Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flap device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a flap device comprises a housing, a flap opening formed on the housing and a flap element which at least partially closes the flap opening in a closed position and can be transferred from the closed position into an open position for at least partially releasing the flap opening.
  • the flap member protrudes in the open position at least with an end portion of the housing. This is to be understood that the flap element in the open position, at least with its end portion from the outside by a user (still) is visible.
  • the flap element does not necessarily project outwardly beyond a shell of the housing. Instead, it is also conceivable that the flap element may e.g. projecting beyond a housing wall by protruding into the valve opening.
  • flap elements may be provided for aesthetic reasons that they cover the flap opening in its closed position and similar as the housing are formed so that the flap member in its closed position can not be easily distinguished from the rest of the housing.
  • the flap element is difficult to see in its closed position for a user, which may be advantageous from an aesthetic point of view.
  • this may possibly entail the disadvantage that a user does not perceive the opening of the flap element-in particular when the flap element is in a position which the user does not have directly in view. For example, if at a cash machine a flap element, via which money is to be dispensed, is at a height which the user does not have in view, the user may not readily perceive the opening of the flap element.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a flap device which makes it possible in a simple, cost-effective manner to indicate the opening of a flap element for a user.
  • At least one light element arranged on the end section of the flap element is provided, which is designed to produce a light glow at the end section of the flap element, at least in the opened position of the flap element.
  • the flap member protrudes with its end portion from the housing.
  • the flap element may protrude, for example, with its end portion towards the outside, that is, into an outer space surrounding the housing. It is also conceivable and possible, however, that the flap element protrudes with its end portion in the open position into the flap opening and thus does not protrude from the housing to the outside, but only protrudes beyond a housing wall. It is essential in this context only that the flap element is visible with its end portion in the open position.
  • one or more are at the end portion of the flap member
  • Light elements for example in the form of light-emitting diodes arranged, which appear as soon as the flap element has been transferred to its open position, and thus indicate to the user that the flap element is open. If the lighting elements shine into an area which is arranged in the field of vision of a user - at least when used by a user as intended - the user will readily perceive the light when opening the flap element and thus point out the opened flap element.
  • the flap member preferably separates in the closed position an interior of the housing from an outer space of the housing.
  • the flap element has in this case with a back to the interior.
  • One or more light elements are preferably arranged on this rear side, which has the advantage that the light elements are not visible from the outside when the hinged element is closed.
  • the flap element is at least in the region of its end portion in this case made of a translucent material, such as glass or Plexiglas, which may be painted black.
  • the light element which is preferably arranged on the rear side of the flap element, is designed to pass through the flap element, so that the at least one light element generates a light shining from the rear side of the flap element through the flap element towards the front of the flap element and is discharged from there to the outside.
  • a user who looks from the outside on the front of the flap element thus can perceive the light of the at least one light element, for example, in black painted glass preferably at least one light element in the non-energized state, so when it is not lit, is not visible from the outside , but a gleam of light when energized light element penetrates to the outside.
  • the at least one light element for example, in black painted glass preferably at least one light element in the non-energized state
  • the flap element need not necessarily be made of a translucent material. It is also conceivable and possible that one or more light elements are attached to openings in the flap element, through which a light beam can be radiated to the outside.
  • the flap member is preferably in the closed position flush with a front of the housing, so that it - especially when the flap member and the front of the housing made of a same material and / or with a the same color are provided - can not be easily distinguished from the outside in the closed position of the front of the housing.
  • the flap element is thus not readily recognizable as such in the closed position.
  • the flap element can be moved or pivoted, for example, so that in the open position, the flap element is at least partially retracted into an interior of the housing.
  • the flap element protrudes with its end portion outwardly from the interior, that at least the end portion of the flap element from the outside by a user is well visible and generated by one or more light elements at the end portion of the light in a slightly perceptible manner on the opened flap element indicates.
  • the at least one light element is energized in the open position of the flap element to produce a light at the end portion of the flap element.
  • the at least one light element is switched off and is therefore not energized, so that the at least one light element is not lit and thus is not visible from the outside.
  • a control device may be provided which controls the at least one light element and energized the at least one light element when the flap element is in the open position, the at least one light element, however, is not energized when the flap element in the closed position located.
  • the control device can cooperate, for example, with a suitable sensor device.
  • the sensor device can detect, for example, when the flap element has reached the open position when the flap element is transferred to its open position. Depending on a sensor signal, the control device can then generate a control signal that effects an energization of the at least one light element.
  • the flap device may for example be part of a terminal, for example a self-service terminal such as an ATM or the like.
  • a flap device can, for example, be issued cash in the design of the terminal as an ATM, with the flap means for dispensing cash opens and in turn closes after removal of cash by a user.
  • Fig. 1 shows in a schematic overview view of a device 1, for example, as a self-service terminal, for example as an ATM, configured and an input device 11, for example, for entering a security identifier (the so-called "PIN") and a reader 12 for reading data from a cash card or a credit card ,
  • a security identifier the so-called "PIN”
  • PIN security identifier
  • a flap device 2 which has a flap element 20.
  • the flap element 20 closes a flap opening 21 in a closed position, so that a compartment located behind the flap element 20 and enclosed by a housing 10 of the device 1 is not accessible from the outside.
  • cash can be output via the flap device 2, with the flap element 20 opening for dispensing cash so that a user can remove the cash, and then closes it again.
  • FIGs. 2 and 3A and 3B Separate representations of an embodiment of a flap device 2 are in Figs. 2 and 3A and 3B shown.
  • the flap element 20 In its closed position is the flap element 20 arranged flush with a front side 100 of the housing 10 of the device 1 and closes the housing opening 10 formed in the opening 21.
  • the flap member 20 au exteriorly designed with the same material as the front 100 of the housing 10 or it has a same color, so the flap member 20 is hardly noticeable in its closed position for a user from the outside, which may be desirable from an aesthetic point of view.
  • the flap element 20 and the housing 10 may be made on its front side 100 of a glass or Plexiglas, wherein the front side 100 and the flap member 20 may additionally be painted black.
  • the flap element 20 can be moved from its closed position (FIG. Fig. 2, 3A ) in an open position ( Fig. 3B ) and for this purpose are moved in an opening direction O. To open the flap member 20 is thereby pivoted and at the same time at least partially retracted into the flap opening 21, so that in the open position, an end portion 200 of the flap member 20 projects beyond the front side 100 of the housing 10 outwardly.
  • a plurality of light elements 22 in the form of light emitting diodes and appear when the flap member 20 is in its open position, so that a user, even if the flap member 20 is not directly in his field of view, in easily noticeable, well Visible manner to the opening of the flap member 20 is pointed.
  • the light elements 22 in the form of the light-emitting diodes are arranged on a rear side 201 of the flap element 20, which points towards an interior I of the housing 10 and faces a front side 202 of the flap element 20, and are therefore in the closed position of the flap element 20 (FIG. Fig. 4A ) from the outside, so from an outside space A outside the housing 10, not immediately visible.
  • the light elements 22 are not energized and can not be easily perceived by the flap element 20 (for example, when the flap element 20 is made of black painted glass) from the outside. If the flap element 20, however, transferred to its open position ( Fig.
  • the light elements 22 are energized and emit a light L, which penetrates through the flap element 20 and in particular shines upward, so that a user who is with his head above the flap device 2, the light leaks L without can perceive more.
  • the user is thus pointed to the opening of the flap element 20 and readily recognizes where the flap opening 21 is located so that he - access to the flap opening 21 and, for example, spent money - in the embodiment of the device 1 as an ATM can take.
  • the device 1 has, as in Fig. 4B schematically illustrates a control device 3, which controls the energization of the light elements 22.
  • the control device 3 can cooperate, for example, with a sensor device 30 which detects a transfer of the flap element 20 into its open position and emits a suitable sensor signal to the control device 3.
  • the control device 3 can then cause the light elements 22 to be energized, so that the light elements 22 for generating a light L appear in the open position of the flap element 20. If the folding element 20 is closed again, the control device 3 can bring about a switching off of the light elements 22, so that in the closed position of the folding element 20 no light L is generated and the light elements 22 are accordingly not visible from the outside ( Fig. 4A ).
  • a flap device of the type described here can be used not only in an ATM, but in any device, such as a self-service terminal such as a ticket machine, a statement printer, a general device for making a financial transaction or another terminal.
  • a self-service terminal such as a ticket machine, a statement printer, a general device for making a financial transaction or another terminal.
  • the flap device is also not limited to the specific embodiment described.
  • a flap element can also be designed in such a way that it can be moved or pivoted for opening.
