Definitions

  • the invention relates. to a cassette in particular for temporary storing against theft of articles of monetary value such as banknotes and currency-notes, cheques and the like comprising a rectangular casing having a lockable cover and a slot for disposing said articles into the casing.
  • Such a cassette is known in general.
  • Said systems comprise a pneumatic dispatch system between the cash-desks and a protected central cash-desk, the so-called skimming, and the use of cassettes of the type indicated above.
  • Said pneumatic dispatch system is expensive in installation, committed to fixed locations for the cash-desks and so is hardly flexible. Moreover, the wait for the buyers, who want to settle is long and the dedication of the personnel is inefficient.
  • skimming takes place by counting the surplus of articles of monetary value at the cash-desk and to hand it over to the acting manager. Because the cash-desk is closed during said skimming this affects adversely a fluent passing of the buyers, whereas undesired transfer occurs during the hours of opening.
  • a cassette of above mentioned type is provided in which the surplus of articles of monetary value may be stored till the end of the hours of opening. After work-time the cassette is delivered by the cashier to the central cash-desk (or to an other protected location), is opened there and the contents is counted. No transfer takes place during the hours of opening and the public is not hindered.
  • the disadvantage of said known cassette is that no secure locking for it is present at the cash-desk and that the cassette becomes choked up if bank-notes and the like that are not smooth are inserted. Further articles cannot be inserted anymore. In that case said cassette has to be replaced during the hours of opening and that increases the risk of theft.
  • the bank-notes have to be flattened out first which is inconvenient and after inserting the note this has to be transported in the cassette by means of a brace that has to be operated from the outside.
  • the known cassette is not suitable for receiving coins, does not prevent the unauthorized taking out of notes and is difficult to remove from the surrounding casing.
  • the invention has the object to obviate the above- mentioned disadvantages.
  • the casing comprises means for detachable positioning it on a support, means for releasable locking the casing on said support and means for the reciprocal pivoting of a pressing plate about the axis of a shaft supported on the housing and connected to the pressing plate.
  • the embodiment is such that the means for detachable positioning comprise two parallel guides provided on the support, with each of which an edge on the casing may engage.
  • Such a construction is known per se for slidingly mounting a drawer for example on the underside of a table-top.
  • the releasable locking comprises a lockable pin, provided on the support and engaging the casing in the locked condition.
  • a simple and reliable locking is obtained in that the pin may engage an aperture in the casing.
  • said aperture is elongated and extends parallel to said guides. So, the cassette in the locked condition may be pushed backwards along the guides in which condition it remains entirely within the circumference of the support and may be pulled frontwards, in which position said slot is free for inserting said articles into the cassette.
  • the shaft supported in the casing extends beyond the casing at at least one side and is provided with a wing fixed at the end of the shaft protruding from the casing.
  • the wing By rotating the wing manually the compressing of the material present in the casing may be carried out in a simple way.
  • the implementation is such that the pressing plate is in conformity with the form of the cross-section of the casing in which the sides of the plate are shorter than the correspnding sides of said cross-section. Jamming of the plate is prevented by said feature.
  • a simple embodiment is obtained in that the pressing plate respectively said shaft is provided with a reset spring.
  • At least two opposing edges are flanged in which flanged edges said shaft is rotatably supported.
  • the shaft, the reset spring and the pressing plate may be housed within the flanged edges of the cover.
  • the cassette comprises a casing 1 of rectangular shape having two side walls 2 and 3, a top wall 4, a bottom wall 5 and a rear wall 6.
  • the front side of the casing may be closed by a cover 7 connected pivotably near its upper edge 8 to the side walls 2 and 3 through a pivot pin 9.
  • the top wall 4 is shorter by which a slot 10 is formed in the top side of the cassette.
  • Said slot 10 serves as access to the interior of the cassette and is provided with strips 11 and 12 extending to the interior of the casing, of which strips the strip 11 extends slantingly downwards from the rear slot edge 13 to the front side of the casing under an angle of 40° and the strip 12 extending slantingly downwards from the front slot edge 14 to the rear side of the casing under an angle of 30°.
  • the width of the strip 11 is larger than that of the strip 12 so that between the strips a space 14a remains for passing the articles to be stored.
  • the interior of the casing is not accessable manually nor by means of hooks or the like, so that the articles cannot be taken out of the casing along this way. Also thereby, it is practically impossible to take out articles of the casing by reversing it.
  • the top wall 4 extends beyond the walls 2 and 3 and forms edges 15 and 16 which, as appears from fig. 3, may hook behind and slide along guides 17, for example provided on the underside of a table-top 18.
  • the width of the edge 16 is larger than that of the edge 15 so that in the edge 16 outside of the casing a guide slot 19 may be provided in which a pin 20 may be engaged.
  • the pin 20 represents the locking part of the locking means 21 to be opened and closed by a key (as indicated in fig. 3 the locking means 21 is closed and the pin 20 extends into the slot 19).
  • a corresponding aperture 22 is provided for passing the locking means 21 in the guiding 17 .
  • the cover 7 is flanged along its longitudinal edges resulting in two strips 23 in each of which the free end of the cover 7 an aperture 24 is provided for supporting a shaft 25.
  • a spiral spring 26 is provided of which one end 27 abuts the inner side of the cover 7 and the other end (not visible) is fixed with the bolt 28 on the pressing plate 29.
  • a vane 30 is fixedly connected at the outer side of the edge 23. Between the edges 23 a pressing plate 29 is fixedly connected to the shaft 25.
  • a usual cover locking device is indicated.
  • the apparatus according to the invention is used as follows:
  • a hand grip 33 For transporting the cassette it is provided with a hand grip 33 at a suitable place.
  • the cassette may also be locked on other surfaces than the underside of for example a table-top.
  • examples are the upper side of a table-top or the like in which the strips 15 and 16 are provided on the bottom wall 5 of the cassette, a vertical surface, in which said strips 15 and 16 are provided on a corresponding side wall of the casing.
  • the guides 17 are mounted on said upper side respectively on said side wall.
