Definitions
- anti-exit means for shopping trolleys comprising at least two substantially parallel spaced apart barriers defining a passage way through which a shopping trolley may pass, at least one of the said barriers having at least one arm pivotally mounted thereon, said arm extending into the said passage way and being moveable in one direction only, the said spaced apart distance between the said barriers and the length of the said arm being such that when a shopping trolley moves into the said passage way said arm contacts it and moves with it to allow it to pass in one direction through said passage way but said arm engages with the said shopping trolley to prevent movement in the reverse direction.
- each arm is mounted between a pair of substantially horizontal, substantially parallel rails spaced apart and positioned one vertically above the other.
- the preset height of the barriers, the distance between them, and the length of each arm combines such that each arm contacts the shopping trolley and moves with it to allow it to proceed through the anti-exit means in the permitted direction, but interlocks with the trolley and, because of the inability of the arm to move in the reverse direction, prevents movement of the trolley should the direction of it be reversed.
- each arm remains fixed in its rest position and cannot move, thus preventing passage of the trolley, in this direction, between the barriers.
- Figure 1 is an isometric view of an anti-exit means with two barriers.
- FIGs 4(a), (b) and (c) there is shown a smaller anti-exit means provided in two parts, each part designed to fit either side of a sliding door (23).
- the anti-exit means may comprise two barriers (21), each with two arms (22) attached, as shown in Figures 4(a) and (b), or three support members, as shown in Figure 4(c).
- one of the barriers of the anti-exit means is a wall (31), and the second barrier (32) is similar in structure to barriers as exemplified in in any of the preceding examples. While the barrier is shown in Figure 5 as having one horizontal arm only, it is envisaged that any of the barriers, as shown in any of the preceding examples or any of the drawings, would also be suitable.
- the wall is not provided with arms, however it is envisaged as within the scope of the invention that arms may be attached to a wall, or other suitable form of barrier, to operate in the same way as the arms attached to the barriers as previously described. It is also within the scope of this invention that both of the barriers be walls or any other suitable form of barrier.
- the anti-exit means as described in any of the preceding examples is fitted with a spring-loaded mechanism as illustrated in Figure 6.
- the spring, (7) is fitted to the arm, (4) and the lower rail, (3) by insertion in the apertures (8) provided.
- the tension of the spring can be regulated by fitting it to any one of the apertures, (8) in the lower rail, (3).
- a bolt, (9) holds the component parts of the mechanism together.
