Description

Filling station for filling a security case and security case used to transport valuables

The invention relates to a cabinet-shaped filling station for filling a security case used to transport valuables, in particular banknotes, the loading station having a trunk chamber in which the security case can be received. The invention also relates to a security case for transporting valuables, in particular banknotes, from a filling station to a recipient, with a filling volume enclosed by a housing to accommodate the valuables and an alarm with a manipulation device for devaluing the valuables in the filling volume .

Safe handling is necessary for valuables such as coins, securities, precious metals and gemstones, especially banknotes. These valuables are popular targets in robberies and pose a high risk to service personnel, who can be injured or even killed in the event of an attack or detonation. Valuables are usually deposited at a station and temporarily stored in a safe. To transport the valuables, the valuables are removed from the safe and placed in a security case. The problem here is that the valuables are not protected when they are moved from the safe to the security case, in which they are also transported to a bank, for example. In addition, safes are expensive.

It is therefore the object of the invention to create a filling station and a security case which allow a simpler and more cost-effective structure and yet safe storage and safe transport of the objects of value.

The object is achieved according to the invention by the above-mentioned filling station, the filling station being lightweight and having a filling mechanism for filling the safety case, which extends from an outside of the filling station to the trunk.

Furthermore, the object is achieved by a safety case which is provided with a discharge opening and a sliding plate movable relative to the discharge opening, the sliding plate closing the discharge opening in at least one position.

The filling mechanism conveys the valuables directly into the security case, which means that there is no need for a heavy safe, as the valuables are secured by the security case instead of the safe. Some of today's security cases offer greater security than safes. Because the filling station is lightweight, the Filling station can be produced more easily and cost-effectively. Valuables can be inserted directly into the security case at the filling station, which means that the manual relocation of the valuables from the safe to the security case is no longer necessary and the staff can be further protected against attacks. In the following, further developments are listed which can be combined with one another as desired independently of one another and which are advantageous in themselves.

For example, the filling station can be free of a safe or not designed as a safe. In particular, according to an advantageous, exemplary embodiment, no safe is used in the trunk. A safe offers a high level of theft protection on the one hand due to its heavy weight and on the other hand due to walls that are difficult to penetrate, in particular steel walls. For filling stations, such as ATMs, safes of security level CEN III are usually used. These safes are usually made of single-walled or multi-walled steel and weigh from around 150 kg to around 500 kg. According to the invention, there is no need for the high installation and / or material costs that can be used with safes.

The empty weight of the filling station can weigh less than about 150 kg, preferably less than about 100 kg. Due to its light weight, the filling station can easily be attached to different locations over time, for example in business premises, in an office or also in a bank. The low weight allows the filling station to be set up flexibly, for example, in locations that are not intended for a weight of over 100 kg or 150 kg.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the filling station can have an empty weight of a maximum of about 90 kg. With such a low empty weight, the transport of the filling station can be made even easier. The filling station can be moved, for example, by means of a hand truck. This simplifies repositioning of the filling station for easier accessibility during maintenance or also removal for disposal.

The filling station can for example have a housing which can be made of a light metal and / or a light metal alloy, which reduces the weight of the filling station and the costs for the production of the filling station compared to a filling station made of solid steel. Materials containing plastic or wood can also be used to manufacture the filling station. The filling station can preferably have an anchor with which the filling station can be anchored in one place, for example on the floor or also on a wall. This can make theft of the filling station more difficult. Alternatively or additionally, the filling station can be designed to be glued to the floor or also to a wall. The filling station can, for example, at least in sections, have a material that can be bonded with an adhesive for gluing to the floor and / or a wall.

The filling station can preferably be a deposit machine, in particular a cash deposit machine. The deposit machine can be, for example, a bank machine into which customers can deposit coins and / or banknotes. Alternatively, the deposit machine can also serve as a security device in business premises, in which, for example, the daily receipts are continuously stored.

If the security case is to be designed to hold money, in particular banknotes, the security case can be a money transport case.

The filling mechanism can have a document feeder, which at least partially leads into the trunk. Thus, a direct conveyance of the valuables from the document feeder into the trunk can be guaranteed. The document feeder can for example have a banknote feeder. The bank note feeder can preferably be provided with an integrated note reader which determines the value directly upon acceptance of the bank notes and checks the bank notes for authenticity. The document feeder can also be built in several parts. For example, the document feeder can have a banknote feeder, which can be mounted on an upper housing part that is decoupled from the trunk chamber in terms of security. An output of the note reader can open into the trunk and be mounted in it, whereby the note reader can be connected to the banknote feeder in order to guarantee a closed transfer of the valuables when paying into the trunk.

For the safety decoupling of the upper housing part from the trunk, for example, a wall between the trunk and the upper housing part can be arranged, which blocks access to the trunk when the upper housing part is open. The wall can only be penetrated with feedthroughs for components that lead from the upper housing part into the trunk or from the trunk into the upper housed seteil, such as the note reader. The trunk and the upper housing part, in particular the filling mechanism, can be assigned to different security classes. Preferably, the upper housing part can have a lower security class than the trunk. This enables simple maintenance of the components mounted in the upper housing part and an at least partial exchange of the filling mechanism without the need for value service providers. The customer can thus independently replace and / or maintain the components, such as the feeder, computer, printer rollers, scanner and / or an operating unit.

The operating unit can have a touch-controlled screen or also input keys, for example in the form of a keyboard. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the upper housing part can be provided with a card reader in order to identify the person who introduces the valuables into the filling station.

The security case can preferably have a security level that roughly corresponds to the security level CEN III for safes, whereby the direct transfer of the valuables to the security case at the filling station provides an entire security level for the system that is approximately the security level CEN III for Corresponds to safes. As a result, amounts of up to 150,000 euros and more can be insured.

According to a further advantageous embodiment, a holding device for the safety case can be arranged in the trunk. The holding device can be provided with a locking mechanism to secure the safety case in the trunk. The holding device can determine the exact position of the security case in the trunk and hold the security case there, so that even in the event of external influences such as vibrations and / or impact loads, it can be ensured that the security case is held rigidly relative to the filling mechanism for receiving the valuables from the filling mechanism . The locking mechanism can preferably have an automated locking system, so that the locking mechanism locks the safety case in the holding device directly when the safety case is inserted into the holding device. Removing the security case without unlocking the locking mechanism beforehand can lead to the ignition of the manipulation device, as a result of which the valuables in the filling area are devalued and theft is no longer worthwhile.

The locking mechanism can for example have a microswitch which activates the locking mechanism when the safety case is inserted. The security case can be provided with a microswitch which, when the security case is removed, activates the alarm without first switching the microswitch and consequently ignites the manipulation device.

The holding device can be designed to identify the security case used, for example on the basis of its serial number. For this purpose, the holding device can be provided with an RFID reader, for example, which allows the serial number of the security case to be read without contact. The serial number can be designed as an RFID transponder on the security case, so that the security case can be clearly identified using the identifying code from the transponder via the RFID reader. Of course, other technologies can also be used, for example Bluetooth or bar code scanners.

According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, the holding device can be movably held in the trunk. The holding device can for example be held displaceably out of the trunk. The holding device can preferably be designed to be pivotable about an axis of rotation in order to move the holding device out of the trunk at an inclined angle. This means that the removal and insertion of the safety case can be simplified. The holding device can preferably be pivotable out of the trunk.

The holding device can for example be arranged on a pull-out plate. The pull-out plate can be pulled out of the trunk via guide rails. The pull-out plate can be constructed in two parts, a first part being held in the guide rails and a second part being connected to the first part by at least one hinge. The second part can be arranged pivotably relative to the first part via the at least one hinge. Preferably, the second part can be arranged pivotably about an axis of rotation on the hinge, perpendicular to the pull-out direction of the first part. In a non-pivoted state, the parts can be arranged parallel to one another, with the second part resting on the first part.

The holding device can be provided with a handle, whereby the handling of the Haltevor direction of the trunk is more user-friendly. The security case can in particular be designed as an IBNS security case, the manipulation device of the security case having an intelligent banknote neutralization system (IBNS). In particular, these systems make stolen documents, such as banknotes, unusable and thus worthless. The manipulation device can, for example, be provided with an adhesive which is released when the manipulation device is triggered and which bonds the documents, in particular bank notes, to one another in the filling volume. When trying to separate the documents, especially the banknotes, they tear into pieces.

As an alternative to this or in addition, the manipulation device can have ink cartridges which, when the manipulation device is triggered, color the objects of value located in the filling volume. The ink can preferably be security ink, which can be, for example, light purple, green, blue, red and / or black. In the case of banknotes in particular, the ink can flow from the corners to the center of the banknotes, so that the ink stain is immediately recognizable even after a brief check. The manipulation device can be designed in such a way that it can devalue up to 4,500 mixed bank notes in the filling volume. It can therefore be particularly advantageous if the filling volume has a capacity of around 4,500 mixed banknotes, so that it can be ensured that every banknote is canceled when the manipulation device is triggered. With this high capacity, the number of transports from the end user to a recipient can be reduced.

An alarm system with the alarm for igniting the manipulation device can have a sensor system with sensors which, if a threshold value is exceeded and / or fallen below, for example in the event of a force, for example in the event of an explosion, an extraordinary temperature, such as extreme heat and / or cold, a removal from the holding device before unlocking and / or when liquids penetrate, trigger the alarm and consequently ignite the manipulation device.

The filling mechanism can preferably be equipped with a counter which counts the number of introduced documents, in particular banknotes, so that the filling volume can be prevented from being filled beyond its capacity. The filling mechanism can be designed in such a way that it refuses to accept further objects of value when the filling volume is full. In a further advantageous embodiment, no deposit cassette is used in the filling station and / or in the security case, which arranges the objects of value in a sorted manner. The deposit cassettes can cause a jam that must be resolved by the service personnel before the filling station and / or the security case is ready for use again. The objects of value, in particular the banknotes, can preferably be arranged in the actual position in the filling volume. This results in a good mixing of the valuables in the filling volume and a static charge can be prevented.

The discharge opening of the security case can be formed on a wall of the security case that delimits the filling volume. The ejection opening can preferably be arranged on an end face of the security case, as a result of which the conveying of the valuables from the filling mechanism into the filling volume is simplified. The ejection opening can be arranged, for example, on a lid of the security case. The lid can be locked preferentially, and unlocked with a key at the recipient.

The sliding plate can be arranged on a side of the wall directed towards the filling volume and, in a single position, can have an opening which is aligned with the discharge opening. In a secured position, the sliding plate can be displaced in such a way that the ejection opening and the opening of the sliding plate are arranged offset from one another and the ejection opening is closed by the rest of the sliding plate. This can prevent the valuables from being removed via the drop opening.

The sliding plate can preferably be automatically displaced, for example with a servomotor that pushes the sliding plate ver when a state of the safety case is switched over. The sliding plate can, for example, automatically be arranged in the securing position when the safety case is removed from the trunk, in particular from the holding device, and can block the ejection opening.

The sliding plate and / or a drive for the sliding plate can be covered by a cover on the side facing the filling volume in order to protect the sliding plate and / or the drive from mechanical loads.

The safety case can preferably be switched from a storage mode, in which the safety case is locked in a holding device, into a transport mode. In the transport mode, the safety case can be from a holding device, for example in the filling station, to a further holding device can be transported. The further holding device can be arranged in a vehicle so that the security case can be transported with the vehicle to the recipient.

The transport mode can preferably be timed, for example with a time frame of about 5 minutes, the alarm of the security case triggering the manipulation device if the time frame is exceeded. If the security case is stolen during transport from the filling station to the vehicle, it can thus be ensured that the valuables are devalued within a short time. It does not make sense for the thief to keep the security case with the worthless contents and he leaves it behind. Due to the short time frame, the environment in which the security case is left can be limited. The security case can consequently be recovered more easily and exchanged, for example, at a bank or presented to an insurance company.

On the wall of the safety case, on the side facing away from the filling volume, an adapter plate spaced from the wall and placed on the wall can be arranged. The adapter plate can, for example, be formed from sheet metal and can have an opening that is aligned with the release opening of the security case. The adapter plate can provide mechanical protection for the discharge opening and prevent direct access to the discharge opening. By spacing the adapter plate away from the wall, it is possible, for example, to prevent a vacuum suction device from being attached to the ejection opening in order to suck the contents of the safety case beyond the ejection opening.

The adapter plate can be provided with at least one beveled guide tab and / or a guide groove in order to guide the insertion of the security case into the trunk. The guide can ensure that the security case and the filling mechanism are exactly aligned with one another, so that the valuables are conveyed directly from an output of the filling mechanism in a closed path into the filling volume of the security case.

In the event that the objects of value are paper documents, such as banknotes, the ejection opening can be arranged as an ejection slot. Accordingly, the opening of the sliding plate and / or the adapter plate can also be designed in the form of a slot.

A system for the secure transport of objects of value, in particular banknotes, from a filling station to a recipient can have at least one filling station according to the invention and at least one security case according to the invention. The at least one filling station can be positioned, for example, at a bank, in business premises or in offices, it being possible for the valuables to be placed in the security case via the filling station for the secure storage of the valuables. In banks in particular, cash is often deposited in the form of coins and / or bank notes. The excessive use of the filling station is accompanied by frequent maintenance of the components. Since the filling station is lightweight and therefore lightweight, the filling station can be moved more easily for on-site maintenance or transported to a maintenance station. This reduces the effort and costs for maintenance of the filling station. The security case ensures the security of the valuables, so that high insurance sums can be covered.

The release opening of the security case can be aligned with the output of the filling mechanism when inserted in the trunk, so that a safe and direct transfer of the valuables from the filling mechanism into the filling volume of the security case can take place.

The discharge opening can be directly adjacent to the dispenser, so that a closed transfer of the valuables from the filling mechanism into the security case is achieved. It can be prevented that the valuables are caught between the filling mechanism and the discharge opening.

As an alternative to this, the adapter plate can directly adjoin the output of the filling mechanism when it is inserted into the trunk. The adapter plate can close the gap between the ejection opening and the output and thus ensure that the valuables are transported in a closed manner.

When inserted into the trunk, the adapter plate can be at least partially encompassed by at least one stabilizing tab formed on the output of the filling mechanism in order to fix the relative position of the safety case for the output of the filling mechanism. Even in the event of vibration and / or shock loads, it can thus be ensured that the output and the discharge opening are aligned with one another.

In the following, the invention is described in greater detail using exemplary embodiments with reference to the accompanying figures. In the figures, elements that correspond to one another in terms of structure and / or function are provided with the same reference symbols. The combinations of features shown and described in the individual exemplary embodiments serve only for explanation. In accordance with the above statements, a feature of an exemplary embodiment can be dispensed with if its technical effect is not important in a particular application.

12 shows a schematic sectional view of the security case in a deposit position. In Fig. 1, a filling station 1 is shown schematically according to the invention. The filling station has a filling mechanism 2 for filling a security case 6 which is used to transport valuables 4 and a trunk chamber 8 in which the security case 6 can be received. For the simplified handling of the filling station 1 and an associated simpler and more cost-effective maintenance, the filling station 1 is a lightweight construction 10.

A system 3 for handling objects of value 4 comprises at least one filling station 1 and at least one security case 6 that can be inserted in the trunk 8 of the filling station 1.

The filling station 1 can for example be made of a light metal and weigh less than approximately 150 kg. In particular, the filling station can weigh less than about 100 kg, preferably the filling station 1 can weigh a maximum of about 90 kg. With such an easy filling station 1, the filling station can be easily moved by means of a hand truck, whereby the personnel required to transport the filling station 1 can be reduced. With such a light filling station 1, two people are usually sufficient to move the filling station 1. As a result, further costs can be saved.

In an advantageous embodiment, the filling station 1 can in particular not be designed as a safe or have no safe. A safe is characterized by its heavy weight of around 150 kg to around 500 kg and by walls that are difficult to penetrate, for example single or multi-walled steel walls. The security of the valuables 4 can be ensured by the security case 6, whereby a safe in the filling station 1 or a filling station 1 designed as a safe is no longer necessary. Seen figuratively, the security case 6 forms the safe.

The filling station 1 has an upper housing part 12 and a lower housing part 14. The trunk chamber 8 can be arranged in the lower housing part 14 and the filling mechanism 2 in the upper housing part 12. The housing parts 12, 14 can adjoin one another, so that the housing parts 12, 14 have a common wall 16. The wall 16 can, for example, form a cover of the lower housing part 14 and a bottom of the upper housing part 12. The filling mechanism 2 can have an extension 18 which leads through this wall 16 into the trunk 8. The filling mechanism 2 can have a document feeder 20 which is accessible from outside the upper housing part 12 and into which the valuables 4 are inserted. The objects of value 4 can be coins or banknotes 22, among other things. In the figures is a filling station 1 for bank notes 22 is shown in each case. However, it is also possible to design the filling station 1 for coins or other objects of value, such as jewelry. Consequently, the illustrated embodiment of the filling station 1 is an automated teller machine, in particular a cash deposit machine for banknotes 22. In Fig. 3, a schematic perspective view of the opened upper housing part 14 is shown. The document feeder 20 protrudes from a side wall 26 and leads into the interior of the upper housing part 14. The document feeder 20 itself can be equipped with a note reader 28 or it can be coupled to a note reader 28. With the note reader 28, the value and the number of inserted bank notes can be determined and, for example, when the capacity of the filling volume is used up, the acceptance of further bank notes can be prevented. The note reader 28 can preferably be designed to recognize counterfeit money and / or canceled bank notes and to refuse to accept them. For example, the note reader 28 can have an optical sensor that creates an image of the bank note. The optical sensor can in particular generate a hyperspectral image in which closely spaced wavelengths are recorded. As a result, the security features of bank notes in particular can be checked quickly and easily.

The extension 18 can be formed in one piece with the note reader 28 as a monolithic component and lead through the common wall 16 of the housing parts 12, 14 into the trunk 8. As an alternative to this, the extension 18 and the note reader 28 can be separable from one another, as a result of which separate maintenance of the note reader 28 is possible. The note reader 28 can, for example, be mounted in the upper housing part 12 and the extension 18 in the trunk 8. The extension 18 has an output 29 from which the valuables 4 can be conveyed into the trunk 8, in particular into the security case 6.

At least one of the components listed below can also be arranged in the upper housing part 12: a computer 30, an operating unit 32 (see FIG. 2), for example a touch screen or input keys, printer rollers 34 and / or scanner 36 for identifying the operator or to read a serial number from the safety case 6.

The upper housing part 12 and the lower housing part 14, in particular the trunk 8, can be assigned to different security classes. The upper housing part 12 with the filling mechanism 2 can be assigned to a lower security class than the lower housing part 14. Thus, the components arranged in the upper housing part 12, in particular the filling mechanism 2 can be simply serviced without the presence of a value service provider. The customer or a technician can open the upper part of the housing independently and replace the components.

In Fig. 2, a filling station 1 with opened housing parts 12, 14 is shown as an example. The lower housing part 14 has a cover flap 24 with which the trunk 8 can be closed. The cover flap 24 can for example have a lock that can be locked and / or unlocked with a key or a password. The upper housing part 12 can preferably have a security level which corresponds approximately to the security level CEN I for safes, and the lower housing part 14 can have a security level which approximately corresponds to the security level CEN II for safes.

To break open the lower housing part 14, a greater effort than the upper hous seteil 12 is necessary. Since the security of the valuables is guaranteed by the security case 6, a high insurance amount can be covered despite a relatively low security level of the filling station 1. For example, the security case 6 can have a security level which corresponds at least approximately to security class CEN III for safes, as a result of which amounts of up to 150,000 euros or even more can be insured.

A holding device 38 with a locking mechanism 40 can be arranged in the trunk 8 in order to secure the safety case 6 in the trunk 8. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the holding device 38 can be essentially box-shaped and have a handle 41 on its side facing the cover flap 24. The holding device 38 can be pulled out of the trunk 8 in order to simplify the insertion and removal of the safety case 6 from the holding device 38. For this purpose, the holding device 38 can be mounted on a pull-out plate 42. The pull-out plate 42 can be pulled out of the trunk 8 via guide rails 44. The pull-out plate 42 can be constructed in two parts, a first part 44 being held in the guide rails 44 and a second part 46 being connected to the first part 44 by at least one hinge 48. The second part 46 can be designed to be pivotable relative to the first part 44 via the at least one hinge 48. The holding device 38 can be mounted on the side of the second part 46 facing away from the first part 44 and the hinge 48 can be arranged on the end of the parts 44, 46 facing the cover flap 24, so that the holding device 38 outwards from the trunk 8 can be swiveled. The safety case 6 can be inserted into the holding device 38, the locking mechanism 40 preferably locking the safety case 6 in the holding device 38 so that the safety case 6 cannot be removed from the holding device without prior unlocking. To further reduce the weight of the filling station 1, the holding device 38 can be formed from a perforated plate.

4 shows a plan view of the holding device 38. To identify the inserted security case 6, the holding device 38 can be provided with an RFID reader 52, which allows the serial number of the security case 6 to be read without contact. The serial number can be designed as an RFID transponder on the safety case 6. So that an unambiguous identification of the security case 6 on the basis of the identifying code from the transponder via the RFID reader 52 is possible.

The locking mechanism 40 can have a mechanical lock 43 which protrudes outward from the holding device 38. The mechanical lock 43 is provided with a lock 45 located in the holding device 38. By actuating the mechanical lock 43, the lock 45 is activated, the lock 45 being moved into a position in which, when the security case 6 is inserted, it is in engagement with the security case 6 and mechanically locks the security case 6 in the holding device 38. The lock 45 can, for example, be coupled to the mechanical lock 43 by means of an adjusting bolt so as to transmit movement.

The holding device can be provided with a sensor 50, for example in the form of a microswitch, with which an inserted safety case 6 can be switched to a storage mode 66.

Even with a previous mechanical unlocking of the locking mechanism 40, the manipulation device can ignite in the storage mode 66, as a result of which the valuables 4 in the filling space are devalued and thus the incentive for theft is reduced.

Only when the safety case 6 is switched from storage mode 66 to a transport mode 68 and when the locking mechanism 40 is unlocked beforehand, the safety case 6 can be removed from the holding device 38. The safety case 6 will now be explained in more detail with the addition of FIGS. 5 to 7. The safety case 6 can have an essentially cuboid housing 54 with four side walls 56, a base 58 and a cover 60 arranged opposite the base 58. The housing 54 can enclose a filling volume 62 in which the objects of value 4 can be introduced. To devalue the objects of value 4, an alarm with a manipulation device 63 is arranged in the filling volume 62, preferably on a side of at least one wall 56 facing the filling volume 62. The manipulation device 63 can, for example, have a plurality of ink packs which burst and color the valuables 4 in the event of force, extraordinary temperatures and / or penetration of liquid.

The valuables 4, which are received by the security case 6, can be money, in particular special in the form of banknotes. In this case, the security case 6 can be a money transport case 65, in particular an IBNS security case.

The lid 60 can be arranged movably relative to the side walls 56 in order to cover or release the filling volume 62. The cover 60 can, for example, be removable and / or hinged. The lid 60 can be lockable when the filling volume 62 is covered, so that the objects of value 4 in the filling volume 62 are secured against being removed. The lid 60 can be provided with a display 64 which can reflect the state of the safety case 6. The display 64 can, for example, have at least one diode that shows the state of the safety case 6 by lighting up in a predetermined color.

The safety case 6 can preferably be switched from the storage mode 66, in which the safety case 6 is secured in a holding device 38, to the transport mode 68. In the transport mode 68, the safety case 6 can be transported from a holding device 38, for example in a transport vehicle, to a further holding device 38, such as the holding device 38 of the filling station 1 or a holding device 38 at a recipient. The recipient can be, for example, a depot in which the valuables 4 are safely stored. In order to avoid theft in the transport mode 68, the alarm with the manipulation device 63 can be timed. For example, the time window in the transport mode can be about 5 minutes before the manipulation device 63 is triggered. The timer can be automatically deactivated when switching to storage mode 66. The cover 60 is provided with an ejection opening 70 which penetrates the cover 60 and thus enables the objects of value 4 to be conveyed into the security case 6 without opening the security case 6. The ejection opening 70 can be designed as an ejection slot 72 in the case of banknotes or other documents. The ejection opening 70 can be positioned on the cover 60 in such a way that it is in alignment with the output 29 when a security case 6 is inserted into the trunk 6 (see FIG. 1).

For the sake of simplicity, FIG. 7 shows a safety case 6 and a filling mechanism 2 without the rest of the filling station 1. The filling mechanism 2 has the document feeder 20, via which the documents, in particular banknotes, are conveyed into the downstream note reader 28. The note reader 28 checks the documents for authenticity and forwards them to the trunk 6 via the extension 18. The extension 18 rests on the cover 60 so that the ejection opening 70 and the output 29 are aligned with one another and directly adjoin one another. This results in a closed path for the objects of value 4, so that they cannot be intercepted in between.

As an alternative to the direct juxtaposition of the extension 18 and the cover 60, an adapter plate 74 can be attached to the side facing away from the filling volume 62. A safe case 6 with an adapter plate 74 is shown in Figs. A schematic perspective view of the cover 60 of a security case 6 is shown in FIG. 8.

The adapter plate 74 can, for example, be formed from sheet metal and be spaced apart from the cover 60. The adapter plate 74 preferably has an opening 76 which is aligned with the ejection opening. In order to avoid slipping of the adapter plate 74 relative to the cover 60, the adapter plate 74 can be rigidly connected to the cover 60 by means of a screw connection, for example.

The adapter plate 74 can be formed from two metal sheets, a first metal sheet 76 resting on the cover 60 and a second metal sheet 78 being arranged parallel to the first metal sheet 76 and being spaced apart therefrom. The first plate 76 can have sides 80 protruding from the cover 60, which are rigidly connected to the second plate 78, for example by screw connections. Both sheets are interspersed with parallel openings that are aligned with the discharge opening.

When the safety case 6 is inserted into the trunk 8, as shown in FIG. 1, the adapter plate 74 can be at least partially encompassed by stabilizing tabs 82 which are arranged on the extension 18. As a result, the relative position of the output 29, the discharge opening 70 and the openings in the adapter plate 74 can be kept rigid. The second sheet 76 is there at the extension 18, so that a closed path for the valuables 4 is also achieved here. The adapter plate 74 also protects the ejection opening 70 from mechanical interventions, whereby the removal of the valuables 4 from the filling volume through the ejection opening 70 is made more difficult.

The adapter plate 74 can be provided with at least one guide tab 84 and / or guide groove 86, which guides the insertion of the security case 6 into the trunk 8 and ensures that the output 29 and the ejection opening 70 are aligned with each other when the security case 6 is inserted in the trunk 8 . The at least one guide tab 84 and / or the guide groove 86 can be formed on the second sheet metal 76. When inserting the Sicherheitskof fers into the trunk 8, a stop formed on the output 79 can engage in the guide groove 86 and strike the adapter plate.

9 and 10, the cover 60 of the security case 6 is shown in a perspective view, in which the side facing the filling volume 62 can be seen. A sliding plate 88 can be movably held on the cover 60 on this side. The sliding plate 88 may have four recesses 90 which serve as guides and in which bolts 92 from the cover 60 can be set. The recesses 90 can have two end positions for the bolts 92, the sliding plate 88 and the bolts 92 being designed to be displaceable relative to one another. The bolts 92 can preferably be rigidly connected to the cover 60 or even form a monolithic component with the cover 60. A servomotor 94 can be provided for moving the sliding plate 88. The servomotor 94 can have a base 96 fastened to the cover 60 and an actuator 98 which can be retracted and extended relative to the base parallel to the cover 60. The actuator 98 can be rigidly coupled to the sliding plate 88, whereby the sliding plate 88 is moved relative to the cover 60 when the actuator 98 moves.

The servomotor 94 can be connected in parallel to the switching of the safety case 6, so that the sliding plate 88 simultaneously when switching from storage mode 66 to transport mode 68 from a deposit position in which the sliding plate 88 does not cover the discharge opening 70 into a secured position in which the sliding plate 88 covers the discharge opening 70, is moved. As an alternative to this, a separate circuit can be provided for the sliding plate 88, as a result of which the sliding plate 8 can be moved independently of the circuit from the mode of the safety case 6. The sliding plate 8 can be configured, for example, in such a way that when the maximum capacity of the filling volume 62 is reached, the sliding plate 88 is moved into the safety position. To mechanically protect the sliding plate 88 and / or the servomotor 96, a cover 100 can be provided, which arranges the sliding plate 88 and / or the servomotor 96 between cover 100 and cover 60 and covers them protectively (see FIG. 10).

11 and 12 each show a simplified sectional view of a security case 6. The cover 60 can be seen with the ejection opening through which the valuables 4 can be introduced into the filling volume 62 of the security case 6.

The sliding plate 88 can be arranged on the side of the lid 60 facing the filling volume 62, wherein the sliding plate 88 can be directed parallel to the surface of the lid 60 with the discharge opening 70. The sliding plate 88 can have an opening 102 which is designed to be complementary to the discharge opening 70 and which penetrates the sliding plate 88.

In FIG. 11, the sliding plate 88 is shown in a secured position 104. In the securing position 104, the opening 102 can be offset from the ejection opening 70, so that the ejection opening 88 is covered by the sliding plate 88 and the insertion or removal of valuables 4 from the filling volume 62 via the ejection opening 70 is blocked. The sliding plate 88 can preferably be arranged in the securing position 104, at least in the transport mode 68.

At least in the case of a security case 6 inserted in the trunk 8, the sliding plate 88 can be arranged in a deposit position 106 in which the sliding plate 88 is shifted in such a way that the opening 102 and the ejection opening 70 are aligned with one another, as shown in FIG. 12 .
