10 With an increase in the number of subscribers, the problem of free operating frequencies arises.

In order to improve on this, it is proposed according to the invention to arrange telephone call poles arranged at fixed locations, to which the subscriber telephone set housed in the vehicle can be connected.

Such telephone poles are efficiently arranged in certain places, such as, for example, parking spaces, petrol stations, etc.

The device according to the invention offers many advantages compared to the prior art, such as, for example, telephone booths and coin-operated telephone sets.

The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, in which by way of example a favorable embodiment of the device according to the invention is shown. Herein shows;

Fig. 1 the telephone pole which is located at a fixed location, for example in a parking lot, for the purpose of receiving from the window of a car 79075 61. ____:: ..: --------— ---------—, - -------...., I operate this,! *

Fig. 3 the locking device for the telephone pole and the cash cassette, and

Fig. 4 schematically shows a further installation of a number of telephone poles of different embodiments according to FIGS. 1-3.

The subscriber telephone device shown in the drawing, intended for use by the subscriber in a vehicle, for example a car, is designed according to the invention such as in Fig. 1 in particular shows, that the subscriber telephone set 6 located in the vehicle 2 can be connected via a connecting line 5 to a telephone pole 1, 16, 16 ', 16 "arranged at a fixed location and connected to a central via lines.

In this case, the contact members 3 and 4 to be mutually connected in the first exemplary embodiment 16 are designed such that, for example, an attention sign is electrically, acoustically or optically issued, with which it is actuated to identify the subscriber (number plate of the car) and for forwarding the telephone exchange.

The subscriber can be requested via the voice connection to deposit an amount in advance in the telephone station or the telephone station 1, which is subsequently settled.

In the second exemplary embodiment 16, the contact connection 3, 4 of the telephone pole is equipped with an identification and memory device, t 790 75 61 - 3 - », ------------—--! which forward the telephone exchange ! automatically performs according to the identification, so that the subscriber is not tied to the opening times of, for example, the telephone station. A monthly statement is possible, for example, on account of the identification and memory storage.

In a third exemplary embodiment, the. telephone poles are designed as coin-dispensing machines, so that the telephone exchange line is connected to the telephone connected to the telephone pole via the plug-in connection only for the period of time corresponding to the amount of money deposited.

The contact members 3 and 4 can of course be designed in such a way that the telephone set 6 can be connected for all embodiments 16, 16 'and 16 ".

In all exemplary embodiments 16, 16 'and 16 ", the telephone pole 1, 1a is provided with a display unit 7 for the tariff units used. As a speaking and dialing device, a normal telephone set is shown, for example in Fig. 1. can be connected to the telephone pole.

As can be seen in particular from Figs. 2 and 3, the pole 1, 16 is built up from a connecting part 5 and operating part 1a, from a cassette part 1b and from a stand pole 1c, wherein the connecting and operating part 1a is exchangeable.

As shown in Fig. 3, the connecting and operating part can be locked and unlocked by means of a locking member 12.

As further shown in Fig. 3, the locking member 12 is arranged under the folding cover of the operating part 1a, this cover being lockable and unlockable only electrically from the telephone exchange.

The cash box 14 is mounted in or on the post and closed by means of a locking sleeve 13 »

In order to prevent an unauthorized opening of the cash box, there is no access to the money box after removing the connecting and operating part 1a. Here too, the opening of the cash register lock is simultaneously carried out electrically from the telephone exchange and mechanically at the position, whereby a speech connection must be maintained with the exchange during emptying, whereby it is possible for the control persons concerned in the telephone exchange to check the operation. .

It is further possible that the coins 14 are fed through the post to a tubular mailbox in order to realize an automatic emptying, whereby an increased reliability is achieved because the emptying of the money cassette can take place at irregular times and, above all, more frequently. find. Conclusions.
