Device for clearing and/or activating an object
First Claim
1. Device for clearing and/or activating an object with a codable key, comprising:
- an input device for inputting a code;
a coding device for coding the key with the input code;
a reader for reading a code found on the key;
an evaluation unit for evaluating the code;
a clearing device, when a code is accepted by the evaluation unit, the clearing device clearing and/or activating the object, depending on the code, the code containing use-specific data including customer identification data, object identification data, time period for use data, and operational data, for controlling the clearing device and/or the object; and
at least the input device, the coding device, the reader, and the clearing device being arranged and configured on the object, and the key being coded by the coding device via the input device before beginning of use of the object.

Abstract
The invention concerns a device for clearing and/or activating an object, in particular a machine, with a codable key, an input device for inputting a code, a coding device for coding the key with the entered code, a reader for reading a code found on the key, an evaluation unit for evaluating this code, and a clearing device, which, when a code has been accepted by the evaluation unit, clears for use and/or activates the object depending upon the code, the code containing use-specific data such as customer identification, object identification, time period for use, and operational data for controlling the clearing device and/or the object. At least the input device, the coding device, the reader, and the clearing device are arranged on the object, and the key is coded by means of the coding device via the input device before the beginning of a single or repeated use of the object.
