Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cash storage unit for containing coins, bank notes, card transaction slips, coupons, etc. and to a retail check-out system comprising a cash storage unit.
  • the cash storage unit may be a stand-alone unit, or may form a module or a component part of a cash register or check-out system.
  • Conventional cash registers which generally comprise a housing with a keypad and a display, and a cash drawer unit underneath.
  • the cash drawer generally comprises a tray slidably mounted inside the register. When access to the cash drawer is required, the tray is propelled open towards the operator.
  • the check-out will also normally include some form of computer interface, which may be a keyboard or possibly a computer terminal.
  • the card swipe unit may be integral with the computer interface, e.g. as part of the keyboard.
  • the cash storage unit in such a modular system usually comprises a base for containing the contents of the unit together with a lid which may be opened manually or on receipt of a command e.g. from the keyboard or check-out microprocessor.
  • the cash storage unit is also provided with locking means to lock the drawer in the closed position, which may be an electronic lock, a remotely-operable lock, or a key-operated lock.
  • locking means to lock the drawer in the closed position, which may be an electronic lock, a remotely-operable lock, or a key-operated lock.
  • the unit is locked in order to provide increased security when the check-out is unattended, or in between transactions. Locking may also be desirable when transferring the cash drawer unit from one operator to another or from one checkout to another.
  • the present invention provides a cash storage unit comprising a base for containing the contents of the unit, a lid for covering the contents when in a closed position, and locking means for locking the lid in the closed position, wherein the lid and/or base are deformable such that, when force is used to try to separate the lid and base when locked together, the lid and base engage to retain the lid in the closed position.
  • the lid is preferably mounted to the base by means of a hinge.
  • the engagement between the lid and base serves to interlock the lid and base, such that the lid is more strongly held in the closed position.
  • the engagement can be considered to be a positive engagement.
  • the lid and base cooperate to form a secondary locking engagement, in addition to the primary locking engagement of the locking means.
  • the lid and/or base may be elastically or plastically deformable to achieve the described engagement, i.e. the lid and/or base may deform temporarily or permanently.
  • the cash storage unit is preferably provided with engaging means, either on the lid or on the base, or on both.
  • the engaging means may comprise any suitable structure which causes the interlocking or positive engagement, such as a projection, flange, recess, plate, lip, hem, fold or the like. If the lid is hinged to the base, the engaging means may be provided on the lip of the lid (i.e. the edge which is distal from the hinge and which meets the base in the closed position) and/or on the sides of the lid. The engaging means may alternatively or in addition be provided on the corresponding portions of the base.
  • the lid is deformable so as to engage with the base when forced.
  • the lip of the lid or a region adjacent the lip of the lid, is so deformable.
  • the lid may be provided with engaging means, which in preferred embodiments is a flange or hem, preferably folded inside the lid.
  • the base is configured to be relatively rigid or undeformable, at least in comparison to the lid, so that the lid deforms in preference to the base.
  • the base is provided with engaging means with which the lid engages when deformed.
  • the base engaging means in preferred embodiments may comprise a recess, flange, projection or hem with which the lid or the lid engaging means engages under force to provide the described secondary locking cooperation.
  • Means may also be provided on the base which is designed to strengthen the base, such as a plate which is provided on the outside of the base.
  • the present invention at least in its preferred embodiments, thus provides a cash storage unit which is more secure than known cash storage units which have a simple lock.
  • a lever such as a screwdriver for example
  • the lid and/or base deforms at least in the area of the applied force to provide a point or area of secondary engagement to supplement the lock.
  • the applied force actually increases the engagement between the lid and base. In this way, a more secure cash storage unit is provided.
  • the engagement is provided automatically as the lid or base is forced in a particular direction. Therefore, the base engagement means are most appropriately placed behind the lip of the lid, effectively inside the cash storage unit, so that the most likely direction of force (inwards and upwards on the lid) will cause automatic secondary engagement.
  • additional engagement means on the base may include means to strengthen the base so that the base deforms in preference to the lid.
  • This may comprise a strengthening plate on the front of the base, or may simply require the front of the base to be made of relatively strong material.
  • the present invention provides a cash storage unit comprising a housing and a drawer for storing cash, the housing comprising a lid and a base the lid being mounted to the base via hinge means or the like and locking means for locking the lid in a closed position, the arrangement of the storage unit being such that when force is applied to the lid in a closed position, the lid positively engages with the base.
  • the means are provided on the lid or on the base or on both such that when force is applied to the lid when the lid is in a closed position the lid positively engages with the base.
  • the positive engagement occurs when force is applied to the front of the unit, more preferably at the front between the lid and the base.
  • the positive engagement means increases the security of the locked cash storage unit and makes it more difficult for an unauthorised person to gain access to the interior of the unit and the contents.
  • the positive engagement means provided at the most vulnerable part of the unit the increased security is achieved with the minimum of extra materials. This is advantageous as manufacturing costs can be kept low.
  • the lid comprises an angled lip portion fitting within the base.
  • the engagement means may comprise a flange positioned within the base, preferably substantially parallel to the front face of the unit and arranged with running clearance between the angled portion of the lid. Preferably, any force applied to the lid greater than a predetermined amount will plastically deform the lid and the lid and flange means will positively engage.
  • the flange may further comprise a protrusion angled at substantially 45° to the vertical plane.
  • the flange may be stronger than the base, preferably at least 20-100% stronger, more preferably at least 50% stronger.
  • the flange may comprise material of greater strength than the material used for the construction of the other parts of the cash storage unit such as the lid. Preferably the material is aluminium or mild steel or any other suitable material providing greater strength and rigidity than the remainder of the cash storage unit.
  • the flange may be constructed of the same material as the other parts of the cash storage unit, but be thicker than the material used in the construction other part of the base.
  • the flange deforms elastically when force is applied.
  • the positive engagement means may comprise a U shaped lip in the form of a hem on the lid and a U shaped lip in the form of a hem on the flange of the base.
  • the present invention provides a cash storage unit comprising a housing and a drawer, the housing comprising a lid and a base mounted via hinge means or the like, the drawer including a plurality of compartments for storing cash, the lid being movable by operation of the hinge means between a closed position and an open position and locking means for locking the lid in a closed position, wherein means are provided on the lid and/or on the base such that when a force greater than a predetermined force is applied in a direction to move the lid from the closed position to the open position the lid positively engages with the base.
  • the engagement means on the base is preferably formed from material, e.g. metal, which is at least twice as strong as the material of the lid.
  • the lid may be formed e.g. from 1-1.5mm thick mild steel, whereas at least parts of the base (such as the engaging means) may be formed from 3-4mm thick stainless steel.
  • the lid may optionally be provided with a flexure means.
  • a flexure hinge This may take the form of a flexure hinge, which is preferably at or near the rear of the lid, adjacent or near the operating hinge.
