Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schlüsselkasten nach dem Oberbegriff des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs 1. Schlüssel­kästen dieser Art sind allgemein bekannt. Bei Verwendung eines solchen Schlüsselkastens muss an jedem Schlüssel ein Schlüsselanhänger mit einer Nummer angebracht und an Hakenleisten angehängt werden. Die Hakenleisten sind im Kasten befestigt und ebenfalls entsprechend den Schlüsseln numeriert. Um möglichst viele Schlüssel unterbringen zu können, sind die Hakenleisten oft auch an der Innenseite einer Flügeltür angebracht. Diese Schlüsselkästen bedingen eine aufwendige Handhabung der Schlüssel, von denen bei grossen Anlagen ohne weiteres mehrere hundert vorhanden sind. Bisher mussten die Schlüssel vom Hersteller in Beutel oder Säckchen abgefüllt und diese mit Nummern versehen werden. Diese Beutel gingen zum Beschlägehändler und von diesem zum Bauführer, der die Schlüssel schliesslich dem Bauherrn übergab. Dieser musste nun an den Schlüsseln die Schlüsselanhänger anbringen, die Hakenleisten entsprechend numerieren und die Schlüssel geordnet in den Schlüssel­kasten hängen, wobei von jedem Schlüssel in der Regel drei Ausführungen vorhanden sind. Bereits bei mittelgrossen Anlagen war diese Handhabung für alle Beteiligten zeitauf­wendig und unangenehm.The invention relates to a key box according to the preamble of independent claim 1. Key boxes of this type are generally known. When using such a key box, a key fob with a number must be attached to each key and attached to hook strips. The hook strips are fixed in the box and also numbered according to the keys. In order to accommodate as many keys as possible, the hook strips are often attached to the inside of a double door. These key boxes require elaborate handling of the keys, of which several hundred are readily available in large systems. Previously, the keys had to be filled into bags or sacks by the manufacturer and given numbers will. These bags went to the hardware dealer and from there to the construction manager, who finally handed over the keys to the client. He now had to attach the key fobs to the keys, number the hook strips accordingly and hang the keys in an orderly manner in the key box, whereby there are usually three versions of each key. Even with medium-sized plants, this handling was time-consuming and uncomfortable for everyone involved.

Ein weiterer Nachteil des genannten Schlüsselkastens be­steht darin, dass er bei grossen Schliessanlagen für Hotels und Spitäler viel Wandfläche beansprucht und in der Regel auch unschön wirkt.Another disadvantage of the key box mentioned is that it takes up a lot of wall space in large locking systems for hotels and hospitals and usually also looks unsightly.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Schlüssel­kasten der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, der die oben genannten Nachteile vermeidet und der die Handhabung der Schlüssel grosser Anlagen auf dem Weg vom Schlüsselher­steller zum Bauherr vereinfacht und der bei einfachem Auf­bau trotzdem sicher ist und kostengünstig hergestellt werden kann.The invention has for its object to provide a key box of the type mentioned, which avoids the disadvantages mentioned above and which simplifies the handling of the keys of large systems on the way from the key manufacturer to the builder and which is still safe and inexpensive to manufacture with a simple structure can.

Die Aufgabe wird durch die Erfindung gemäss Anspruch 1 gelöst.The object is achieved by the invention according to claim 1.

Durch die Erfindung ergibt sich eine grundlegende Aenderung in der Handhabung der Schlüssel einer Anlage vom Hersteller bis zum Bauherrn.Die Schlüssel können bereits beim Herstel­ler gemäss dem Schliessplan in den Fächern der Körper ab­gelegt werden. In dieser Weise geordnet und untergebracht gehen die Schlüssel den üblichen Weg bis zum Bauherrn, der dann die Schlüssel bereits geordnet und untergebracht er­hält. Insbesondere entfällt das zeitaufwendige Einordnen der Schlüssel in den Schlüsselkasten vollständig. Der Her­steller kann das umständliche Abfüllen der Schlüssel und das Beschriften der Schlüsselbeutel vermeiden. Ein auto­matisches Einstecken der Schlüssel in die Körper ist ohne weiteres möglich.The invention results in a fundamental change in the handling of the keys of a system from the manufacturer to the client. The keys can already be stored in the compartments of the body according to the locking plan. Ordered and housed in this way, the keys go the usual way to the client, who then receives the keys in order and housed. In particular, the time-consuming arrangement of the keys in the key box is completely eliminated. The manufacturer can avoid the cumbersome filling of the keys and the labeling of the key bags. An automatic insertion of the key into the body is easily possible.

Der Schlüsselkasten kann auf den Boden oder auf einen Tisch gestellt werden. Es können auch mehrere Kästen auf oder übereinander aufgestellt werden, womit auf wenig Raum sehr viele Schlüssel untergebracht werden können.The key box can be placed on the floor or on a table. It is also possible to place several boxes on or above each other, which means that a large number of keys can be accommodated in a small space.

Gemäss einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung des Anmeldungs­gegenstandes sind die Körper im Behälter aus Stahlblech eingesetzt. Dies ergibt einen leichten und dennoch stabi­len Schlüsselkasten.According to an advantageous development of the subject of the application, the bodies are inserted into the sheet steel container. This results in a light yet stable key box.

Gemäss einer weiteren Ausführungsform sind die Körper aus Polystyrol oder einem ähnlichen Kunststoff hergestellt.According to a further embodiment, the bodies are made of polystyrene or a similar plastic.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 in perspektivischer Darstellung die auseinanderge­zogenen Teile eines Kastenteils, und
  • Fig. 2 eine perspektivische Darstellung eines Schlüssel­kastens.
An embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the drawing. Show it:
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the exploded parts of a box part, and
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a key box.

Der Schlüsselkasten weist ein Kastengehäuse 9 mit einer Flügeltür 10 und einem Schloss 11 auf. Im Kasten 9 sind mehrere übereinander angeordnete Einschubteile 8 heraus­ziehbar eingesetzt.The key box has a box housing 9 with a wing door 10 and a lock 11. In box 9, a plurality of slide-in parts 8 arranged one above the other are inserted so that they can be pulled out.

Jeder Einschubteil 8 besteht aus einem oben offenen Gehäuse 18 aus Stahlblech, in das ein Körper 4 eingesetzt ist. Dieser besteht beispielsweise aus Polystyrol und besitzt auf der Oberseite mehrere Fächer 5, die so dimensioniert sind, dass in jedes drei Schlüssel 6 eingesteckt werden können.Each insert part 8 consists of a housing 18 made of sheet steel, open at the top, into which a body 4 is inserted. This consists, for example, of polystyrene and has several compartments 5 on the upper side, which are dimensioned such that three keys 6 can be inserted into each.

Eine flache Einlage 1 weist entsprechend der Anordnung der Fächer 5 Fenster 2 auf, die jeweils mit einer aufgedruck­ten Bezeichnung 3 versehen sind. Die Einlage 3 ist auf die Oberseite des Körpers gelegt, wobei die Schlüssel 3 oben so weit aus den Fenstern 2 herausragen, dass sie leicht gefasst und aus den Fächern 5 gezogen werden können. Die Schlüssel 6 sind im Körper 4 gemäss Schliessplan abgelegt und können nach einer Benutzung entsprechend den Bezeich­nungen 3 wieder geordnet eingesetzt werden. Frontseitig ist an jedem Schubladengehäuse 18 eine Beschriftungstafel 7 angebracht, auf welcher die im Kasten befindlichen Schlüs­sel bezeichnet werden können. Wird ein Schlüssel benötigt, so lässt sich anhand der Tafeln 7 sofort erkennen, welcher Einschubteil 8 aus dem Schlüsselkasten 9 herausgezogen wer­den muss. Anhand der Bezeichnungen 3 wird dann sofort der benötigte Schlüssel gefunden.A flat insert 1 has windows 2 corresponding to the arrangement of the compartments 5, each of which is provided with a printed designation 3. The insert 3 is placed on the top of the body, with the key 3 above protrude so far from the windows 2 that they can be easily gripped and pulled out of the compartments 5. The keys 6 are stored in the body 4 in accordance with the locking plan and can be re-used according to the designations 3 after use. On the front of each drawer housing 18 there is a label 7 on which the keys located in the box can be identified. If a key is required, it can be seen immediately from the plates 7 which insert part 8 has to be pulled out of the key box 9. The required key is then immediately found using the designations 3.

Die Bezeichnungen 3 werden bereits vom Schlüsselhersteller nach Schliessplan gedruckt und die Schlüssel 6 ebenfalls im Werk in die Körper 4 eingesetzt. Eine Umordnung der Schlüssel 6 durch den Bauherrn oder andere Beteiligte oder sonstige Aenderungen am Schlüsselkasten sind nicht erforder­lich. Aus den obigen Angaben ergibt sich somit ein Schlüs­selkasten, der die Handhabung von Schlüsseln einer Schliess­anlage wesentlich vereinfacht und der bei einfachem Aufbau die sichere Unterbringung und einfache Benutzung der Schlüs­sel ermöglicht.The designations 3 are already printed by the key manufacturer according to the locking plan and the keys 6 are also inserted into the body 4 in the factory. A reorganization of the key 6 by the client or other participants or other changes to the key box are not necessary. A key box results from the above information, which considerably simplifies the handling of keys in a locking system and which, with a simple structure, enables the keys to be stored and used easily.
