Definitions

  • a pivotable lever is provided which first retains an inserted coin and frees it only when the lock is moved to locking position. The coin continues to be retained in the coin chute, however, by a coin blocking lever which finally frees the coin for refund or collection (as desired) when it is moved in conjunction with opening movement of the lock.
  • FIG. 2 is a view of the device in the idle position, with the door open, along the line II II in FIG. 3;
  • the bolt 16 is formed essentially as a two-armed lever and is provided on the one side with a coin hold back extension 30, which serves to hold the inserted coin retained until the bolt has again taken up its open position shown in FIG. 2. In the open position of the rotary bolt 16 the coin then falls into a pocket 29 provided on the inner side of the door, from which the user can retrieve it when the door 2 is opened.
  • the coin is checked by the verification of its diameter, in that coins 14 which are too small fall between the cam 25 and the arm without holding the rocker lever 6 in its bolt releasing position. Coins which are too large are already rejected by the size of the coin slot 21. It is however still possible to incorporate additional coin-checking components, as those are commercially obtainable.
  • the device described it is also possible for the device described to be fixed to the anchored door frame or marginal portion instead of attaching it to the door, allowing the rotary bolt to engage in the door.
  • a further variant consists in the provision of a lockable coin box instead of the removal pocket 29, when no provision is to be made for the return of the coins inserted.
  • this device can also be applied to other rented cabinets or containers, such as parcel checking cabinets.
  • a coin controlled locking device in which the lock can be brought from the open position into the closed position after the insertion of a coin, comprising door locking bolt means (16) mounted for movement forwardly and rearwardly to door locking (F IG. 6) and released (FIG. 2) positions respectivelv;
  • pivotable lever means (6) cooperating with said locking bolt means having normally a position in which said locking bolt means is prevented from moving into closed position;
  • a coin controlled locking device as defined in claim 1, wherein said lever means is holding an inserted coin when said locking bolt means is in open position, said coin blocking means comprising an elongated arm extending into said channel means at least in the closed position of said locking bolt means, said arm holding a coin dropped bv gravity after release by said lever means at a lower level when the arm is in the coin-inhibiting position corresponding to the closed position of said locking bolt means.
  • a cabinet having a door and a coin controlled locking device, comprising door locking bolt means mounted for pivotable movement to door locking and released positions respectively,
  • pivotable lever means cooperating with said locking bolt means and being normally in a position in which said locking bolt means is prevented from moving into its closed position
  • said lever leans extending into said coin receiving channel means so that an inserted coin effects a turning movement of said lever means into a releasing position with respect to said locking bolt means
  • a coin collecting pocket arranged below said channel means, said pocket being freely accessible from the inside of said door;
  • said coin receiving channel means extending from below said coin blocking means to said coin collecting pocket.
