Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Sicherstellen einer ordnungsgemäßen Rückgabe von ausgeliehenen Einkaufswagen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for ensuring the correct return of borrowed shopping carts according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Einrichtungen sind vorzugsweise für Einkaufszentren, Supermärkte, Selbstbedienungsmärkte u.ä. geschaffen, die in zunehmendem Maße vor dem Problem stehen, daß ihre Einkaufswagen von den Kunden nach dem Entladen nicht mehr zu den Eingängen oder den Entnahmestellen zurückgebracht werden, sondern irgendwo auf dem Parkplatz meistens in unmittelbarer Nähe des geparkten Autos stehen gelassen werden. Diese wahllos abgestellten Einkaufswagen müssen dann oft unter großem Personalaufwand ständig eingesammelt werden, damit an den Eingängen immer eine ausreichenceAnzahl Einkaufswagen bereitsteht.Such devices are preferably for shopping centers, supermarkets, self-service markets and the like. created, which are increasingly faced with the problem that their shopping carts are no longer brought back to the entrances or the removal points after unloading, but are left somewhere in the parking lot, usually in the immediate vicinity of the parked car. These indiscriminately placed shopping carts then often have to be constantly collected with great human resources so that there is always a sufficient number of shopping carts at the entrances.

Um diese unnötige Arbeit und die damit verbundenen hohen Personalkosten einzusparen, sind die zur Verfügung gestellten Einkaufswagen in ganz bestimmten Entnahmestellen meistens in der Nähe der Eingänge, zu Reihen ineinandergeschoben, abgestellt und fest miteinander verbunden. Um den letzten abgestellten Wagen einer solchen Reihe entnehmen zu können, muß der Kunde im allgemeinen eine Münze in einen an dem Einkaufswagen angebrachten Münzauswerter einbringen, wodurch dann die feste Verbindung zwischen dem letzten und vorletzten abgestellten Wagen der Reihe gelöst wird und der letzte abgestellte Wagen entnommen werden kann. Wenn der Kunde dann den Einkaufswagen an eine bestimmte Stelle zurückbringt und ihn beispielsweise in einen bereits abgestellten Wagen hineinschiebt und an diesem ankoppelt, erhält er die eingeworfene Münze zurück.In order to save this unnecessary work and the high personnel costs associated with it, the shopping carts provided are usually in very specific points of use near the entrances, pushed into rows, parked and firmly connected. In order to be able to remove the last parked car from such a row, the customer generally has to insert a coin into a coin evaluator attached to the shopping cart, as a result of which the fixed connection between the last and penultimate parked car of the series is then released and the last parked car removed can be. If the customer then brings the shopping cart back to a specific location and pushes it into, for example, a car that has already been parked and connects to it, the coin is returned.

Aufgrund der Ausführung und der Anbringung der Münzauswerter ist es jedoch in vielen Fällen für den Kunden unbequem und mühsam, eine Münze oder Wertmarke in den am Einkaufswagen angebrachten Auswerter einzubringen. Obendrein kann es vorkommen, wenn die Einkaufswagen benachbarter Märkte mit demselben System ausgerüstet sind, daß deren Einkaufswagen gemischt werden.However, due to the design and attachment of the coin evaluators, it is in many cases inconvenient and tedious for the customer to insert a coin or token into the evaluator attached to the shopping cart. On top of that, it can happen if the shopping trolleys of neighboring markets are equipped with the same system that their shopping trolleys are mixed.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, eine kodierbare und vom Kunden einfach und bequem bedienbare Einrichtung zum Sicherstellen einer ordnungsgemäßen Rückgabe von ausgeliehenen Einkaufswagen so auszubilden, daß ein am Einkaufswagen angebrachter Wertmarkenauswerter ohne weiteres auf unterschiedliche Wertmarken umrüstbar ist, und daß ein Mischen und Verwechseln mit fremden Einkaufswagen wirksam verhindert werden kann. Gemäß der Erfindung ist dies bei einer Einrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 durch die Merkmale im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 erreicht. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.The object of the invention is therefore to design a codable and easy and convenient to use device for ensuring the proper return of borrowed shopping carts so that a token reader attached to the shopping cart can be easily converted to different tokens, and that mixing and confusion with third parties Shopping carts can be prevented effectively. According to the invention, this is achieved in a device according to the preamble of claim 1 by the features in the characterizing part of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Da bei der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung als Werktmarkenträger eine in einen Wertmarkenauswerter hineinschiebbare Bedientaste mit einem Münzeinwurfschlitz vorgesehen ist, braucht, um den letzten Wagen von einer abgestellten Wagenreihe zu lösen, nur eine Münze in den Einwurfschlitz eingesteckt zu werden und die Bedientaste in den Wertmarkenauswerter hineingedrückt zu werden, wodurch für den Kunden eine einfache und bequem bedienbare Einrichtung geschaffen ist. Obendrein ist in-der Bedientaste ein auch im späteren Betrieb jederzeit auswechselbarer Wertmarkeneinsatz vorgesehen, so daß der Wertmarkenauswerter jederzeit beispielsweise auf eine höhere Münze umgerüstet werden kann.Since in the device according to the invention as a token holder, a push-button that can be pushed into a token evaluator is provided with a coin slot, in order to detach the last trolley from a parked row of trolleys, only one coin has to be inserted into the topping slot and the push-button has to be pushed into the token reader , which creates a simple and easy-to-use facility for the customer. In addition, a token insert, which can be exchanged at any time in later operation, is provided in the control button, so that the token evaluator can be converted to a higher coin at any time, for example.

Um ein Mischen oder Vertauschen der Einkaufswagen benachbarter Märkte zu verhindern, sind sowohl am Wertmünzenauswerter als auch an dem fest angebrachten Auslöseteil ein fest einstellbarer Kodier- bzw. Einstellring vorgesehen, so daß bei der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung in einfacher Weise eine Kodierung vorgenommen werden kann. Ein Vertauschen oder Vermischen von Einkaufswagen benachbarter Märkte kann dann in einfacher Weise dadurch verhindert werden, daß die an den Einkaufswagen benachbarter Märkte angebrachten Einrichtungen, d.h. die Kodierringge an den Münzauswertern und die zugeordneten Einstellringe an den Auslöseteilen, unterschiedlich eingestellt und damit unterschiedlich kodiert sind.To prevent the shopping trolleys from mixing or swapping neighboring markets, both are out of value coins valued as well as on the fixed trigger part a fixed adjustable coding or adjusting ring is provided, so that coding can be carried out in a simple manner in the inventive device. The exchange or mixing of shopping trolleys from neighboring markets can then be prevented in a simple manner by the fact that the devices attached to the shopping trolleys in neighboring markets, ie the coding ring on the coin evaluators and the associated setting rings on the triggering parts, are set differently and thus coded differently.

Ferner steht von dem Auslöseteil ein im Querschnitt S-förmiger Einführteil vor, an dessen vorderen Ende ein Loch, insbesondere ein Langloch ausgebildet ist, damit nach dem Einführen eines Auslöseteils in einen Wertmarkenauslöser ganz spezielle, in diesem vorgesehene Verriegelungen ver- bzw. entriegelt werden. Dadurch ist dann gleichzeitig verhindert, daß durch Einführen einfacher Hilfsmittel, wie beispielsweise eines Schraubenziehers oder eines S-förmig ausgebildeten Teils der Wertmarkenträger entriegelt werden kann und das Pfand entnommen werden kann, ohne daß der Wagen ordnungsgemäß zurückgebracht und abgestellt worden ist.Furthermore, a protruding S-shaped insertion part protrudes from the release part, at the front end of which a hole, in particular an elongated hole, is formed, so that after the insertion of a release part into a token trigger, very special locks provided therein are locked or unlocked. This then prevents at the same time that by inserting simple aids, such as a screwdriver or an S-shaped part, the token holder can be unlocked and the deposit can be removed without the car being properly returned and parked.

Nachstehend wird die Erfindung anhand einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform im einzelnen erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig.1 einen Teil einer perspektivischen Ansicht eines Wertmarkenauswerters, wobei das Einführen eines Auslöseteils schematisch angedeutet ist, und
  • Fig.2 eine vergrößerte schematische Draufsicht auf das Auslösteteil.
The invention is explained in detail below with the aid of a preferred embodiment. Show it:
  • 1 shows a part of a perspective view of a token evaluator, the introduction of a trigger part being indicated schematically, and
  • 2 shows an enlarged schematic plan view of the trigger part.

In Fig.1 ist in einer perspektivischen Ansicht ein Teil eines Wertmarkenauswerters 1 dargestellt, der vorzugsweise in der Griffmitte eines nicht näher dargestellten Einkaufswagens befestigt ist. Zum Befestigen des Wertmarkenauswerters ist in dessen unteren, in Fig.1 nicht dargestellten Teil eine im Querschnitt etwa halbkreisförmige und sich über die Breite des Wertmarkenauswerters erstreckende Ausnehmung vorgesehen. In diese Ausnehmung wird die ein Hälfte eines rohrförmigen Reduzierteils eingelegt, dessen Innendurchmesser etwa dem Außendurchmesser des Griffs des Einkaufswagens entspricht. Der eine Teil des Wertmarkenauswerters mit der eingelegten Hälfte des Reduzierteils wird dann mit dem Griff in Anlage gebracht und von dessen anderen Seite wird dann die zweite Hälfte des Reduzierrohres aufgesetzt. Zur endgültigen Befestigung wird dann ein dem unteren Abschnitt des Wertmarkenauswerters angepaßter Teil mit Ansätzen in entsprechende Hinterschneidungen im oberen Abschnitt des Wertmarkenauswerters eingeführt und mittels Schrauben an dem Wertmarkenauswerter so gehaltert, daß dieser mit Hilfe des Reduzierrohres an dem Griff des Einkaufswagens in einer vorgegebenen Stellung, beispielsweise unter einer Neigung von 45 bis 60° zur Ladefläche des Einkaufswagens hin, angebracht ist. Die öffnungen für die Schrauben, mit welchen der Wertmarkenauswerter an dem Griff befestigt worden ist, werden mit einem der Farbe des Wertmarkenauswerters angepaßten Material verschlossen. Dadurch ist der Wertmarkenauswerter sicher an dem Griff des Einkaufswagens gehaltert und kann nicht, ohne, ihn stark zu beschädigen oder gar unbrauchbar zu machen, von diesem abgenommen werden.1 shows a perspective view of part of a token evaluator 1, which is preferably in the middle of the handle of a purchase (not shown) car is attached. In order to fasten the token evaluator, a recess which is approximately semicircular in cross section and extends across the width of the token evaluator is provided in its lower part, not shown in FIG. 1. Half of a tubular reducing part is inserted into this recess, the inside diameter of which corresponds approximately to the outside diameter of the handle of the shopping trolley. One part of the token evaluator with the inserted half of the reducing part is then brought into contact with the handle and the other half of the reducing tube is then placed on the other side. For final attachment, a part adapted to the lower section of the token evaluator is then inserted into corresponding undercuts in the upper section of the token evaluator and is held on the token evaluator by means of screws so that it is in a predetermined position, for example, by means of the reducing tube on the handle of the shopping cart is attached at an incline of 45 to 60 ° to the loading area of the shopping cart. The openings for the screws with which the token holder has been fastened to the handle are closed with a material which is matched to the color of the token holder. As a result, the token evaluator is securely held on the handle of the shopping cart and cannot be removed from it without severely damaging it or even rendering it unusable.

In Fig.1 steht von der linken Seitenfläche des Wertmarkenauswerters als Wertmarkenträger eine Bedientaste 2 vor, in der ein austauschbarer Wertmarkeneinsatz 21 mit einem Einwurfschlitz 22 vorgesehen ist. Ferner ist in Fig.1 an der Oberseite des Wertmarkenauswerters 1 ein verstellbarer und anschließend fest einstellbarer Kodierring 11 vorgesehen, von dessen Innenrand zwei diametral gegenüberliegende Vorsprünge 110 vorstehen.In FIG. 1, a control button 2 projects from the left side surface of the token holder as a token holder, in which an interchangeable token insert 21 with an insertion slot 22 is provided. Furthermore, in FIG. 1, an adjustable and subsequently permanently adjustable coding ring 11 is provided on the upper side of the token evaluator 1, from whose inner edge two diametrically opposite projections 110 protrude.

Ferner ist in Fig.1 noch ein Auslöseteil 3 dargestellt, das, wie durch einen Pfeil angedeutet ist, in der dargestellten Lage der Bedientaste 2 in den Kodierring 11 eingeführt sein müßte, das aber, um seine Ausbildung im einzelnen zeigen zu können, als separates Teil dargestellt ist. Das Auslöseteil 3 weist einen verstellbaren ebenfalls fest einstellbaren Stellring 32 auf, in dessen Umfangsfläche zwei diametral gegenüberliegende Einschnitte 320 ausgebildet sind. Hierbei ist der Außendurchmesser des Stellringes 32 und die Form der Einschnitte 320 so bemessen, daß sie in den Kodierring 11 bzw. in die an diesem ausgebildeten Vorsprünge 110 passen. Von dem freien Ende des Auslöseteils 3 steht ein im Querschnitt S-förmiger Einführteil 31 vor, an dessen vorderen Ende ein Langloch 310 ausgebildet ist. Wie aus Fig.2 zu ersehen ist, sind auf der Unterseite 30 des Auslöseteils 3 eine Anzahl, beispielsweise 12, in gleichen Winkelabständen voneinander angeordneter Einstellmarken 33 aufgebracht. Dies bedeutet, der Stellring 32 kann in der dargestellten Ausführungsform in zwölf verschiedene Stellungen eingestellt werden, so daß die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung beispielsweise in zwölf verschiedene Einstellungen kodierbar ist. Selbstverständlich muß der Kodierring 11 an dem Wertmarkenauswerter 1 dem Stellring 32 entsprechend eingestellt werden, damit der Einführteil 31 und der Stellring 32 mit seinen Einschnitten 320 in den Kodierring 11 eingeführt werden können. Durch eine unterschiedliche Einstellung der Kodier- und Stellringe an Wertmarkenauswertern bwz. Auslöseteilen, welche Einkaufswagen benachbarter Märkte zugeordnet sind, kann, wie eingangs bereits angeführt ist, ein Vermischen und Vertauschen der Einkaufswagen dieser beiden benachbarten Märkte wirksam verhindert werden.Furthermore, a trigger part 3 is shown in FIG. 1, which, as indicated by an arrow, should be inserted into the coding ring 11 in the position of the control button 2 shown, but in order to be able to show its design in detail, as a separate one Part is shown. The trigger part 3 has an adjustable, likewise permanently adjustable adjusting ring 32, in the circumferential surface of which two diametrically opposed incisions 320 are formed. The outer diameter of the adjusting ring 32 and the shape of the incisions 320 are dimensioned such that they fit into the coding ring 11 or into the projections 110 formed thereon. From the free end of the trigger part 3 there is an insertion part 31 with a S-shaped cross section, at the front end of which an elongated hole 310 is formed. As can be seen from FIG. 2, a number, for example 12, of adjustment marks 33 arranged at equal angular intervals from one another are applied to the underside 30 of the release part 3. This means that the adjusting ring 32 can be set to twelve different positions in the embodiment shown, so that the device according to the invention can be coded, for example, in twelve different settings. Of course, the coding ring 11 on the token evaluator 1 must be adjusted accordingly to the collar 32 so that the insertion part 31 and the collar 32 with their incisions 320 can be inserted into the coding ring 11. Through a different setting of the coding and adjusting rings on token evaluators. Triggering parts, which are assigned to shopping trolleys of neighboring markets, can, as already mentioned at the beginning, effectively prevent mixing and interchanging of the shopping trolleys of these two neighboring markets.

.Um den letzten abgestellten Wagen einer Reihe ineinander geschobener Einkaufswagen entnehmen zu können, an deren Griffmitte jeweils ein Wertmarkenauswerter 1 angebracht ist, und die über flexibel gehalterte und in die Kodierringe 110 des jeweils vorderen Wertmarkenauswerters eingeführte und verriegelte Auslöseteile 3 fest miteinander verbunden sind, muß der Kunde eine Münze in den Einwurfsschlitz 22 der Bedientaste 2 des an dem zuletzt abgestellten Einkaufswagen der Reihe angebrachten Wertmarkenauswerters einstecken und die Bedientaste 2 in den Wertmarkenauswerter 1 hineindrücken. Dadurch wird das Auslöseteil 3 am vorletzten Wagen entriegelt und kann aus dem Kodierring 11 des letzten abgestellten Wagens herausgezogen werden. Dadurch ist dann der letzte abgestellte Wagen nicht mehr mit der Reihe verbunden und kann herausgezogen und zweckentsprechend benutzt werden.In order to be able to remove the last parked trolley from a row of shopping carts pushed one inside the other, to the center of which a token evaluator 1 is attached, and via flexible holders and into the coding rings 110 of the respective front token evaluator inserted and locked release parts 3 are firmly connected to one another, the customer must insert a coin into the insertion slot 22 of the control button 2 of the token counter attached to the last placed shopping cart in the row and press the control button 2 into the token evaluator 1. As a result, the trigger part 3 is unlocked on the penultimate carriage and can be pulled out of the coding ring 11 of the last parked carriage. As a result, the last parked car is no longer connected to the row and can be pulled out and used for its intended purpose.

Damit der Kunde die in den Einwurfschlitz 22 gesteckte Münze wieder zurückerhält, muß er den von ihm nicht mehr benötigten Wagen zu einer der vorgesehenen Abgabe- oder Sammelstellen zurückbringen und in den letzten, bereits abgestellten Wagen soweit hineinschieben, daß er das an diesem letzten Wagen flexibel angebrachte Auslösteteil 3 in den an seinem Wertmarkenauswerter angebrachten Kodierring 11 einführen kann. Durch das Einführen des Auslöseteils wird dann die Bedientaste entriegelt und wird automatisch aus dem Wertmarkenauswerter in die in Fig.1 dargestellte Lage herausgeschoben, so daß dann der Kunde die von ihm vorher in den Einwurfschlitz 22 der Bedientaste 2 eingesteckte Münze wieder herausnehmen kann.In order for the customer to get the coin back into the slot 22, he must return the car he no longer needs to one of the designated delivery or collection points and push it into the last, already parked car to the extent that he can flexibly do so on this last car attached trigger part 3 can insert into the coding ring 11 attached to its token evaluator. By inserting the trigger part, the control button is then unlocked and is automatically pushed out of the token evaluator into the position shown in FIG. 1, so that the customer can then remove the coin that he previously inserted into the insertion slot 22 of the control button 2.
