Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a savings device intended to hold captive at least one coin of determined thickness and diameter.
  • This device is of the type constituted by a support comprising at least one flat face having at least one cell with a depth at least equal to the thickness of the coin, at least one face of which is open on one face of the support and the side wall surrounding the coin comprises at least one retaining element, at least one of which, situated on the edge of an open face, is intended by elastic deformation to allow manual insertion of the coin into the alveolus and the other of which, located on the other edge, constitutes a retaining stop.
  • a known device intended for displaying and storing coins described in document DE-A-1934600, generally has the abovementioned characters, without however being strictly speaking a savings device in the sense that it allows both the introduction that the easy removal, without associated means, of the coins stored in the cells.
  • an element located on the edge of an open face of a cell, shown on a single form of the device while the others are without it, is defined as an elastic retaining element allowing the removal of the part. engaged.
  • Savings devices are known, such as piggy banks or cassettes with locks, tamper-proof piggy banks for breaking, tubes for stacking coins as well as bottles, of popular use, which are universally used as savings-reserve means. or retirement savings for future needs.
  • the piggy bank or cassette with lock allows at any time the withdrawal of trapped coins, without requiring its destruction, but does not allow to know the amount of its content. From these facts, the user is tempted to collect the money saved at the first need and he must count it, at the risk of not finding the desired account.
  • the tubes for stacking coins generally calibrated to the diameter of a coin of given value and made of transparent material, make it possible to know at all times the amount of their content, at least for those of them whose walls are graduated according to the thickness in question. But their inviolability is not very effective because of the method of inserting the coins through a slot which can just as easily be used to remove them, and their attractiveness is not very engaging, this last point probably explaining the rarity of their use as a means of 'saving.
  • the invention aims to combine the advantages inherent in the perfect visibility of the coins saved, the inviolability of their imprisonment and the ease of counting the sum they total.
  • the savings device is characterized in that the coin retaining element situated on the edge of an open face of the cell is constituted by a crimping pin with unidirectional flexibility oriented towards the inside of the cell, this crimping pin being intended to ensure the crimping of the coin during its manual insertion into the cell by force and to oppose its subsequent extraction.
  • the coin once pressed into the cell is trapped there and can no longer be removed from it except in a very awkward manner almost inevitably causing the breakage of the support, depending on the material used for its production, or at least the breakage of the retaining element of the edge of the cell, the latter being designed in the form of a crimping pin with unidirectional flexibility oriented towards the interior of the cell. Imprisoned in this way, the coin always has at least one of its two visible sides, which makes it easy to count the amount thus saved.
  • the support is planar and comprises a plurality of cells of different dimensions corresponding to a determined number of coins, the whole of which thus imprisoned also represents a fixed and rounded amount.
  • Figures 1 and 2 are respectively a front view and a side view of the first embodiment.
  • FIG. 3 is a partial section along the cutting axis I-I of FIG. 1.
  • Figures 4 to 7 are partial sections of the four variants of constructive details.
  • Figures 8 and 9 are respectively a front view and a side view of the second embodiment.
  • the savings device shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 in its first embodiment consists of a flat support 1 representing a plurality of cells 2, 3 and 4 with a cylindrical side wall 5, arranged projecting on each of its two faces. .
  • the cells are arranged geometrically like the elements of a rosette and the flat support follows the coutour.
  • Each cell has an open face towards the outside of the support 1 and the edge of this open face includes a retaining element 6 here in the form of an annular bead.
  • the depth of each cell, below the retaining element 6 in question, is equal to the thickness of a coin of given value and the inside diameter of its wall is equal to that of this coin.
  • the inner face of these cells is closed by the flat support 1 itself.
  • the thickness of the side wall 5 and the section of the retaining element 6 are determined as a function of the elasticity of the material used for the production of this device, so as to give this retaining element 6 the quality of a crimping pin with unidirectional flexibility oriented towards the inside of the cell and thus ensuring the crimping of the coin during its manual insertion into the cell by force and to oppose its subsequent extraction, the wall of the bottom constituting retaining stop during this manual insertion by force.
  • the cells and the flat support form a body and the material used to produce it can for example be a plastic material such as polystyrene, molded into shape by thermoforming.
  • the planar support 1 represents on each of its two faces a central cell 2 dimensioned for a two Swiss franc coin, twenty-four cells 3 each dimensioned for a half Swiss franc coin and sixteen cells 4 each dimensioned for a Swiss franc coin, which represents a total sum of sixty Swiss francs which can thus be imprisoned for savings, in coins, in this device.
  • this first embodiment by its flat form, has that of a reduced bulk and ease of storage by stacking, both for the manufacturer and for the user.
  • this savings device also lends itself easily to commercial use, such as for example as a means of exchange for discounted vouchers at bank counters.
  • the devices thus collected by the banks are well suited for storage as well as for sorting and recovering money using a collecting device.
  • the savings device can have any desired shape which can also be in volumes such as, for example, the rectangular, pyramidal or prismatic shapes, because these various shapes include faces which can have one or more cells.
  • the distribution and the design of the cells can be subject to variants:
  • the support 1 only has protruding cells on one of its two faces.
  • the retaining element 6 here also takes the form of an annular bead with unidirectional flexibility and the bottom of the cell is closed by the support 1. This variant is suitable for devices of low capacity and low weight.
  • the cells are integrated into the thickness of the support and only open on one face of the latter.
  • the retaining element 6 also here takes the form of an annular bead with unidirectional flexibility, but it is noted that its section is smaller than in the two previous examples. This may be necessary in such a case to counterbalance the increase in the thickness of the wall 5 of the cell, the latter being integrated into the thickness of the support 1, which causes its elasticity to be reduced.
  • the bottom of the cell is closed by a wall 7 integrated into the support 1 and constituting a retaining stop.
  • This variant is suitable when high robustness is desired.
  • the cell is open on each of the two faces of the support 1.
  • the retaining element of one of its two edges by which the coin is introduced here also consists of a stud ring crimping 8 with unidirectional flexibility oriented towards the inside of the cell.
  • the retaining element on the other edge, constituting a stop, is in the form of a crown 9 of rectangular section projecting from the cell, its internal diameter being much smaller than the diameter of the coin.
  • the support 1 is made in two flat parts laminated or welded, in order to facilitate the molding of the retaining element 8 in one of them, the other part forming the stop 9.
  • the fourth variant shown in Figure 7 achieves the same goals as the previous variant, with the added advantage that the two flat parts constituting the support 1 are strictly identical. These two parts are assembled symmetrically and each comprise, for each cell, an annular crimping pin 8 with unidirectional flexibility.
  • the coin can be introduced by one face or the other of the support 1, either, due to the dual role of the retaining element 8 which allows the coin to be introduced in one direction and constitutes a stop in the other direction.
  • conformations according to these third and fourth variants can also be applied to a savings device having at least one cell on each of its two faces, by simple symmetrical doubling.
  • the wall 5 of the cell can be prismatic instead of cylindrical, each of its sides tangent to the periphery of the coin.
  • the retaining elements can be constituted by individual elements distributed for each edge on each of the sides of the prismatic wall.
  • planar support may include at least one straight edge equipped with assembly elements intended for its connection to another planar support of the same nature.
  • the planar support may consist of a plurality of elements with parallel edges assembled and articulated with one another, each having at least one cell, and allowing by folding to form a prism.
  • the support consists of several planar elements, two of which are shown separated in this figure, one having ten cells 3 sized to trap ten pieces of a half franc and the other two cells 2 dimensioned for two pieces of two francs plus a cell 4 dimensioned for a piece of one franc, these elements each comprising two parallel edges fitted with a plurality of jointing elements 10.
  • These assembly elements 10 are constituted by hinge pins having at one end a stud 11 and at the other end a chamfer 12 followed by a blind hole 13.
  • the pins 10 are spaced from each other by voids substantially equal to their lengths and forming mortises in which the tenons of the other planar element engage.
  • the pins 11 are forced against the chamfers 12 and enter the holes 13 by elasticity of the material used which is here also preferably a molded plastic.
  • a device composed of only two planar elements each comprising only one straight side equipped with assembly elements, the contour of the element opposite to it.
  • rectilinear side which can affect the shape of half of a geometric figure such as for example the shape of a half-square, a semi-circle or a half-rosette.
  • planar elements may not include a hinge and be constituted for example by an assembly of the dovetail type.
