  • the present invention relates to an input device for coins or tokens in coin-operated machines and the like, a device that is intended to provide security against fraudulent attempts, since it guarantees the access of coins to the interior of the machine to which be applied, however preventing simultaneous access to the interior of any fraudulent element.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'entrée de monnaie, utilisé dans des appareil actionnés par l'introduction de monnaie ou analogues. Ce dispositif comprend un ensemble de support fixe (1) et un ensemble rotatif mobile (2), tous deux plats, permettant à l'ensemble rotatif mobile (2) de tourner sans axe de rotation. L'ensemble rotatif mobile (2) est conçu pour recevoir la monnaie (6), pour tourner sur lui-même et pour conduire la monnaie (6) vers la sortie (7) qui donne accès au système de validation ou à la caisse de l'appareil dans lequel est utilisé le dispositif. Dans la position de réception de monnaie (6), l'ensemble rotatif mobile (2) ferme la sortie (7) et, dans la position de sortie de monnaie (6), l'ensemble rotatif mobile (2) ferme l'entrée (5). Cette caractéristique permet d'éviter, dans une position comme dans l'autre, l'introduction d'éléments frauduleux ou d'éléments de récupération de monnaie dans l'appareil. Le dispositif comprend également un mécanisme automatique de déblocage qui envoie la monnaie vers une sortie de remboursement (15) lorsque l'ensemble rotatif mobile (2) dépasse la sortie (7).
