  • Patent number: 12084906
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the operation of an access system in line with requirements. If a normal operating mode is sensed, the following is carried out: measuring preconfigurable sensor data in order to determine a requirement parameter set of the access system, at least one dynamized setpoint value for controlling the access system being calculated from the determined requirement parameter set, and controlling the pivot arm element by means of the dynamized setpoint value such that operation of the access system in line with requirements is continuously ensured. If a special operating mode is sensed, the following is carried out: reading in a special operation configuration parameter set and controlling the pivot arm element by means of the special operation configuration parameter set which has been read in.

  • Patent number: 5836596
    Abstract: The invention relates to a shopping cart (1) with a chassis (2), a device (4) to push it, and a basket-like container (5) to accommodate goods carried by the chassis (2), the chassis (2) and the basket-like container (5) being designed in such a way that shopping carts (1) of the same kind can be pushed into one another in order to save space and the container (5) being composed of a carrying section (7) which is attached to the chassis (2) and which has a bottom (9), two side walls (8), and a back wall (21) and of an end piece (23) which is connected to and carried by the carrying section (7) and which is located facing the back wall (21). The essence of the invention consists of the end piece (23) being designed as a structural element made of plastic composed of one or more pieces and rigidly connected to the carrying section (7).

  • Patent number: 5121823
    Abstract: A coin slide (11) bearing a coin is movable into a casing (2) of a coin lock (1) to release a locking member (14) and allow full insertion of the coin slide (11). In this position a space (recess 20) in the coin slide (11) is aligned with a space (aperture 21) in a coupling member (8) and with a space (aperture (19) in a casing position separating the coin slide (11) and the coupling member (8). A locking member (e.g. ball 18) in the apertures (19 and 21) may now be moved upwardly, on pulling of the coupling member (8), to occupy the recess (20) and the aperture (19) so as to allow complete withdrawal of the coupling member (8), e.g. to free a shopping trolley. The coin is released by reversing the procedure on re-insertion of the coupling member (8).
