Abstract (en)

[origin: US6085887A] PCT No. PCT/EP96/05788 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 11, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 11, 1998 PCT Filed Dec. 20, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/25693 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 17, 1997A deposit lock for interconnection of shopping or luggage trolleys or the like, having a housing attachable to the shopping trolley and having on one side an opening for inserting a coupling member and on the other side a opening for inserting a coin and/or a card. An inside of said housing has a holding device for fixing the coupling member in position and a receiving device for secure enclosure of the inserted coin or card, and a release mechanism which releases the coupling member when the coin or card is inserted, and releases the coin or card when the coupling member is inserted. The deposit lock operates in a reliable manner because the release mechanism has a rocker with a swivel pin oriented transversely with respect to the direction of insertion of the coupling member or the coin or card and parallel to the plane of the coin or card, and by inserting the coin or card the rocker can be pivoted in the one direction in which the holding device releases the coupling member, and by inserting the coupling member the rocker can be pivoted in the other direction in which the receiving device releases the coin or card.
