Definitions

  • the invention relates to an insert for a cash drawer for receiving cash, notes and the like, in the form of a trough-like, open-topped receptacle, which is divided into several compartments by vertical longitudinal and transverse walls and contains a hold-down device for holding down notes in at least one compartment .
  • Such a drawer insert is usually made of plastic and can be taken as a whole from the cash drawer e.g. be removed from a cash register, for example to keep the cash holdings elsewhere at the end of a business day.
  • the drawer insert due to its subdivision into several compartments, offers the possibility of arranging coins or banknotes or other notes of value according to different values or sizes, as is known for cash registers or for similar inserts in cash cassettes.
  • the hold-down device is used to hold down banknotes, in particular, since, as a result of their use, they usually do not lie smoothly one above the other and would take up too much space without the hold-down.
  • the longitudinal walls which are parallel to the sliding direction of the cash drawer are designed as longitudinal partial walls which can be inserted between the transverse walls into the receptacle from above and are provided with latching and anchoring elements, and in that a guide rail is provided on a transverse wall movable posture of the respective hold-down device is arranged.
  • the insert is advantageously further developed such that in the bottom of the receptacle, a plurality of rows of latching openings running in the transverse direction are provided in a grid-like manner between the transverse walls for receiving latching elements provided on the lower edges of the longitudinal partial walls.
  • the grid-like distribution of the latching openings also makes it possible to construct compartments between the individual transverse walls of the receptacle, which do not necessarily have to be aligned in the longitudinal direction, but can also be offset from one another.
  • the respective longitudinal partial wall can have an anchoring projection at at least one end of its upper edge, the transverse walls then being provided with cutouts on their upper edges for receiving these anchoring projections.
  • This development is characterized by particular simplicity, because it is not necessary to provide vertical grooves in the transverse walls into which the longitudinal part walls are to be inserted exactly from above, but it is sufficient to use the respective longitudinal part wall in the receptacle so that its locking elements are included lock the locking openings. In this case, by slightly tilting the inserted longitudinal partial wall, the associated recess can easily be found, into which the upper anchoring projection is then inserted.
  • the longitudinal part walls can also be provided with an anchoring projection on their front or rear edge.
  • the transverse walls of the receptacle can also be constructed at least partially in the same way as the longitudinal walls, that is to say they can have insertable transverse part walls which are provided with latching and anchoring elements and which have latching openings in the bottom of the receptacle in a grid-like manner in at least one row Longitudinal direction of the receptacle are assigned. In this way, variable compartment sizes can also be realized in the longitudinal direction of the drawer insert.
  • the respective hold-down device advantageously has a hold-down arm which can be pivoted on a holder guided on the guide rail and which is pulled into an upper removal position by means of a tension spring connected to the holder in the hold-down position and when swiveling upwards after overcoming an unstable position.
  • This design of the hold-down device considerably simplifies the insertion and removal of notes of value, because the hold-down arm is springily drawn into its hold-down position, but snaps into its upper removal position when it swings upward after overcoming the unstable position. In this way, one-handed operation of a cash drawer is also possible when removing or inserting paper money.
  • the guide rail for slidably holding the respective hold-down device can run on its transverse wall over the entire width of the drawer insert.
  • the number of hold-down devices can be varied if the guide rail has a section which enables hold-down devices to be attached. For example, if it has a specific profile on which the hold-down devices are to be anchored, a section, expediently at the end of the guide rail, can be designed such that the respective hold-down device is attached to the guide rail and then pushed onto the complete profile of the guide rail can be.
  • the guide rail can also be arranged at a distance from the side wall of the receptacle, so that it does not then extend over the entire width of the receptacle. In this case, the hold-down devices are then simply pushed onto the free end of the guide rail within the receptacle and brought to the location provided for them.
  • the guide rail does not necessarily have to have a predetermined holding profile.
  • it can also be designed as a round rod, provided that the holding-down devices e.g. to be pivoted on yourself.
  • FIG. 1 shows a drawer insert 10 which is rectangular in plan view and has vertical side walls 11 and 12, a front wall 13 and a rear wall 14. As FIG. 2 shows, the front wall 13 slopes downwards, so that this extends results in a well-known shape for drawer inserts of this type.
  • There are also fixed transverse walls 15 and 16 which, together with pluggable longitudinal walls 17 and 18, have the same design as one another and with fixed longitudinal walls 19 and 20 form several compartments 21 for accommodating coins.
  • the rear part of the drawer insert 10 is divided into several further compartments 26 by pluggable longitudinal walls 27 and is used to accommodate banknotes or checks.
  • a hold-down 28 is arranged to be described.
  • One of the compartments 26 has larger dimensions and contains two hold-down devices 28.
  • the hold-down devices 28 are each displaceable overall on a guide rail 32 in the transverse direction of the drawer insert 10, so that they can be brought into any position within a bill compartment 26 which is formed in each case.
  • the guide rail 32 is integrally formed on the rear wall 14 of the drawer insert 10, as can be seen particularly clearly in FIG. 2.
  • the transverse walls 15, 16, 22, 23 are provided with recesses 33 on their upper edges, into which corresponding upper projections 34, 35 of the longitudinal walls are inserted when they are inserted into the drawer insert 10 from above are inserted and fixed with the locking openings 29, 30, 31 provided in the bottom.
  • the front wall 13 is provided on its upper edge with recesses 36, into which tapered projections 37 of the front longitudinal walls 17 are inserted, corresponding to the oblique course of the front wall 13, when these are inserted into the drawer insert 10.
  • the rear longitudinal walls 27 are provided on their vertical rear edge with projections 38, which are indicated in FIG. 2 and are inserted into recesses 39 in the rear wall 14, since the guide rail 32 is arranged above them.
  • the individual compartments 21, 24, 25, 26 according to the distribution of the locking openings 29, 30, 31 and the recesses 33, 36, 39 can be realized in different sizes, the position of the hold-down device 28 is adjustable within the compartments 26 in the transverse direction.
  • the pluggable transverse walls 22 and 23 also have projections 40 and 41 at the ends of their upper edges, with which they are inserted into corresponding recesses 42 and 43 of the fixed longitudinal walls 19, 20 and the side wall 12 when they are inserted into the drawer insert 10 from above will.
  • projections 40 and 41 are on their lower edges, with which they lock in corresponding locking openings 45, one of which is indicated in FIG. 3.
  • Fig. 2 shows the section II-II of Fig. 1 to illustrate the contour of the drawer insert 10 and the inserted longitudinal walls 17, 18 and 27. It can be seen that the fixed transverse walls 15 and 16 on their back with additional curved Wall parts 46 are provided, through which the compartments 21 and 26 (Fig. 1) receive a curved shape similar to the shape as formed by the front wall 13 on its front.
  • the additional wall parts 46 can be thin-walled surfaces which, for example, with the fixed transverse walls 15 and 16 are glued.
  • Fig. 2 also shows how the pluggable longitudinal walls 17, 18 and 27 are provided with projections 34, 35, 37, 38 in order to stabilize their position relative to the transverse walls 15, 16 and the front wall 13 and the rear wall 14 .
  • the locking lugs on the lower edges of the longitudinal walls 17, 18 and 27 are integrally formed thereon.
  • the respective longitudinal wall has three elongated recesses 52 on its lower edge, by means of which two fingers 51 are formed, which protrude beyond the lower edge of the respective longitudinal wall and carry locking lugs 50 there, which have the respective locking opening 29, 30, 31 latch, the edges of this opening being designed to run obliquely in accordance with the shape of the detents 50.
  • the fingers 51 have spring properties, so that when the respective longitudinal wall 17, 18, 27 is removed, they can slide along the oblique edges of the latching openings 29, 30, 31 and are thereby compressed.
  • the locking lugs 50 are provided with further oblique edges which cause the fingers 51 to be compressed when the respective longitudinal wall 17, 18, 27 is inserted into the drawer insert 10 from above.
  • a hold-down device 28 is described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • this has the shape of an angled arm 55 which, in the position shown in solid lines in FIG. 2, rests with its front, downwardly angled end 56 on money or notes of value which are accommodated in the respective compartment 26.
  • the arm 55 can be pivoted upward in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 2 and then reaches the raised position shown in dash-dot lines there.
  • the position corresponds to a snap position, which is achieved automatically when the arm 55 is manually raised to such an extent that its rear part, articulated at 57 to a holder 58, reaches approximately a horizontal position.
  • a spring 59 is used, which is stretched between the holder 58 and the arm 55 and pulls the arm 55 into the position shown in FIG. 2.
  • the spring 59 pulls the arm 55 into the snap position shown in broken lines in FIG. 2. Then it is possible to remove existing banknotes or notes of value in a compartment 26 without the respective hold-down device 28 always having to be held in its upper position.
  • the holder 58 is fork-shaped, and the arm 55 is articulated to the fork parts 61 of the holder 58 with a correspondingly configured fork 60.
  • the arm 55 can be provided with pins, not shown, which are integrally formed on it and are mounted in corresponding openings in the fork parts 61 of the holder 58.
  • the holder 58 is provided with an upper and a lower edge 62, 63, which increases its stability and, according to FIG. 1, can have a cross section which increases from the rear to the front.
  • a section with a U-profile opening downward is provided, one leg of which also has a web 64 projecting to the rear.
  • the U-profile and the web 64 are designed so that the holder 58 can be placed on the guide rail 32 already described and can be moved in the longitudinal direction thereof without being tilted upwards or downwards.
  • a recess 70 is provided in the latter, which can be seen in FIG. 1 at its right end. All hold-down devices 28 with their holders 58 can be inserted into this recess and then pushed onto the guide rail 32. Then longitudinal walls 27 can then be inserted into the drawer insert 10.
  • Fig. 3 shows the section III-III of Fig. 1. It can be seen that the transverse wall 16 is provided with upper recesses 33, which have already been described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 and which serve the pluggable longitudinal walls 18th to fix at their top edges. Similar recesses 33 are also provided in the transverse wall 15, as has already been explained.
  • the pluggable transverse wall 23 has the lower locking lugs 44, which are seated in a locking opening 45. These elements are constructed in the same way as elements 29, 30, 31 and 50 to 52 already described.
  • FIG. 4 shows a longitudinal wall 27 as an individual illustration for better clarification of the detents 69 provided on its lower edge 68 with their two obliquely tapering surfaces. It can also be seen that the upper edge of the longitudinal wall 27 has a curved recess 71, which is used for more convenient handling of the hold-down device 28.
  • the longitudinal wall 27 is first inserted into the drawer insert 10 with its rear projection 38 in an opening 39 in the rear wall 14 of the drawer insert 10 and then pressed down so that the locking lugs 69 enter a locking opening 31 in the bottom of the drawer insert 10. During this snap-in movement, the projection 35 on the upper left corner of the longitudinal wall 27 is then inserted into the recess 33 of the transverse wall 16 correspondingly assigned to it.
