Definitions

  • This invention generally relates to cash registers or similar computing machines, provided with a drawer-box whose drawer opens each time the cashier actuates the cash register in order to cash the due amount and possibly to give the change and more particularly it relates to a drawer-box for machines of this kind,which is new and improved from the standpoint of the safety requirements.
  • a robber can tamper with brutal methods the drawer of the cash register and take possession of the drawer contents by keeping under the threat of an arm both the cashier and the personnel working in the shop or the like.
  • a safety drawer-box for cash registers or the like which is characterized in that it includes at least two drawers, one of which is intended to act as a little safe of the moneybox type and is provided with a timed opening lock for winding up a timer and with a slot or the like for introducing, when the drawer is closed and locked, the cash surplus and the other(s) drawers are designed for the conventional uses of receiving cash money, possibly provided with the conventional compartments for the different money sizes, for the small change and for cheques, documents or the like.
  • the timed opening lock is of a fixed time type.
  • the timed opening lock is of a controllable time type.
  • the drawer-box 1 forms a part of a conventional cash register or the like 2.
  • the drawer-box 1 includes the conventional drawer 3 provided with a set of compartments 4 for receiving bank-notes and money pieces and the opening of which is directly controlled by the cashier, this drawer being normally in a closed position.
  • a safety drawer 5 is provided, having a slot 6 for introducing the cash surplus therein, this drawer being intended to be locked in a closed position by a time lock 8 as discussed hereinbelow.
  • the time lock 8 is applied to the drawer-box 1 in a location between the two drawers 3 and5.
  • This lock drives a rod 9 guided in a partition 9' of the drawer-box frame and ends in a disc 10 provided with an axially extending prong 11.
  • This prong 11 can engage another prong 12 axially extending from a cam 13 secured to the shaft of a timer 14, in turn secured to the drawer-box frame.
  • the cam 13 engages the end of a bolt 16, slidably arranged in a bushing 17 secured to a partition 15 of the drawer-box frame, which bolt is pushed against the cam by a spring 18 and the other end of which is intended to enter a hole 19 of a bracket 20 secured to the drawer 5.
  • the cam 13 has a recessed portion 21 intended to receive the bolt 16 in a position out of engagement with the drawer 5 and therefore in the inactive position in which the drawer 5 can be opened.
  • the lock 8 is of a controllable opening time type and to this purpose it is provided with a set of peripheral notches 22 permitting the key to be extracted in any angular position of the disc 10, thereby winding up the timer through the cam 13 for the desired time.
  • the cashier can introduce through the slot 6 the bank-notes 7 forming the cash surplus, thereby keeping them out of the reach of a potential robber. If he, during a robbery and under the threat of an arm, would have the key handed over by the cashier, everything he can do is to open the lock, so that the disc 10 is returned to its starting position, thereby releasing the timer 14 which starts to wind down, but in order to open the safety drawer 5, he must await that the time set on the timer has elapsed, i.e. that the cam 13 has slowly totated in a reverse direction until the recessed portion 21 is again in front of the bolt 16 which then will snap therein under the force of the spring 18, thereby leaving the hole 19 of bracket 20 and unlocking the drawer.
  • the robber Since the time of the timer is set so as to permit the intervention of safety personnel, the robber would have his robbery action baffled.
  • the opening of drawer 3 is controlled by the cash register and its outwards movement is caused automatically by a spring 23, which can also be provided for the outwards movement of the safety drawer 5.
  • the drawer-box 100 shown in Figs. 5,6 and 7 is quite sirt6lar to the above described drawer with the exception that it is intended to be secured below an existing drawer-box 1 of a cash register 2, as shown in Fig.8.
  • drawer 30 which can be employed for any use, for example to receive cheques, documents or the like.
  • the timed opening device of the safety drawer 5 is substantially the same as the preceding one.
  • drawers locking and unlocking by snap action obtained by exerting a pushing force on the drawer are used which are known per se and readily available in commerce.
  • spring release locks which are known per se and readily available in commerce. These locks have an arm 33 provided with a roll, said arm snapping both in a closed and an open position by exerting a pushing force thereon.
  • the drawers 5 and 30 on their rear wall have brackets 32 whose sides extending parallel to the rear wall of the drawer engage behind the arm 33 of the spring release locks 31.
  • the arms 33 of locks 31 will snap in a closed position and the drawe 4 will be kept locked.
  • the arms 33 will be unlocked and opened ( see the position shown in dashed line in Fig.5) and the drawers can be extracted.
  • the time lock 8 is always provided and the bolt 16 has the locking end so shaped as to enter the space behind the bracket 32 under the action of cam 13, thereby preventing the drawer 5 from being pushed inwardly to unlock the arm 33 and -therefore the safety drawer 5 cannot be opened.
  • the timer 14 is fully wound down the bolt 16 is extracted from its locking position and the drawer 5 can be unlocked by exerting a push force thereon and then opened.
  • locking device of the safety drawer here described has been given by way of example only since it is very simple in its construction and therefore very inexpensive, but it should be understood that locking devices of different kind can be provided, such as electro-mechanical and electrical devices, without departing from the scope of the present invention which is to provide a drawer-box for cash registers or the like provided with a safety drawer of moneybox type, which can be opened only after a programmed time has elapsed.
