Abstract A rental locker system including a lock control mechanism freely removable from its installed position thereon and comprising an electrical control means supported by a support means in the lock control mechanism, a required number of electrical contact means provided on a contact board secured stationarily on a structural part of the rental locker, and a corresponding number of electrical contacting means provided on a contact board secured to the lock control mechanism thereby to be connected with the electrical control means included therein, each of the electrical contacting means on one of the two contact boards being made reciprocative and urged toward a corresponding contact means on the other contact board, whereby a good electrical connection is always assured between the electrical control means and electrical members in the rental locker through the electrical contacting means when the lock control mechanism is inserted into its position.
A rental locker system including a lock control mechanism which is removably mounted in a chamber of the locking compartment, said system comprising an electrical control means supported by a support means mounted in the lock control mechanism, a required number of electrical contact means provided on a contact board secured stationarily to a structural part of the rental locker, and a corresponding number of electrical contacting means provided on a contact board secured to the lock control mechanism and connected with said electrical control means included therein, each of said electrical contacting means on one of the two contact boards being made reciprocative and urged against a corresponding electrical contact means on the other contact board, whereby a good electrical connection is always assured between said electrical control means and the structural side of the rental locker through said electrical contacting means when the lock control mechanism is inserted into its installed position.
