Definitions
- the present invention is for a shopping basket automatic machine for receiving, storing and handing out of shopping baskets for commodity retail stores and the like.
- the object of the present invention is an automatic machine for receiving, storing and handing out of shopping baskets.
- the machine In the machine there is a control of the baskets which are received as the kind and condition of the basket.
- the machine is also intended to make it possible to take a deposit for the use of a basket, where this deposit is returned when the basket is returned.
- Figure 1 shows a machine in a side view.
- Figure 2 shows the machine of figure 1 in a side view at right angle to figure 1.
- Figure 3 shows the device of figures 1 and 2 from the top.
- the machine shown in figure 1 comprises a container 15 being a rectangular box having its largest dimension in vertical direction. The height of the box is adapted to the intended use and he is shown in the figures without its top. In figure 1 there is also shown a basket 1 in the position where it is by receiving or handing out and a basket 2 which is the lowermost basket of a stack of baskets in the machine.
- the baskets are of conventional design having a bottom 3, side walls 4 and 5 and an upper, surrounding brim 6.
- the dimensions of the brim 6 are close to those of the inside of the box or container 15.
- an identification or control of the basket This may comprise a verification of that the basket is a part of the system which is operated by the machine which can be done by checking certain characteristic outer shapes or by that the basket has been marked with a bar code or in another way.
- the basket does not have serious damages, that a moveable handle is probably folded down and other particulars.
- the basket is gripped, preferably at the surrounding brim 6, by means of grippers which are arranged on bands, chains or the like 9, 10 running over pulleys 7, 8, 11, 12. These may be mounted in pairs onto shaft and powered by for example electrical motors, which start up automatically after that the basket has been controlled and accepted.
- the accepted basket is brought upwards to the position, which in the figure is marked by the basket 2, where it is gripped by toothed wheels 13, 14.
- the basket is supported under the brim 6 by the teeth of the wheels 13, 14 and these are stepped forward a step corresponding to the length of one tooth for each basket that is added to the store.
- receiving and handing out of baskets takes place from the top of the storage space. Also in this case there is identification and/or control of an added basket before it is transferred to the basket storage.
- the device comprises a deposit system being a coin slot or other suitable arrangement, such as readers for magnetic cards of different kinds.
- a deposit system being a coin slot or other suitable arrangement, such as readers for magnetic cards of different kinds.
- the handing out of a basket is then started by making a deposition and when the basket is returned it is paid back after that the returned basket has been accepted by the machine.
- the basket machine may also be activated e.g. by a push-button. Such an embodiment may be used when deposit is not used or combined with deposit.
