Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the cash drawer In modern cash registers, the cash drawer is often no longer designed as a drawer that can be extended from the actual cash register housing, for work-related and ergonomic reasons, but rather as a drawer next to the cash register housing with a lid controlled by the cash register.
  • this lid is opened automatically by a command entered into the cash register by the cashier and is closed again automatically or manually after the checkout process.
  • the electrical connection between the cash register and the cash drawer takes place via the base part which is electrically coupled to the cash register and onto which the cash drawer is placed.
  • the cash drawer can be removed from the base part and, for example, into one Cashier can be transported; the cash drawer is also released electrically from the cash register.
  • a lock is generally provided, which allows the lid to be locked or unlocked manually by means of a key.
  • a cash register-controlled cash cassette with a locking device of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 is already known from EP O 136 372 B1, in which the bolt is biased in the direction of its unlocking position by a spring and can be locked in its locking position by a pawl.
  • the pawl can be moved from its locking position on the one hand by the locking element of a lock, and on the other hand by an electrically switchable switching element, whereby the bolt is released for movement into the unlocking position and the lid opens.
  • the known device is mechanically very complex and therefore very expensive to manufacture and assemble.
  • the large number of interacting moving parts there is also the risk of premature wear or misalignment of these parts, which can lead to failure of the device.
  • Another disadvantage of the known device is seen in the fact that even when the cash drawer is placed on the base part, it is possible to unlock the cover via the lock, which opens up the possibility that the cash drawer can also be opened and, for example, withdrawn money independently of a cash register transaction processed via the cash register becomes.
  • a locking element is provided which inevitably comes into engagement with the closing element when the cash drawer is placed on the base part and locks it in its inactive position.
  • the locking element can in principle be part of the cash drawer or the base part; The condition is that the locking element is arranged or designed so that it blocks the locking element in its inactive position when the cash drawer is correctly placed on the base part, so that it can no longer be moved into its effective position by means of the key for the lock which moves the bolt into its unlocked position.
  • the locking element is adjustably arranged on the cash drawer housing between a locking position and a release position, an actuating surface being formed on the base part, which comes into engagement with the locking element when the cash drawer is placed and moves this into its locking position; accordingly, when the cash drawer is removed from the base part, the locking element is returned to its release position, so that when the cash drawer is removed from the base part, the lock is fully functional again.
  • the locking element is assigned a return spring which prestresses the locking element in the direction of its release position. The locking element is then moved into its locked position against the force of the return spring when the cash drawer is placed on the base part and returns to its release position when the cash drawer is removed by the force of the return spring.
  • the locking element is designed as a pivot arm arranged on the bolt.
  • the pivotability of the locking element allows the movement of the same between the locking position and the release position, on the other hand it allows a cash register-controlled movement of the bolt between the unlocking position and locking position without the locking element coming out of engagement with the closing element.
  • the closing element is a pivoting lever, the blocking element being adjustable between a blocking position projecting into the pivoting path of the closing element and a release position withdrawn from the pivoting path.
  • a locking spring is also assigned to the bolt, which prestresses it in the direction of its locking position, the locking lever of the lock and the cash register-controlled switching element with the bolt each for adjustment in the direction of its unlocking position can be brought into engagement or can be brought out of engagement for an adjustment in the direction of the locking position.
  • the movement of the bolt into its unlocked position takes place against the force of the return spring, while the movement in the locked position is caused by this return spring.
  • the cash drawer 2 shown in FIG. 1 essentially consists of the lower cash drawer housing 4 and the cover 8 which is pivotably arranged thereon about a horizontal axis 6.
  • the cash drawer 2 contains money inserts 10 for paper money or coin money in a manner known per se.
  • a lock 12 is provided which can be actuated by means of a key, not shown; the lock 12 permits a mechanical locking of the cover 8 with the cash drawer housing 4 or an unlocking for opening the cover 8.
  • the cash drawer 2 can be transported independently of a cash register. For its operational use, it is placed on a base part 14 which is arranged in a fixed position at the cash register. As is not shown in detail in FIG. 1, the cash drawer housing 4 has recesses on its underside which can accommodate the functional elements 16 of the base part 14. These functional elements are used, for example, to center and hold the cash drawer 2 on the base part; they also contain, for example, the cash register-controlled, electrically switchable switching elements for adjusting a bolt arranged in the cash drawer, as will be explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the functional elements 16 have an actuating surface which, when the cash drawer 2 is placed on the base part 14, moves a locking element into a locking position, as is also explained with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the base part 14 is electrically connected to a cash register, not shown, so that the switching elements provided on the base part can be actuated by commands entered into the cash register.
  • the cash drawer can be locked to the base part by means not shown in such a way that it can only be removed, for example, by authorized persons.
  • FIG. 2 shows a fragmentary view of the cash drawer 2 with the lid 8 open.
  • the lock 12 On the front wall 18 of the cash drawer housing the lock 12 is arranged, which can be actuated by means of a key 20.
  • a locking element 22 arranged on the inside of the front wall 18 is part of the lock 12. It can be pivoted about the axis 24 of the lock 12 between the active position shown in FIG. 2 and the inactive position shown in FIG. 3.
  • a bolt 26 is arranged in the cash drawer housing in the direction of arrow 28.
  • a locking hook 30 is formed, which interacts with a locking nose 34 arranged on the downwardly bent front wall 32 of the cover 8, as can be seen in particular in FIG. 3.
  • an oblique actuating surface 36 is formed which interacts with a wedge piece 38 arranged on the closing element 22.
  • the wedge piece 38 presses the latch 26 back into its unlocked position via the actuating surface 36 in the pivoted upward operative position of the closing element 22, so that the cover 8 can be opened or automatically by springs acting in the opening direction swings into its open position.
  • the wedge piece 38 releases the bolt 26 so far that it can assume its locking position, in which the bolt hook 30 of the bolt 26 engages behind the bolt nose 34 of the cover 8 and locks it in its closed position .
  • the bolt 26 is biased by a return spring 40 in the direction of its locking position, so that the force against the return spring must be pressed into its unlocking position, while the return of the bolt 26 into its locking position is effected by the return spring 40 .
  • a switching element 44 that is electrically switchable, for example, by a solenoid drive 42 is provided, which engages in a recess 46 formed on the upper side of the latch 26.
  • the latch 26 can also be moved by the switching element 44 into its unlocking position shown in FIG. 2.
  • a locking element 48 is arranged so as to be pivotable about a pivot pin 50.
  • the locking element 48 can be pivoted between a release position shown in FIG. 2 and a locking position shown in FIG. 3.
  • the locking element 48 In its release position, the locking element 48 is outside the pivoting path of the closing element 22, so that it does not hinder its actuation by means of the key 20. In its locking position shown in FIG. 3, the locking element 48 is in a position projecting into the pivoting path of the closing element 22, so that it blocks the closing element 22 in its lower, ineffective position.
  • the base part 14 has an actuating surface 54 which comes into contact with the locking element 48 when the cash drawer 2 is placed on the base part 14 and which inevitably pivots out of the release position shown in FIG. 2 into the locking position shown in FIG. 3.
  • the closing element 22 In order for the blocking element 48 to be in its blocking position, the closing element 22 must assume its lower, ineffective position, i.e. the cover 8 must be mechanically locked. This property can be used to ensure that the cash drawer 2 can only be placed on the base part 14 when the cover 8 is mechanically locked.
  • an inclined surface 56 can be formed on the locking element 48 (shown in broken lines in FIG. 2), with the aid of which the closing element 22 is automatically pivoted into its lower, inactive position when the locking element 48 is moved into its locking position by the actuating surface 54 .
  • the displacement of the bolt 26 is only short and corresponds approximately to the depth of the bolt nose 34.
  • the locking element 48 remains effective, since it either has a sufficient width such that it is at an unlocking movement of the bolt 26 does not come out of engagement with the closing element 22, or since, due to its pivotable mounting, this unlocking movement of the bolt 26 can follow without losing contact with the closing element 22.
  • the closing element 22 of the lock 12 is inevitably blocked in its inactive position when the cash drawer 2 is placed on the base part 14, so that unlocking of the cover 8 is only possible via the cash register-controlled switching element 44.
