Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Scharnier für Selbstkassierergehäuse.The invention relates to a hinge for cashier housings.

Bekannt sind scherenförmige Hebelgetriebe zur Parallelführung zweier Körper, wobei die beiden Schenkel der Schere mittig durch einen Drehzapfen verbunden sind. Die Enden der Schenkel sind bei der einfachen Schere auf einer Seite drehbar gelagert, auf der anderen Seite müssen sie verschiebbar angeordnet sein, um die Schere funktionsfähig zu machen. Die beiden Körper (Gehäuseteile, Schieber usw.) lassen sich dann senkrecht zur Verschieberichtung der beiden Gleitzapfen geradlinig auseinander bzw. zueinander bewegen (O.Richter-R.v.Voss: Bauelemente der Feinmechanik, 5. Aufl., Berlin 1952, S. 443).Scissor-shaped lever gears for parallel guidance of two bodies are known, the two legs of the scissors being connected in the center by a pivot. The ends of the legs are rotatably mounted on one side of the simple scissors, on the other side they have to be slidably arranged in order to make the scissors functional. The two bodies (housing parts, slides, etc.) can then be moved apart or in a straight line perpendicular to the direction of displacement of the two sliding pins (O.Richter-RvVoss: Bauelemente der Feinmechanik, 5th edition, Berlin 1952, p. 443).

Eine solche Bewegungsmöglichkeit ist jedoch für viele Gerätegehäuse, z.B. von Automaten, elektrischen oder nachrichtentechnischen Geräten nicht zufriedenstellend, weshalb hier meistens Scharniere wie Gelenkbänder oder Pianobänder angewendet werden, um den Vorderteil des Gerätes aufschwenken zu können. Doch gibt es Fälle, bei denen die Anwendung solcher Scharniere mit schwerwiegenden Nachteilen für die Sicherheit des Gerätes verknüpft ist. Das gilt besonders für Selbstkassierer, deren Kasse einen Anreiz für Einbruchversuche bildet. Scharnier und Stoßkanten der Gehäuseteile stellen für solche Versuche gute Angriffspunkte dar.Such a possibility of movement is, however, for many device housings, e.g. of machines, electrical or communications equipment not satisfactory, which is why hinges such as hinges or piano tapes are mostly used here to be able to swing open the front part of the device. However, there are cases in which the use of such hinges is associated with serious disadvantages for the safety of the device. This is especially true for self-cashiers, whose tills are an incentive for attempted break-ins. The hinge and abutting edges of the housing parts are good targets for such attempts.

Aus der DE-PS 22 17 123 ist ein Scherengelenk zum Verbinden des schwenkbaren und des feststehenden Gehäuseteiles eines Selbstkassierers bekannt, bei dem die beiden Gehäuseteile mit den Rändern wie Nut und Feder ineinandergreifen, um die Ansatzmöglichkeiten für Einbruchwerkzeuge zu vermindern. Das im Innern des Gehäuses angeordnete Scherengelenk wird von zwei gleichen Schenkeln gebildet, die durch den gemeinsamen Drehzapfen in jeweils einen Hebelarm konstanter Länge und einen Hebelarm variabler Länge geteilt sind. Der Hebelarm konstanter Länge wird durch den gemeinsamen Drehzapfen und einen an dem einen Gehäuseteil befestigten Drehzapfen und der Hebelarm variabler Länge durch den gemeinsamen Drehzapfen und einen am anderen Gehäuseteil befestigten, in einem Langloch des Schenkels geführten Gleitzapfen begrenzt. Durch diese Konstruktion werden die Vorteile eines Scherengetriebes und eines Scharniers vereint, so daß es möglich ist, eng ineinandergreifende Ränder der Gehäuseteile am gesamten Umfang vorzusehen, weil die Gehäuseteile beim Öffnen zunächst linear getrennt und dann geschwenkt bzw. beim Schließen erst geschwenkt und zuletzt gerade zusammengeführt werden. Dieses Scherengelenk setzt aber für seine Unterbringung eine gewisse Tiefe sowohl des beweglichen als auch des feststehenden Gehäuseteiles voraus, die jedoch z.B. bei Münzfernsprechern gegeben ist, da die Einbauten eine relativ große Tiefe des Gehäuses erfordern.From DE-PS 22 17 123 a scissor joint for connecting the pivotable and the fixed housing part of a self-cashier is known, in which the two housing parts interlock with the edges like tongue and groove to reduce the possible approaches for burglary tools. The scissor joint arranged in the interior of the housing is formed by two identical legs which are each divided into a lever arm of constant length and a lever arm of variable length by the common pivot pin. The lever arm of constant length is limited by the common pivot pin and a pivot pin fastened to the one housing part and the lever arm of variable length by the common pivot pin and a slide pin fastened to the other housing part and guided in an elongated hole of the leg. This construction combines the advantages of a scissor gear and a hinge, so that it is possible to provide closely interlocking edges of the housing parts over the entire circumference, because the housing parts are initially separated linearly and then swiveled or swiveled when closing and just brought together last. However, this scissor joint requires a certain depth of both the movable and the fixed housing part for its accommodation, which, however, is the case, for example, with payphones, since the internals require a relatively large depth of the housing.

Die Verkleinerung der elektrischen und auch der mechanischen Bauelemente gestattet nun, das Gehäuse wesentlich flacher zu gestalten. Dabei erscheint es zweckmäßig, als Maßnahme gegen Einbruch und Vandalismus den feststehenden Gehäuseteil nur noch als stabile, plattenförmige Rückwand auszubilden, um diesen Teil fast völlig unempfindlich gegen Gewaltanwendung zu machen. Dadurch rückt auch die Stoßfuge mit dem beweglichen Gehäuseteil, nachfolgend als Haube bezeichnet, so weit an die Wand heran, an der das Gehäuse befestigt ist, daß sie nur noch von vorn und der Seite zugänglich ist. Für das Scharnier ergeben sich dadurch allerdings stark eingeengte, geometrische Verhältnisse.The reduction in size of the electrical and also the mechanical components now makes it possible to make the housing considerably flatter. It appears expedient as a measure against burglary and vandalism to design the fixed housing part only as a stable, plate-shaped rear wall in order to make this part almost completely insensitive to the use of force. As a result, the butt joint with the movable housing part, hereinafter referred to as the hood, moves so far against the wall to which the housing is attached that it is only accessible from the front and the side. However, this results in very narrow geometric conditions for the hinge.

Aus der FR-A-2 057 278 ist ein Doppelkurbelgetriebe für Haushaltesgeräte, wie Herde, Kühlschränke, Waschmaschinen und dergleichen, bekannt, mittels dessen eine angelenkte Tür oder Klappe mit dem Gehäuse verbunden ist.From FR-A-2 057 278 a double crank gear for household appliances such as stoves, refrigerators, washing machines and the like is known, by means of which a hinged door or flap is connected to the housing.

Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, für ein solches Gehäuse mit flacher, feststehender Rückwand und schwenkbarer Haube, deren Stoßkanten als Nut und Feder ineinandergreifen, ein solides Scharnier zu schaffen, das eine reibungslose, sichere Funktion gewährleistet, wenig Raum beansprucht und größtmöglichen Schutz gegen Zerstörung bietet. Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die im Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.The invention is based on the object of creating a solid hinge for such a housing with a flat, fixed rear wall and pivotable hood, the abutting edges of which interlock as tongue and groove, which ensures smooth, safe function, takes up little space and offers the greatest possible protection against Offers destruction. This object is achieved by the features specified in claim 1. Advantageous further developments can be found in the subclaims.

Die Erfindung wird an einem Ausführungsbeispiel beschrieben, das in den zugehörigen Zeichnungen dargestellt ist. Darin zeigen:

Fig. 1
einen Ausschnitt aus einem an einer Wand befestigten Gehäuse eines Selbstkassierers, dessen Rückwand mit der Haube durch ein erfindungsgemäßes Scharnier verbunden ist, bei geschlossenem Gehäuse, quergeschnitten, und
Fig. 2
den Querschnitt nach Fig. 1, jedoch bei geöffnetem Gehäuse.
The invention is described using an exemplary embodiment which is illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In it show:
Fig. 1
a section of a wall-mounted housing of a self-cashier, the rear wall of which is connected to the hood by a hinge according to the invention, with the housing closed, cross-sectioned, and
Fig. 2
the cross section of FIG. 1, but with the housing open.

In den Fig. 1 und 2 ist mit 1 eine Wand bezeichnet, an der der Selbstkassierer befestigt ist. Das Gehäuse des Selbstkassierers besteht aus dem feststehenden Gehäuseteil oder der Rückwand 2 und dem schwenkbaren Gehäuseteil, im folgenden als Haube 3 bezeichnet. Rückwand 2 und Haube 3 sind durch das Scharnier 6 miteinander verbunden.1 and 2, 1 denotes a wall to which the self-cashier is attached. The housing of the cashier consists of the fixed housing part or the rear wall 2 and the pivotable housing part, hereinafter referred to as hood 3. Rear wall 2 and hood 3 are connected to one another by hinge 6.

Die Rückwand 2 besteht aus einer robusten Platte mit hochgezogenem, umlaufenden Rand 5, der stirnseitig mit einer Nut 4 versehen ist, in die der Rand der Haube 3 eingreift, wenn das Gehäuse geschlossen wird. Rückwand 2 und Haube 3 können aus beliebigen Werkstoffen gefertigt werden, im Hinblick auf die Widerstandsfähigkeit gegen Vandalismus ist jedoch eine Beschränkung auf metallische Werkstoffe zweckmäßig, beispielsweise auf Leichtmetall-Legierungen.The rear wall 2 consists of a robust plate with a raised peripheral edge 5, which is provided on the end face with a groove 4, in which the edge of the hood 3 engages when the housing is closed. The rear wall 2 and hood 3 can be made of any material, but in view of the resistance to vandalism, a restriction to metallic materials is expedient, for example to light metal alloys.

Das die Haube 3 mit der Rückwand verbindende Scharnier 6 ist ein Doppelkurbelgetriebe. Das sogenannte Gestell 7 dieses Getriebes besteht aus einem Winkel, dessen einer Schenkel 8 an der Rückwand 2 befestigt ist. Der andere Schenkel 9 enthält zwei Gelenkpunkte 10 und 11, in denen je eine Kurbel 12 angelenkt ist, wobei der eine Gelenkpunkt 10 nahe der Rückwand, also etwa in der Ecke des Winkels 7 und der andere Gelenkpunkt 11 am Ende des freien Schenkels 9 liegt. Die anderen Enden der Kurbeln 12 sind in den Gelenkpunkten 13 und 14 mit der Koppel 16 verbunden. Diese Koppel 16 ist über den einen Gelenkpunkt 14 hinaus verlängert, wobei diese Verlängerung 15 zur Befestigung an der Haube 3 dient. Die Verlängerung 15 ist deshalb als Winkelprofil ausgebildet, wobei der eine Schenkel 17 des Profils mit der Haube durch Schweißen, Nieten oder dergleichen verbunden ist, während der zweite Schenkel in seinem überstehenden Teil die Gelenkpunkte 13 und 14 enthält. Der eine Gelenkpunkt 14 liegt in relativ geringem Abstand von der Stoßkante 18 innerhalb der Haube 3 und der zweite Gelenkpunkt 13 in geringem Abstand außerhalb der Stoßkante der Haube.The hinge 6 connecting the hood 3 to the rear wall is a double crank mechanism. The so-called frame 7 of this transmission consists of an angle, one leg 8 of which is attached to the rear wall 2. The other leg 9 contains two articulation points 10 and 11, in each of which a crank 12 is articulated, the one articulation point 10 being close to the rear wall, that is to say approximately in the corner of the angle 7, and the other articulation point 11 at the end of the free leg 9. The other ends of the cranks 12 are connected to the coupling 16 in the articulation points 13 and 14. This coupling 16 is extended beyond a hinge point 14, this extension 15 being used for attachment to the hood 3. The extension 15 is therefore designed as an angle profile, one leg 17 of the profile being connected to the hood by welding, riveting or the like, while the second leg contains the articulation points 13 and 14 in its projecting part. One hinge point 14 is located at a relatively short distance from the butt edge 18 inside the hood 3 and the second hinge point 13 is at a short distance outside the butt edge of the hood.

Die beiden Kurbeln 12 sind identisch. Ihr Grundriß ist U-förmig, wobei die Gelenkpunkte in den Enden der relativ kurzen freien Schenkel liegen. Während der eine dieser Schenkel etwa rechtwinklig zum Querschenkel steht, schließt der andere Schenkel einen stumpfen Winkel mit dem Querschenkel ein. Die der Rückwand 2 naheliegende Kurbel 12 ist mit dem stumpfwinkligen Schenkel am Gestell 7 angelenkt (Gelenkpunkt 10), dagegen ist die andere Kurbel mit ihrem rechtwinkligen Schenkel mit dem Gestell verbunden (Gelenkpunkt 11). Bei den Verbindungen der Kurbeln mit der Koppel 16 in den Gelenkpunkte 13 und 14 sind die Verhältnisse umgekehrt.The two cranks 12 are identical. Their layout is U-shaped, with the hinge points in the ends of the relatively short free legs. While one of these legs is approximately at right angles to the cross leg, the other leg forms an obtuse angle with the cross leg. The crank 12 close to the rear wall 2 is articulated with the obtuse-angled leg on the frame 7 (articulation point 10), whereas the other crank is connected to the frame with its right-angled leg (articulation point 11). When the cranks are connected to the coupling 16 in the articulation points 13 and 14, the situation is reversed.

Der Rand 5 der Rückwand 2 ist im Bereich der Koppel 16 auf seiner Innenseite mit einer Ausnehmung 19 versehen, was am besten aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich ist. In diese Ausnehmung ragt bei geschlossener Haube 3 die Koppel 16 und der rechtwinklige Schenkel der einen Kurbel 12 teilweise hinein bzw. wird die Ausnehmung durch diese Teile nahezu ausgefüllt, so daß die Schwächung des Randes wieder ausgeglichen ist und das Nut-Feder-Labyrinthsystem aufrecht erhalten bleibt. Andererseits ist das Scharnier so weit wie möglicht in die Ecke des Gehäuses gelegt und beeinträchtigt so am wenigsten dessen Innenraum.The edge 5 of the rear wall 2 is provided in the area of the coupling 16 on its inside with a recess 19, which is best seen in FIG. 2. When the hood 3 is closed, the coupling 16 and the right-angled leg of a crank 12 partially protrude into this recess or the recess is almost filled by these parts, so that the weakening of the edge is balanced again and the tongue and groove labyrinth system is maintained remains. On the other hand, the hinge is placed as far as possible in the corner of the housing and has the least impact on its interior.

Die Funktionsweise des Scharniers bzw. Doppelkurbelgetriebes ist aus den beiden Figuren klar ersichtlich. Im geschlossenen Zustand des Gehäuses entsprechend Fig. 1 liegt der Gelenkpunkt 13 zwischen Koppel 16 und der der Rückwand näheren Kurbel 12 dicht an der Rückwand 2 und in der Ausnehmung 19. Die Kurbel steht etwa parallel zur Rückwand, die Stoßkante 18 der Haube 3 berührt den Grund der Nut 4. Beim Öffnen der Haube 3 in die Stellung gemäß Fig. 2 gleitet deren Stoßkante 18 reibungslos aus der Nut 4 und beschreibt einen Bogen entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn nach innen. Die Haube dreht sich dabei um etwa 90°, die der Rückwand nähere Kurbel 12 legt einen wesentlich größeren Weg um den Gelenkpunkt 10 zurück als die andere Kurbel um den Gelenkpunkt 11.The functioning of the hinge or double crank mechanism is clearly evident from the two figures. 1, the hinge point 13 between the coupling 16 and the crank 12 closer to the rear wall is close to the rear wall 2 and in the recess 19. The crank is approximately parallel to the rear wall, the abutting edge 18 of the hood 3 touches the Bottom of the groove 4. When the hood 3 is opened into the position according to FIG. 2, its abutting edge 18 slides smoothly out of the groove 4 and describes an arc counterclockwise inwards. The hood rotates about 90 °, the crank 12 closer to the rear wall travels a much larger distance around the articulation point 10 than the other crank around the articulation point 11.

Beim Schließen vollzieht die Haube 3 zunächst die Schwenkbewegung und fährt zuletzt linear reibungslos mit ihrer Stoßkante 18 in die Nut 4 der Rückwand 2 ein.When closing, the hood 3 first performs the pivoting movement and lastly moves linearly smoothly with its abutting edge 18 into the groove 4 of the rear wall 2.

Zweckmäßig werden in dem Gehäuse zwei derartige Scharniere in großem Abstand voneinander eingebaut, bei sehr großen Gehäusen können auch drei Scharniere angeordnet werden.Two such hinges are expediently installed in the housing at a large distance from one another; in the case of very large housings, three hinges can also be arranged.
