Abstract

A money box arrangement particularly for use in the cashier's stations of department stores, on bank counters or the like is proposed. This money box arrangement in particular will make possible a simple and secure carrying of the money between the cashier's station and a central cash office. It comprises a cash insert (10) which can be taken out of the cashbox (4) of a cash register (2), a portable strongbox (12) for receiving the cash insert (10) as well as other reserve money not located in this place, and moreover comprises a cover (14) which can serve for closing off the cash insert (10) and for closing off the portable strongbox (12). This arrangement makes it possible for the change in the cash insert (10) and the reserve money to be carried securely between the cashier's station and the central cash office. Since the reserve money is generally accounted for every night but the change can be stored without accounting for the next day, the further capability exists of closing off the cash insert (10) containing the change with the lid (10) and storing this unit, which is substantially smaller than the portable strongbox (12), in the night safe.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Geldkassettenanordnung der im Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 genannten Art.The invention relates to a cash cassette arrangement of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.

Kassenplätze von großen Warenhäusern, Bankschalter oder dergleichen sind im allgemeinen alle in der gleichen Weise organisiert. Am Beginn eines Geschäftstages empfängt der Kassierer in einer Kassenzentrale eine bestimmte Menge von losem Wechselgeld, d.h. Hartgeld sowie Geldscheinen, sowie einen weiteren Geldvorrat, welcher aus gebündelten Scheinen und/oder zu Rollen zusammengefassten Münzen besteht. Am Ende des Geschäftstages bringt der Kassierer den Kasseninhalt, welcher wiederum eine bestimmte Menge an Wechselgeld sowie an gebündeltem bzw. zu Rollen zusammengefasstem Vorratsgeld umfaßt, zur Abrechnung in die Kassenzentrale.Cash registers of large department stores, bank counters or the like are generally all organized in the same way. At the beginning of a business day, the cashier receives a certain amount of loose change, i.e. Coins and banknotes, as well as a further supply of money, which consists of bundled notes and / or coins combined into rolls. At the end of the business day, the cashier brings the contents of the cash register, which in turn comprises a certain amount of change as well as bundled or bundled reserve money, to the checkout center for settlement.

Es ist vielfach üblich, daß der Kassierer sich für den Transport des Geldes von der Kassenzentrale zum Kassenplatz und zurück einer gesonderten Kassette bedient, welche das Wechselgeld und das Vorratsgeld in einer gemeinsamen oder auch in gatrennten Kammern aufnehmen kann. Am Kassenplatz wird das Wechselgeld dann in die Kassenlade einsortiert, während das Vorratsgeld im allgemeinen in der Kassette verbleibt. Am Abend wird das in der Kassenlade befindliche Geld in die Kassette eingelegt und zur Kassenzentrale gebracht. Dieses Verfahren ist umständlich und unsicher, da das Umräumen von der Kassette in die Kassenlade und zurück einige Zeit in Anspruch nimmt und da während dieses Vorganges Geld verloren gehen kann. Außerdem ist es erforderlich, daß der Kassierer jedes Mal, wenn er seinen Kassenplatz verläßt, zumindest die das Vorratsgeld enthaltende Kassette mitnimmt oder verschließt, da diese sonst dem Zugriff Dritter ausgesetzt ist. Es ist schon eine Geldkassettenanordnung bekannt, bei der die Kassenlade selbst gleichzeitig als Kassette zum Transport des Geldes zwischen dem Kassenplatz und der Kassenzentrale dient (Prospekt der Firma ADS Anker GmbH, Nr. 40 - 020, 7.83). Bei dieser Lösung ist die Kassenlade baulich von der Registrierkasse getrennt und mit dieser nur über Steuerleitungen verbunden. Sie hat die Form einer verschließbaren Kassette, deren Deckel über einen von der Registrierkasse angesteuerten Schließ- und Öffnungsmechanismus betätigt wird. In diese Kassenlade kann ein Kasseneinsatz zur Aufnahme des Hartgeldes eingehängt werden, wobei unterhalb dieses Hartgeldeinsatzes Raum zur Aufnahme vom Banknoten verbleibt. Für den Transport zur Kassenzentrale wird die beispielsweise über einen Stecker mit der Kassenlade verbundene Steuerleitung gelöst, so daß die gesamte Kassenlade weggetragen werden kann. Nachteilig an dieser Anordnung ist, daß die Kassenlade wegen ihres Aufbaues, welcher auch den Schließ- und Öffnungsmechanismus für den Deckel umfaßt, sehr schwer ist. Ein weiterer Nachteil wird darin gesehen, daß im allgemeinen jeder Kassierer seine eigene, über einen persönlichen Schlüssel nur ihm zugängliche Transportkassette besitzt, da zumindest das Wechselgeld nicht jeden Tag abgerechnet wird, sondern über Nacht in der Transportkassette des Kassierers verbleibt. Das heißt, daß bei der bekannten Lösung jedem Kassierer seine eigene, wegen des Schließ- und Öffnungsmechanismus sowie der dazugehörigen Steuerungselemente teuere Kassenlade zugewiesen werden muß. Außerdem ist die bekannte Kassenlade groß und sperrig; da die Kassenladen wegen des in ihnen verbleibenden Wechselgeldes z. B. nachts in einem Tresor aufbewahrt werden müssen, ist vor allem bei großen Warenhäusern mit einer Vielzahl von teilweise im Schichtdienst eingesetzten Kassierern ein entsprechend großer Tresorraum erforderlich.It is common practice for the cashier to use a separate cassette for transporting the money from the cash center to the cash desk and back, which can hold the change and the reserve money in a common or in separate compartments. The change is then sorted into the cash drawer at the cash desk, while the reserve money generally remains in the cassette. In the evening, the money in the cash drawer is inserted into the cassette and brought to the cash register. This procedure is cumbersome and unsafe, since the transfer from the cassette into the cash drawer and back takes some time and because money can be lost during this process. In addition, each time the cashier leaves his cash desk, it is necessary for the cassette containing the reserve money to be taken along or locked, since this would otherwise be subject to third-party access. A cash cassette arrangement is already known in which the cash drawer itself also serves as a cassette for transporting the money between the cash desk and the cash center (brochure from ADS Anker GmbH, No. 40-020, 7.83). In this solution, the cash drawer is structurally separate from the cash register and is only connected to it via control lines. It has the form of a lockable cassette, the lid of which is actuated by a closing and opening mechanism controlled by the cash register. In this cash drawer, a cash insert for receiving the hard cash can be hung, with space for receiving the bank notes remaining below this hard cash insert. For the transport to the cash register, the control line, for example connected to the cash drawer via a plug, is released, so that the entire cash drawer can be carried away. A disadvantage of this arrangement is that the cash drawer is very heavy because of its structure, which also includes the closing and opening mechanism for the lid. Another disadvantage is seen in the fact that in general every cashier has his own transport cassette, which is only accessible to him with a personal key, since at least the change is not settled every day, but remains in the cashier's transport cassette overnight. This means that in the known solution, each cashier must be assigned his own cash drawer, which is expensive because of the closing and opening mechanism and the associated control elements. In addition, the well-known cash drawer is large and bulky; because the cash register because of the change remaining in them z. B. must be kept at night in a safe, especially in large department stores with a large number of cashiers sometimes used in shift work, a correspondingly large safe room is required.

Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Geldkassettenanordnung der gattungsgemäßen Art zu schaffen, welche einfach und billig im Aufbau und sicher in der Handhabung ist und welche gegenüber der bekannten Lösung einen kleinstmöglichen Raum für die Nachtaufbewahrung benötigt.It is the object of the invention to provide a cash cassette arrangement of the generic type which is simple and inexpensive in construction and safe to use and which, compared to the known solution, requires the smallest possible space for night storage.

Diese Aufgabe ist durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruches 1 enthaltenen Merkmale gelöst. Demnach ist die eigentliche Kassenlade in bekannter Weise ein fester Bestandteil des Kassenplatzes bzw. der Registrierkasse, so daß dieses aufwendige und teuere Bauteil jeweils nur in einer der Anzahl der Kassenplätze, nicht aber der Anzahl der Kassierer entsprechenden Zahl vorgesehen sein muß. Für den Transport des Geldes vom Kassenplatz zur Kassenzentrale entnimmt der Kassierer den Kasseneinsatz aus der Kassenlade und setzt ihn in den ihm zugehörigen Transporttresor, welcher auch das Vorratsgeld enthält, ein, setzt den Deckel auf und schließt diesen mit seinem persönlichen Schlüssel ab. In der Kassenzentrale entnimmt er den Kasseneinsatz mit dem nicht abzurechnenden Wechselgeld, verschließt ihn mit seinem Deckel und deponiert diesen kleinen, kompakten Behälter im Nachttresor; das zu Bündeln bzw. Rollen zusammengefaßte, leicht abzurechnende Vorratsgeld, welches zum größten Teil aus den Tageseinnahmen besteht, wird in der Kassenzentrale abgeliefert, so daß der Transporttresor leer ist und an einer beliebigen Stelle aufbewahrt werden kann. Am nächsten Morgen entnimmt der Kassierer seinen persönlichen Kasseneinsatz, setzt ihn in einen beliebigen Transporttresor ein und verschließt beides nach Einlegendes Vorratsgeldes mit seinem persönlichen Deckel.This object is achieved by the features contained in the characterizing part of claim 1. Accordingly, the actual cash drawer is, in a known manner, an integral part of the cash register or the cash register, so that this complex and expensive component only has to be provided in a number corresponding to the number of cash registers but not to the number of cashiers. To transport the money from the cash desk to the cash register, the cashier removes the cash drawer from the cash drawer and inserts it into the transport safe belonging to it, which also contains the reserve money, puts the lid on and closes it with his personal key. In the cash register, he takes the till with the change that cannot be charged, closes it with his lid and deposits this small, compact container in the night safe; The easy-to-settle reserve money, which is bundled into bundles or rolls, and which largely consists of the daily income, is delivered to the cash register, so that the transport safe is empty and can be stored anywhere. The next morning, the cashier takes out his personal till, puts it in any transport safe and closes both with his personal lid after depositing the reserve money.

In einer Ausgestaftung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der Transporttresor als oben offener Kasten ausgebildet ist, und daß der gegenüber dem Transporttresor eine geringere Höhe aufweisende Kasseneinsatz in dem Transporttresor so einsetzbar ist, daß unterhalb des Kasseneinsatzes ein Raum für die Aufnahme des Vorratsgeldes verbleibt. Dazu sind im Transporttresor im Abstand von dessen Boden Stützböcke vorgesehen, auf die der Kasseneinsatz aufgesetzt wird. Der Kasseneinsatz ist vorzugsweise als oben offene Schale ausgebildet, deren oberer Rand im wesentlichen auf seinem ganzen Umfang am inneren oberen Randbereich des Transporttresors anliegt. Der Kasseneinsatz schließt demnach den zur Aufnahme des Vorratsgeldes dienenden Raum nach Art eines Deckels ab; der Kasseneinsatz wird seinerseits zumindest im Bereich der Hartgeldfächer durch den eigentlichen Deckel der Anordnung abgeschlossen, so daß beide Geldräume voneinander getrennt sind und beispielsweise auch bei Transporterschütterungen o.dgl. das Wechselgeld und das Vorratsgeld sich nicht miteinander vermischen können.In a configuration of the invention it is provided that the transport safe is designed as a box open at the top, and that the cash insert, which has a lower height than the transport safe, can be used in the transport safe in such a way that a space for receiving the reserve money remains underneath the cash register. For this purpose, support stands are provided in the transport safe at a distance from the floor thereof, onto which the cash register insert is placed. Cashier use is preferred formed as a shell open at the top, the upper edge of which rests essentially over its entire circumference on the inner upper edge region of the transport safe. The checkout therefore closes the space used to hold the reserve money in the manner of a cover; the cashier is in turn completed at least in the area of the hard money compartments by the actual cover of the arrangement, so that the two cash areas are separated from one another and, for example, also in the case of transporter shocks or the like. the change and the reserve money cannot mix.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der Deckel einen im wesentlichen auf seinem ganzen Umfang nach unten abgebogenen Rand aufweist, welcher den oberen Randbereich des Kasseneinsatzes außen überlappt, und daß die Außenkontur des Deckelrandes im wesentlichen mit der Außenkontur des Transporttresors bündig ist. Der Transporttresor bildet mit dem Deckel zusammen einen optisch ansprechenden, glatten Körper ohne störende Vorsprünge.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the lid has an edge which is bent down substantially over its entire circumference and which overlaps the upper edge region of the cash insert and that the outer contour of the lid edge is essentially flush with the outer contour of the transport safe. Together with the lid, the transport safe forms a visually appealing, smooth body without annoying projections.

Um nach der Entnahme des Kasseneinsatzes aus dem das Vorratsgeld enthaltenden Transporttresor diesen am Kassenplatz zu sichern, ist in weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen, daß am Transporttresor Verriegelungsmittel vorgesehen sind, welche mit an einem vorbestimmten Abstellplatz angeordneten Verriegelungsmitteln zum Zwecke einer Fixierung des Transporttresores auf diesem Abstellplatz zusammenwirken. Diese Verriegelungsmittel umfassen erfindungsgemäß einen auf dem Abstellplatz angeordneten, durch den Boden des Transporttresors nach innen ragenden, etwa pilzförmigen Zapfen sowie eine auf der Innenseite des Bodens des Transporttresors verschiebbar angeordnete, in ihrer Schließstellung unter den Kopf des Zapfens greifende Lasche o.dgl. Da die Lasche im inneren des durch den Deckel verschließbaren Transporttresors angeordnet ist, braucht diese selbst nicht durch einen Schlüssel abschließbar zu sein.In order to secure the cash deposit from the transport safe containing the reserve money at the cash desk after removal of the cash insert, in a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that locking means are provided on the transport safe, which are arranged with locking means arranged at a predetermined parking space for the purpose of fixing the transport safe on this parking space work together. According to the invention, these locking means comprise a mushroom-shaped peg which is arranged on the parking space and projects inward through the bottom of the transport safe, and a tab or the like which is displaceably arranged on the inside of the floor of the transport safe and which engages under the head of the peg in its closed position. Since the tab is arranged inside the transport safe, which can be closed by the cover, it does not need to be lockable by a key.

Weitere Vorteile sowie Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Patentansprüchen, der Zeichnung sowie der Zeichnungsbeschreibung. Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in dieser Zeichnung dargestellt und im folgenden näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:

Further advantages and features of the invention result from the patent claims, the drawing and the description of the drawing. An embodiment of the invention is shown in this drawing and described in more detail below. Show it:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of the individual components of the overall arrangement.
  • Figure 2 is a side sectional view of a transport safe with inserted cash register and attached lid.
  • FIG. 3 shows the cash register insert according to FIG. 2 with the cover attached; FIG.
  • Fig. 4 is a partially sectioned front view of a transport safe according to FIG. 2 with an illustration of the locking means.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine herkömmliche Registrierkasse 2 mit einer dieser zugeordneten Kassenlade 4. Diese besteht aus einer Schublade 6, welche normalerweise in das Gehäuse der Kassenlade 4 eingefahren und durch einen Deckel 8 verschlossen ist. Für einen Kassiervorgang kann die Schublade 6 durch wenigstens teilweises Ausfahren sowie durch Öffnen der Klappe 8 zugänglich gemacht werden, wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist.1 shows a conventional cash register 2 with a cash drawer 4 assigned to it. This consists of a drawer 6, which is normally inserted into the housing of the cash drawer 4 and is closed by a cover 8. For a checkout process, the drawer 6 can be made accessible by at least partially extending it and opening the flap 8, as shown in FIG. 1.

In der Schublade 6 befindet sich ein Kasseneinsatz 10, welcher in geeigneter Weise in einzelne Fächer für die Aufnahme von Papiergeld und Hartgeld aufgeteilt ist. Dieser Kasseneinsatz kann zum Zwecke seines Transportes aus der Schublade 6 herausgenommen und in einen Transporttresor 12 eingesetzt werden. In Fig. 1, unten, ist der Kasseneinsatz 10 gestrichelt dargestellt. Im Inneren des Transporttresors 12 sind an dessen Seitenwänden Stützböcke 54 (Fig. 2, 4) angebracht, auf welchen der Kasseneinsatz 10 aufsitzt. Unterhalb des in den Transporttresor 12 eingesetzten Kasseneinsatzes 10 verbleibt ein Raum zur Aufnahme von beispielsweise gebündeltem oder zur Rollen zusammengefaßtem Vorratsgeld.In the drawer 6 there is a till insert 10 which is suitably divided into individual compartments for holding paper money and hard money. This cash register insert can be removed from the drawer 6 for the purpose of being transported and inserted into a transport safe 12. In Fig. 1, below, the till 10 is shown in dashed lines. In the interior of the transport safe 12, support stands 54 (FIGS. 2, 4) are mounted on the side walls thereof, on which the till insert 10 is seated. Below the cash insert 10 inserted in the transport safe 12 there remains a space for receiving, for example, bundled or rolled up storage money.

Der Transporttresor 12 kann durch einen auf diesen aufsetzbaren Deckel 14 verschlossen werden. Ein Schloss 16 dient zum diebessicheren Abschließen des Deckels 14.The transport safe 12 can be closed by a cover 14 which can be placed thereon. A lock 16 is used to securely lock the lid 14.

Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 1, unten, hervorgeht, liegt der obere Rand des Kasseneinsatzes 10 im wesentlichen auf seinem ganzen Umfang am inneren, oberen Randbereich des Transporttresors 12 an, so daß die Öffnung des Transporttresors durch den Kasseneinsatz verschlossen wird. Da auf diese Weise die Öffnungskonturen des Transporttresors 12 und des Kasseneinsatzes 10 im wesentlichen kongruent sind, kann der Deckel 14 auch zum Verschließen des Kasseneinsatzes 10 dienen, wie einleitend schon beschrieben wurde.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 1, below, the upper edge of the cash register insert 10 lies essentially over its entire circumference on the inner, upper edge region of the transport safe 12, so that the opening of the transport safe is closed by the cash register insert. Since the opening contours of the transport safe 12 and the till insert 10 are essentially congruent in this way, the cover 14 can also serve to close the till insert 10, as has already been described in the introduction.

Wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich ist der Kasseneinsatz 10 an seiner äußeren Rückseite mit Ausneh. mungen 22 versehen, die mit am oberen Randbereich 18 des Transporttresors 12 ausgebildeten Ausnehmungen 22' fluchten, wenn der Kasseneinsatz 10 sich im Transporttresor 12 befindet. Am hinteren Deckelrand 26 ausgebildete Vorsprünge 24 greifen durch die Ausnehmungen 22' hindurch in die Ausnehmungen 22 ein.As can be seen from FIG. 2, the till insert 10 is on its outer rear side with a recess. Mungen 22 provided that are aligned with recesses 22 'formed on the upper edge region 18 of the transport safe 12 when the cash insert 10 is in the transport safe 12. Protrusions 24 formed on the rear edge of the cover 26 engage into the recesses 22 through the recesses 22 '.

Der vordere Deckelrand 28 hat im Querschnitt etwa das Profil eines offenen Kastens. Dadurch wird einerseits die Festigkeit des Deckels vergrö- βert, andererseits dient dieser Kasten auch zur Unterbringung des Schlosses 16. Dieses umfaßt einen in Richtung des Pfeiles 30 schwenkbar in einer Ausnehmung eines Stützwinkels 31 gelagerten, durch eine Druckfeder 32 in Öffnungsrichtung belasteten Riegel 34, welcher durch einen mittels eines Schlüssels betätigbaren Schließhebel 36 in seine Schließstellung gedrückt werden kann, wie nicht näher ausgeführt zu werden braucht. Der Stützwinkel 31 ist mit seinem ersten Schenkel auf der Innenseite des vorderen Deckelrandes 28 so angebracht, daß sein zweiter Schenkel parallel zur oberen Deckfläche des Deckels 14 verläuft. Bei auf den Transporttresor 12 aufgesetztem Deckel 14 stützt sich der zweite Schenkel des Stützwinkels 31 auf den vorderen Oberkanten des Transporttresors 12 und des Kasseneinsatzes 10 ab. Der Riegel 34 greift in seiner Schließstellung unter einen an der Vorderseite des Kasseneinsatzes 10 vorgesehenen Vorsprung 37, welcher durch eine aus der Vorderseite vorspringende Nase 38 gebildet wird.The front lid edge 28 has approximately the profile of an open box in cross section. This on the one hand increases the strength of the lid, and on the other hand this box also serves to accommodate the lock 16. This comprises a bolt 34 which is pivotably mounted in the direction of arrow 30 in a recess in a support bracket 31 and is loaded by a compression spring 32 in the opening direction, which can be pressed into its closed position by a lock lever 36 which can be actuated by means of a key, as need not be explained in more detail. The support bracket 31 is attached with its first leg on the inside of the front lid edge 28 so that its second Leg runs parallel to the upper cover surface of the cover 14. When the cover 14 is placed on the transport safe 12, the second leg of the support bracket 31 is supported on the front upper edges of the transport safe 12 and the till insert 10. In its closed position, the latch 34 engages under a projection 37 provided on the front of the till insert 10, which is formed by a nose 38 projecting from the front.

Die Vorderwand 40 des Transporttresors 12 ist mit einer nach innen abgesetzten Stufe 42 versehen, deren Tiefe etwa der Tiefe des Kastenprofils des vorderen Deckelrandes 28 entspricht. Diese Formgebung ermöglicht es, die Außenkontur des Deckels 14 in seinem Überlappungsbereich mit der Wand des Transporttresors 12 fluchtend auszubilden.The front wall 40 of the transport safe 12 is provided with an inwardly stepped step 42, the depth of which corresponds approximately to the depth of the box profile of the front lid edge 28. This shape makes it possible to design the outer contour of the cover 14 in its overlap region to be flush with the wall of the transport safe 12.

Wie Fig. 2 weiter erkennen läßt, greift der Riegel 34 durch eine in der Vorderwand 40 des Transporttresors 12 ausgebildete Ausnehmung 44 hindurch und verriegelt auf diese Weise den Deckel 14 auch gegenüber dem Transporttresor 12. Der Deckel 14 kann demnach zum Verschließen des Transporresors 12 alleine, des Transporttresors mit eingesetztem Kasseneinsatz 10 sowie zum Verschließen des Kasseneinsatzes 10 alleine dienen. Diese letztere Konfiguration ist in Fig. 3 dargestellt, in der die mit Fig. 2 gleichen Teile mit gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen sind.As can also be seen in FIG. 2, the latch 34 extends through a recess 44 formed in the front wall 40 of the transport safe 12 and in this way locks the cover 14 also with respect to the transport safe 12. The cover 14 can therefore be used to close the transport safe 12 alone , the transport safe with inserted cash register 10 and for closing the cash register 10 alone. This latter configuration is shown in FIG. 3, in which the parts that are the same as FIG. 2 are provided with the same reference numerals.

Fig. 4 zeigt in einer Vorderansicht den Transporttresor 12 mit aufgesetztem Deckel 14. Zur Sicherung des Transporttresors 12 auf seinem vorbestimmten Abstellplatz dienen Verriegelungsmittel 46. Diese umfassen einerseits einen aus der Abstellfläche 48 hervorstehenden, durch den Boden des Transporttresors 12 nach innen ragenden, etwa pilzförmigen Zapfen 50 sowie andererseits eine auf der Innenseite des Tresorbodens verschiebbar angeordnete Lasche 52, welche in einer Schließstellung unter den Kopf des Zapfens 50 greift, in einer Öffnungsstellung diesen Kopf jedoch freigibt. Da die Lasche 52 im Inneren des Transporttresors 12 angeordnet ist, kann er nur nach Abnehmen des verschließbaren Deckels 14 betätigt werden, so daß eine gesonderte, abschließbare Verriegelung für diese Lasche nicht erforderlich ist.4 shows a front view of the transport safe 12 with the cover 14 attached. To secure the transport safe 12 in its predetermined parking space, locking means 46 are used. These comprise, on the one hand, a mushroom-shaped protruding from the storage surface 48 and projecting inwards through the bottom of the transport safe 12 Pin 50 and, on the other hand, a tab 52 slidably arranged on the inside of the safe bottom, which engages under the head of the pin 50 in a closed position, but releases this head in an open position. Since the tab 52 is arranged inside the transport safe 12, it can only be actuated after the lockable cover 14 has been removed, so that a separate, lockable lock for this tab is not required.

Claims (5)

1. A cashbox system comprising a cash drawer (4) cooperating with a cash register (2) or the like and at least one cash insert (10) insertable into the cash drawer and adapted to hold cash, and adapted to be transported closed together with an additional cash reserve not to be accommodated therein, characterised by
- a transportable strongbox (12) for holding the cash insert (10) and containing an additional space (20) for receiving the reserve cash, and
- a closable lid (14) adapted for optionally closing the cash insert (10) or the transportable strongbox (12).
2. A cashbox system according to claim 1, characterised in that the transportable strongbox (12) is a box open at the top and the cash insert (10), which is shallower than the strongbox (12) is adapted to be placed inside the strongbox (12) on blocks (54) disposed at a distance from the bottom, leaving a space for holding the reserve cash under the cash insert (10).
3. A cashbox system according to claim 2, characterised in that the cash insert (10) is constructed as a dish open at the top, the top edge of which butts substantially around its entire periphery against the inner, upper edge region (18) of the transportable strongbox (12).
4. A cashbox system according to claim 3, characterised in that the lid (14) has a downwardly bent edge substantially around its entire periphery and at least partly overlapping the exterior of the upper edge region of the transportable strongbox (12), and in that the overlapped edge region so recedes that the outer contour of the edge (28) of the lid is substantially flush with and merges into the outer contour (40) of the transportable strongbox (12).
5. A cashbox system according to claim 4, characterised in that the outside of the back wall of the cash insert (10) is formed with recesses (22) which are in line with recesses (22') in the back wall of the transportable strongbox (12) when the cash insert (10) is inserted therein, the recesses (22, 22') being adapted to engage projections (24) disposed on the associated edge (26) of the lid, and in that a recess (44) is formed on the front wall of the transportable strongbox (12) and a projection (37) is provided on the front wall of the cash insert (10) and, when the cash insert is inserted, is in line with the recess (44), and a latch (34) disposed on the lid (14) is adapted to pass through the recess (44) and is lockable under the projection (37).
