ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a device having a base element and a wing arranged on the base element pivotable with a swivel joint, particularly on constructed as a coin-accepting device in a self-collecting vending machine.
STATE OF THE ART
There are the most frequent constructions with which swivelling wings can be arranged on a base element. As a rule, a hinge frame whose two lateral bands are screwed on the base element and the wing is used. In addition to this hinge frame, compact hinges with a pin to be fastened on the respective component are also provided. The familiar hinges require time to install and are as a rule not protected against unauthorized disassembly.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The object of the invention is to create a device with a base element and a wing arranged pivoting on the base element with a swivel joint, in connection with which the swivel joint can be rapidly installed in a simple manner, but cannot be removed without visible destruction. Owing to this destruction, manipulations which are performed in connection with an unauthorized opening on the swivel joint are easily recognizable at all times.
A further object of the invention is to create a coin-accepting device for a self-collecting vending machine which can be economically produced while observing the necessary safety measures against unauthorized removal of money.
ACCOMPLISHING THE OBJECTIVE
The configuration and arrangement of the swivel joint for accomplishing the above-mentioned objectives preferably contributes to the economic production of a coin-accepting device while observing necessary safety measures against unauthorized removal of money. The swivel joint described here is preeminently suitable in connection with a box-like coin-accepting device, and can also be used with other devices where no safety measures against unauthorized removal of the contents must be observed. The swivel joint can be configured in the form of a hinge plate. Compact constructions can also be analogously created, however.
In addition to the coin-accepting devices just mentioned, consoles, casements in window frames, doors in door frames, housing doors etc. can be constructed this way.
In contrast with the known ways offastening swiveljoints with screws or rivets, the invention uses holding elements which snap in which, as described below, can be simply pushed together, but can no longer be separated without destruction. This impossibility of disassembly is an advantage wherever manipulations should be immediately visible, as with the transport of money.
Further areas of use and construction variants emerge from the text below.
