Abstract

The token (1) when viewed from below has two identical but opposite channels (6,10) which engage with projections inside a hole cut in a support card. When viewed from above the token has channels (2,3) which are shorter than the projections. Linking surfaces (4,5) for guiding rotation are cam shaped such that as the token is rotated in the card hole there is progressive tightening

Description

-1 La présente invention concerne un dispositif de rangement et de-1 The present invention relates to a storage device and

transport d'un jeton detransportation of a token

déconsignation de monnayeur de chariot de grande surface. Le jeton utilise comme support de rangement une carte ayant les caractéristiques dimensionnelles d'une carte de fidélité magasin.  big box trolley coin changer. The token uses as a storage medium a card having the dimensional characteristics of a store loyalty card.

Le jeton de monnayeur est très largement utilisé par les consommateurs habitués des grlades 5 surfaces. Lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé pour le déverrouillage du monnayeur du chariot plusieurs solutions de rangement sont possibles: le jeton est pourvu d'un trou dans lequel un mousqueton peut être introduit, le jeton se retrouve alors solidaire du mousqueton qui est lui-même fixé à un porte-clés. Le jeton peut aussi être rangé dans des objets de type porte-clés o le jeton ne subit aucune modification, ce genre de porte jeton peut d'ailleurs recevoir indifféremment une pièce de 10 un euro ou un jeton. Celui-ci est maintenu en position par différentes solutions techniques utilisées par le support: serrage du jeton par déformation d'une zone du support, tiroir de rangement,  The coin-operated token is very widely used by consumers accustomed to 5-surface grarns. When it is not used for unlocking the coin mechanism of the trolley, several storage solutions are possible: the token is provided with a hole in which a carabiner can be inserted, the token is then secured to the carabiner which is itself even attached to a key ring. The token can also be stored in objects of the keychain type where the token does not undergo any modification, this kind of token holder can also receive either a 10 euro coin or a token. It is held in position by different technical solutions used by the support: tightening the token by deformation of an area of the support, storage drawer,

obstruction par verrouillage de la zone d'insertion.  obstruction by locking the insertion area.

L'ensemble de ces objets de promotion publicitaire font donc appel à deux éléments: un jeton et un support pour le jeton. Le dispositif de l'invention permet de remplacer les modèles de supports de 15 jeton classiques par un support spécifique pouvant reprendre les caractéristiques principales d'une  All of these advertising promotion objects therefore use two elements: a token and a support for the token. The device of the invention makes it possible to replace the models of conventional token supports with a specific support which can take up the main characteristics of a

carte format "carte de crédit" utilisée comme carte de fidélité magasin par exemple.  "credit card" format card used as a store loyalty card for example.

Il comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique un jeton de déconsignation des monnayeurs  According to a first characteristic, it indeed includes a coin token

de chariot de grande surface sur lequel est réalisé un usinage sur une partie du diamètre extérieur.  large surface carriage on which machining is carried out on part of the outside diameter.

Le jeton ainsi conçu peut être monté sur un support ayant un emplacement de réception prévu à cet 20 effet. Le support pourra avoir à titre d'exemple les caractéristiques dimensionnelles d'une carte de crédit à savoir: une longueur de 85 millimètres, une largeur de 55 millimètres et une épaisseur pouvant aller de 0,5 millimètre à 1 millimètre. L'opération d'accrochage du jeton sur le support est réalisée en insérant le jeton sur la zone du support prévue à cet effet, l'accrochage est ensuite réalisé en opérant une rotation du jeton par rapport au support, ayant pour effet de bloquer le jeton. 25 Une fois le jeton en place celui-ci dépasse de chaque côté du support d'une valeur égale à l'épaisseur du jeton diminuée de l'épaisseur de la carte le tout divisé par deux. Ce faible encombrement ne modifie donc aucun des avantages de rangement du support. Le déverrouillage  The token thus designed can be mounted on a support having a receiving location provided for this purpose. By way of example, the support may have the dimensional characteristics of a credit card, namely: a length of 85 millimeters, a width of 55 millimeters and a thickness which can range from 0.5 millimeters to 1 millimeter. The operation of hanging the token on the support is carried out by inserting the token on the area of the support provided for this purpose, the attachment is then carried out by rotating the token relative to the support, having the effect of blocking the token. 25 Once the token is in place, it exceeds on each side of the support by a value equal to the thickness of the token reduced by the thickness of the card, all halved. This small footprint therefore does not modify any of the advantages of storage of the support. Unlocking

du jeton s'obtient en procédant de la manière inverse.  of the token is obtained by proceeding in reverse.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention: La figure 1 représente le jeton vue de dessus La figure 2 représente le jeton vue de face La figure 3 représente le jeton vue de dessous Le figure 4 représente le support du jeton En référence à ces dessins, le jeton (1) possède des caractéristiques dimensionnelles d'encombrement identiques à une pièce de un euro. Ces caractéristiques dimensionnelles d'encombrement peuvent être modifiées en fonction du pays d'utilisation du jeton (1), celui-ci prenant alors les dimensions de la pièce utilisée dans les monnayeurs. Le diamètre extérieur (7) du -2 jeton (1) est identique sur tout le périmètre, l'épaisseur du jeton (1) est constante ce qui lui permet de déverrouiller normalement les monnayeurs des chariots. Le jeton (1) vue de dessous possède sur sa périphérie deux usinages (6) (10) identiques et diamétralement opposés. Ces deux usinages (6) (10) ont les fonctions de guidage et d'engagement des ergots (13) (14) du support (11). Le jeton (1) 5 vue de dessus possède sur sa périphérie deux usinages (2) (3), ces usinages (2) (3) ont une longueur inférieure aux ergots (13) (14), ces caractéristiques leurs permettent d'assurer le verrouillage du jeton (1) sur le support (11). Le support (11) qui peut prendre les caractéristiques dimensionnelles d'une carte au format standardisé type "carte de crédit" est pourvu d'une découpe (12) formé de deux ergots (13) et (14). Selon le modèle de support (11) utilisé, l'épaisseur varie de 0, 5 millimètre 10 à plus de 1 millimètre. Afin de maintenir le jeton (1) en position de blocage sur le support (11) lors du transport, le jeton utilise un serrage progressif obtenu par une augmentation progressive du diamètre des surfaces de guidage en rotation (4) (5). La mise place du jeton (1) sur le support (11) s'effectue de la manière suivante: l'utilisateur va prendre d'une main le support (11), puis de l'autre main le jeton (1). Suivant le sens de préhension du jeton (1) celui-ci va être monté par l'avant du support (11), ou par l'arrière du support (11). Cette opération est nécessaire afin de faire concider les usinages d'engagement des ergots (6) (10) par rapport aux ergots (13) (14) du support (11). L'encastrement du jeton (1) sur le support (11) peut être réalisé. Le jeton (1) vient se  The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: FIG. 1 represents the token seen from above FIG. 2 represents the token seen from the front FIG. 3 represents the token seen from below FIG. 4 represents the support of the token With reference to these drawings, the token (1) has dimensional dimensions identical to a one euro coin. These dimensional dimensions characteristics can be modified according to the country of use of the token (1), the latter then taking the dimensions of the part used in the coin acceptors. The outside diameter (7) of the -2 token (1) is identical over the entire perimeter, the thickness of the token (1) is constant which allows it to normally unlock the coin acceptors of the carriages. The token (1) seen from below has on its periphery two machining operations (6) (10) identical and diametrically opposite. These two machining operations (6) (10) have the functions of guiding and engaging the lugs (13) (14) of the support (11). The token (1) 5 seen from above has on its periphery two machining operations (2) (3), these machining operations (2) (3) have a length less than the pins (13) (14), these characteristics enable them to ensure locking the token (1) on the support (11). The support (11) which can take the dimensional characteristics of a standard format card type "credit card" is provided with a cutout (12) formed by two pins (13) and (14). Depending on the support model (11) used, the thickness varies from 0.5 millimeters 10 to more than 1 millimeter. In order to keep the token (1) in the locking position on the support (11) during transport, the token uses progressive tightening obtained by a gradual increase in the diameter of the rotating guide surfaces (4) (5). The token (1) is placed on the support (11) as follows: the user will take the support (11) with one hand, then the token (1) with the other hand. According to the gripping direction of the token (1) it will be mounted by the front of the support (11), or by the rear of the support (11). This operation is necessary in order to make the engagement machining of the pins (6) (10) reconcile with respect to the pins (13) (14) of the support (11). The embedding of the token (1) on the support (11) can be carried out. The token (1) comes

positionner en butée sur la surface (8) et sur l'autre surface identique qui est diamétralement opposé, il faut ensuite procéder à la mise en rotation du jeton (1) par rapport au support (11).  position in abutment on the surface (8) and on the other identical surface which is diametrically opposite, it is then necessary to rotate the token (1) relative to the support (11).

L'utilisateur observe lors de la rotation du jeton (1) une sensation de serrage progressif arrivant à un état de blocage. Ce résultat est obtenu grâce aux surfaces de guidage en rotation (4) (5) qui utilise un principe d'excentrique à came: la distance entre le centre du jeton (1) et les surfaces de guidage en rotation (4) (5) augmente de manière croissante et linéaire dans le sens de verrouillage du jeton (1). Le jeu fonctionnel qui existe entre les surfaces de guidage (4) (5) et les ergots (13) (14) du support (11) au moment de l'encastrement du jeton (1) sur le support (11) disparaît lors de la mise en rotation du jeton (1) et se transforme progressivement en un serrage mécanique par écrasement de matière assurant le blocage du jeton (1) sur le support (11). Les ergots (13) (14) se retrouvent en partie dans la zone d'usinage (2) (3) et dans la zone d'usinage (6) (10), c'est cette position intermédiaire entre les surfaces (8) (9) qui empêche l'extraction du jeton (1) de son support (11). Pour déverrouiller le jeton (1) de son support (2) il suffit de procéder à la rotation inverse de celle réalisée pour le verrouillage. Après une sensation de point dur correspondant à la suppression du jeu fonctionnel opérée pendant la phase de verrouillage, la rotation du jeton (1) s'effectue librement jusqu'à ce qu'il vienne se positionner en butée, indiquant l'alignement des  The user observes during the rotation of the token (1) a feeling of progressive tightening arriving at a blocking state. This result is obtained thanks to the rotating guide surfaces (4) (5) which uses a cam eccentric principle: the distance between the center of the token (1) and the rotating guide surfaces (4) (5) increases in an increasing and linear manner in the direction of locking of the token (1). The functional clearance which exists between the guide surfaces (4) (5) and the pins (13) (14) of the support (11) when the token is embedded (1) on the support (11) disappears when the rotation of the token (1) and gradually turns into a mechanical tightening by crushing material ensuring the blocking of the token (1) on the support (11). The pins (13) (14) are partly found in the machining zone (2) (3) and in the machining zone (6) (10), it is this intermediate position between the surfaces (8) (9) which prevents the extraction of the token (1) from its support (11). To unlock the token (1) from its support (2), simply rotate opposite to that performed for locking. After a feeling of hard point corresponding to the removal of the functional clearance operated during the locking phase, the token (1) is rotated freely until it comes to position in abutment, indicating the alignment of the

ergots (13) (14) aux usinages (6) (10). Une légère pression de l'utilisateur sur la surface dujeton 35 (1) laissant apparaitre les ergots (13) (14) suffira à extraire lejeton (1) du support (11).  lugs (13) (14) for machining (6) (10). A slight pressure of the user on the surface of the token 35 (1) revealing the lugs (13) (14) will suffice to extract the token (1) from the support (11).

La conception du jeton (1) choisie pour la description de réalisation préférentielle permet de  The design of the token (1) chosen for the preferred embodiment description makes it possible to

simplifier les outillages de fabrication et donc de réduire les cots de fabrication.
