Definitions
- the invention relates to a container for receiving notes, comprising a housing part having at least one opening in which the notes of value can be received, and a lid for closing this opening.
- the cover comprises a closure element that can be moved in at least one unlocking direction, wherein the closure element engages in a locked state with an engagement region of the housing part that is complementary to the closure element, so that the cover is firmly connected to the housing part.
- the closure element is movable for locking in the unlocking in an unlocked state, so that the lid can be opened.
- the invention relates to a method for closing a container comprising a housing part and a lid for receiving notes of value.
- the container is a cash box which is used in ATMs, automatic POS systems and / or automatic cash safes.
- cash cassettes are used for receiving banknotes and for transporting the banknotes between the ATMs, automatic POS systems, automatic cash safes and / or so-called cash centers at value-transporting companies or central banks.
- Known cash boxes comprise a lid that can be detached from the cash box, so that employees of the cash center can easily receive the bank notes received in the cash box and / or can easily fill the cashbox with banknotes.
- the lid is connected to the cash box via a shutter mechanism, the shutter mechanism comprising at least one shutter member which is held in a locked position by means of a tension spring.
- the closure element To unlock the closure element is moved against the force of the tension spring by the manual operation of a button by an operator, so that the closure element is no longer in engagement with a housing part of the cashbox and the lid can be removed or opened.
- This springs are used, the spring constant has a relatively small value, so that the cassette can be easily opened by the operator.
- the disadvantage of this is that the cassette lid can jump open accidentally when a force is exerted on the cassette, for example, when the cassette is accidentally dropped, because by the closure element due to its inertia and its momentum upon impact from the locked state against the due low spring constant low force of the tension spring is moved to the unlocked state.
- a coin cassette which comprises a housing and a lid for closing an opening of the housing. Furthermore, a locking unit is provided for locking the lid.
- the cashbox has a securing element which can be actuated via an electromagnet, wherein the locking unit is movable only in a predetermined position of the cashbox.
- a securing element rotatably mounted about a rotation axis, which is arranged in a horizontal, first position of the container in such a way that the closure element is movable into the unlocked state for unlocking in the unlatching direction and in a second position of the container due to its gravitational force the first position of the container is rotated relative to the housing part is that a securing portion of the securing element prevents movement of the closure element from the locked state to the unlocked state, it is achieved that the closure element in a jerky loading of the container, in particular when falling down the container, due to its momentum and its inertia not in unlocking is moved to the unlocked state.
- the container is inclined in the second position relative to the first position by at least a minimum inclination angle.
- the first position is in particular the position in which the notes of value are supplied to the container. When the container falls down, it is inclined relative to the first position, in particular by an angle of approximately 90 °. In the second position, the container is in particular inclined in such a way that the front end of the container, viewed in the unlocking direction, points downwards in the direction of the ground.
- the housing part and the securing element are in particular arranged relative to one another in such a way that the securing area of the securing element projects in the unlocking direction is arranged in the locked state closure element.
- the securing area mechanically prevents a displacement of the closure element in the unlocked state.
- the securing element is in this case preferably arranged such that the closure element, although a little in the unlocking direction is movable, but not so far that the closure element is movable from the locked to the unlocked state.
- the securing region of the securing element can be arranged flush in front of the closure element when the container is arranged in the second position, so that the closure element is not movable in the unlocking direction.
- the securing element is in particular rotatably attached to the housing part about the axis of rotation. If the container and thus also the housing part are rotated about an axis running parallel to the axis of rotation of the securing element, the securing element retains its absolute orientation due to the rotatable mounting and its gravity, so that the orientation of the housing part and the securing element changes relative to one another. This ensures that the securing element and the housing part are automatically arranged at an inclination of the container at least by the minimum inclination angle to each other such that the securing element prevents movement of the closure element from the locked to the unlocked state. A movement of the fuse element by an actuator and / or a manual movement of the fuse element are not required.
- the container is preferably a cash box, in particular banknotes can be received as notes of value.
- the first position is preferably the position of the cashbox that has the cashbox when it is inserted in an ATM, in an automatic checkout system or in an automatic cashbox.
- the cashbox has a handle for carrying the cashbox, wherein the cashbox is inclined to carry at this handle by at least the minimum inclination angle.
- the container is preferably inclined at an inclination about the minimum inclination angle such that the end located in the unlocking direction of the container is inclined downwards. If such a container, which is inclined at least by the minimum inclination angle, experiences an impact-like load, then the closure element is held in the locked state on the basis of the securing element pivoted in front of the closure element in the unlocking direction.
- a housing bottom formed from a region of the housing part of the container is arranged horizontally in the first position and if the securing element prevents the closure element from moving from the locked state to the unlocked state as soon as the container is at least 15 ° from the first Position is inclined. This ensures that the securing element already at a low inclination of the container is so arranged that the closure element is not movable from the locked to the unlocked state, so that even with a slight inclination of the container at a shock load of the container, the closure element can not lose engagement with the engagement portion of the housing part.
- the securing element due to its gravity and the rotatable mounting from a position in which it prevents a movement of the closure element from the locked to the unlocked state, automatically relative to the housing part again to a position in which the closure element from the locked state to the unlocked state, rotates when the container, after being inclined at least by the minimum inclination angle, is returned to a position where it is not inclined or inclined by an angle smaller than the minimum inclination angle.
- the securing element has in particular the shape of a hook having two limbs. A first end portion of the first leg is connected to a first end portion of the second leg. The axis of rotation extends through a first end region opposite the second end portion of the first leg.
- the securing element is in particular shaped such that the center of gravity of the securing element is located within the first leg and as close as possible to the second leg facing surface of the first leg is arranged.
- the distance of the center of gravity of the securing element to the second leg facing surface of the first leg is preferably less than the distance of the center of gravity to the second leg facing away from the surface of the first leg.
- a corresponding position of the center of gravity is in particular achieved in that the second leg has a recess for weight saving.
- the securing region is in particular formed by a second end region of the second limb opposite the first end region of the second limb. Due to the above-described arrangement of the center of gravity ensures that the securing element is pivoted so even at a low minimum inclination angle relative to the housing part, that the securing element prevents movement of the closure element from the locked to the unlocked state. Thus, the fuse element does not have to be moved by an actuator and / or a manual intervention in the position in which the securing element prevents movement of the closure element from the locked to the unlocked state, as this is done automatically by the gravity of the fuse element. Thus, in contrast to a manual movement of a securing element, the movement of the securing element into the position preventing a movement of the closure element from the locked to the unlocked state can not be forgotten.
- the securing region of the securing element has a protrusion, preferably a nose, on.
- the closure member has a complementary recess to this survey, wherein the recess and the projections are arranged such that they at least then engage each other when the container is inclined at least by the minimum inclination angle, so that the securing element is rotated such that it is Moving the closure element prevents the locked from unlocked in the unlocked state, and when a directed counter to the unlocking shock on the container acts. This impact causes the closure element to be moved in the unlatching direction by its momentum and its mass inertia.
- the securing element Before the impact acts on the container, the securing element is indeed arranged such that the closure element can not be brought into the unlocked state, but the elevation and the recess are not yet engaged. Only by the action of the shock, the closure element is moved so far in unlocking that the survey and the recess are engaged. This ensures that the securing element is not rotated due to the shock again relative to the housing part such that the closure element is movable in the unlocked state.
- the closure element for example, by a tension spring again moves against the Entriegelungsraum so that the survey and the recess are no longer engaged.
- the securing element is again movable relative to the closure element, so that the closure element from the locked to the unlocked state is movable when the container is inclined by an angle smaller than the minimum inclination angle.
- closure element is held in the locked state by means of an elastic element, preferably a tension spring. This ensures that the closure element in a simple manner, in particular by the manual operation of a button, from the locked to the unlocked state is movable.
- the closure element is a first closure element.
- the lid comprises a latch slide having the first closure element, a second, a third and a fourth closure element.
- the closure elements are preferably each L-shaped.
- the closure elements are in the locked state in each case with an engagement portion of the housing in engagement.
- the lid is secured more securely to the housing part than when using only one closure element.
- the bolt slide in particular an actuating element, by the manual operation of the bolt slide is movable in unlocking so that the closure elements are no longer engaged with the housing part.
- the container may comprise a further securing element which controls the movement of the second closure element from locked in the unlocked state prevented when the container is located in the second position.
- a plurality of further securing element may comprise, each securing element respectively preventing the movement of a closure element from the locked to the unlocked state when the container is arranged in the second position.
- Another aspect of the invention relates to a method for closing a container comprising a housing part and a lid for receiving banknotes.
- a closure element of the lid for locking the container with a complementary formed to the closure element engaging portion of the housing is engaged, so that the lid is firmly connected in this locked state with the housing part.
- For unlocking the closure element is moved in an unlocking in an unlocked state, so that the lid can be opened.
- a securing element rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation and arranged in a horizontal, first position of the container such that the closure element is movable from the locked to the unlocked state is rotated by its gravity relative to the housing part, so that by a securing region of the securing element Moving the closure element is prevented from the locked state to the unlocked state, when the container is inclined relative to the first position by at least a minimum inclination angle.

By the tapered ends is achieved that the closure elements 34 to 42 move when closing the lid 14 due to the contact to the housing part 12 against the spring force of the tension spring 26 in the unlocking direction P1 until they engage in the engaging portions 48 to 56.
- closure elements 34 to 42 are formed in particular identical. In alternative embodiments of the invention, the closure elements 34 to 42 may also be designed differently. Likewise, the closure elements 34 to 42 also have a shape deviating from the L-shape.
- the latch slide 24 may also comprise less than six closure elements 34 to 44 or more than six closure elements 34 to 44.
- the cash box 10 may also comprise two or more securing elements 58. The securing elements 58 are then arranged such that by a securing element 58 is in each case a movement of a closure element 34 to 42 prevented from the locked to the unlocked state, when the cashbox 10 is inclined at least by the minimum inclination angle.
- the securing element 58 may also have no elevation 66.
- the closure element 34 preferably has no recess 80.
- the securing element 58 is arranged in this embodiment in particular such that when the container 10 is inclined at least by the minimum inclination angle, the first closure element 34 contacts and thus a movement of the first closure element 34th prevented in the unlocking P1 or at most a minimum movement of the first closure member 34 in unlocking P1 permits.

The cover comprises a closure element that can be moved in at least one unlocking direction, wherein the closure element engages in a locked state with an engagement region of the housing part that is complementary to the closure element, so that the cover is firmly connected to the housing part. The closure element is movable for locking in the unlocking in an unlocked state, so that the lid can be opened. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for closing a container comprising a housing part and a lid for receiving notes of value.
Bei dem Behälter handelt es sich insbesondere um eine Geldkassette, die in Geldautomaten, automatischen Kassensystemen und/oder automatischen Tresorkassen eingesetzt wird. Solche Geldkassetten dienen zur Aufnahme von Banknoten und zum Transport der Banknoten zwischen den Geldautomaten, automatischen Kassensystemen, automatischen Tresorkassen und/oder sogenannten Cash-Centern bei Werttransportunternehmen oder Zentralbanken. Bekannte Geldkassetten umfassen einen von der Geldkassette abnehmbaren bzw. aufklappbaren Deckel, so dass Bedienstete des Cash-Centers die in der Geldkassette aufgenommenen Banknoten auf einfache Weise entnehmen können und/oder die Geldkassette auf einfache Weise mit Banknoten befüllen können. Der Deckel ist über einen Verschlussmechanismus mit der Geldkassette verbunden, wobei der Verschlussmechanismus mindestens ein Verschlusselement umfasst, das mit Hilfe einer Zugfeder in einer verriegelten Position gehalten wird. Zum Entriegeln wird das Verschlusselement entgegen der Kraft der Zugfeder durch die manuelle Betätigung einer Taste durch eine Bedienperson verschoben, so dass das Verschlusselement nicht mehr in Eingriff mit einem Gehäuseteil der Geldkassette steht und der Deckel abgenommen bzw. aufgeklappt werden kann. Hierbei werden Zugfedern verwendet, deren Federkonstante einen verhältnismäßig kleinen Wert hat, damit die Kassette bequem von der Bedienperson geöffnet werden kann. Nachteilig hieran ist, dass der Kassettendeckel unbeabsichtigt aufspringen kann, wenn eine Kraft auf die Kassette ausgeübt wird, beispielsweise wenn die Kassette versehentlich fallengelassen wird, da durch das Verschlusselement auf Grund seiner Massenträgheit und seines Impulses beim Aufprall aus dem verriegelten Zustand entgegen der auf Grund der geringen Federkonstanten geringen Kraft der Zugfeder in den entriegelten Zustand bewegt wird.In particular, the container is a cash box which is used in ATMs, automatic POS systems and / or automatic cash safes. Such cash cassettes are used for receiving banknotes and for transporting the banknotes between the ATMs, automatic POS systems, automatic cash safes and / or so-called cash centers at value-transporting companies or central banks. Known cash boxes comprise a lid that can be detached from the cash box, so that employees of the cash center can easily receive the bank notes received in the cash box and / or can easily fill the cashbox with banknotes. The lid is connected to the cash box via a shutter mechanism, the shutter mechanism comprising at least one shutter member which is held in a locked position by means of a tension spring. To unlock the closure element is moved against the force of the tension spring by the manual operation of a button by an operator, so that the closure element is no longer in engagement with a housing part of the cashbox and the lid can be removed or opened. This springs are used, the spring constant has a relatively small value, so that the cassette can be easily opened by the operator. The disadvantage of this is that the cassette lid can jump open accidentally when a force is exerted on the cassette, for example, when the cassette is accidentally dropped, because by the closure element due to its inertia and its momentum upon impact from the locked state against the due low spring constant low force of the tension spring is moved to the unlocked state.
Eine Möglichkeit, ein solches unbeabsichtigtes Aufspringen des Deckels bei einem Sturz der Geldkassette zu verhindern, ist es, eine Zugfeder mit einer großen Federkonstante zu verwenden. Nachteilig hieran ist, dass durch die Bedienperson zum Öffnen des Verschlussmechanismus eine große Kraft aufgebracht werden muss, wodurch die Handhabung der Geldkassette erschwert wird.One way to prevent such an accidental cracking of the lid in a fall of the cashbox is to use a tension spring with a large spring constant. The disadvantage of this is that a large force must be applied by the operator to open the shutter mechanism, whereby the handling of the cash box is difficult.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Behälter zur Aufnahme von Wertscheinen und ein Verfahren zum Verschließen eines ein Gehäuseteil und einen Deckel umfassenden Behälters zur Aufnahme von Wertscheinen anzugeben, bei denen ein Gehäuseteil und ein Deckel auf einfache Weise derart miteinander verriegelbar sind, dass der Behälter auch bei einer stoßartigen Belastung verschlossen bleibt.It is an object of the invention to provide a container for holding notes and a method for closing a housing part and a lid comprehensive container for Specify recording of notes in which a housing part and a lid in a simple manner are locked together so that the container remains closed even with a jerky load.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 und durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen verfahrensanspruchs 14 gelöst vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Patentansprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by a device having the features of
Durch das Vorsehen eines um eine Drehachse drehbar gelagerten Sicherungselements, das in einer waagerechten, ersten Position des Behälters derart angeordnet ist, dass das Verschlusselement zum Entriegeln in Entriegelungsrichtung in den entriegelten Zustand bewegbar ist und das in einer zweiten Position des Behälters auf Grund seiner Schwerkraft gegenüber der ersten Position des Behälters derart relativ zum Gehäuseteil gedreht ist, dass ein Sicherungsbereich des Sicherungselements ein Bewegen des Verschlusselements aus dem verriegelten Zustand in den entriegelten Zustand verhindert, wird erreicht, dass das Verschlusselement bei einer stoßartigen Belastung des Behälters, insbesondere beim Hinunterfallen des Behälters, auf Grund seines Impulses und seiner Massenträgheit nicht in Entriegelungsrichtung in den entriegelten Zustand bewegt wird. Somit wird verhindert, dass sich das Verschlusselement auf Grund der stoßartigen Belastung unbeabsichtigt aus dem verriegelten Zustand löst und sich der Deckel des Behälters öffnet. Hierdurch wiederrum wird erreicht, dass die in dem Behälter aufgenommenen Wertscheine beim Hinunterfallen des Behälters nicht aus dem Behälter hinausfallen, so dass auch keine Wertscheine verloren gehen können.By providing a securing element rotatably mounted about a rotation axis, which is arranged in a horizontal, first position of the container in such a way that the closure element is movable into the unlocked state for unlocking in the unlatching direction and in a second position of the container due to its gravitational force the first position of the container is rotated relative to the housing part is that a securing portion of the securing element prevents movement of the closure element from the locked state to the unlocked state, it is achieved that the closure element in a jerky loading of the container, in particular when falling down the container, due to its momentum and its inertia not in unlocking is moved to the unlocked state. Thus, it is prevented that the closure element inadvertently released from the locked state due to the impact load and opens the lid of the container. In this way, in turn, it is achieved that the notes of value received in the container do not fall out of the container when the container falls down, so that no notes of value can also be lost.
Der Behälter ist in der zweiten Position gegenüber der ersten Position mindestens um einen Mindestneigungswinkel geneigt. Die erste Position ist insbesondere die Position, in der die Wertscheine dem Behälter zugeführt werden. Beim Herunterfallen des Behälters ist dieser gegenüber der ersten Position insbesondere um einen Winkel von etwa 90° geneigt. Der Behälter ist in der zweiten Position insbesondere derart geneigt, dass das in Entriegelungsrichtung gesehen vordere Ende des Behälters nach unten in Richtung Erdboden zeigt.The container is inclined in the second position relative to the first position by at least a minimum inclination angle. The first position is in particular the position in which the notes of value are supplied to the container. When the container falls down, it is inclined relative to the first position, in particular by an angle of approximately 90 °. In the second position, the container is in particular inclined in such a way that the front end of the container, viewed in the unlocking direction, points downwards in the direction of the ground.
Wenn der Behälter in der zweiten Position angeordnet ist, sind das Gehäuseteil und das Sicherungselement insbesondere derart relativ zueinander angeordnet, dass der Sicherungsbereich des Sicherungselements in Entriegelungsrichtung vor dem im verriegelten Zustand befindlichen Verschlusselement angeordnet ist. Durch den Sicherungsbereich wird ein Verschieben des Verschlusselementes in den entriegelten Zustand mechanisch verhindert. Das Sicherungselement ist hierbei vorzugsweise derart angeordnet, dass das Verschlusselement zwar ein wenig in Entriegelungsrichtung bewegbar ist, aber nicht soweit, dass sich das Verschlusselement von dem verriegelten in den entriegelten Zustand bewegbar ist. Alternativ kann der Sicherungsbereich des Sicherungselements bündig vor dem Verschlusselement angeordnet sein, wenn der Behälter in der zweiten Position angeordnet ist, so dass das Verschlusselement nicht in Entriegelungsrichtung bewegbar ist.When the container is arranged in the second position, the housing part and the securing element are in particular arranged relative to one another in such a way that the securing area of the securing element projects in the unlocking direction is arranged in the locked state closure element. The securing area mechanically prevents a displacement of the closure element in the unlocked state. The securing element is in this case preferably arranged such that the closure element, although a little in the unlocking direction is movable, but not so far that the closure element is movable from the locked to the unlocked state. Alternatively, the securing region of the securing element can be arranged flush in front of the closure element when the container is arranged in the second position, so that the closure element is not movable in the unlocking direction.
Das Sicherungselement ist insbesondere um die Drehachse drehbar an dem Gehäuseteil befestigt. Wird der Behälter und somit auch das Gehäuseteil um eine parallel zur Drehachse des Sicherungselements verlaufende Achse gedreht, so behält das Sicherungselement auf Grund der drehbaren Lagerung und seiner Schwerkraft seine absolute Ausrichtung bei, so dass sich die Ausrichtung des Gehäuseteils und des Sicherungselements relativ zueinander verändert. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass das Sicherungselement und das Gehäuseteil bei einer Neigung des Behälters mindestens um den Mindestneigungswinkel automatisch derart zueinander angeordnet sind, dass das Sicherungselement ein Bewegen des Verschlusselements von dem verriegelten in den entriegelten Zustand verhindert. Ein Bewegen des Sicherungselements durch eine Aktorik und/oder ein manuelles Bewegen des Sicherungselements sind nicht erforderlich.The securing element is in particular rotatably attached to the housing part about the axis of rotation. If the container and thus also the housing part are rotated about an axis running parallel to the axis of rotation of the securing element, the securing element retains its absolute orientation due to the rotatable mounting and its gravity, so that the orientation of the housing part and the securing element changes relative to one another. This ensures that the securing element and the housing part are automatically arranged at an inclination of the container at least by the minimum inclination angle to each other such that the securing element prevents movement of the closure element from the locked to the unlocked state. A movement of the fuse element by an actuator and / or a manual movement of the fuse element are not required.
Der Behälter ist vorzugsweise eine Geldkassette, in der insbesondere Banknoten als Wertscheine aufnehmbar sind. Die erste Position ist vorzugsweise die Position der Geldkassette, die die Geldkassette aufweist, wenn sie in einem Geldautomaten, in einem automatischen Kassensystem oder in einer automatischen Tresorkasse eingeschoben ist. Die Geldkassette weist einen Griff zum Tragen der Geldkassette auf, wobei die Geldkassette beim Tragen an diesem Griff um mindestens den Mindestneigungswinkel geneigt ist. Durch die Neigung der Geldkassette beim Tragen um mindestens den Mindestneigungswinkel wird sichergestellt, dass beim Tragen das Sicherungselement derart angeordnet ist, dass es ein Bewegen des Verschlusselements von dem verriegelten in den entriegelten Zustand verhindert. So wird ein unbeabsichtigtes Öffnen der Geldkassette, insbesondere wenn diese beim Tragen herunterfällt, vermieden. Der Behälter ist bei einer Neigung um den Mindestneigungswinkel vorzugsweise derart geneigt, dass das in Entriegelungsrichtung gelegene Ende des Behälters nach unten geneigt ist. Erfährt ein solcher mindestens um den Mindestneigungswinkel geneigte Behälter eine stoßartige Belastung, so wird das Verschlusselement auf Grund des in Entriegelungsrichtung gesehen vor das Verschlusselement geschwenkten Sicherungselementes in dem verriegelten Zustand gehalten.The container is preferably a cash box, in particular banknotes can be received as notes of value. The first position is preferably the position of the cashbox that has the cashbox when it is inserted in an ATM, in an automatic checkout system or in an automatic cashbox. The cashbox has a handle for carrying the cashbox, wherein the cashbox is inclined to carry at this handle by at least the minimum inclination angle. By the inclination of the cashbox when carrying at least the minimum inclination angle ensures that when wearing the fuse element is arranged such that it prevents movement of the closure element from the locked to the unlocked state. Thus, unintentional opening of the cashbox, especially if it falls while wearing, avoided. The container is preferably inclined at an inclination about the minimum inclination angle such that the end located in the unlocking direction of the container is inclined downwards. If such a container, which is inclined at least by the minimum inclination angle, experiences an impact-like load, then the closure element is held in the locked state on the basis of the securing element pivoted in front of the closure element in the unlocking direction.
Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn ein aus einem Bereich des Gehäuseteils des Behälters gebildeter Gehäuseboden in der ersten Position waagerecht angeordnet ist und wenn das Sicherungselement ein Bewegen des Verschlusselements von dem verriegelten Zustand in den entriegelten Zustand verhindert, sobald der Behälter um mindestens 15°gegenüber der ersten Position geneigt ist. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass das Sicherungselement bereits bei einer geringen Neigung des Behälters derart abgeordnet ist, dass das Verschlusselement nicht von dem verriegelten in den entriegelten Zustand bewegbar ist, so dass selbst bei einer geringen Neigung des Behälters bei einer stoßartigen Belastung des Behälters das Verschlusselement nicht den Eingriff zum Eingriffsbereich des Gehäuseteils verlieren kann.It is advantageous if a housing bottom formed from a region of the housing part of the container is arranged horizontally in the first position and if the securing element prevents the closure element from moving from the locked state to the unlocked state as soon as the container is at least 15 ° from the first Position is inclined. This ensures that the securing element already at a low inclination of the container is so arranged that the closure element is not movable from the locked to the unlocked state, so that even with a slight inclination of the container at a shock load of the container, the closure element can not lose engagement with the engagement portion of the housing part.
Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Sicherungselement auf Grund seiner Schwerkraft und der drehbaren Lagerung von einer Position, in der es ein Bewegen des Verschlusselementes von dem verriegelten in den entriegelten Zustand verhindert, automatisch relativ zum Gehäuseteil wieder derart in eine Position, in der das Verschlusselement von verriegelten Zustand in den entriegelten Zustand bewegbar ist, dreht, wenn der Behälter, nachdem er mindestens um den Mindestneigungswinkel geneigt war, wieder in eine Position verbracht wird, in der er nicht oder um einen Winkel kleiner als der Mindestneigungswinkel geneigt ist. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass der Behälter, nachdem er wieder in eine Position mit einer Neigung mit einem Winkel kleiner als der Mindestneigungswinkel, insbesondere wieder in die erste Position verbracht wurde, durch ein Bewegen des Verschlusselementes in Entriegelungsrichtung vom verriegelten in den entriegelten Zustand geöffnet werden kann.Further, it is advantageous if the securing element due to its gravity and the rotatable mounting from a position in which it prevents a movement of the closure element from the locked to the unlocked state, automatically relative to the housing part again to a position in which the closure element from the locked state to the unlocked state, rotates when the container, after being inclined at least by the minimum inclination angle, is returned to a position where it is not inclined or inclined by an angle smaller than the minimum inclination angle. This ensures that the container, after it has been returned to a position with an inclination at an angle smaller than the minimum inclination angle, in particular returned to the first position can be opened by moving the closure element in the unlocking from the locked to the unlocked state ,
Das Sicherungselement hat insbesondere die Form eines zwei Schenkel aufweisenden Hakens. Ein erster Endbereich des ersten Schenkels ist mit einem ersten Endbereich des zweiten Schenkels verbunden. Die Drehachse verläuft durch einen dem ersten Endbereich entgegensetzten zweiten Endbereich des ersten Schenkels. Das Sicherungselement ist insbesondere derart geformt, dass sich der Schwerpunkt des Sicherungselements innerhalb des ersten Schenkels befindet und möglichst nah an der dem zweiten Schenkel zugewandten Oberfläche des ersten Schenkels angeordnet ist. Der Abstand des Schwerpunkts des Sicherungselements zu der dem zweiten Schenkel zugewandten Oberfläche des ersten Schenkels ist vorzugsweise geringer als der Abstand des Schwerpunkts zu der dem zweiten Schenkel abgewandten Oberfläche des ersten Schenkels. Eine entsprechende Lage des Schwerpunkts wird insbesondere dadurch erreicht, dass der zweite Schenkel eine Aussparung zur Gewichtseinsparung aufweist. Der Sicherungsbereich ist insbesondere durch einen dem ersten Endbereich des zweiten Schenkels entgegensetzten zweiten Endbereich des zweiten Schenkels ausgebildet. Durch die zuvor beschriebene Anordnung des Schwerpunktes wird erreicht, dass das Sicherungselement schon bei einem geringen Mindestneigungswinkel derart relativ zum Gehäuseteil verschwenkt ist, dass das Sicherungselement ein Bewegen des Verschlusselements vom verriegelten in den entriegelten Zustand verhindert. Somit muss das Sicherungselementes nicht durch eine Aktorik und/oder einen manuellen Eingriff in diejenige Position, in der das Sicherungselement ein Bewegen des Verschlusselementes vom verriegelten in den entriegelten Zustand verhindert, verbracht werden, da dies automatisch durch die Schwerkraft des Sicherungselementes erfolgt. Somit kann im Gegensatz zu einer manuellen Bewegung eines Sicherungselements das Bewegen des Sicherungselements in die ein Bewegen des Verschlusselements vom verriegelten in den entriegelten Zustand verhindernde Position nicht vergessen werden.The securing element has in particular the shape of a hook having two limbs. A first end portion of the first leg is connected to a first end portion of the second leg. The axis of rotation extends through a first end region opposite the second end portion of the first leg. The securing element is in particular shaped such that the center of gravity of the securing element is located within the first leg and as close as possible to the second leg facing surface of the first leg is arranged. The distance of the center of gravity of the securing element to the second leg facing surface of the first leg is preferably less than the distance of the center of gravity to the second leg facing away from the surface of the first leg. A corresponding position of the center of gravity is in particular achieved in that the second leg has a recess for weight saving. The securing region is in particular formed by a second end region of the second limb opposite the first end region of the second limb. Due to the above-described arrangement of the center of gravity ensures that the securing element is pivoted so even at a low minimum inclination angle relative to the housing part, that the securing element prevents movement of the closure element from the locked to the unlocked state. Thus, the fuse element does not have to be moved by an actuator and / or a manual intervention in the position in which the securing element prevents movement of the closure element from the locked to the unlocked state, as this is done automatically by the gravity of the fuse element. Thus, in contrast to a manual movement of a securing element, the movement of the securing element into the position preventing a movement of the closure element from the locked to the unlocked state can not be forgotten.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist der Sicherungsbereich des Sicherungselements eine Erhebung, vorzugsweise eine Nase, auf. Das Verschlusselement hat eine zu dieser Erhebung komplementäre Aussparung, wobei die Aussparung und die Erhebungen derart angeordnet sind, dass sie zumindest dann miteinander in Eingriff stehen, wenn der Behälter mindestens um den Mindestneigungswinkel geneigt ist, so dass das Sicherungselement derart verdreht ist, dass es ein Bewegen des Verschlusselementes vom verriegelten in den entriegelten Zustand verhindert, und wenn ein entgegen der Entriegelungsrichtung gerichteter Stoß auf den Behälter wirkt. Durch diesen Stoß wird bewirkt, dass das Verschlusselement durch seinen Impuls und seine Massenträgheit in Entriegelungsrichtung bewegt wird. Bevor der Stoß auf den Behälter wirkt, ist das Sicherungselement zwar derart angeordnet, dass das Verschlusselement nicht in den entriegelten Zustand verbringbar ist, aber die Erhebung und die Aussparung stehen noch nicht miteinander in Eingriff. Erst durch das Einwirken des Stoßes wird das Verschlusselement so weit in Entriegelungsrichtung bewegt, dass die Erhebung und die Aussparung miteinander in Eingriff stehen. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass das Sicherungselement nicht auf Grund des Stoßes wieder relativ zum Gehäuseteil derart verdreht wird, dass das Verschlusselement in den entriegelten Zustand bewegbar ist. Nach dem Stoß wird das Verschlusselement, beispielsweise durch eine Zugfeder wieder derart entgegen der Entriegelungsrichtung bewegt, dass die Erhebung und die Aussparung nicht mehr miteinander in Eingriff stehen. Somit ist das Sicherungselement wieder relativ zum Verschlusselement bewegbar, so dass auch das Verschlusselement vom verriegelten in den entriegelten Zustand bewegbar ist, wenn der Behälter um einen Winkel kleiner als der Mindestneigungswinkel geneigt ist.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the securing region of the securing element has a protrusion, preferably a nose, on. The closure member has a complementary recess to this survey, wherein the recess and the projections are arranged such that they at least then engage each other when the container is inclined at least by the minimum inclination angle, so that the securing element is rotated such that it is Moving the closure element prevents the locked from unlocked in the unlocked state, and when a directed counter to the unlocking shock on the container acts. This impact causes the closure element to be moved in the unlatching direction by its momentum and its mass inertia. Before the impact acts on the container, the securing element is indeed arranged such that the closure element can not be brought into the unlocked state, but the elevation and the recess are not yet engaged. Only by the action of the shock, the closure element is moved so far in unlocking that the survey and the recess are engaged. This ensures that the securing element is not rotated due to the shock again relative to the housing part such that the closure element is movable in the unlocked state. After the impact, the closure element, for example, by a tension spring again moves against the Entriegelungsrichtung so that the survey and the recess are no longer engaged. Thus, the securing element is again movable relative to the closure element, so that the closure element from the locked to the unlocked state is movable when the container is inclined by an angle smaller than the minimum inclination angle.
Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Verschlusselement mit Hilfe eines elastischen Elements, vorzugsweise einer Zugfeder, in dem verriegelten Zustand gehalten wird. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass das Verschlusselement auf einfache Weise, insbesondere durch die manuelle Betätigung einer Taste, von dem verriegelten in den entriegelten Zustand bewegbar ist.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the closure element is held in the locked state by means of an elastic element, preferably a tension spring. This ensures that the closure element in a simple manner, in particular by the manual operation of a button, from the locked to the unlocked state is movable.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das Verschlusselement ein erstes Verschlusselement. Der Deckel umfasst bei dieser Ausführungsform einen das erste Verschlusselement, ein zweites, ein drittes und ein viertes Verschlusselement aufweisenden Riegelschieber. Die Verschlusselemente sind vorzugsweise jeweils L-förmig. Die Verschlusselemente stehen in dem verriegelten Zustand jeweils mit einem Eingriffsbereich des Gehäuses in Eingriff. Durch das Vorsehen mehrerer Verschlusselemente wird der Deckel sicherer an dem Gehäuseteil befestigt als bei der Verwendung nur eines Verschlusselements. Durch das Vorsehen aller Verschlusselemente an nur einem gemeinsamen Riegelschieber, wird erreicht, dass nur dieser Riegelschieber zum Öffnen des Deckels in Entriegelungsrichtung verschoben werden muss, so dass eine einfache Handhabung des Behälters erreicht wird. Hierzu weist der Riegelschieber insbesondere ein Betätigungselement auf, durch dessen manuelle Betätigung der Riegelschieber derart in Entriegelungsrichtung bewegbar ist, dass die Verschlusselemente nicht mehr mit dem Gehäuseteil in Eingriff stehen.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the closure element is a first closure element. In this embodiment, the lid comprises a latch slide having the first closure element, a second, a third and a fourth closure element. The closure elements are preferably each L-shaped. The closure elements are in the locked state in each case with an engagement portion of the housing in engagement. By providing a plurality of closure elements, the lid is secured more securely to the housing part than when using only one closure element. By providing all closure elements on only one common latch slide, it is achieved that only this latch slide must be moved to open the lid in the unlocking, so that an easy handling of the container is achieved. For this purpose, the bolt slide in particular an actuating element, by the manual operation of the bolt slide is movable in unlocking so that the closure elements are no longer engaged with the housing part.
Ferner kann der Behälter ein weiteres Sicherungselement umfassen, das das Bewegen des zweiten Verschlusselements vom verriegelten in den entriegelten Zustand verhindert, wenn der Behälter in der zweiten Position angeordnet ist. Ebenso kann mehrere weitere Sicherungselements umfassen, wobei jedes Sicherungselement jeweils das Bewegen eines Verschlusselements vom verriegelten in den entriegelten Zustand verhindert, wenn der Behälter in der zweiten Position angeordnet ist. Durch die Verwendung mehrerer Sicherungselemente wird der Schutz vor einem unbeabsichtigten Öffnen des Deckels bei einer stoßartigen Belastung des Behälters erhöht.Furthermore, the container may comprise a further securing element which controls the movement of the second closure element from locked in the unlocked state prevented when the container is located in the second position. Likewise, a plurality of further securing element may comprise, each securing element respectively preventing the movement of a closure element from the locked to the unlocked state when the container is arranged in the second position. By using a plurality of security elements, the protection against inadvertent opening of the lid is increased in the event of an impact load on the container.
Ein weiterer Aspekt der Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Verschließen eines ein Gehäuseteil und einen Deckel umfassenden Behälters zur Aufnahme von Wertscheinen. Bei dem Verfahren wird ein Verschlusselement des Deckels zum Verriegeln des Behälters mit einem komplementär zum Verschlusselement ausgebildeten Eingriffsbereich des Gehäuses in Eingriff gebracht, so dass der Deckel in diesem verriegelten Zustand fest mit dem Gehäuseteil verbunden ist. Zum Entriegeln wird das Verschlusselement in eine Entriegelungsrichtung in einen entriegelten Zustand bewegt, so dass der Deckel geöffnet werden kann. Ein um eine Drehachse drehbar gelagertes Sicherungselement, das in einer waagerechten, ersten Position des Behälters derart angeordnet ist, dass das Verschlusselement vom verriegelten in den entriegelten Zustand bewegbar ist, wird durch seine Schwerkraft relativ zum Gehäuseteil gedreht, so dass durch einen Sicherungsbereich des Sicherungselements ein Bewegen des Verschlusselementes aus dem verriegelten Zustand in den entriegelten Zustand verhindert wird, wenn der Behälter gegenüber der ersten Position mindestens um einen Mindestneigungswinkel geneigt wird.Another aspect of the invention relates to a method for closing a container comprising a housing part and a lid for receiving banknotes. In the method, a closure element of the lid for locking the container with a complementary formed to the closure element engaging portion of the housing is engaged, so that the lid is firmly connected in this locked state with the housing part. For unlocking the closure element is moved in an unlocking in an unlocked state, so that the lid can be opened. A securing element rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation and arranged in a horizontal, first position of the container such that the closure element is movable from the locked to the unlocked state is rotated by its gravity relative to the housing part, so that by a securing region of the securing element Moving the closure element is prevented from the locked state to the unlocked state, when the container is inclined relative to the first position by at least a minimum inclination angle.

Ferner umfasst die Geldkassette 10 ein Sicherungselement 58, das, wie im Folgenden näher beschrieben, dazu dient, ein Bewegen des Riegelschiebers 24 von dem verriegelten in den entriegelten Zustand zu verhindern, wenn die Geldkassette 10 gegenüber der ersten Position mindestens um einen Mindestneigungswinkel geneigt ist. In
Das Sicherungselement 58 ist in etwa hakenförmig ausgebildet und umfasst einen ersten Schenkel 60 und einen zweiten Schenkel 62. Ein erster Endbereich des ersten Schenkels 60 ist mit einem ersten Endbereich des zweiten Schenkels 62 verbunden. Der erste Schenkel 60 und der zweite Schenkel 62 sind insbesondere einstückig ausgebildet.The securing

Bei Geldkassetten, bei denen kein Sicherungselement 58 vorgesehen ist, kann es dazu kommen, dass der Riegelschieber 24 durch die stoßartige Belastung soweit in Entriegelungsrichtung P1 bewegt wird, dass die Verschlusselemente 34 bis 44 nicht mehr mit den Eingriffsbereichen 48 bis 56 in Eingriff stehen und der Riegelschieber 24 somit durch den Aufprall auf dem Boden 82, trotz der der Entriegelungsrichtung P1 entgegengerichteten Federkraft der Zugfeder 26, von dem verriegelten in den entriegelten Zustand bewegt wird, so dass der Deckel 14 beim Aufprall der Geldkassette 10 auf dem Boden 82 aufspringen kann.In cash cassettes, in which no securing
Durch das erfindungsgemäße Sicherungselement 58 wird ein Verschieben des Riegelschiebers 24 auf Grund seiner Massenträgheit und seines Impulses beim Aufprall der Geldkassette 10 auf dem Boden 82 vom verriegelten in den entriegelten Zustand verhindert, da der Sicherungsbereich 64 beim Verschieben des ersten Verschlusselements 34 durch den entsprechenden Kontakt zwischen dem Sicherungsbereich 64 und dem ersten Verschlusselement 34 ein weiteres Verschieben des ersten Verschlusselements 34 auf Grund der stoßartigen Belastung mechanisch verhindert. Somit wird ein unbeabsichtigtes Aufspringen des Deckels 14 beim Aufschlagen der Geldkassette 10 auf dem Boden 82 verhindert, so dass die in der Geldkassette 10 aufgenommenen Banknoten nicht aus der Geldkassette 10 hinausfallen können.Due to the securing
Wie bereits ausgeführt, werden der Riegelschieber 24 und somit auch das erste Verschlusselement 34 bei dem Aufprall der Geldkassette 10 auf den Boden 82 soweit in Entriegelungsrichtung P1 bewegt, bis das erste Verschlusselement 34 das Sicherungselement 58 kontaktiert. Hierbei greift die Erhebung 66 des Sicherungselements 58 in die Aussparung 80 des ersten Verschlusselements 34 ein und verhindert somit, dass das Sicherungselement 58 bei dem Aufprall der Geldkassette 10 auf dem Boden 82 derart verschwenkt wird, dass es das Bewegen des ersten Verschlusselements 34 von dem verriegelten in den entriegelten Zustand nicht mehr verhindert. Insbesondere wird durch den Eingriff zwischen der Erhebung 66 und der Aussparung 80 ein Verschwenken des Sicherungselementes 58 in Richtung des Pfeils P2 verhindert.As already stated, the
Nach dem Aufprall der Geldkassette 10 auf dem Boden 82 und somit nach Beendigung der stoßartigen Belastung 10 werden der Riegelschieber 24 und somit auch das erste Verschlusselement 34 durch die Federkraft der Zugfeder 26 wieder in den in
Das in der Entriegelungsrichtung P1 gesehen hintere Ende der Verschlusselemente 34 bis 42 ist jeweils abgeschrägt. Durch die abgeschrägten Enden wird erreicht, dass sich die Verschlusselemente 34 bis 42 beim Zuklappen des Deckels 14 auf Grund des Kontaktes zu dem Gehäuseteil 12 entgegen der Federkraft der Zugfeder 26 in Entriegelungsrichtung P1 bewegen, bis sie in die Eingriffsbereiche 48 bis 56 einrasten.The rear end of the
Die Verschlusselemente 34 bis 42 sind insbesondere identisch ausgebildet. Bei alternativen Ausführungsformen der Erfindung können die Verschlusselemente 34 bis 42 auch unterschiedlich ausgebildet sein. Ebenso können die Verschlusselemente 34 bis 42 auch eine von der L-Form abweichende Form haben.The
Bei einer alternativen Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann der Riegelschieber 24 auch weniger als sechs Verschlusselemente 34 bis 44 oder mehr als sechs Verschlusselemente 34 bis 44 umfassen. Bei einer weiteren alternativen Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann die Geldkassette 10 auch zwei oder mehr Sicherungselemente 58 umfassen. Die Sicherungselemente 58 sind dann derart angeordnet, dass durch ein Sicherungselement 58 jeweils ein Bewegen eines Verschlusselementes 34 bis 42 von dem verriegelten in den entriegelten Zustand verhindert wird, wenn die Geldkassette 10 mindestens um den Mindestneigungswinkel geneigt ist.In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the
Bei einer weiteren alternativen Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann das Sicherungselement 58 auch keine Erhebung 66 aufweisen. In diesem Fall hat das Verschlusselement 34 vorzugsweise keine Aussparung 80. Das Sicherungselement 58 ist bei dieser Ausführungsform insbesondere derart angeordnet, dass es, wenn der Behälter 10 mindestens um den Mindestneigungswinkel geneigt ist, das erste Verschlusselement 34 kontaktiert und somit eine Bewegung des ersten Verschlusselements 34 in Entriegelungsrichtung P1 verhindert bzw. höchstens eine minimalen Bewegung des ersten Verschlusselements 34 in Entriegelungsrichtung P1 zulässt.In a further alternative embodiment of the invention, the securing
