Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Safe-Anlage mit einer Vielzahl von einzeln zugänglichen Safes sowie ein Verfahren zu deren Betrieb.The invention relates to a safe system with a plurality of individually accessible safes and a method for their operation.

Die bekannten Safeanlagen weisen den Nachteil auf, dass sie für eine Benützung von im Freien sich befindenden Personen, wie z.B. bei den Geldausgabeautomaten, nicht geeignet sind.The known safe systems have the disadvantage that they can be used by people who are outdoors, e.g. ATMs are not suitable.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist die Schaffung einer Safe-Anlage die diesen Nachteil nicht aufweist, das heisst welche sehr geeignet zur Benützung von im Freien sich befindenden Personen ist.The object of the present invention is to create a safe system which does not have this disadvantage, that is to say which is very suitable for use by persons who are outdoors.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Safe-Anlage der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelöst, dass die letzteren in mindestens einem zylindrischen Aufnahmeteil angeordnet sind, wobei die Safe-Zugangsöffnungen sich voneinander distanziert in der zylindrischen Mantelfläche des Aufnahmeteils befinden, und dass der Aufnahmeteil um seine Rotationsachse und längs dieser bewegbar ist, derart, dass die einzelnen Safe-Zugangsöffnungen durch Drehen des Aufnahmeteils um seine Rotationsachse und/oder durch Verschiebung des Aufnahmeteils längs der letzteren einzeln mit einer stillstehenden, in einem den Aufnahmeteil umschliessenden Gehäuse vorgesehenen Durchtrittsöffnung in Deckung bringbar sind, ohne dass die übrigen Safe-Zugangsöffnungen zugänglich sind.This object is achieved according to the invention in a safe system of the type mentioned at the outset in that the latter are arranged in at least one cylindrical receiving part, the safe access openings being spaced apart from one another in the cylindrical lateral surface of the receiving part, and in that the receiving part about its axis of rotation and can be moved along such a way that the individual safe access openings individually surround the receiving part by rotating the receiving part about its axis of rotation and / or by moving the receiving part along the latter with a stationary one Send housing provided passage can be brought into cover without the other safe access openings are accessible.

Dabei ist es zweckmässig, wenn die im Gehäuse vorgesehene Durchtrittsöffnung mittels einer vorzugsweise gepanzerten Schiebetür verschliessbar ist. Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn die Schiebetür mit einem Antrieb versehen und der letztere mit einer Steuerung verbunden ist, wobei die Steuerung so ausgebildet ist, dass die Schiebetür die Durchtrittsöffnung nur bei Eingabe eines bestimmten Befehls für kurze Zeit freigibt.It is expedient if the passage opening provided in the housing can be closed by means of a preferably armored sliding door. It is advantageous if the sliding door is provided with a drive and the latter is connected to a controller, the controller being designed such that the sliding door only opens the passage opening for a short time when a specific command is entered.

Um Missbräuche möglichst zu vermeiden, ist es zweckmässig, wenn die einzelnen Safes mit optischen Abtastmitteln zur Ueberprüfung ihrer Belegung oder Nicht-Belegung versehen sind.In order to avoid misuse as far as possible, it is expedient if the individual safes are provided with optical scanning means for checking their occupancy or non-occupancy.

Es ist ausserdem vorteilhaft, wenn der achsiale und der radiale Antrieb des Aufnahmeteils mit derart ausgebildeten Positioniermitteln verbunden sind, dass jedes einzelne Safe bei Eingabe eines diesem zugeordneten Positionierbefehls auf die im Gehäuse vorgesehene Durchtrittsöffnung ausgerichtet wird.It is also advantageous if the axial and the radial drive of the receiving part are connected with positioning means designed in such a way that each individual safe is aligned with the passage opening provided in the housing when a positioning command assigned to it is entered.

Es ist auch möglich, dass mindestens zwei parallel zueinander angeordnete, eine zylindrische Aussenform aufweisende, um ihre Längsachse drehbare Aufnahmeteile vorgesehen sind, welche ihrerseits zusätzlich gemeinsam um eine gemeinsame Drehachse drehbar gelagert sind.It is also possible to provide at least two receiving parts which are arranged parallel to one another and have a cylindrical outer shape and can be rotated about their longitudinal axis and which in turn are additionally rotatably mounted about a common axis of rotation.

Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist ausserdem ein Verfahren zum Betrieb der erfindungsgemässen Safe-Anlage, welches dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass man durch Einwerfen mindestens einer Münze und/oder durch Einführung eines mit einem Code versehenen Teiles, wie z.B. einer Magnetkarte, und/oder durch Eingabe eines Codes die Zugangsöffnung eines unbesetzten Safes in Deckung mit der im Gehäuse vorgesehenen Durchtrittsöffnung bringt, und nach Belegung dieses Safes einen magnetisch, mechanisch oder optisch lesbaren, diesem Safe zugeordneten Beleg empfängt, welcher zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt zur Eingabe in eine Prüf- und Safe-Anwählstation dient, um den diesem Beleg zugeordneten belegten Safe wieder in Deckung mit der im Gehäuse vorgesehenen Durchtrittsöffnung zu bringen.The present invention also relates to a method for operating the safe system according to the invention, which is characterized in that by inserting at least one coin and / or by inserting a coin a part provided with a code, such as a magnetic card, and / or by entering a code, the access opening of an unoccupied safe is aligned with the passage opening provided in the housing, and after occupying this safe receives a magnetically, mechanically or optically readable document assigned to this safe , which is used at a later point in time for input into a test and safe selection station in order to bring the occupied safe assigned to this document back into register with the passage opening provided in the housing.

Dabei ist es zweckmässig, wenn der in die Prüf- und Safe-Anwählstation eingegebene Beleg nur in Kombination mit einem vom Benützer einzugebenden Code wirksam ist.It is useful if the document entered in the test and safe dialing station is only effective in combination with a code to be entered by the user.

Nachstehend wird die Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung beispielsweise erläutert. Es zeigt:

  • Fig.2 einen Schnitt längs der Linie II-II in Fig. 1;
  • Fig.3 einen Schnitt längs der Linie III-III in Fig. 4 durch eine zweite beispielsweise Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemässen Safe-Anlage; und
  • Fig.4 einen Schnitt längs der Linie IV-IV in Fig. 4.
The invention is explained below with reference to the drawing, for example. It shows:
  • 1 shows a section along the line II in FIG. 2 through a first exemplary embodiment of a safe system according to the invention;
  • 2 shows a section along the line II-II in Fig. 1;
  • 3 shows a section along the line III-III in FIG. 4 through a second exemplary embodiment of a safe system according to the invention; and
  • 4 shows a section along the line IV-IV in Fig. 4th

Wie aus den Figuren 1 und 2 ersichtlich, ist eine Vielzahl von einzeln zugänglichen Safes 1 in einem zylindrischen Aufnahmeteil 2 angeordnet.As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, a multiplicity of individually accessible safes 1 are arranged in a cylindrical receiving part 2.

Die Safe-Zutrittsöffnungen 3 befinden sich voneinander distanziert in der zylindrischen Mantelfläche 4 des Aufnahmeteils 2. Der letztere ist längs einer vertikal verlaufenden Führung 5 in vertikaler Richtung verschiebbar und um diese herum drehbar.The safe access openings 3 are spaced apart from one another in the cylindrical outer surface 4 of the receptacle partly 2. The latter can be displaced in the vertical direction along a vertically running guide 5 and rotated around it.

Auf diese Weise sind die einzelnen Safe-Zutrittsöffnungen 3 durch Drehen des Aufnahmeteils 2 um seine Rotationsachse 6 und/oder durch Verschiebung des Aufnahmeteils 2 längs der letzteren einzeln mit einer stillstehenden, in einem den Aufnahmeteil 2 umschliessenden Gehäuse 7 vorgesehenen Durchtrittsöffnung 8 in Deckung bringbar, ohne dass die übrigen Safe-Zugangsöffnungen 3 zugänglich werden. Die im Gehäuse 7 vorgesehene Durchtrittsöffnung 8 ist im Normalfall mittels einer gepanzerten Schiebetür 9 verschlossen.In this way, the individual safe access openings 3 can be brought into alignment by rotating the receiving part 2 about its axis of rotation 6 and / or by moving the receiving part 2 along the latter individually with a stationary passage opening 8 provided in a housing 7 enclosing the receiving part 2, without the remaining safe access openings 3 being accessible. The passage opening 8 provided in the housing 7 is normally closed by means of an armored sliding door 9.

Die Schiebetür 9 ist mit einem Antrieb versehen und der letztere mit einer von der Position des Aufnahmeteils 2 beeinflussten Steuerung verbunden.The sliding door 9 is provided with a drive and the latter is connected to a control influenced by the position of the receiving part 2.

Dabei ist die Steuerung derart ausgebildet, dass die Schiebetür 9 die Durchtrittsöffnung 8 nur dann für kurze Zeit freigibt, wenn die Zutrittsöffnung 3 des vom Benützer angewählten, zu belegenden bzw. zu leerenden Safes 1 sich in Deckung mit der Durchtrittsöffnung 8 befindet. Um zu vermeiden, dass die Schiebetür 9 die Hand eines Benützers einklemmen könnte, wird die Durchtrittsöffnung 8 mittels einer Lichtschranke überwacht wie dies z.B. auch bei Lifttüren der Fall ist. Die Steuerung des Antriebs des Aufnahmeteils 2 ist derart, dass der letztere nur bei vollständig geschlossener Schiebetür 9 in seiner Position verändert werden kann, um zu vermeiden, dass für unbefugte Personen belegte Safes 1, wenn auch nur sehr kurzfristig, beim Passieren der Durchtrittsöffnung 8 zugänglich wären.The control system is designed such that the sliding door 9 only opens the passage opening 8 for a short time when the access opening 3 of the safe 1 selected by the user, to be occupied or emptied, is in register with the passage opening 8. In order to avoid that the sliding door 9 could pinch a user's hand, the passage opening 8 is monitored by means of a light barrier, as is the case e.g. is also the case with lift doors. The control of the drive of the receiving part 2 is such that the position of the latter can only be changed when the sliding door 9 is completely closed, in order to avoid that safes 1 occupied by unauthorized persons, even if only for a very short time, are accessible when passing through the passage opening 8 would be.

Selbstverständlich wäre es auch möglich, anstatt die Durchtrittsöffnung 8 die einzelnen Safe-Zutrittsöffnungen 3 mit je einem Abschliessteil, z. B. einer Schiebetür, zu versehen.Of course it would also be possible instead of through opening 8, the individual safe access openings 3, each with a closing part, for. B. a sliding door.

Der achsiale und der radiale Antrieb des Aufnahmeteils 2 wird derart gesteuert, dass jedes einzelne Safe 1 bei Eingabe eines diesem zugeordneten Positionierbefehls genau auf die im Gehäuse 7 vorgesehene Durchtrittsöffnung 8 ausgerichtet wird.The axial and the radial drive of the receiving part 2 are controlled in such a way that each individual safe 1 is precisely aligned with the passage opening 8 provided in the housing 7 when a positioning command assigned to it is entered.

Wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich, ist es unter optimaler Ausnutzung des Querschnitts des Aufnahmeteils 2 auf einfache Weise möglich, verschieden lange, beziehungsweise verschieden grosse Safes 1 im gleichen Aufnahmeteil 2 vorzusehen.As can be seen from FIG. 2, it is possible, with optimal use of the cross section of the receiving part 2, to provide safes 1 of different lengths or different sizes in the same receiving part 2.

Die Benützung der dargestellten Safe-Anlage geht so vor sich, dass man durch Einwerfen einer oder mehrerer Münzen sowie durch Eingabe eines Codes bewirkt, dass bei geschlossener Schiebetüre 9 die Zugangsöffnung 3 eines unbesetzten Safes 1 automatisch in Deckung mit der im Gehäuse 7 vorgesehenen Durchtrittsöffnung 8 gebracht wird, worauf sich die Schiebetür 9 öffnet und dadurch den Zugang zum angewählten, gemäss einem Speicher unbelegten Safe, freigibt.The safe system shown is used in such a way that by inserting one or more coins and by entering a code, when the sliding door 9 is closed, the access opening 3 of an unoccupied safe 1 automatically coincides with the passage opening 8 provided in the housing 7 is brought, whereupon the sliding door 9 opens and thereby gives access to the selected safe which is not occupied according to a memory.

Wird der derart freigegebene leere Safe 1 nicht innerhalb einer vorbestimmten Zeitspanne von beispielsweise lO Sekunden beschickt, dann verschliesst die Schiebetür 8 die Zugangsöffnung 3 wieder und das vorangehend eingegebene Geld wird wieder retourniert.If the empty safe 1 released in this way is not loaded within a predetermined period of time, for example 10 seconds, then the sliding door 8 closes the access opening 3 again and the previously entered money is returned again.

Wird das freigegebene leere Safe 1 hingegen beschickt oder belegt, dann wird die Zugangsöffnung 3 nach einer vorbestimmten Zeitdauer durch die Schiebetür 8 verschlossen, und zum Beispiel ein magnetisch lesbarer Beleg in Form einer Magnetkarte abgegeben. Diese codierte Magnetkarte dient dann zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt zur Eingabe in eine von der Vorderseite der Anlage her bedienbare, innerhalb dem Gehäuse 7 angeordnete Prüf- und Safe-Anwählstation, um nach Eintippen des beim früheren Münzeinwurf eingetippten und auf der danach ausgegebenen Magnetkarte unsichtbar gespeicherten Codes auf einem an der Stirnseite des Gehäuses 7 angeordneten Bedienungsfeldes und nach Zahlung des in letzterem angezeigten Mietbetrags den diesem Beleg zugeordneten belegten Safe 1 wieder in Deckung mit der im Gehäuse 7 vorgesehenen Durchtrittsöffnung 8 zu bringen und die Zugangsöffnung 3 freizugeben.If, on the other hand, the released empty safe 1 is loaded or occupied, the access opening 3 is closed by the sliding door 8 after a predetermined period of time, and for example a magnetically readable document in the form of a Magnet card issued. This encoded magnetic card is then used at a later time for input into a test and safe selection station which can be operated from the front of the system and is arranged within the housing 7, in order to invisibly store the code typed in when the coin was inserted earlier and then stored on the magnetic card which is then issued on a control panel arranged on the front side of the housing 7 and after payment of the rental amount shown in the latter, to bring the occupied safe 1 assigned to this document back into alignment with the passage opening 8 provided in the housing 7 and to open the access opening 3.

Da dieser unsichtbar auf der Magnetkarte zusätzlich zur Safenummer gespeicherte Sicherheitscode nur derjenigen Person bekannt ist, die vor der Abgabe dieser Magnetkarte diesen Code eintippte und dadurch zusätzlich zur Safenummer auf der Magnetkarte abspeicherte, ist ein Missbrauch einer solchen Magnetkarte bei Verlieren derselben ausgeschlossen.Since this security code, which is invisibly stored on the magnetic card in addition to the safe number, is only known to the person who typed this code in before handing in this magnetic card and thereby storing it in addition to the safe number on the magnetic card, misuse of such a magnetic card is impossible if the card is lost.

Bei der in den Figuren 3 und 4 dargestellten zweiten beispielsweisen Ausführungsform sind zu der in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellten ersten Ausführungsform analoge Teile mit den gleichen Ueberweisungszeichen versehen, so dass sich eine nochmalige Beschreibung dieser Teile erübrigt.In the second exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, parts that are analogous to the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are provided with the same reference symbols, so that a repeated description of these parts is unnecessary.

Wie aus diesen Figuren 3 und 4 ersichtlich, weist diese zweite Ausführungsform drei parallel zueinander angeordnete, eine zylindrische Aussenform aufweisende Aufnahmeteile 2, 2',2" auf, welche ihrerseits zusätzlich gemeinsam um eine gemeinsame Drehachse lO drehbar im Gehäuse 7 gelagert sind.As can be seen from these FIGS. 3 and 4, this second embodiment has three receiving parts 2, 2 ′, 2 ″ arranged parallel to one another and having a cylindrical outer shape, which in turn are additionally rotatably mounted in the housing 7 about a common axis of rotation 10.

Die drei Aufnahmeteile 2, 2' und 2" sind mittels einem oberen und einem unteren Verbindungsteil 11 respektive 12 miteinander verbunden, und als eine Einheit um die Drehachse 10 drehbar beziehungsweise längs dieser verschiebbar.The three receiving parts 2, 2 'and 2 "are by means of an upper and a lower connecting part 11 and 12 respectively connected to one another and rotatable as a unit about the axis of rotation 10 or displaceable along the latter.

Eine andere Möglichkeit wäre zum Beispiel, die Führungen 5, 5' und 5" in vertikaler Richtung dem in vertikaler Richtung erforderlichen Verschiebeweg der Aufnahmeteile 2, 2' und 2" entsprechend zu bemessen und die letzteren längs der Führungen 5, 5' respektive 5" und nicht längs der Führung 10 zu verschieben.Another possibility would be, for example, to dimension the guides 5, 5 'and 5 "in the vertical direction in accordance with the displacement path of the receiving parts 2, 2' and 2" required in the vertical direction and the latter along the guides 5, 5 'and 5 ", respectively. and not to move along the guide 10.

Um zu vermeiden, dass der Inhalt der einzelnen Safes 1 unerwünscht aus diesen herausfallen kann, ist es möglich, die Safe-Zugangsöffnungen 3 durch je zwei im Aufnahmeteil 2 angeordnete, automatisch gesteuerte Schiebetürchen zu verschliessen, wenn die Safe-Zugangsöffnung 3 ausser Deckung mit der Durchtrittsöffnung 8 bewegt wird.In order to avoid that the contents of the individual safes 1 can fall out of them undesirably, it is possible to close the safe access openings 3 by two automatically controlled sliding doors arranged in the receiving part 2 if the safe access opening 3 is out of coverage with the Passage opening 8 is moved.
