Abstract

The lock for securing shopping trolleys includes a body within which there are two levers (14) which can be pivoted by the introduction of a coin (13). This displaces their free ends in order to withdraw two slides (17) which then free the inserted tongue (10) which is held within the lock. Two further pivoting plates (19) within the lock turn about vertical axes in order to exert a force to eject the coin when the lock is in the required state. ADVANTAGE - The lock has a simple mechanism and is made of aluminium resisting forcing; the lever minimises friction.

Description

Serrure à pièce pour l'amarrage de chariots de supermarchés
La présente invention concerne une serrure à pièce pour l'amarrage de chariots de supermarchés.
Coin lock for securing supermarket trolleys
The present invention relates to a coin lock for securing supermarket trolleys.

On connaît des serrures de ce genre, qui sont toutes constituées pour être utilisées à l'amarrage de chariots de supermarches.Locks of this kind are known, which are all made up for use in mooring supermarket trolleys.

Ces serrures actuellement utilisées diffèrent entre elles par leur réalisation constructive.These locks currently used differ from each other by their constructive construction.

Dans la majorité des cas, ces serrures présentent une carcasse en matière plastique, de sorte qu'il est facile de les déformer.In the majority of cases, these locks have a plastic carcass, so that it is easy to deform them.

Le système de fixation à la barre du chariot ne présente pas une grande sécurité.The attachment system to the carriage bar does not offer great security.

Le mécanisme de la serrure est complexe quant au nombre de pièces et à la relation entre celles-ci, de sorte que les serrures actuelles ne sont pas très compétitives.The mechanism of the lock is complex as to the number of parts and the relationship between them, so that current locks are not very competitive.

Ces caractéristiques et d'autres font que les serrures actuelles posent de grands problèmes tant dans la fabrication que dans l'utilisation.These and other features make today's locks a big problem both in manufacturing and in use.

Pour éviter ces inconvénients, on propose la serrure à pièce selon l'invention pour l'amarrage de chariots, qui présente les avantages suivants par rapport aux serrures connues - La pièce qui bloque et libère le crochet ou levier de fermeture, et sur laquelle glisse le levier, les pièces de monnaie et les bielles viennent en contact par de faibles surfaces, étant dotées de creux qui diminuent le frottement.To avoid these drawbacks, the coin lock according to the invention is proposed for mooring trolleys, which has the following advantages compared to known locks - The part which blocks and releases the hook or closing lever, and on which slides the lever, the coins and the connecting rods come into contact through small surfaces, being provided with hollows which reduce friction.

- La carcasse de la serrure, le couvercle et les brides sont en aluminium. - The frame of the lock, the cover and the flanges are made of aluminum.

- Le mécanisme est simple et ne requiert pas une maind'oeuvre qualifiée.- The mechanism is simple and does not require skilled labor.

- Le système d'amarrage de la serrure à la barre du chariot est réalisé par deux brides qui portent les éléments saillants pointus qui s'enfoncent dans la surface de la barre du chariot pour éviter la rotation.- The system for securing the lock to the carriage bar is produced by two flanges which carry the sharp projecting elements which sink into the surface of the carriage bar to prevent rotation.

- Pour enlever ou démonter l'appareil à pièce, il faut démonter les brides.- To remove or disassemble the unit by piece, the flanges must be disassembled.

- La fixation de la chaîne se fait par une goupille.- The chain is fixed by a pin.

Selon l'invention, la serrure à pièce pour l'amarrage de chariots de supermarchés est constituée par un bloc prismatique présentant un évidement latéral périmétral dans lequel s'emboîte le couvercle de fermeture fixé au moyen de vis.According to the invention, the coin lock for securing supermarket trolleys is constituted by a prismatic block having a lateral perimeter recess into which the closure cover fixed by means of screws fits.

Le bloc présente une chaîne, reliée au bloc par une goupille.The block has a chain, connected to the block by a pin.

A son extrémité libre, la chaîne est solidarisée à l'élément d'accouplement ou de fermeture de la serrure.At its free end, the chain is secured to the coupling or closing element of the lock.

Sur sa face supérieure, le bloc présente une série de creux et d'évidements pour positionner deux leviers pivotants qui sont positionnés à tout moment sous l'action élastique de ressorts respectifs.On its upper face, the block has a series of recesses and recesses for positioning two pivoting levers which are positioned at all times under the elastic action of respective springs.

Ces leviers présentent dans la zone de pivotement une forme en arc, de telle sorte que, lors de l'introduction d'une pièce de monnaie par l'ouverture latérale de la serrure, cette pièce déplace latéralement lesdits leviers déplaçant en même temps deux éléments plans d'extrémité vers l'extérieur.These levers have an arcuate shape in the pivoting area, so that, when a coin is inserted through the lateral opening of the lock, this coin laterally displaces said levers displacing two elements at the same time end planes outwards.

Cette position de pivotement des leviers est fixée au moyen de deux plaques pivotant dans une direction perpendiculaire au plan des leviers, lesquelles plaques présentent des évidements d'extrémité respectifs rectilignes qui ont pour effet de fixer en position les leviers lorsqu'ils ont pivoté sous l'action de la pièce de monnaie. This pivoting position of the levers is fixed by means of two plates pivoting in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the levers, which plates have respective rectilinear end recesses which have the effect of fixing the levers in position when they have pivoted under the action of the coin.

Les plaques pivotent sous l'action elastique de deux ressorts.The plates pivot under the elastic action of two springs.

La serrure présente, à l'oppose de l'ouverture d'introduction de la pièce, une autre ouverture par laquelle on introduit le levier de fermeture du chariot adjacent.The lock has, opposite the opening for introducing the part, another opening through which the closing lever of the adjacent carriage is introduced.

Lors de son introduction, ce levier déplace latéralement les deux éléments plans d'extrémité qui, à leur tour, font pivoter vers l'extérieur les leviers pivotants et sont maintenus en position par le pivotement de la plaque.When introduced, this lever moves the two end planar elements laterally which, in turn, pivot the pivoting levers outwards and are held in position by the pivoting of the plate.

Le levier de fermeture est verrouillé par les éléments plans latéraux et en même temps exerce une pression sur un ressort d'extrémité disposé en vis-à-vis qui coopèe à l'expulsion du levier de fermeture quand on introduit la pièce de monnaie.The closing lever is locked by the lateral planar elements and at the same time exerts pressure on an end spring arranged opposite which cooperates in the expulsion of the closing lever when the coin is introduced.

Afin de mieux faire comprendre la forme et la constitution de la serrure à pièce selon l'invention, on décrira ci-après un exemple pratique de réalisation, ce mode d'exécution étant purement illustratif et en aucun cas limitatif de l'invention, en se référant aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels - la figure 1 est une vue en perspective de la serrure à pièce selon l'invention; - la figure 2 est une vue de dessus montrant les deux positions de fonctionnement de la serrure de la figure 1; et - la figure 3 est une vue en coupe montrant la fixation de la serrure à pièce sur la barre d'un chariot de supermarché.In order to better understand the shape and construction of the coin lock according to the invention, a practical embodiment will be described below, this embodiment being purely illustrative and in no way limitative of the invention, in with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which - Figure 1 is a perspective view of the coin lock according to the invention; - Figure 2 is a top view showing the two operating positions of the lock of Figure 1; and - Figure 3 is a sectional view showing the attachment of the coin lock to the bar of a supermarket cart.

Les dessins montrent la serrure à pièce 1 selon l'invention, qui se fixe sur la barre 2 d'un chariot de supermarché non représenté.The drawings show the coin lock 1 according to the invention, which is fixed on the bar 2 of a supermarket trolley, not shown.

La serrure 1 comprend un corps ou bloc 3 et un couvercle 4. The lock 1 comprises a body or block 3 and a cover 4.

Au bloc sont assemblées deux brides 5 qui servent à monter la serrure sur le chariot, au moyen de vis 6. De plus, les brides présentent un élément saillant pointu 7 qui s'enfonce dans la barre, figure 3.To the block are assembled two flanges 5 which are used to mount the lock on the carriage, by means of screws 6. In addition, the flanges have a pointed projecting element 7 which is inserted into the bar, FIG. 3.

Le bloc 3 présente un évidement périmétral 8 qui facilite l'assemblage du couvercle 4.The block 3 has a perimeter recess 8 which facilitates the assembly of the cover 4.

Dans le bloc se fixe une chaîne 9 à laquelle est solidarisé à son extrémité libre le levier de fermeture 10.In the block is fixed a chain 9 to which the closing lever 10 is secured at its free end.

La figure 2 montre les mécanismes de la serrure dans deux positions. La position de repos est représentée en trait plein et la position active en trait interrompu.Figure 2 shows the mechanisms of the lock in two positions. The rest position is shown in solid lines and the active position in broken lines.

La serrure présente deux ouvertures opposées 11 et 12. Dans la première, on introduit la pièce de monnaie 13 qui fait pivoter les leviers pivotants 14 autour de leurs axes 15 sous la pression exercée par la pièce sur les conformations en arc 16.The lock has two opposite openings 11 and 12. In the first, the coin 13 is introduced, which pivots the pivoting levers 14 about their axes 15 under the pressure exerted by the coin on the arcuate conformations 16.

Le pivotement des leviers 14 fait se déplacer les éléments plans 17 vers l'extérieur à l'encontre de l'action des ressorts 18, tandis que les plaques 19 pivotent autour de leurs axes 20 et verrouillent les leviers 14.The pivoting of the levers 14 causes the planar elements 17 to move outwards against the action of the springs 18, while the plates 19 pivot around their axes 20 and lock the levers 14.

Le levier de fermeture, libéré par les éléments plans 17, est expulsé sous l'action du ressort 21, libérant le chariot qui peut être utilisé pour des achats.The closing lever, released by the planar elements 17, is expelled under the action of the spring 21, releasing the carriage which can be used for purchases.

Quand on ramène le chariot pour récupérer la pièce de monnaie, on réintroduit le levier de fermeture, ce qui fait pivoter les leviers 14 dans le sens de la libération de la pièce.When the carriage is brought back to recover the coin, the closing lever is reintroduced, which makes the levers 14 pivot in the direction of release of the coin.

Les caractéristiques décrites ci-dessus et représentées dans les dessins sont susceptibles de modifications de détail dès lors que le principe fondamental de l'invention n'est pas altéré. The characteristics described above and represented in the drawings are liable to modifications of detail as long as the fundamental principle of the invention is not altered.
