Problems solved by technology

However, the coin-operated lock described in EP 1 694 933 B1 does not have a penalty function and therefore does not allow locking of the coin-operated lock without a coin inserted in the lock

Embodiment Construction

[0031] figure 1 shows the outside of a coin lock according to one embodiment of the invention. The coin lock shown is of the so called double rail type and can be operated by a user key after two coins have been inserted. The coin-operated lock comprises a lock housing or housing 1 ; and a bolt, which in the embodiment shown is constituted by a hook-shaped bolt. On the upper edge face in the figure of the coin lock, the lock housing is provided with two mutually aligned, elongated coin holes (not shown) for inserting a first and a second coin.

[0032] Figures 2 to 6 Some of the internal components of the coin lock are shown in with the lock housing removed. From figure 2 It can be seen that the locking bolt 3 is arranged so that it can move between a rear position and a front position. The bolt 2 is fixedly connected to the bolt piece 3 and is movable together with the bolt piece 3 relative to the housing.

[0033] Figures 3 to 6 The follower 4 shown in has a groove...

Abstract

Coin-operated lock comprising a lock housing (1), a lock cylinder having a cylinder core (50), a bolt piece (3), and a follower (4), which is rotatable about a rotational axis and is coupled to the cylinder core and the bolt piece to allow operation of the bolt piece by means of a key inserted in the cylinder core. In the absence of a coin inserted in the lock housing, a blocking device (6, 7) prevents movement of the bolt piece. A decoupling device is designed to decouple the blocking device. The decoupling device comprises a driver (20) and a coupling member (30). The driver is arranged radially outside the follower (4), rotatably about the rotational axis of the follower, and comprises a decoupling member (21, 22) designed to decouple the blocking device. The coupling member (30) is arranged on the follower so that it is radially displaceable between an inner position and an outer position, and comprises an inner (35) and an outer (34) end. The coupling member is designed to be displaced, upon insertion of a service key (60) in the cylinder core and upon contact between the inner end and a code surface (65) arranged on the service key, from an inner to an outer position, in which outer position the outer end can engage with the driver in order to achieve, upon rotation, decoupling of the blocking device from the bolt piece.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to coin-operated locks, and more particularly to a coin-operated lock of the type defined in the preamble to the first aspect. [0002] Such coin-operated locks can be used, for example, in lockers and safes in public places, such as sports centers, swimming pools, railway stations, airports and the like. [0003] The coin-operated lock may operate on a mortgage principle, wherein inserted coins are returned after use, and / or the coin-operated lock may operate on a payment principle, wherein coins are not returned. [0004] A coin lock may be configured to allow use of the coin lock upon insertion of a single, two or sometimes more coins through the coin aperture or through corresponding coin apertures. If two or more coins are required for use, the coin lock can be configured to require coins of different denominations to allow use. [0005] Especially in cases where the coin lock is constructed to refund at least one coi...
