Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new type of ballot box, which may be assembled and disassembled so that it can be stored easily and quickly.
  • ballot boxes are wooden boxes with a narrow slot at their upper part, so that the voter can cast his vote, while at the same time no one can gain access to its interior. These boxes are locked during voting and are opened only after completion of voting in order to count the votes.
  • the material of which the ballot boxes are made has changed over the years, thus recently ballot boxes made of Plexiglas or glass or another suitable material have been available, so that the voters may confirm that the ballot box is initially empty and no stealing occurs.
  • a plastic box or a strong bag for collecting the votes may be employed instead of the conventional ballot box.
  • the problem of the already available ballot boxes lies mainly in the fact that due to their size they require large storage areas.
  • the present invention presents a ballot box made of Plexiglas or other suitable material, which is assembled from the various constituting parts easily and is ideal for storage in a limited area. Furthermore, due to its different constituting parts, a replacement of a part in case of wear is easy, since the ballot box has a smaller weight compared to the conventional wooden ballot boxes.
  • the ballot box of the said invention consists of four side walls (1), figure 1 , made of, exemplarily, Plexiglas, polycarbonate, polypropylene, polystyrene, or other suitable material. Furthermore, the walls may be colorless or colored depending on the individual needs.
  • the assemblying of the walls is effected by the use of four single angles (2), figure 4 , which may be made of the same material as the walls of the ballot box, or may also be fabricated from any other suitable material.
  • the angles (2) have incisions (3), figure 5 , in which the walls (1) are fixed and held.
  • the fact that each angle is fabricated as a single part provides rigidity to the construction and assemblage, while in parallel it gives the impression that the ballot box is a single construction. On the other hand, if a part is worn or damaged it can be replaced without requiring a full replacement of the ballot box.
  • the new type of disassemblable ballot box has a cover (4), figure (1 ), which has a slot (5) for casting the votes therein.
  • the cover has at two opposite points holes (6) in which pins fit from the interior of the ballot box, so that they hold the cover (4) with the walls (1) and the angles (2).
  • the pin may be fabricated from a plastic or any other suitable material so that they fit and prevent opening of the cover. In this way, intervention or opening of the ballot box through its cover may be prevented.
  • the base of the ballot box (9) may be arranged either inside or outside of the side walls (1), as appropriate.
  • the base (9), which may also be fabricated from any suitable material, also has holes (7), similarly to the cover (4). By means of the holes, a rod (8) passes through the imaginary axis of the base (9) and is secured by two padlocks at the ends. In this way, it is ensured that access to the interior of the ballot box is possible only by the authorized representative.
  • the disassemblage is effected by following the reverse process, firstly removing the padlocks and the rod (8) so that the base (9) of the ballot box is removed. Then the pins are removed from the holes (6) of the cover (4), so that the cover is removed and then the side walls (1) and the angles (2) are removed.
  • the new type of disassamblable ballot box is cubic, however it may have any other desired and suitable shape, such as parallelepiped.
