摘要:
The invention relates to a deposit lock for interconnection of shopping or luggage trolleys or the like, comprising a housing attachable to the shopping trolley and having on one side an opening for inserting a coupling member and on the other side a opening for inserting a coin and/or a card. The inside of said housing has a holding device for fixing the coupling member in position and a receiving device for secure enclosure of the inserted coin or card, and a release mechanism which releases the coupling member when the coin or card is inserted, and releases the coin or card when the coupling member is inserted. The deposit lock operates in a reliable manner in that the release mechanism has a rocker with a swivel pin oriented transversely to the direction of insertion of the coupling member or the coin or card and parallel to the plane of the coin or card, and by inserting the coin or card the rocker can be pivoted in the one direction in which the holding device releases the coupling member, and by inserting the coupling member it can be pivoted in the other direction in which the receiving device releases the coin or card.

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen stapelbaren Transportwagen, der mit einem Münzpfandschloß ausgestattet ist, um ihn gegen Eingabe einer Pfandmarke abzukoppeln bzw. gegen Rückgabe der Pfandmarke wieder anzukoppeln. Zum Verfahren des Transportwagens ist er an einem hinteren Ende mit einer sich quer erstreckenden, zwischen zwei seitlichen Tragarmen mit endständigen Griffkappen angeordneten Griffstange versehen. Der Münzautomat ist unmittelbar seitlich an die eine Griffkappe einstückig angeformt und an seiner gegenüberliegenden Seite mit einer Aufnahme für die entsprechend verkürzte Griffstange versehen.

Appareil à pièce (3) permettant d'attacher des chariots à provisions (C1, C2, C3) ensemble en une série emboîtée, dans un espace de parcage de chariots, présentant un mécanisme à pièces (3) montées sur un chariot, par exemple sur le manche (H) du chariot, lequel est adapté pour recevoir et pour verrouiller de manière libérable une barre de blocage (5) sur une attache (7), laquelle est attachée au chariot suivant dans la série emboîtée, necessitant le dépôt d'une pièce (Q) afin de libérer la barre de blocage (5) de manière à libérer le chariot et à permettre à un utilisateur de s'en servir, et maintenant la pièce (a) jusqu'à ce que l'utilisateur ramène le chariot à l'espace de parcage de chariots, l'emboîte dans le dernier chariot se trouvant sur l'espace de parcage, et insère la barre de blocage (5), laquelle est attachée audit dernier chariot dans le mécanisme (3), afin d'attacher le chariot ramené à la série et de restituer sa pièce à l'utilisateur.
摘要:
A trolley locking device of the type comprising two co-operating parts, one of which is attached to each of two trolleys and whereof one part is a lock unit (4) and the other is a key unit (6). The key and lock units are adapted to be releasable locked together with a coin or token is introduced into a slot (12) the side of the lock unit which enables the key (6) to move a plug inside the lock unit (4) axially to free the plug for rotation between two terminal positions thereof. The key (6) engages the coin or token which acts as the medium for creating axial movement of the plug which is biased against such movement. Co-operating formations on the plug and lock unit prevent rotation of the plug unless moved axially againstthe bias applied to the plug. The coin or token can only be removed whilst the key and lock unit are engaged and the key can only be removed from the lock unit when a coin or token is present in the latter.

A cart management apparatus for retaining and vending carts such as luggage carts, shopping carts, and strollers, includes a retaining rail for receiving cart keys disposed on the carts, a rotatable paddlewheel including a plurality of paddles, at least one of which projects into the retaining rail to provide an obstruction therein, an electromagnetic brake coupled to the paddlewheel to selectively inhibit rotation of the paddlewheel and restrict removal of cart keys from the rail, and a one-way clutch, also coupled to the paddlewheel to allow free rotation of the paddlewheel in a return direction to allow cart keys to be inserted into the retaining rail when carts are returned to the apparatus. The preferred apparatus may be used with existing carts which are retrofit with cart keys that are suitable for being retained within the rail. Furthermore, a plurality of electronic sensors are utilized to detect the removal and return of carts to the apparatus and thereby prevent theft or rewards dispensed by the system. In particular, one such sensor utilizes a transmitter and a receiver which are coupled to a transmitter and receiver of a cart key located in close proximity thereto to determine whether a valid cart key is being detected by the sensor, as well as the unique identity of that cart key, so that the apparatus may maintain a queue of the carts retained therein. A control unit in the preferred apparatus utilizes a non-volatile audit memory mounted in the apparatus for storing system parameters such as statistical and configuration information, whereby if the control unit is replaced the system parameters may be restored to the new control unit.

A security system for protecting articles (8), the system comprising at least one Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) loop (4), one Emitting Unit (7) and one Detecting Unit (9) attached to each article (8) to be protected, the Detecting Unit (9) having a detector to detect electromagnetic fields emitted by the EAS loop (4) and the Emitting Unit (7) and to distinguish between them, and an alarm generator for generating an alarm if a predetermined sequence of fields is detected. The system combines existing EAS loops (4) normally present in a retail store with Emitting Units (7) and Detecting Units (9) so as to monitor movement of articles (8), especially supermarket trolleys, around the retail store.
