Definitions

  • a burglar alarm for vending machines comprising a reinforced door assembly to protect the coin collection box, a key operated tumbler lock for securing the door assembly in flush position upon the cabinet of vending machine, linkage means connected to a trigger mechanism for actuating normally disabled sound producing device, and sensing levers for detecting the application of an unauthorized force to the tumbler lock to thereby move the linkage means to release trigger and actuate the sound producing device.
  • the instant invention relates generally to burglar alarms and similar audible warning devices for use in conjunction with vending machines, coin-operated jukeboxes, etc., and more particularly to a self-contained, mechanically operated burglar alarm wherein the audible warning signal is created by the rapid rushing of pressurized gas through a sounding horn, sonic whistle, or the like.
  • One typical solution has been to provide an electrically powered burglar alarm inoperative association with the key-operated locking means for the coin collection box of the vending machine.
  • the electrically powered burglar alarm When the electrically powered burglar alarm is triggered by the application of force to the coin collection box, it completes a circuit and thereby sets off an audible alarm in the vicinity of the vending machine or relays a signal silently to a remote location, such as a police station, or performs both functions.
  • electrically powered alarm systems require the services of an expert technician to install and periodically service same.
  • the installation and maintenance costs are substantial when compared to the amount of money that can be collected in a given time period by a small vending machine, such as a wall mounted jukebox, candy vending machine, etc.
  • many of the electrically powered burglar alarms can be disabled by severing the power lines leading from the source of electrical power into the vending machine cabinet.
  • the secondary locking mechanism disclosed in the Chedister patent permits the door to the cabinet to be opened a crack, in the order of a sixteenth of an inch or more, before the horn is sounded.
  • This crack may be of sufficient magnitude to enable a burglar to insert the end of a manual tool, such as a screwdriver or erowbar, and exert sufficient leverage to force the door to the cabinet wide open.
  • the burglar may insert a thin wire implement through the crack and skillfully pick the secondary locking mechanism, thus providing free access to the contents of the vending machine.
  • the instant invention contemplates a mechanically operated, self-contained inexpensive alarm system that is fully compatible with existing machines.
  • Such alarm comprises a minimum number of components of simplified design that insure foolproof operation of the alarm system whenever unauthorized entry into a locked enclosure or vending machine housing is sought through force or other methods.
  • sensing levers which are biased into engagement with opposite faces of the latch, detect the unauthorized application of force to the door enclosing the coin collection box, and immediately move an actuating rod which releases a spring loaded valve trigger from a retainer member.
  • the valve trigger depresses a button for the normally closed valve assembly mounted atop a pressurized container and releases the contents of the container through a sounding horn, sonic whistle, etc.
  • the long-lived, intense audible alarm may well frighten away burglars and possibly aid in apprehending same.
  • the instant invention also contemplates stop means that define a equilibrium position for the sensing levers, such position being maintained whenever the key-operated locking mechanism is opened by authorized personnel to gain access to the interior of the machine housing.
  • the instant invention contemplates an improved retainer element for normally holding the valve trigger for the pressurized container in an inoperative condition.
  • the retainer element is manually reset after the horn has been sounded, either to frighten burglars away or for periodic testing purposes.
  • the instant invention provides a door of reinforced design that is easily secured to a door frame housing in the vicinity of the coin collection box; such door fits flush with the machine housing and thus minimizes the opportunity to physically pry same free without actuating the burglar alarm disposed within the machine housing.
  • FIG. I is an exploded perspective view of the lower portion of the rear section of a vending machine housing or similar enclosure
  • FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view, on an enlarged scale, of the reinforced door and key-operated locking mechanism for the machine housing or enclosure;

  • door 24 further includes a latch plate 40 with a horizontally extending offset leg 42 that has a slot 44 formed therein.
  • the plate is secured to door assembly 24 by screws 46 that pass through apertures in the plate and are threadedly engaged within guides 48 located adjacent to tubular guide 28.
  • a circular aperture is formed in the center of latch plate 40 to enable a key operated tumbler lock, indicated generally by reference character 50, to pass therethrough and thus secure the door assembly 24 to ledge 16.
  • part of the tumbler lock 50 of conventional design is situated on the exterior surface of door assembly 24, while the remaining part of the tumbler lock is situated on the interior surface thereof for securement purposes.
  • the chain line extending through tubular guide 28 indicates the manner and spatial relationship in which the component parts of the tumbler lock 50 are secured together.
  • Lock 50 includes a key slot (not shown) which receives key 52 therein, and a circular sleeve 54 which aligns the lock within the outwardly opening end of guide 28.
  • the barrel 56 of the lock is threaded along its peripheral length, as seen in FIG. 2, and extends through guide 28 and the central aperture in plate 40.
  • a nut 58 is rotated along the barrel until it abuts the inwardly opening end of guide 28 and thereby secures lock 50 in operative position.
  • Barrel 56 has a recess 60 at its innermost end and a screw, rivet or similar securement element 62 is pressed therein through an aperture 64 in latch 66 so that latch 66 pivots in response to the turning movement of key 52 within the key slot.
  • latch 66 will be vertically oriented and extend through slot 44 in the offset leg 42 of latch plate 40. Such vertical orientation of the latch defines the locked position for tumbler lock 50.
  • FIG. 3 depicts the reinforced door assembly 24, the tumbler locking mechanism therefor including latch-66, the sensing lever mechanism operatively associated with the latch 66 of the tumbler locking mechanism, and the sound producing device actuated by the sensing levers whenever unauthorized personnel attempts to force open the tumbler locking mechanism.
  • the sensing lever mechanism is indicated generally by reference numeral 68
  • the sound producing device or burglar alarm is indicated generally by reference numeral 69.
  • the view in FIG. 3 is taken at a position within cabinet 10 in the vicinity of cashbox I8 and looking outwardly therefrom.
  • FIG. 5, which is a top plan view of the same mechanisms, should be construed in conjunction with FIG. 3 to more .fully appreciate the structural configuration and operational characteristics of these mechanisms.
  • sensing lever mechanism 68 comprises an L-shaped mounting plate 70, 72 that is permanently affixed to the interior wall of cabinet 10 by screws 74.
  • the horizontally offset portion 72 of the plate 70 extends parallel to the offset portion 42 of plate 40.
  • An aperture or slot 76 is formed in offset portion 72 and is aligned with aperture 44 in offset portion 42 so that the upper end of latch 66 of tumbler assembly extends therethrough and can be freely pivoted through these slots in response to the rotational movement of key 52.
  • Sensing lever mechanism 68 further comprises a first sensing lever 78, a second sensing lever 80, and a link 82 interconnecting the two sensing levers.
  • the midpoint of lever 78 is secured to plate 72 by post 84 for pivotable motion relative thereto.
  • One end of lever 78 bears against the inner face of the upper end of latch 66 while the opposite end of the lever is secured to link 82 by pin 85.
  • Second sensing lever is secured to plate 72 by post 86 for pivotable motion relative thereto.
  • One end of lever 80 bears against the outer face of the upper end of latch 66 while the opposite end is secured to link 82 by one end of actuating rod 88.
  • Rod 88 is thus directly responsive to the pivotable movement of lever 80, and indirectly responsive to the pivotable movement of lever 78 .via link 82.
  • a coil spring 90 has one end secured to link 82 adjacent to red 88 and has its opposite end secured to upstruck ear 92 on plate 72.
  • the normal, unstressed condition of spring 90 is visible in FIG. 5, while the stressed condition of spring 90 is visible in FIG. 7.
  • a stop 94 is located adjacent to sensing lever 80 and cooperates with spring 90 to define a nonnal equilibrium condition for the entire sensing lever mechanism 68.
  • a leaf spring 96 with one end secured to screw 74, has its offset portion bear against the upper end of latch 66 and thereby minimize, if not totally eliminate, the play in tumbler lock 50. Such equilibrium c'ondition enables authorized personnel to open tumbler lock 50 by pivoting latch 66 out of contact with levers 7,8, 80 without actuating the sound producing device.
  • Actuating rod 88 is an integral part of burglar alarm or sound producing assembly 69 and constitutes the structural link through which the operation of the sensing lever assembly 68 is translated into an audible alarm by sound producing assembly 69. As best shown in FIGS. 3, 5 and 7, rod 88 has its upper end joined to link 82 and second sensing lever 80. Rod 88 slants downwardly at its midsection so that the lower end of the rod can be joined to the midpoint of trigger retainer 98.
  • Retainer 98 which has an upstruck portion 99, is secured to horizontally extending support by post 102, as shown in FIG. 8, thus permitting the retainer to pivot relative to the support.
  • a deep notch 104 is removed from one side of the retainer and the valve trigger 106 for a pressurized can I08 of freon is normally retained therein.
  • Trigger 106 is generally U- shaped in horizontal cross section and extends downwardly below support I00 by virtue of its groove pin shaft 110 which extends through its upper end and engages the button 114.
  • a coil spring 112 extends between one end of the support and an intermediate segment of the trigger, and serves to spring load the trigger connected to 114 of burglar alarm assembly 69 as shown by FIG. 8.
  • the U-shape of valve trigger I06 fully embraces button 114 to insure foolproof operation.
  • trigger 106 When the tampering attempt has been detected and/or thwarted, trigger 106 is manually reset into engagement with notch 104 in retainer 98. The upstruck portion 99 of the retainer retension spring 112 and cocks trigger 106. Such resetting of the trigger enables button 1 14 to return to its normal, undepressed position, thus closing valve assembly 116 and terminating the sounding of horn 120.
  • the sensing lever mechanism 69 is disposed within the interior of the cabinet or housing above the upper surface of aperture 14.
  • Coin collection box enclosure 18 is then secured to housing 10 along ledge 16 so that aperture l4 permits ready access to the interior of the hous- Coin collection bag 22 is then inserted through aperture 14 into enclosure 18 so as to receive coins deposited in a coin chute (not shown) at the front or side of the machine.
  • Keeper plate 26 is then secured to reinforced door assembly 24 by tightening screws 26, as has been shown in FIG. 2, and tumbler lock 50 is inserted through guide 28 and rotated to an inoperative position. Assembly 24 is then positioned within aperture 14 and retained therein in the manner shown in FIG. 4.
  • Tumbler lock 50 is subsequently adjusted to locking position wherein latch 66 extends upwardly through slots 44 and 76 in plates 42 and 72, respectively, into operative position with respect to sensing lever mechanism 68, and key 52 is removed from the slot in the tumbler loek. It is noted that door assembly 24 mounts flush with the exterior surface of housing 10 and completely encloses aperture 14.
  • leaf spring 96 bears against the upper end of latch 66 and eliminates the play in the latch, thus contributing to the successful operation of the sound producing device or burglar alarm.
  • the first pivotable sensing lever 78 and the second pivotable sensing lever 80 are disposed on opposite sides of latch 66 and normally bear against the opposite faces of the latch.
  • the levers are interconnected by link 82, and the sensing lever mechanism is biased into an equilibrium condition by spring 90 which urges lever 80 in counterclockwise fashion against stop 94.
  • the maintenance of this equilibrium condition is of significance, for it enables authorized personnel to operate the tumbler lock 50 to rotate latch 66 out of contact 'With the sensing levers without setting off the sound producing device or burglar alarm mechanism 69.
  • the opening of the lock enables an attendant to remove door assembly 24, empty the contents of bag 22, replace the bag and relock the door.
  • the equilibrium condition'for the sensing lever mechanism 69 is structurally and functionally correlated with the normal, or unactuated, condition of the sound producing device or burglar alarm 69.
  • Actuating rod 88 is joined at one end to second sensing lever 80 and link 82 and is joined at its opposite end to pivotable retainer 98.
  • spring biased trigger 106 is held in disabled position within notch 104 in retainer 98 and the horn 120 is silent. This condition is illustrated in FIGS. 5, 6 and 9.
  • Valve trigger 106 is thus released from notch 104 in retainer 99 and spring 112 pulls the trigger and button 114 to which it is attached with groove pin 110, to open valve 116 as shown in FlG.'8.
  • valve assembly 116 opens valve assembly 116 and permits freon or a similar pressurized gas within container 108 to escape therefrom and operate horn 120.
  • the audible warning alarm will continue to sound until the contents of container 108 are exhausted or until authorized personnel open the machine and manually reset valve trigger 106 into notch 104 in retainer 94, thereby enabling button 114 to return to its unactuated position and close valve assembly 116.
  • the upstruck portion 99 of retainer 98 assists in restressing spring 112.
  • sensing lever mechanism 68 will operate sound producing device or burglar alarm 69 before door assembly 24 can be penetrated or pried loose from inwardly extending ledge 16. Accordingly, the instant self-contained, mechanically operated burglar alarm affords maximum protection for vending machines and the like with minimized costsfor the manufacturing, installing and servicing of same.
  • An enclosure including a door frame defining an aperture 9 in one of the walls of said enclosure; said aperture permitting manual access to the interior of said enclosure; a door assembly secured to said frame; lock means including a pivotally mounted latch for holding said door assembly closed within said frame to prevent unauthorized manual access to the interior of said enclosure; said latch being disposed on the interior of said enclosure to engage said door frame; a normally inoperative, sound-producing device located within said enclosure; operating means connected to said sound-producing device for actuating said device; sensing means operatively associated with said latch for detecting unauthorized movement of said latch; said sensing means including a mounting plate secured to the inner face of said door assembly, a plurality of posts secured to said plate, and a like plurality of levers mounted upon said posts for movement toward opposite faces of said latch; said sensing means being connected to said operating means for actuating said sound-producing device whenever an unauthorized pushing or pulling force is applied to said door to forcibly open same.
