• – ein Schieber, der auf der oben geneigten schiefen Ebenen angeordnet ist,
• – der Anschlag der Zunge verfügt über eine Verlängerung, die die Zunge in einer der schrägen Rasten des Schiebers positioniert, wird.

By the patent US-A-5,573,098 a lock is known, which according to the preamble of the invention claims 1, an opening with appropriate means of payment, in this case for its opening by a card with corresponding openings provides. It consists of a tongue lock with latch and a rotatable tongue stop which prevents movement of the tongue until the insertion of the appropriate means of payment into the lock is completed. In addition, the castle consists of:

• A guide of a fixed card corresponding to the space for inserting the card and having one or more holes to be assigned to the position of the corresponding hole or holes on the card;
• A slide arranged on the inclined top inclined planes,
• - The stop of the tongue has an extension, which positions the tongue in one of the inclined notches of the slide.

The Problem arises when a user already has a number of attachments features, such as: counters in a club, box offices of sports halls etc., their locks with coins actuated be, and he will have a chance wishes To transform them so that the said locks work with map. It is about the existing or installed possibilities of the castle. That's why the additional, to be developed mechanism easy and cheap. This is Subject of the invention.

It is also the subject of the invention that the card used retained will, while the lock is closed.

It is also the subject of the invention that the lock is not with any open any card can be, but only with a specific card for this new type of lock is provided. These designated cards can be personalized.

If the user already uses a coin-operated lock, as for example in the European patent 02380122.8 described, the tongue and the tongue stop of the said castle are specially and easily modified. An additional housing with a card guide and a slider is added. The corresponding card thus triggers a horizontal movement of the slider when inserted vertically into the card guide. With him, the latch of the tongue moves with its pawl.

In particular, the closure of the authorized coin opening and the insertion opening for the card is to respect the object of the present invention. This is characterized by:

• - Specified space communicating with a recess and the slider, which has a few steps with inclined flanks which are open to the bottom and so serve as a guide for the card, so that when the card is inserted vertically into the guide of the card pushes it with its tip by its horizontal movement on the ramp of the stage of the barrier,
• The slider moves through a transverse recess, to the lock, which consists of a flexible arm and a movable head, so that it touches one or several sensitive cams so that they can penetrate into the hole (s) of the card,
• - The tongue has a cam on the flexible arm and the tongue has a stop which abuts the head of the arrester and limits the movement of the tongue by the designated cam is not actuated by the flexible arm of the arrester and by the or Piston of the flexible arm of the arrester can not penetrate into the hole or holes on the card.

He is preferably characterized because the device for blocking through a tail in the card guide is attached.

He is preferably characterized because the device for blocking is housed in a transverse window of the slider, through which the resilient button of the tongue extends.

He is preferably characterized because the spring button (s) from the head of the device for blocking in shape and position with the opening (s) (s) must be combined in the card.

Around to understand the object of the present invention, one puts in the drawings is a preferred form of practical implementation, this one is independent of changes of accessories and does not affect the basic idea defined in the following patent claims becomes.

The 1 is an exploded view to illustrate the meaning of the components of the castle, which are the subject of the invention.

The 2 is a view of 1 , rotated 180 °.

The 3 is a front view of, above the card guide ( 2 ) mounted castle ( 3 ) and the housing (c).

The 4 shows a schematic representation of the combination of map ( 1 ), the blocking device ( 6 ) and the tongue ( 4 ) the invention.

In the 1 and 2 the housing (s) have not been shown. The mechanisms for operating the lock with key, the devices for the use of coins for opening were not shown, because they are not necessary for the understanding of the invention and with a view to its explanation.

you below describes an example of the practical embodiment which do not limit the present invention.

In the locks, in a known manner, means are provided around the tongue ( 4 ) with its pawl ( 41 ), and via a rotatable stop of the tongue ( 5 ), the movement of the tongue ( 4 ) until the introduction of the corresponding coin has taken place (application European Patent 02380122.8 ).

It is a mechanism subject of the invention, the tongue ( 5 ) of the lock releases / blocks when an authorized or unauthorized card is used.

In accordance with the invention, the tongue ( 4 ) via a button ( 42 ) and a stop ( 43 ), and from the stop of the tongue ( 5 ) based on an extension ( 51 ).

A guide for the card ( 2 ) is attached to the case of the lock (c) and has a room ( 21 ) to insert the card ( 1 ).

A slider ( 3 ) can be guided horizontally in the card guide ( 2 ) move.

The slider ( 3 ) has a transversal window ( 33 ) for the location of a blocking device ( 6 ) whose one end ( 61 ) on the card guide ( 2 ) and its other end at the head of the blocking device ( 62 ) is attached, that the slider ( 3 ) remains free. He also has a few windows ( 31 ) for the positioning of some guide means, in this case guide pins ( 22 ) of the card guide ( 2 ).

From the head of the blocking device ( 62 ) are one or more resilient buttons out ( 63 ). These penetrate the opening (s) ( 11 ) the map ( 1 ) to enable the connection of the card / lock.

You have some steps above ( 37 ) on the slide ( 3 ), which in a few recesses ( 27 ) of the card guide ( 2 ), thus allowing its horizontal displacement.

When the card ( 1 ) in the room ( 21 ) of the card guide has been inserted ( 2 ) presses its inside edge ( 13 ) (right / left) on a ramp ( 34 ) of the inclined steps ( 37 ) within the slider ( 3 ) and thus causes a horizontal displacement against the force of a counter-pressure spring (m).

The slider ( 3 ) has above detents ( 36 ) with ramps ( 35 ) (right / left), in which the extension ( 51 ) engages the stop of the tongue ( 5 ). How to solve the horizontal movement of the slider ( 3 ) the sliding / rising of the extension ( 51 ), the rotation / rising of the stop of the tongue ( 5 ) and the release of the blocking of the tongue ( 4 ) out.

With this solution The lock may already work, but it could work with some card and also could the card is pulled out with the lock open or closed, which would be a disadvantage.

It is in accordance with the invention if the lock works with a predetermined card alone and if the lock is made so that the card can be held back with the tongue displaced. It has the device for blocking ( 6 ), which consists of a flexible arm ( 64 ), Head ( 62 ) and a fixed part ( 61 ) and the tongue ( 4 ) has a stop ( 43 ) connected to a head of the blocking device ( 62 ), if the tongue ( 4 ) ( 4 ) is moved to limit the movement.

The horizontal displacement of the tongue ( 4 ) brings with it that the button ( 42 ), resting on the flexible arm ( 64 ) is forced to move from the top of the blocking device ( 62 ), so he through an opening ( 23 ) of the card guide ( 2 ) with his button ( 63 ) and thus into the opening ( 11 ) the map ( 1 ) penetrates to restrain the card.

If the card were a non-predefined card without this opening, the tongue ( 4 ) not in this opening ( 11 ) and the lock would not work.

If the button (s) ( 63 ) with the opening (s) ( 11 ) the map ( 1 ) and the button ( 63 ) not in the opening ( 11 ) can enter, because it does not exist or is not at the right position, the attack would ( 43 ) collide with your head ( 62 ) and the tongue could not do any further shifting.

As soon as the button ( 63 ) through the opening ( 1 ), the tongue ( 4 ) are postponed to the end. The button ( 42 ) is intended, the position of the head ( 62 ) so that the card ( 1 ) by the button ( 63 ), that is, remains inside the lock until the tongue ( 4 ) returns to its original position.
