Abstract

Slot for magnetic or electronic card reader appliances, intended to prevent withdrawal of the card during the processing of the information. It comprises an electrical connector which is movable in translation and actuates mechanical means which lock the card. Unlocking means are provided to return the card to the user after the transaction.

Description

La présente invention concerne les guichets pour lecteurs de cartes magnétiques ou électroniques. Ces guichets ont pour but d'empêcher le retrait des dites cartes pendant le traitement des informations qu'elles contiennent. par une machine d'exploitation.The present invention relates to counters for magnetic or electronic card readers. The purpose of these counters is to prevent the withdrawal of said cards during the processing of the information they contain. by an operating machine.

Dans les dispositifs connus ce de genre, après introduction de la carte dans une fente il y a lieu d'abaisser un volet qui la coiffe et se verrouille pendant toute la durée du traitement.In known devices of this type, after inserting the card into a slot, it is necessary to lower a flap which covers it and locks throughout the duration of the treatment.

Ces dispositifs sont complexes et nécesitent de la part de l'utilisateur deux mouvements distincts à savoir, l'introduction de la carte dans une fente et la manipulation d'un volet.These devices are complex and require two distinct movements on the part of the user, namely, the introduction of the card into a slot and the handling of a flap.

Le dispositif selon l'invention a pour but d'éviter ces inconvénients. Dans celui-ci en effet la simple introduction de la carte dans une fente a pour conséquence son verrouillage momentané.The device according to the invention aims to avoid these drawbacks. In this one, in fact, the simple introduction of the card into a slot results in its momentary locking.

J
Pour ce faire. le dispositif comprend un connecteur électrique. mobile en translation sous l'effet de la poussée de la carte. qui est ensuite maintenu en position fin de course par des moyens mécaniques, associés à des moyens de verrouillage de la carte.J
To do this. the device includes an electrical connector. mobile in translation under the effect of the push of the card. which is then held in the end position by mechanical means, associated with card locking means.

Les moyens destinés à maintenir le connecteur en fin de course. associés à des moyens de verrouillage de la carte, consistent en un levier articulê.soumis à l'action d'un ressort de rappel le maintenant au contact du connecteur.The means intended to maintain the connector at the end of the stroke. associated with card locking means, consist of an articulated lever subject to the action of a return spring keeping it in contact with the connector.

Ce levier prend deux positions stables, selon l'absence ou la présence d'une carte dans la fente, du fait de la position correspondante du connecteur électrique. This lever takes two stable positions, depending on the absence or presence of a card in the slot, due to the corresponding position of the electrical connector.

Le dessin annexé illustre, à titre d'exemple, un mode de réalisation d'un dispositif conforme à la présente invention.The accompanying drawing illustrates, by way of example, an embodiment of a device according to the present invention.

Tel que représenté fig.l. le guichet se compose d'un bâti 1. par exemple moulé en zamac ou en matériau plastique, pourvu d'une fente 11 aux dimensions d'une carte de crédit et des formes nécessaires pour servir de butées 13-14. et de guides 12-13-16-17.As shown in fig.l. the counter is made up of a frame 1. for example molded of zamak or plastic material, provided with a slot 11 with the dimensions of a credit card and with the shapes necessary to serve as stops 13-14. and guides 12-13-16-17.

Un connecteur électrique 2 peut se déplacer en translation entre les guides 16 et 17 sous l'action d'un ressort de compression 20. En l'absence de carte, le connecteur vient en appui sur l'élément 13. Lors de son introduction dans la fente 11, une carte 7 glisse entre les guides 12-13 et vient s'enficher dans le connecteur 2 alors en position haute 2'.An electrical connector 2 can move in translation between the guides 16 and 17 under the action of a compression spring 20. In the absence of a card, the connector comes to bear on the element 13. During its introduction into the slot 11, a card 7 slides between the guides 12-13 and is plugged into the connector 2 then in the high position 2 '.

Afin que l'introduction de la carte soit assez profonde, un dégagement 15 est prévu sur la face avant du bâti pour laisser le passage au doigt de l'usager(fig.2).So that the introduction of the card is deep enough, a clearance 15 is provided on the front face of the frame to allow passage for the user's finger (fig. 2).

Dans cette configuration, le connecteur 2 agit sur un contact fin de course 6 et libère un levier 3 qui pivote autour d'un axe 4. sous l'action d'un ressort 30. Une patte pliée 32 recouvre alors le connecteur 2 est le maintient en place avec la carte. En outre, le levier 3 possède deux autres pattes 31 qui viennent en appui sur un élément 14 de telle sorte qu'elles recouvrent également, avec un léger jeu, la carte 7 qui ne peut ainsi plus être extraite du dispositif. In this configuration, the connector 2 acts on a limit switch 6 and releases a lever 3 which pivots around an axis 4. under the action of a spring 30. A folded tab 32 then covers the connector 2 is the holds in place with the card. In addition, the lever 3 has two other tabs 31 which come to bear on an element 14 so that they also cover, with slight play, the card 7 which can thus no longer be removed from the device.

Son extraction nécessite une action sur le levier 3. Pour ce faire. un prolongement 34 de ce levier est actionné.Its extraction requires action on lever 3. To do this. an extension 34 of this lever is actuated.

par exemple. par un électro-aimant 5, recevant une impulsion électrique en fin d'opération de traitement de la carte. Cette action sur le levier 3 peut être obtenue.for example. by an electromagnet 5, receiving an electrical pulse at the end of the card processing operation. This action on lever 3 can be obtained.

en variante. soit par un moteur ou soit par bouton de commande manuelle.alternatively. either by a motor or by manual control button.

Cette action selon la flèche F1 a pour effet de faire pivoter le levier 3 dans le sens de la flèche F2. ce qui permet de dégager la carte et de libérer le connecteur électrique de la patte 32.This action according to arrow F1 has the effect of pivoting the lever 3 in the direction of arrow F2. which allows the card to be released and the electrical connector to be released from lug 32.

Dans cette position. la carte peut être retirée de la fente 11 et le levier 3 reste dans cet état car la patte 32 appuie alors sur le flanc du connecteur revenu en position haute.In this position. the card can be removed from the slot 11 and the lever 3 remains in this state because the tab 32 then presses on the side of the connector returned to the high position.

Ce dispositif se prête particulièrement bien à la réalisation de guichets pour machine de gestion utilisant des cartes comme support d'information. This device lends itself particularly well to the production of counters for a management machine using cards as an information medium.
