Definitions

  • the invention relates to a deposit lock for parts to be detachably fastened to one another, such as shopping trolleys and luggage trolleys, with a lock housing fastened to the first part, which has an opening for a deposit and an opening for a coupling member which is fastened to the second part and so long by means of a locking bolt is held locked until the deposit is inserted.
  • the object of the invention is to improve a deposit lock of the type mentioned so that it has small external dimensions with high reliability, few parts and simple manufacture.
  • the deposit is a card and / or a coin that move a control part during insertion, which moves the locking bolt from the locking to the unlocked position.
  • the housing of this deposit lock forms a small, flat box, which can be attached to various parts of the parts to be coupled, in particular the shopping trolley or luggage trolley, while being lightweight.
  • the lock has a high level of functional security and security against break-ins. In the locked state, the coupling member cannot be pulled out even when using raw forces.
  • the lock can be operated optionally, both from a coin and from a card, and that the movable parts arranged in the lock perform only the smallest paths, so that even small actuation movements are performed by the deposit and the coupling member Need to become.
  • the locking bar is a part rotatable about an axis.
  • the locking bar can be connected to the control part, in particular a crank gear.
  • a locking bolt designed in this way is particularly reliable against pulling out the coupling member, since pulling out only produces a stronger locking.
  • control part is a carriage or carriage that can be moved in the direction of insertion of the deposit.
  • the control part should also be displaceable by the deposit against the pressure of a spring element.
  • control part has at least one cavity in which the coupling member and / or the locking bolt lies. It is advantageously proposed that the control part has at least one stop for the card and / or coin. The control part thus takes over important functions of the lock, since it is moved both by the coupling member and by the coin and / or the card.
  • the card and / or coin are locked in the inserted state by a securing part which can be moved into the non-blocking position by the inserted coupling member.
  • the securing part can be moved into the non-locking position by the coupling member against the pressure of a spring element.
  • the securing part has at least one shoulder which engages behind the coin and / or the card in the inserted state in a locking manner on the back.
  • the securing part can have at least one projection, in particular a pin, which penetrates into an opening of the coin and / or the card.
  • a high level of functional reliability with a small design is achieved if a bearing block is fastened, in particular molded, in the housing, which guides the locking bolt and / or the control part.
  • the locking bolt is a part that moves approximately in a straight line from the control part.
  • the control part can be inclined at least one have sliding surface arranged in its direction of movement, on which the locking bolt slides in particular with a locking bolt projection or via an intermediate part.
  • the sliding surface can also be formed by an oblique slot in the control part.
  • the deposit lock has a cuboid housing 1 which corresponds in shape and dimensions to approximately twice the size of a matchbox.
  • the housing 1 is at the bottom and closed and has four vertical side walls and an inner cavity which is open at the top and is closed by a cover 6.
  • the lid 6 attached to the top is pushed on to the side and is held in lateral grooves in the housing 1.
  • a bearing block 2 is fastened, in particular molded onto the housing, which is connected to the bottom of the housing and over which a sled-shaped control part 3 is placed, which corresponds in cross section to an inverted U.
  • the control part 3 thus grips the two sides of the bearing block 2 with its two side walls 3a.
  • a bore 2a is made horizontally transversely to the longitudinal direction of the housing 1, in which a rotatable locking bolt 4 is mounted.
  • the locking bolt 4 has at its two ends two circular disks 4a and an intermediate connecting part 4b, which is located off-center of the disks and has the locking function for the coupling member 7.
  • a pin 4c protrudes axially parallel and serves as a crank for rotating the locking bolt 4.
  • the side walls 3a of the control part 3 each have a vertical slot 3b, in each of which a pin 4c lies. If the control part 3 is moved in the longitudinal direction of the housing, the locking bolt 4 is rotated about its axis.
  • a longitudinal channel 2b is introduced, which corresponds to the cross section of the coupling member 7 and which is aligned with an opening 1a in the end face of the housing 1.
  • the coupling member 7 has a recess, in particular a notch 7a. If the coupling member 7 is pushed into the housing 1 through the opening 1a, the front wedge-shaped tip of the coupling member 7 rotates a surface of the connecting part 4b which extends into the longitudinal channel 2b, so that the locking bolt 4 is rotated, the control part 3 against the pressure the spring 8 moves.
  • a securing part 5 is mounted vertically displaceably in the interior of the housing 1 and has an inclined surface 5a on its upper side which, when the coupling member 7 is inserted, comes into contact with a front wedge surface of the coupling member 7 or its tip.
  • the securing part 5 is held downward in its lower position against the pressure of a compression spring 9 located therein by the coupling member tip.
  • the housing 1 has two further openings 1b and 1c on the end face opposite the opening 1a.
  • a coin can be inserted into the pointed opening 1b as a deposit which, when the securing part 5 is in the lower position, slides over the top of the securing part 5 so far into the housing that it does not, or only slightly, protrude from the outside of the housing.
  • the coin is gripped by two lateral projections 5a projecting from the top of the securing part 5 when the coupling member 7 is at least partially pulled off and the securing part 5 is in its upper position, see FIG. 2.
  • the securing part 5 also has on its upper side 2 vertically projecting pins 5b, which are so far apart that the coin M can be inserted between them.
  • the pins 5b protrude into a longitudinal channel 10 which opens into the slot-shaped opening 1c.
  • a card in particular in the form of a credit card or a key card, can be inserted horizontally into the lock, with holes in the card in the end position standing above the pins 5b, so that in the upper position of the securing part 5 the Pins 5b lock the card against pulling it out.
  • the longitudinal channel 10 is closed in the region of the opening 1c by a locking roller 10 which can be moved through the card and ensures that dirt and dust cannot penetrate into the channel 10.
  • the deposit lock works as follows: If the coupling member 7 is inserted into the opening 1a, it is locked in its end position by the locking bolt 4, as described above. In this end position the coupling member 7 presses the securing part 5 into its position releasing the longitudinal channel 10 and the coin channel and the control part 3 is in its position close to the openings 1b and 1c, into which the control part 3 is pressed by the spring 8. This position is shown in Figure 1.
  • the coin M presses against the transverse wall 3c or the card against a stroke 3d located far inside on the top of the control part 3.
  • the control part 3 rotates the locking bolt 4 into its releasing position via the slots 3b and the pins 4c, the inner upper side of the connecting part 4b coming out of the notch 7a of the coupling member and assuming a horizontal position.
  • the connecting part 4b is no longer in the longitudinal channel 2b and the coupling member 7 can be pulled out freely.
  • the coupling member 7 When the coupling member 7 is pulled out, its tip releases the securing part 5 so that it can move upward and lock the coin and / or the card with the projection 5a and / or the pins 5b. Thus, the coin and / or card remain held in the deposit lock until the coupling member 7 is inserted again and the securing part 5 is pressed down into the release position by the coupling member 7.
  • the second exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 7 and 8 differs from that according to FIGS. 1 to 6 in that the locking bolt is not rotated by the control part but is shifted.
  • the locking bolt 4a is thus displaceable at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the lock and to the longitudinal axis of the coupling member in the housing and / or in the bearing block 2 and has a projection 13 which lies in an oblique slot 12 of the control part 3. If the control part 3 is moved by a few millimeters by a coin / card, the locking bolt 4a comes out of the recess of the coupling member and the coupling member is free.
