Abstract
A device for retaining a body which may be a bicycle wheel includes an automatic locking mechanism normally disposed in inoperative position but moved to operative locking position when the body is moved into place. A manual release mechanism is provided to allow the body to be removed and a coin operated mechanism is also provided to retain the locking mechanism in operative position until a key allowed of removal by actuation of the coin operated mechanism is reinserted and turned. The actuation of the coin operated mechanism blocks operation of the manual release mechanism until the key is reinserted and turned.

A device for connecting and disconnecting a body to be retained, comprising a holder presenting an entrance opening to receive said body, locking means responsive to reception of said body in said entrance opening for retaining said body in said holder, manual release means for retracting said locking means to allow the body to be removed from said holder, coin operated means for preventing retraction of said locking means by said manual release means, and further means for allowing retraction of said locking means subsequent to operation of said coin operated means.
A device for connecting and disconnecting a body to be retained, comprising a holder having an entrance opening to receive a body, normally inoperative locking means responsive to reception of a body within said entrance opening for automatic movement of said locking means for inoperative position into operative position to retain the body in the holder until said locking means is returned to inoperative position, and release means for returning said locking means from its operative to its inoperative position, said release means includes manual release means and coin operated means operating in conjunction with each other.
A device for connecting and disconnecting a body to be retained, comprising a holder having an entrance opening to receive a body and automatic locking means for operation from an inoperative position to an operative position in response to reception of a body in said entrance opening, thereby to capture and retain the body in the holder, manual release means rendered operable by movement of said automatic locking means to its operative position for returning said automatic locking means to its inoperative position and thereby releasing the body for removal from the holder, and coin operated means rendered operable by movement of said automatic locking means to its operative position for retaining said automatic locking means in its operative position and for blocking operation of said manual release means.
