(54) Euro-pocket dispenser


(57) It is made of two faces (1a,1b) to put up the hard money with separator elements (2), in the same body with the containment faces, having the function to divide the housing part in seats (3) where the hard money come to run without superimposed one upon another. Said separator elements (2) come to form the outside border of the dispenser (1) so to realized, in continuity with the faces (1a, 1b), the sides (4). In the upper part of the dispenser (1) the closing (5) is provided, the opening movement of which is actuated for circular running on pins (5), fixed on the lateral border, and able to permit the opening for inserting the hard money and to realize, following to the closing, the blocking of the same in the seats (3). In the lower part an elastic blocking closing (7) is provided so to avoid the going out of the hard money for mere running but permitting the going out following to manual traction actuated to the user.




Description


[0001] The invention refers to a new purse characterized to a foundamental innovation that permits to solve the important problem born with the enter in force of the new European money: the EUR. The enter in force of said european only money has created the problem coming from the big quantity of money, considering the variety of the metallic pieces forged everybody obviously with a fixed value. The presence of a so big quantity of metallic money, in which the european only money have been divided, has created a lot of problems from the pratical point of view. Said problems principally caused by the necessity to must take out the money in the requested quantity, to must recognize the same and to must choose the right money so to may pay in correct way the goods bought. The above cited actions determine loss of time with queues which come to form near the check-out counter for the payments and consequently inconveniences 5 for the persons, both for the persons who make the said actions than for that in waiting for the next payment. Said inconveniences determine big problems for all the persons and in particular for the persons with a poor sight who must use the glasses for making actions with the new money. The invented dispenser solves with semplicity, practicalness and functionality the cited problem permitting to have the necessary money in right order with immediateness, without useless encumbrances and without thickening the conventional wallets, already with big dimensions, to must contain the current numerous money that come to be possessed. The invented means consists of a flat dispenser for hard money having on one side elastic closings that come to avoid the taking off of the hard money but following to the traction made to the user whereas on the other side a closing is provided to be opened to place the hard money in the pre-arranged spaces. The invented means consists of a pocket dispenser 1 made of two faces 1a and 1b to put up the hard money with separator elements 2, in the same body with the containment faces, having the function to divide the housing part in seats 3 where the hard money come to. run without superimposed one upon another. Said separator elements 2 moreover come to form the outside border of the dispenser 1 so to realize, in continuity with the faces 1a and 1b, the sides 4. In the upper part of the dispenser 1 the closing 5 is provided, the opening movement of which is actuated for circular running on pins 6, fixed on the lateral border, and able to permit the opening for inserting the hard money and to realize, following to the closing, the blocking of the same in the seats 3. Said closing 5 to be realized in plastic material so to absorb the knocks of the hard money in the longitudinal direction and moreover to have the smaller possible clang for knocks against this plastic surface. Other characteristic consists in the fact that the seats 3, forming the runner of the hard money, have dimensions so to permit to the money to run but they have reduced tolerance to limit the transversal knocks of the same against the housing surfaces and consequently to avoid their superimposition inside the seat. In the lower part of the dispenser 1 an elastic blocking closing 7 is provided so to avoid the going out of the hard money for mere running but permitting the going out following to manual traction actuated to the user. Said closing 7 to be realized with elastic semicircular-shaped elements that, on the base of their foil 1 shape, come to keep the hard money and they permits their passage only when the money are extracted with traction. Moreover, on the base of their elasticity, when the hard money is gone out, they return in the originary position so to keep the other money placed in queue inside the seats 3. To favour the extraction and to can easily grasp the money a notching is provided with upper hollows 8 and under hollows 9. Said hollows 8 and 9 simmetrically realized both onto the upper surface 1a than on the lower surface 1b so to permit the steady grasp of the money to be extracted gone over the elastic reaction given by the foils. The dispenser 1 is to be realized with a variable number of separator elements 2 so to determine a number of housing seats 3 on the base of the number of the money to be contained. Moreover the dimensions of the running seats 3 in width are to be realized on the base of the diameter of the money to be contained whereas the lenght dimension come to change on the base of the capacity that time by time the pocket dispenser must have. The invented dispenser is illustrated in not limiting and indicative way in the drawings of sheet 1, 2 and 3. In sheet 1 figure 1 is lateral view of the distributor 1. Figure 2 is frontal view of the same. Figure 3 is transversal section view. In sheet 2 figure 4 is upper perspective view. Figure 5 is lower perspective view. In sheet 3 figure 6 is whole view of the dispenser 1 for the disposition of the european sole money (EUR).


Claims

1. EUR pocket dispenser consists of a pocket dispen ser (1), characterized in that

- the same is made of two faces (1a, 1b to put up the hard money with separator elements (2), in the same body with the containment faces, having the function to divide the housing part in seats (3) where the hard money come to run without superimposed one upon another; and that

- said separator elements (2) come to form the outisde border of the dispenser (1) so to realize, in continuity with the faces (1a, 1b), the sides (4); and that

- in the upper part of the dispenser (1) the closing (5) is provided, the opening movement of which is actuated for circular running on pins (6), fixed on the lateral border, and able to permit the opening for inserting the hard money and to realize, following to the closing, the blocking of the same in the seats (3); and that
