Abstract

BOX WITH LOCK DEVICE INCLUDING A BOX BODY AND A LID MOBILELY MOUNTED WITH RESPECT TO THE BODY BETWEEN A CLOSING CONDITION AND AN OPENING CONDITION. THE MECHANISM OF THE LOCK DEVICE INCLUDES A BODY OF PADLOCKS 122 LODGE INSIDE THE BOX. APPLICATION: DEPOSIT OF MONEY IN BANKING INSTITUTIONS.

Description

The invention has for obljet, a box and its device

lock.

  In order to facilitate the deposit of money into banking institutions, these are often equipped on their front with a door allowing, when it is opened with the help of the appropriate element, to introduce a box or

  analogue in a protected enclosure within the

lishment.

  The cabinets are usually closed with a padlock.

  So far, however, such enclosures with closed lid

  with a padlock have a certain amount of inconvenience

  vantages. For the installation of the padlock, it is necessary to provide a ring integral with the body of the box and a ring integral with the couveecle: these rings are necessarily protruding: This thus the cof fet: a ne I) (tiv (l tit. the ecol5; by] (,;; faice-s carrying said rings. In addition, when the padlock is put in place,

  by the introduction in the two rings of the handle that he

  takes, relative movement, albeit limited, is still

  possible between the lid and the body of the cabinet and

  the padlock is movable relative to the box, the padlock

  being, as it were, suspended by his years, e.

  The box according to the invention supersedes these disadvantages.

  It is characterized in that the mechanism of the lock device comprises a padlock body housed inside

of the box.

  The opening and closing of such a box

  as with a standard lock device and, in addition,

  There are some advantages to padlocks, especially their low cost. In one embodiment, it is a usual padlock opportunity that forms the lock device, the opening of the lock by

  introducing the key into the usual key entry, pref-

  view on the face of the padlock body opposite to that carrying the handle, allows the opening of the box .., The box being open, the padlock remains incorporated in the box, not likely to separate from it and to to be lost. It is not necessary, prior to; closing the cabinet, replace the padlock. Raising the lid relative to the body, to bring the box back into its closed condition, allows the reintroduction of the ends of the handle in the body of the padlock and thus the

  locking in.the closing condition.

  According to another embodiment, the body of the padlock has a lug or pin and the box a conjugate hole or strike and, when the box is closed, the operation of the key, the action of the spring incorporated in the body of padlock

  move the latter and pull the bolt out of its lock,

  thus putting the opening of the box.

  Advantageously, the front face of the padlock presenting the key entry is, when closed, coplanar with one face of the box, so that it does not present

  no protruding part when closed.

  The invention provides means for preventing a recessing

  padlock in his dwelling as long as the cou-

  is not returned to its closed position,

  so the need to use the padlock key for

  allow locking again.

  The box 21 has a general shape of parallelepiped

  rectangle. It comprises a casing body 22, parallelepiped

  rectangle, with two large walls 23 and 24, two

  narrower kings 25 and 26, and a bottom 27, the orifice 28 of the box-being opposite the bottom 27. On the upper part of the wall 25, or back, of the cabinet, is mounted, rotatably around a hinge 29, a cover 31 with two long walls 32 and 33 extending, when the box is closed, the large walls 23 and 24, two small walls 34 and 35 extending the walls 25 and 26 and an upper wall 36 opposite the orifice

37 of the lid.

  Of the front wall 26 of the body 22 of the cabinet, opposite that carrying the hinge 29, and of the large walls 23 and

  24 depend on the upper part a platform 38 (FIG.

  2 and 3), the walls 23 and 24 of the cabinet body are

  30 skirting over this platform by partitions 39 and 41 (Figure 4) recessed inwardly, thus providing shoulders 42 and 43. It is with these shoulders that cooperate, in closed condition, the edges 44 and 45 of the long walls 32 and 33 of the cover 31, the front edge 47 of the cover cooperating with the anterior margin 48 of

the platform 38.

  The horizontal lower edge 52 of the rear wall 34 of the lid likewise cooperates when the lid is

  closed, with a shoulder 53 that protects the posterior wall 25.

  From the platform 38 and partitions 39 and 41 depends a cut transverse partition 54, the cutout, 55, of rectangular shape, being open at its upper part and being limited by vertical edges 56 and 57 and a lower edge

horizontal 58.

  From the upper wall 36 of the cover 31 depend towards the inside of the box two longitudinal ribs 59 and 61 which form corridors 62 and 63 with the walls 32 and 33 in which are housed, when closing the lid,

the partitions 39 and 41.

  On the platform 38 is fixed a gutter-metal device 66 (FIG. 5) in the general shape of a square whose horizontal branch 68 serves for fixing, by rivets 64 and 65, on the platform 38 and whose the vertical branch 69 (FIG. 6), of triangular general shape, presents

  from its rounded top 71 an opening 72, or striker, sensi-

  halfway up the cutout 55 ..

  As a variant, the spoiler device 66 has come from

lage with the body of the box.

  From the inner face 73 of the upper wall 36 of the neck--

  vercle 31 depends, forward, a block 74 of parallelepiped general shape. This block has a recess 75 (FIG. 7), passing through, and thus opening at one end on the front face 70 of the cover 31 and at the other end the opposite face 76 of the block 74. The recess is limited by

  two opposite curved faces 77 and 78 (Figs 8 and 9)

  opposite and two vertical faces 79 and 81, the

  sure 75 can thus receive a padlock body, including

  it reproduces the form. The lower wall 82 of the crucible

  sure is limited by a face 83 substantially parallel to

the face 78.

  Another block 89 (FIG. 7) depends on the inner surface

  73 of the upper wall 36 of the lid 31. Its face. ante-

  91 is at a distance from the rear face 76 of the block 74.

  Block 89 has an imitated cavity 101 (FIG. 10),

  by a semi-cylindrical surface 102 and an upper bottom 103 o opens a threaded blind hole 104, the connection between the bottom 103 and the front face 91 being made by an inclined plane or leave 105 on the central portion of said limited bottom

by two bearing zones 106 and 107.

  On the bottom 103 is laid a flat-elastic elastic 108

  (FIG. 11) whose intericure end has a hole 109

  which is -n reulqurd chdu I rou 1o4 tut against milk the lamella is p] .a-

  at the end a tubular spacer, including the cannula.

  along the holes 104 and 109 so as to allow the introduction

  the threaded body 113 of a screw 114 to head 115. Said screw is supported by its head 115 on a metal plate 116 of contour that the general contour of the block 89 and breakthrough

  a hole 117 for the passage of the body 113 of the screw 114.

  A padlock 121 comprises a body 122 (FIGS. 12 to 15) similar to that of a usual padlock and whose shape is

  conjugated with that of the hollow or passage 75 of the block 74.

  Its front end face 123 presents the key entry 124.

  From its posterior frontal face 120 is projecting an ergot

  solid 125, circular section, or -peSe, suitable for cooperation

  with the hole 72, or handle, of the strap 69 of the bracket 66.

  The padlock 121 has the usual loop 126, generally U-shaped, with two branches 127 and 128, connected by a

  Curved bottom 129. The mechanism inside the body 122 of the cade-

  nas presents a spring 131 (Figure 13) urging at the outlet the handle 126 by its branch 127. I1 also comprises a finger 132 with beveled end 133 cooperating with a notch 134 that has the branch 128 to hold the padlock in

  its closing position, that is to say with the handle 126

  the body 122 of the padlock and in a position close to it. The opening of the padlock by the corresponding key 136 causes the erasing of the finger 132 and an output movement

  of the handle 126 under the effect of the spring 131.

  In Figures 5 and] 2, the box is shown in its closed condition.] The lid 31 is folded against the body 22 of the cabinet, the edges 44 and 45 of the walls 32 and 33 of the lid are in contact with the shoulders 42 43

  the body of the cabinet and the edges 39a and 41a of the

  ginales partitions 39 and 41 are engaged in the corridors 62 and 63 that provide the ribs 59 and 61 with the walls

32 and 33 of the lid.

  The body 122 of the padlock 121 is housed in the passage 75

  of conjugate form that the block 74 of the cover 31 has.

  The handle 126, which is integral with the body 122 of the padlock, is applied to the upper bottom 103 of the second block 89 of the cover. It is in contact by its outer face 141 with 6g 2475106 the semi-cylindrical surface 1] 02 of said block. The central portion 142 of the inner surface 143 of the loop is in contact with the outer surface 144 of the tubular spacer 111. The handle

  126 of the padlock is immobilized with respect to any movement

  whatever the direction, in relation to the cover, and so is the body of the padlock. The bolt, integral with the body 122, c (st engaged in the hole, or striker, 72 that has the bracket 66 fixed on the platform 38 secured to the body 22 of the cabinet, the cover 31 being

  thus totally immobilized with respect to the body.

  The vorrouillage of the lid in its iron condition

  in relation to the body of the cabinet is ensured in the

  best conditions. Neither the body nor the lid of the

  flt do not project. Many closed boxes can be joined to each other by any one

of their faces.

  To open the cabinet, it is sufficient to present a key 136 in front of the entry '124 that has the front face 123 of the padlock body and to operate the key. The spring 131 of the padlock, which bears against a shoulder 1 '4]' that presents the branch 127 of the handle 126, pushes the body 322 of the padlock and the ercot or bolt 125, integral with said body, is extracted from the branch 69 of the bracket 66 secured to the body of the cabinet. The

  lid 31 can then be raised and thus the cabinet or-

  of branch 69 of square 66a, upon the opening of the

  freight, resumed, under the effect of its own elasticity, its

  lamella and thus opposes the closure of the padlock. I1 is not

  therefore in no case need to reopen the padlock by

  using the key to close the cabinet again.

  For closure of the cabinet, it suffices to rotate the lid 31 by rotation around the hinge 29. When the lid 31 is comp]. When folded down, the edge 71 of the branch 69 of the bracket 66 has deflected the lamella 1.0B so that it suffices to push the padlock while exerting an action on its front face 123 so that, thanks to the support taken by the handle 126 against the cylindrical surface. 102 of block 89, the padlock resumes its closing condition, by approximation

  of the body 1.22 of the padlock in relation to its handle, c 126, in the

  the lid in its closed position.

  Reference is now made to Figure 16. In this form

  embodiment, the upper face 201 of the cover 202 pre-

  the dwelling 204 of a padlock body 204 without its handle. The bottom 205 of the housing 206 provided for the body of the padlock allows a screw 207 to pass through the screw 208 for fixing

  padlock body which has a corresponding threaded hole

  209. The channel 211. provided to receive the finger 212 of the beveled end padlock whose movement is controlled by the cVi padlock opens in a drill 213 practiced

in the body of the padlock.

  Body 215 of the cabinet has a shape 216

  on which is fixed 1) by a screw 217 a plate 218 por-

  both a pin 219 with notch 221. The condition shown on

  Figure 16 is the one corresponding to the closure of the

  freight. The lid is in its folded position and the pin 219 221 is inside the bore hole 213. It is held in this position by the action of the sliding finger 212 of the padlock. It is impossible to lift the lid,

  that is to say, to open the box because the finger212 abuts, -

against one edge of the notch 221.

  On the other hand, if, by inserting the padlock key into the input of CJI; and rotation, the padlock is opened, the finger 21.2 is eclipsed and the shield 219 can pass before the opening of the borehole 213 allowing the opening of the box by suulainc
