Abstract

The coin operated lock is mounted on the handle (4) of a trolley, and has a box (1) containing a lock mechanism. The lock is released by insertion of a coin, which is trapped until the trolley is attached again to a chain at the required location. A tongue on the end of the fixed chain serves as a key to release the coin, becoming trapped as it does so. The lock is attached to the handle by a deformable clip (3) that fits under the handle. The side of the clip are curved to fit over the curvature of the handle. The top edges of the clip are bent horizontally, and have slots to accept tongues that project down from the lock housing. The clip is made of a deformable metal strip, which has perforations to allow it to be gripped by a tool that allows the band to be pulled tight against the handle, ensuring tight clamping of the lock unit on the handle.

Description

Ageareil de consigne pour chariots à fixation par bride
L'invention concerne un appareil de consigne pour chariots agencé pour être monté sur une poignée de chariot et comprenant un boîtier contenant un mécanisme de serrure à consigne, une ouverture d'introduction d'une clé d'un appareil identique dans ledit boîtier pour libérer une consigne, une fente d'introduction d'une consigne pour déverrouiller la clé d'un autre dispositif de consigne, une clé reliée au chariot par un lien souple et une bride de fixation du boîtier sur la poignée du chariot.Deposit Ageareil for Flange Mounted Carts
The invention relates to a deposit device for trolleys arranged to be mounted on a handle of a trolley and comprising a box containing a deposit lock mechanism, an opening for inserting a key of an identical device in said box to release a deposit, a slot for introducing a deposit to unlock the key of another deposit device, a key connected to the carriage by a flexible link and a bracket for fixing the housing to the handle of the carriage.

Ces appareils ont connu un développement important pour réguler la disponibilité des chariots à des emplacements prédéterminés dans des magasins, des gares, des aérogares, etc.These devices have undergone significant development to regulate the availability of trolleys at predetermined locations in shops, stations, terminals, etc.

Un problème important de ces dispositifs de consigne connus est leur montage sur la poignée. En effet, les poignées de tels chariots, qui sont en général cylindriques de révolution, ont des dimensions et des constitutions variables, de sorte que le montage doit être fait par du personnel spécialisé capable d'adapter les dispositifs de consigne aux différents types de poignée, en général par introduction de cales.A major problem with these known deposit devices is their mounting on the handle. Indeed, the handles of such carriages, which are generally cylindrical of revolution, have variable dimensions and constitutions, so that the assembly must be done by specialized personnel capable of adapting the deposit devices to the different types of handle. , in general by introducing shims.

Un autre problème est celui du blocage en rotation de l'appareil de consigne sur une poignée à section circulaire. En effet, le serrage par une bride serrée contre le boîtier au moyen de vis, procédé habituellement utilisé, ne suffit pas pour un blocage durable, de sorte qu'il est nécessaire de prévoir un blocage radial, par exemple au moyen de picots destinés à l'enfoncer dans la "chair" de la poignée sous l'effet du serrage. Le serrage par des vis est souvent insuffisant pour assurer le blocage, au moins après une certaine période d'utilisation au cours de laquelle les vis ont tendance à se desserrer.Another problem is that of the rotation lock of the deposit device on a handle with circular section. In fact, tightening by a flange tightened against the housing by means of screws, a method usually used, is not sufficient for lasting locking, so that it is necessary to provide for radial locking, for example by means of pins intended to push it into the "flesh" of the handle under the effect of tightening. Tightening by screws is often insufficient to ensure locking, at least after a certain period of use during which the screws tend to loosen.

Pour pallier cet inconvénient, on a proposé de fixer l'appareil de consigne au moyen de vis traversant la poignée. Cette solution nécessite des perçages délicats et endommage la poignée de façon irréversible.To overcome this drawback, it has been proposed to fix the deposit device by means of screws passing through the handle. This solution requires delicate drilling and irreversibly damages the handle.

La présente invention vise à permettre un montage facile d'un appareil de consigne sur des poignées de diamètre et/ou de constitution variables, avec un serrage sûr et durable interdisant toute rotation.The present invention aims to allow easy mounting of a deposit device on handles of variable diameter and / or constitution, with a secure and durable tightening preventing any rotation.

A cet effet, l'appareil de consigne selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que ladite bride est constituée par une bande déformable ancrée en au moins deux points du boîtier, de part et d'autre de la poignée.To this end, the deposit device according to the invention is characterized in that said flange is constituted by a deformable strip anchored at at least two points on the housing, on either side of the handle.

L'utilisation d'une bande déformable permet d'assurer de manière simple une pression élevée du boîtier contre la poignée assurant une fixation stable et durable. De préférence, le boîtier est muni, de manière connue en soi, de picots d'ancrage sur sa surface en contact avec la barre. Cette solution assure un renforcement du blocage en rotation du boîtier. The use of a deformable strip makes it possible to ensure in a simple manner a high pressure of the housing against the handle ensuring a stable and durable fixing. Preferably, the housing is provided, in a manner known per se, with anchoring pins on its surface in contact with the bar. This solution reinforces the rotation blocking of the housing.

La bande déformable est avantageusement métallique.The deformable strip is advantageously metallic.

Selon une forme de réalisation de l'invention, la bande déformable est un feuillard métallique élastique qui peut être posé de manière simple et avec un outillage réduit, par exemple à la manière de bandes de cerclage.According to one embodiment of the invention, the deformable strip is an elastic metal strip which can be laid in a simple manner and with reduced tools, for example in the manner of strapping bands.

On peut prévoir par exemple que le feuillard métallique est muni de perforations permettant la saisie par des outils de traction.One can provide for example that the metal strip is provided with perforations allowing the gripping by traction tools.

Selon une variante préférée de l'invention, la bande déformable est constituée par un feuillard métallique non élastique dont les extrémités sont ancrées en deux points du boîtier et dont la longueur entre les deux points d'ancrage est suffisante pour permettre une déformation permanente de manière à serrer le boîtier contre la poignée.According to a preferred variant of the invention, the deformable strip is constituted by a non-elastic metal strip whose ends are anchored at two points of the housing and whose length between the two anchoring points is sufficient to allow permanent deformation so to tighten the case against the handle.

De préférence, la bande est munie de deux déformations permanentes en forme de replis, ce qui permet de les ménager simultanément au moyen d'un outil simple tel qu'une pince.Preferably, the strip is provided with two permanent deformations in the form of folds, which makes it possible to spare them simultaneously by means of a simple tool such as pliers.

L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description suivante, en référence au dessin annexé dont la figure unique est une vue schématique en élévation, partiellement en coupe, d'un appareil de consigne selon un exemple de réalisation de l'invention.The invention will be clearly understood on reading the following description, with reference to the appended drawing, the single figure of which is a schematic elevation view, partially in section, of a deposit device according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention.

L'appareil de consigne comprend un boîtier ou corps 1 contenant un mécanisme de serrure à gage monté sur un chariot (non réprésentés). Le boîtier 1 est muni d'une ouverture d'introduction d'une clé 2' montée à l'extrémité d'une chaîne 3' solidaire d'un chariot équipé d'un appareil de consigne identique. De manière connue, l'introduction de la clé 2' dans le boîtier 1 déverrouille un gage, en général une pièce de monnaie, préalablement introduit dans le boîtier 1 pour libérer le chariot portant le boîtier 1.The deposit device comprises a housing or body 1 containing a token lock mechanism mounted on a carriage (not shown). The housing 1 is provided with an opening for the introduction of a key 2 'mounted at the end of a chain 3' secured to a carriage fitted with an identical deposit device. In known manner, the introduction of the key 2 'into the housing 1 unlocks a pledge, generally a coin, previously introduced into the housing 1 to release the carriage carrying the housing 1.

La clé 2' est verrouillée dans le boîtier 1 et le chariot est ainsi attelé au chariot duquel est solidaire la clé 2'.The key 2 'is locked in the housing 1 and the carriage is thus coupled to the carriage to which the key 2' is secured.

Pour la fixation du boîtier 1 sur la poignée 4 du chariot, le boîtier 1 comporte un évidement 5 en portion de cylindre terminé par deux crochets 6 et 7.For fixing the box 1 to the handle 4 of the carriage, the box 1 has a recess 5 in the portion of a cylinder terminated by two hooks 6 and 7.

Une bande 8 en métal déformable, est montée sous la poignée 4 et ses extrémités comportent respectivement un trou 9 et 10 qui est enfilé dans le crochet 6 ou 7 respectif.A strip 8 of deformable metal is mounted under the handle 4 and its ends respectively have a hole 9 and 10 which is threaded into the respective hook 6 or 7.

La longueur de la bande 8 est telle qu'elle est écartée de la poignée 4 en ménageant un mou.The length of the strip 8 is such that it is spaced from the handle 4 while leaving a slack.

La bande 8 est ensuite déformée, par exemple au moyen des mors d'une pince, pour ménager deux replis 11 et 12 de telle sorte que la portion 13 de la bande 8 entre le crochet 6 et le repli 11 et la portion 14 de la bande 8 entre le crochet 7 et le repli 12 sont étroitement serrées contre la poignée 4. On obtient ainsi une fixation sûre et durable du boîtier 1 sur la poignée 4, qui peut être renforcée par des picots d' ancrage (non représentés) formés dans la surface de l'évidement 5.The strip 8 is then deformed, for example by means of the jaws of pliers, to provide two folds 11 and 12 so that the portion 13 of the strip 8 between the hook 6 and the fold 11 and the portion 14 of the band 8 between the hook 7 and the fold 12 are tightly pressed against the handle 4. This provides a secure and durable fixing of the housing 1 on the handle 4, which can be reinforced by anchoring pins (not shown) formed in the surface of the recess 5.

Outre la simplicité, ce mode de fixation présente l'avantage que le démontage du boîtier 1 nécessite la destruction de la bande 8, ce qui interdit une réparation sur place par des personnes non qualifiées.In addition to simplicity, this method of attachment has the advantage that disassembly of the housing 1 requires the destruction of the strip 8, which prohibits on-site repair by unqualified persons.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté, la position du crochet 6 ménage une fente 15 entre le boîtier 1 et la bande 8, fente dans laquelle a été introduit un anneau d'extrémité d'une chaîne 3 dont l'autre extrémité est solidaire d'une clé (non représentée) identique à la clé 2'. In the embodiment shown, the position of the hook 6 provides a slot 15 between the housing 1 and the strip 8, a slot into which a chain end ring 3 has been introduced, the other end of which is integral with 'a key (not shown) identical to key 2'.
