Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a box for short-time storage and transportation of value deposits, for example bank-notes and other items of value.
  • cassettes or lockable cases or safety containers for the transportation of value deposits, for example the transportation of bank-notes from a shop to a bank.
  • the case or the safety container with means for providing a visible, permanent change of the value deposit positioned in the case or the container, for example by spoiling or providing a permanent marking of the deposits, if the case or the container is subjected to tampering or damagage.
  • These means can be constituted by a colour gun which, when being released or actuated, sprays colour onto the value deposits which are thereby made unusable.
  • Prior art cassettes, cases or safety containers of this kind are adapted to be supplied with value deposits only on one occasion before an emptying shall take place which means that they, when being used for transportation of value deposits from a shop to a bank, can only in the evening be supplied with money from all recording counters for transportation to the bank.
  • the prior art cassettes, cases or safety containers can not provide a protection for the items of value, for example the money, in the course of the day.
  • the prior art cassettes, cases or safety containers can of course be used only for transportation from one single place, for example one single shop, to a bank or counting center.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a box for short-time storage and transportation of value deposits, for example bank-notes and other items of value, by means of which these drawbacks are obviated.
  • the box according to the invention is constituted by a portable unit, comprising a collecting container for value deposits supplied to the box, having a door for emptying the box, provided with a lock and means positioned in connection with the collecting container adapted, when actuated, to provide a visible, permanent change of the value deposits positioned in the collecting container, for example by spoiling or permanently marking the deposits, the box being characterized by a feed-in device for feeding value deposits into a collecting container and that the feed-in device comprises a compartment adjustable between a supply position and a discharge position, the compartment being in the feed-in position open towards the environments and closed towards the collecting container and being in the discharge position closed towards the environments and open towards the collecting container.
  • a box of this kind can in the course of a whole day be stored in a shop for being supplied with value deposits several times, the value deposits being thereby short-time stored in the shop in a secure way, whereupon the box is at the end of the day transported to a bank or a counting center for being emptied. Also the transportation to the bank or the counting center can thereby be conducted in a completely safe way.
  • the box according to the invention can be used also for collecting value deposits from several different places.
  • the collecting container and the feed-in device are provided with separate locking devices so that it is possible at the location at which the box is supplied with value deposits possible only to open the feed-in device, while the collecting container can be opened only in a bank or in a counting center.
  • the compartment is displacable between the input position and the discharge position and that the compartment is from the discharge position movable to an end position in which the compartment is closed towards the environments as well as towards the collecting container.
  • the feed-in device is constituted by a unit which is displacably journalled in the compartment between extended and inserted positions and being lockable in the inserted position, said unit being thereby suitably constituted by a drawer having a cassette displacably journalled therein, the cassette taking up substantially half of the bottom surface of the drawer and forming the compartment of the feed-in device and being adapted at the displacement of the drawer in the container to be displaced in the drawer so that the cassette is positioned at one end of the drawer in the extended position thereof and at the other end of the drawer in the inserted position of the drawer.
  • the drawer preferably has a driving device for displacing the cassette in the drawer when the drawer is displaced in the compartment, the driving device preferably comprising a first gear rack fastened to a wall of the compartment, a second gear rack fastened to the cassette and a gear wheel connected between the gear racks and rotatably journalled in the drawer.
  • the drawer according to the invention is provided with flaps in connection with the compartment, the flaps being adapted to take an upwardly folded or a downwardly folded position so as to arrange the compartment in an open or a closed position towards the environments and the collecting container, respectively.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematical sectional view of an embodiment of the box according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a schematical end view of the box shown in Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view corresponding to the upper portion of Fig. 1 with a feed-in device of the box in a completely inserted position.
  • Fig. 4 is a section corresponding to Fig. 3 with the feed-in device in a completely extended position.
  • Fig. 5 is a section corresponding to Figs. 3 and 4 with the feed-in device on its way from an extended towards an inserted position.
  • An embodiment of a box for short-time storage and transportation of value deposits as shown in the drawings is constituted by a portable container which suitably is provided with wheels (not shown) for facilitating the displacement of the container.
  • the wheels can for example be constituted by wheel units positioned at one side each of the container and each comprising wheels positioned at the corners of an equilateral triangle, the wheels being rotatable around a common central axis as well as being rotatable around one axis each in the normal way.
  • Such wheel units facilitate the movement of the box in stairs.
  • the container is at its lower portion provided with a locking device 2 by means of which the box can be locked to a floor attachment or another stationary or movable unit in for example a shop where the box is used for short-time storage of value deposits.
  • the locking device 2 is positioned in connection with a groove 3 arranged at the bottom of the box and connectable with a stationary rail in the floor at the place where the box shall be temporarily positioned for being supplied with value deposits.
  • the box has at its lower end a collecting container 4 for value deposits supplied to the box.
  • the collecting container 4 is provided with a door 6 which is opened when the value deposits supplied to the collecting container shall be removed from the box after the box has been transported to a bank, a counting central or the like.
  • the door 4 is provided with a lock which is suitably constituted by a code lock or a lock actuatable by means of a magnetic card.
  • the lock can for example be of mechanic, electromechanic, electrooptical or electronic type.
