  • a t axameter is used to calculate the fare and is always installed in this capacity in a rental vehicle.
  • the fare calculation is carried out on the basis of an evaluation of two parameters, consisting of route shares and time, from which, according to a predetermined law, multiplication with likewise predetermined factors is used to calculate fare shares and to display them in a display device.
  • a custody transfer test and approval is required, after which the device is sealed in the installed position so that the vehicle owner cannot influence the operation of the device through unauthorized interference.
  • a holding device for simplified, sealable fastening of a taximeter in the vehicle has become known.
  • This device first requires a mounting plate mounted in the vehicle.
  • a base plate with a rear wall is provided as part of the taximeter housing, which is designed as a frame and secures the installation position after the same has been sealed, as part of the taximeter housing.
  • a special cover plate is required to accommodate the supply lines and to secure them, which is connected to the rear wall by plug connections and is secured in the installed position by essentially rectangular, upwardly bent projections on the holding plate.
  • the object of the invention is to realize an electronic flat meter in an extremely flat design for a simple installation which is independent of the vehicle body or its fitting, in any installation position preferred for the driver and the passenger.
  • the device consists of two flat housing shells which can be plugged together by means of locking means and secured by means of a sealable screw connection, in which an electronic taximeter circuit (single board system) combined on a printed circuit board is installed, the front housing shell being the one of the Housing part facing the operator contains the actuating elements and a replaceable writing sheet, the rear housing shell serves as a carrier element for receiving the electronic circuit and equipped with means for supplying the cable connections either from behind or from below, and the rear wall of the same simultaneously as a mounting plate for fastening the device is trained in the vehicle.

  • the rear housing shell serves as a carrier element for receiving the electronic circuit and equipped with means for supplying the cable connections either from behind or from below, and the rear wall of the same simultaneously as a mounting plate for fastening the device is trained in the vehicle.
  • the housing is formed from two flat housing shells that can be plugged together without additional means.
  • the rear housing shell serves to mount the entire electronic circuit arranged on a single circuit board, and the simplest measures are provided which allow the entire cable connections to be routed into the taximeter device either from behind or from below. This means optimizing the prerequisites for installing the taximeter in any preferred position for the driver and passenger.
  • the meter as a E can inbau réelle in an entirely new manner as stem device, for example, on each Unscrew the free surface of the valve body without neglecting the safety measures to protect against manipulation from the outside.
  • the rear wall studs are provided with shaped blind bores through which the device, for example, from the inside to an appropriate F LAE che screwed on the valve is.
  • a multipole diode socket is provided on the single printed circuit board, which is accessible from the outside through the front housing shell and serves the function of connecting a programming and diagnostic connector. Since tariff programming of the taximeter is reserved for authorized agencies only, this function must also be placed under seal protection.
  • an opening secured by a cover plate is provided in the area of the sealable screw in the front housing shell, through which, after removal of the seal and the screw, access for actuating a programming release and test switch on the circuit board can be established.
  • the taximeter essentially consists of only two flat housing shells 1 and 2, in which an electronic taximeter circuit 4 and 5, which is combined on a single printed circuit board 3, is installed in a single-board system referred to in specialist circles.
  • the housing shell 1 is the side facing the operator G e-casing part, and thus contains the actuating elements 6, 7, 8, 9, which are formed as pushbuttons T 1, T 2, T 3, T. 4
  • the actuating elements 6, 7, 8, 9 are inserted into the front housing shell 1 and, when the housing is closed, act on pressure switches 10, 11, 12, 13 which are fixedly arranged in a corresponding position on the inserted circuit board 3.
  • Each individual button T 1 to T is functional 4 or each individual pressure switch 10 to 13 can be assigned a multiple use, which is stored in a memory due to a programmable function assignment.
  • the switch-on and in a repeated actuation of the tariff selection in the sequence Taxbro I to IV Taxch and then further in the states of "cash" and "free” switchable are also possible.
  • the actuation of the pressure switch 11 serves, according to the standard program, to switch backward within the selected tax levels, for example from tax level IV to optionally tax level III to I.
  • an operation of the switch 11 Son functions such as, for example, calling up the control counter values stored in the electronic memories and displaying them in sequence in a data display device 14, which at the same time counts as a fare display device.
  • the actuation of the pressure switch 12 can be used to generate a sum of fare amounts and surcharge amounts and, as a special function, for example a display check that can be initiated manually.
  • an interchangeable writing sheet 15 is provided which can be inserted into the front housing shell 1, which is inserted into the housing shell 1 from behind together with a front pane 16 and is held by molded, projecting strips 17.
  • the two housing shells 1 and 2 can be plugged together via latching means 18, 19, 20 and secured by means of a sealable screw connection 23.
  • the latching means 18, 19, 20 consist of resilient latching arms 18 with latching noses 19 which are integrally formed on the front housing shell 1, which is made of elastomer plastic material, and which, in the assembled position of the two housing shells 1, 2, in cutouts 20 provided on the rear housing shell 2 click into place.
  • the sealable screw connection consists only of a Plombenschale 21, which is inserted into a cutout 22 at the front side of the housing shell 1, and of a fastening screw 23 which lombenschale by the P 21, a through hole 24 in a supporting pillar 25 at the Housing shell 1, finally through a bearing bore 26 in the circuit board 3 into a threaded bore 27 in a support pillar 28 on a rear wall 29 of the housing shell 2 can be screwed.
  • a similar screw connection is on the left side according to FIG. 1 is provided, which is formed due to a similar arrangement and design of a cutout 30 in the housing shell 1 for receiving a further seal shell 21.
  • a second P lomb ist in the case of use, at the target, through breaking of the first seal, although access to a Programmierfreigabe- and test switch 31 on the printed circuit board 3 to be opened all the other protective measures, such as closure of the housing, securing the internal line connections, and the taximeter's installation measures in the vehicle must be retained.
