. Im Gehäuse 12 des Münzschlosses 11 befindet sich die Kopplungsmechanik 14. Ein flexibel gelagertes Kopplungsteil 15 ist am Gehäuse 12 des Münzschlosses 11 befestigt. Das Gehäuse 12 des Münzschlosses 11 ist an der Griffstange 5 so angeordnet, daß ebenfalls im oberen, vom Münzschloß 11 nicht beanspruchten Bereich 8 eine durchgehende, in Längsrichtung der Griffstange 5 sich erstreckende Vertiefung 9 zur Aufnahme eines streifenförmigen Werbeträgers 18 gebildet ist, die von einem schnappschlüssig aufsetzbaren durchsichtigen Abdeckstreifen 10 überdeckt wird. Es bleibt somit auch bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ein durchgehender oberer Bereich 8 der Griffstange 5 erhalten, der zur Anbringung von Werbung oder sonstiger Informationen nutzbar ist. Der Bereich 8 erstreckt sich, wie bei den vorausgehend beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispielen ebenfalls, von einem Griffhalteteil 17 zum anderen Griffhalteteil 17.Fig. 4 shows in a cross section to the longitudinal axis 6 a plastic handle bar 5 with molded housing 12 of the coin lock 11. This embodiment is based on those designs described in DE 37 14 115 C2. The coupling mechanism 14 is located in the housing 12 of the coin lock 11. A flexibly mounted coupling part 15 is fastened to the housing 12 of the coin lock 11. The housing 12 of the coin lock 11 is arranged on the handle bar 5 so that also In the upper region 8, which is not claimed by the coin lock 11, a continuous recess 9, extending in the longitudinal direction of the handle bar 5, for receiving a strip-shaped advertising medium 18 is formed, which is covered by a transparent cover strip 10 which can be snapped in place. A continuous upper area 8 of the handle bar 5 is therefore also retained in this exemplary embodiment, which can be used for attaching advertising or other information. The area 8 extends, as in the exemplary embodiments described above, from one handle holding part 17 to the other handle holding part 17.

In den eben aufgeführten Beispielen wurde auf eine nähere Beschreibung der Kopplungsmechanik 14 nebst dem zur Kopplungsmechanik 14 zählenden flexibel gelagerten Kopplungsteil 15, sowie auf die Beschreibung der Pfandrückhalteeinrichtung 16 verzichtet, da es die Erfindung ohne weiteres zuläßt, verschiedene bekannte Ausführungsformen der eben erwähnten Mechaniken 14 und Einrichtungen 16 im Sinne des erfindungsgemäßen Gedankens vorzusehen. So kann anstelle eines bevorzugten flexiblen Kopplungsteiles 15 ein starres Kopplungsteil am Münzschloß angeordnet sein. Ebenso kann die Pfandrückhalteeinrichtung 16 auf die Verwendung von Münzen, Münzersatzstücken und/oder auf Scheckkarten oder scheckkartenähnliche Pfandmarken abgestimmt sein. Auch ist es möglich, die Kopplungsmechanik 14 und die Pfandrückhalteeinrichtung 16 in einer Kassette vereint, im Gehäuse 12 des Münzschlosses 11 ortsfest unterzubringen.In the examples just mentioned, a more detailed description of the coupling mechanism 14, in addition to the flexibly mounted coupling part 15, which is part of the coupling mechanism 14, and the description of the deposit retention device 16 were dispensed with, since the invention readily permits various known embodiments of the mechanics 14 and 14 just mentioned To provide devices 16 in the sense of the inventive idea. Thus, instead of a preferred flexible coupling part 15, a rigid coupling part can be arranged on the coin lock. The deposit retention device 16 can also be matched to the use of coins, coin replacement pieces and / or to credit cards or deposit cards similar to credit cards. It is also possible to combine the coupling mechanism 14 and the deposit retention device 16 in a cassette in a stationary manner in the housing 12 of the coin lock 11.
