I.

Ί- The innovation concerns a ballot box made up of several

Containers.

'' 3 In the case of open elections with a large number

I 5 of the electorate, z. B. at shareholders' meetings,

it is common to collect voting cards with a ballot box with several bins between the voters to pass it on or to carry it over to the voters, whereby each voter has his or her voting rights card is in the container intended for his decision. With this method and with the help of such Ballot boxes will reliably count the votes

f men much easier with an open election.

; 15 So far, containers have been used for this, which are made from

^! ! different, generally opaque, materials

I exist and have a lockable lid. At

On one side there is a slot for inserting the voice

20 two opposing holes, which in one

I enable visual determination of whether the container is empty.

25 The innovation is based on the task of a ballot box to create with multiple containers that is lightweight and; easily passed on or carried on

5, from which no voting cards fall out or

can be removed without authorization and also found from a greater distance and in any direction of view whether the containers are empty or contain at least one voting card.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by a ν ■ 35 ballot box with multiple containers made of clear or

Nut screwed, with three containers two nuts are cheaper. The nuts can, for example, wing nuts or be quick release nuts.

The ballot box according to the invention has the following advantages:

a) From every viewing direction it is clear and easy to see whether a container is empty or not.

b) Prevent the sealed screw connection of the bracket and the pins inserted into the container lid the unauthorized removal of voting cards.

c) The inventively composed of plastic containers ■ jc set ballot boxes are relatively light, even if several containers are put together to form a ballot box.

d) After removing the seal, the ballot box is with dismantle several containers by loosening the screw connection. Each container can including his on top of the cover to be carried to the counting station for the voting cards.

e) The containers can easily be screwed together again to form a ballot box and thus for others Ballots can be used.

The attached figure shows an example of a ballot box with two containers and two handles. The containers (1) in this case are round cylinders made of transparent plastic, which are closed at the lower end by a plastic base and into which a lid (2) can be inserted; in this case the lid is turned off on the top. In the vicinity of the upper edge, each round cylinder has two holes (3), 5 each cover has bores (k) at the points that match these holes. There is a narrow one in each lid

Slot (5) available. On the underside of the lid, a leaf spring (6) is attached next to the slot, which the Covering the slot roughly in the middle.

The two-part holder for the container consists of parts (?) And (8). These are curved in a semicircle Metal strips with a handle (9) attached in the middle. A holder part (7) carries in in the middle a screw (10) which is provided at its free end with the bore (11). The other bracket part (8) has practically the same shape as part (7) j, however the hole (12) is located instead of the screw.

The holding bar parts (7) and (8) are provided with a total of four pins (13), the diameter, length and position of which match the holes (3) and (k). The wing nut (i4) fits the thread of the screw (10).

To assemble the ballot box, the lids are placed on the cylinders with the holes (3) in front of the holes (k) . The pins on the holder part (7) are inserted into the rear holes, the pins on the holder part (8) into the front holes; the screw (1O) pushes through the hole (12). The wing nut (i4) is screwed onto the end of the screw (10) protruding from the mounting part (8), whereby all parts are firmly connected to one another. When the wing nut is tightened, the hole (11) for the sealing wire is free.

The ballot box is dismantled in reverse order.

Claims (1)
