En référence aux figures 2,3,4, le dispositif se monte sur un parc de stockage comportant des poteaux verticaux (1 ) et des barres horizontales (2). A la barre supérieure est fixé un profilé creux à section rectangulare appelé rail (3) obturé et comportant à l'entrée du parc (4) un limiteur de course, pièce courante du commerce boulonnée dans l'ouverture d'extrémité du rail (3).Referring to Figures 2,3,4, the device is mounted on a storage yard comprising vertical posts (1) and horizontal bars (2). To the upper bar is fixed a hollow section with a rectangular section called a closed rail (3) and comprising at the entrance to the park (4) a stroke limiter, a standard commercial item bolted into the end opening of the rail (3 ).
On se réfère à présent aux figures 5 à 7.We now refer to Figures 5 to 7.
A l'intérieur du rail (3) est placé un sabot mobile (6) dont la section rectangulaire correspond à la section de la cavité du rail (3), des jeux étant prévus pour permettre le coulissement du sabot mobile (6), à l'intérieur dudit rail. Le rail est de type courant et obturé de manière réglable à une longueur prédéterminée comme limite de file, et il est placé légèrement au dessus des poignées de chariot.Inside the rail (3) is placed a movable shoe (6) whose rectangular section corresponds to the section of the cavity of the rail (3), games being provided to allow the sliding of the mobile shoe (6), inside said rail. The rail is of the standard type and is adjustable in an adjustable manner at a predetermined length as a line limit, and it is placed slightly above the carriage handles.
Le sabot (6) présente la forme d'un bloc parallélépipédique avec une fente (6') prévue selon un plan médian longitudinal du sabot et débouchant sur toute la face inférieure dudit sabot.The shoe (6) has the shape of a parallelepipedal block with a slot (6 ') provided along a longitudinal median plane of the shoe and opening onto the entire underside of said shoe.
Le sabot (6) est solidarisé à un support métallique (5) formé d'une plaque rectangulaire (5b) insérée dans la fente (6') du sabot, et d'une embase (5a) d'épaisseur sensiblement identique à celle du rail. La barre (5b) est soudée longitudinalement sur l'embase (5a) et maintenue dans le sabot au moyen de vis (7).The shoe (6) is secured to a metal support (5) formed by a rectangular plate (5b) inserted in the slot (6 ') of the shoe, and a base (5a) of thickness substantially identical to that of the rail. The bar (5b) is welded longitudinally to the base (5a) and held in the shoe by means of screws (7).
L'embase (5b), présentant par exemple un profil triangulaire comme sur la figure 7, comporte un trou transversal (8) donc de direction perpendiculaire à celle du rail (3). Le trou (8) est prévu pour recevoir un axe (9) comportant une gorge annulaire périphérique (10) servant de butée en translation à une vis (1 1 ) de l'embase (5a).The base (5b), for example having a triangular profile as in Figure 7, has a transverse hole (8) therefore of direction perpendicular to that of the rail (3). The hole (8) is designed to receive an axis (9) comprising a peripheral annular groove (10) serving as a stop in translation for a screw (1 1) of the base (5a).
Ledit axe (9) est solidaire d'un double récepteur (22) de clé visible en détail aux figures 8 à 12, auxquelles on se réfère à présent. Le double récepteur de clé (22) est constitué d'un boitier muni de deux glissières de forme propre à recevoir des clés, déjà connues ou non, la ou les pièces fixant une clé présentant la symétrie nécessaire à l'usage alternatif du double récepteur.Said axis (9) is integral with a double key receiver (22) visible in detail in Figures 8 to 12, to which we now refer. The double key receiver (22) consists of a box provided with two slides of a shape suitable for receiving keys, already known or not, the part or parts fixing a key having the symmetry necessary for the alternative use of the double receiver .
Dans le mode de réalisation représenté, le double récepteur de clé (22) est constitué d'un boitier parallélépipédique (23) fermé par un couvercle (24) et pivotant autour de l'axe (9). Sur deux faces opposées du boitier, débouchent deux glissières internes (12) disposées dans le prolongement l'une de l'autre selon l'axe longitudinal du boitier.In the embodiment shown, the double key receiver (22) consists of a parallelepiped box (23) closed by a cover (24) and pivoting about the axis (9). On two opposite faces of the housing, two internal slides (12) open in the extension of one another along the longitudinal axis of the housing.
A l'intérieur du boitier, deux pièces pivotantes (14) sont mobiles en rotation autour d'un axe (15).Inside the housing, two pivoting parts (14) are movable in rotation about an axis (15).
La forme des pièces pivotantes est symétriques de façon à permettre le verrouillage alternatif de deux clés de forme identique.The shape of the pivoting parts is symmetrical so as to allow alternating locking of two keys of identical shape.
Sur le mode de réalisation non limitatif représenté sur les figures, les pièces pivotantes (14) sont terminées par des ergots (16) pouvant s'insérer dans lés évidements (17) des clés (13), elles comportent également chacune un socle (27) terminé par deux saillies (26).In the nonlimiting embodiment shown in the figures, the pivoting parts (14) are terminated by lugs (16) which can be inserted in the recesses (17) of the keys (13), they also each include a base (27 ) terminated by two projections (26).
De façon préférentielle, on prévoit des rainures (18) longitudinales pratiquées sur les côtés des glissières (12) de façon à absorber les défauts éventuels des clés (13).Preferably, longitudinal grooves (18) are provided on the sides of the slides (12) so as to absorb any defects in the keys (13).
Un verrou basculant (20) terminé par deux ergots (25) est guidé par deux tiges (19) et soumis à la pression de chacun des deux ressorts (21) entourant les tiges (19).A tilting latch (20) terminated by two lugs (25) is guided by two rods (19) and subjected to the pressure of each of the two springs (21) surrounding the rods (19).
Le double récepteur de clé fonctionne comme suit :The dual key receiver works as follows:
- on introduit une clé (13) dans l'une des glissières (12) jusqu'à son appui sur les pièces pivotantes, celles- ci pivotent sous l'effet de la poussée et leurs ergots (16) s'insèrent dans les évidements (17) de la clé. Le basculement du verrou (20) est obtenu par la pression des ressorts conjuguée au changement de position de l'axe de basculement constitué par deux saillies (26) de deux socles (27).- A key (13) is introduced into one of the slides (12) until it rests on the pivoting parts, these pivot under the effect of the thrust and their lugs (16) are inserted in the recesses (17) of the key. The tilting of the lock (20) is obtained by the pressure of the springs combined with the change of position of the tilting axis constituted by two projections (26) of two bases (27).
- l'un des ergots (20) du verrou s'abaisse et vient alors bloquer en position de verrouillage les ergots (16) des pièces pivotantes. - l'autre ergot (20) se soulève, les autres extrémités (16) des pièces pivotantes sécartent et la clé placée dans l'autre glissière peut être retirée.- One of the lugs (20) of the latch is lowered and then comes to lock the lugs (16) of the pivoting parts in the locking position. - The other lug (20) lifts, the other ends (16) of the pivoting parts move apart and the key placed in the other slide can be removed.
Le fonctionnement d'ensemble de l'invention est le suivant :The overall operation of the invention is as follows:
- figures 1b et 1a : l'utilisateur trouve un parc (figure 1a) la clé fixée au parc enclenchée dans la glissière (12) d'une face (A) du double récepteur de clés (22). Il insère alors la clé de son chariot dans la glissière (12) de la face (B) du double récepteur de clés libérant ainsi la clé de la face (A) dont il se sert pour récupérer sa pièce de monnaie ou son jeton en l'introduisant dans le monnayeur (28) du chariot (9).- Figures 1b and 1a: the user finds a park (Figure 1a) the key attached to the park engaged in the slide (12) of a face (A) of the double key receiver (22). He then inserts the key to his cart into the slide (12) on the side (B) of the double key receiver, thus releasing the key from the side (A) which he uses to recover his coin or token in l 'introducing into the coin mechanism (28) of the carriage (9).
- figures 1b et 1c : pour ranger un nouveau chariot n , il faut faire pivoter le double récepteur de clé (22) et le faire glisser dans le rail pour rendre accessible sa face libre, ici la face A, pour y introduire la clé du nouveau chariot n. libérant ainsi la clé du chariot précédent n-1 que l'on peut introduire dans le monnayeur du chariot n.- Figures 1b and 1c: to store a new carriage n, you must rotate the double key receiver (22) and slide it into the rail to make its free side accessible, here side A, to insert the key new cart n. thus releasing the key from the previous carriage n-1 which can be inserted into the coin mechanism of carriage n.
Pour libérer un chariot n , on procède en ordre inverse : introduction d'une pièce ou jeton dans le monnayeur de n, libération de la clé du chariot n-1 que l'on introduit dans la face libre du double récepteur de clé, libération de la clé du chariot n. Dans tous les cas de figure, le double récepteur de clé est toujours solidaire d'une clé reliée à un chariot.To release a carriage n, proceed in reverse order: introduction of a coin or token into the coin mechanism of n, release of the key of carriage n-1 which is introduced into the free face of the double key receiver, release of the trolley key n. In all cases, the double key receiver is always attached to a key connected to a carriage.
- figures 1d, 1c : on introduit un dernier chariot car le sabot coulissant portant le double récepteur de clé arrive en butée à l'extrémité du rail, il sera donc impossible de rendre accessible le double monnayeur pour un chariot supplémentaire.- Figures 1d, 1c: we introduce a last carriage because the sliding shoe carrying the double key receiver comes into abutment at the end of the rail, it will therefore be impossible to make the double coin accessible for an additional carriage.
Selon une variante de réalisation non représentée, le double récepteur de clés (22) présente la particulaπtό d'avoir des glissières (12) disposées selon un angle, la pièce pivotante (14) est alors unique, son axe étant situé environ à l'intersection des perpendiculaires aux points de contact avec les évidements des clés, le verrouillage s'opérant par une languette soumise à l'action d'un ressort et le déverrouillage par l'introduction d'une nouvelle clé.According to a variant embodiment not shown, the double key receiver (22) has the particularity of having slides (12) arranged at an angle, the pivoting part (14) is then unique, its axis being located approximately at the intersection of the perpendiculars to the points of contact with the recesses of the keys, the locking being effected by a tongue subjected to the action of a spring and the unlocking by the introduction of a new key.
Selon une autre variante de réalisation non représentée du sabot, celui-ci peut être prévu pour se déplacer extérieurement par rapport au rail.According to another alternative embodiment, not shown, of the shoe, it can be provided to move externally relative to the rail.
