Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a new cash box in which even if the mechanical lock is released, the electromagnetic lock is not released until a certain period of time has elapsed, and the opening of the door is delayed for a certain period of time.

Generally, stores are equipped with cash boxes for handling cash. Stores that are open only during the day are relatively safe, but supermarkets and other stores that are open all night may be open late at night with a small number of employees, or in extreme cases, only one employee, which can be dangerous. Highly sexual. Even if the store is threatened by a robber and the cash box is unlocked, if the door is not opened immediately, the robber will not be able to take away the cash.

In view of the above points, the present invention has developed a new cash box that does not allow the door to be opened immediately even if the mechanical lock is released with a key, and does not allow the door to be opened until a certain period of time has elapsed. This was done for the purpose of providing.

For this reason, in the present invention, a bill slot is provided in the door or the storage body, and the door includes a bar that operates in and out, an exchange plate that connects the bar so that the bar is operated in and out by operating the handle, and a handle. A locking device consisting of a bar that protrudes when operated and a lock that locks the exchange plate in the closed state is provided, and an electromagnetic lock that locks the locked state of the locking device is provided, and the electromagnetic lock has the following features:
A delay timer is connected to which a detection mechanism for detecting the unlocking of the locking device is connected, and the electromagnetic lock is unlocked after a certain period of time due to the operation of the delay timer after the locking device is released. It is characterized by

As shown in the embodiments described below, the cash box of the present invention can be used as a banknote storage in a cash box that integrates a coin storage and a banknote storage, or as a separate cash storage. A small-denomination cash box for small-denomination bills and coins that are normally taken in and taken out may be prepared separately, and this small-denomination cash box may be used for normal use.

The invention will now be explained in detail with reference to preferred embodiments shown in the drawings. In the illustrated embodiment, a storage body 1 is divided into left and right sides by a partition wall 2, and a banknote storage 4 mainly stores banknotes and has a door 3 closed at all times, and a banknote storage 4 that mainly stores coins and has a door 5 open at all times. The banknote storage 4 is constructed according to the present invention.

That is, a bill slot 7 is formed in the upper part of the door 3 so that bills can be inserted and stored through the slot 7 even when the door 3 is closed. This banknote input slot 7 is provided with an opening/closing cover 8 and is also connected to an input duct 9.

FIG. 5 shows an electromagnetic lock equipped with a locking device and a delay timer incorporated into the door 3. That is, reference numeral 11 denotes an exchange plate fixed to the shaft 13 of the operating handle 12. Three bolts 14 are connected to this exchange plate 11, and the locks 14 are operated in and out by rotating the handle 12, similar to known locking devices. It is designed to do this. A lock 15 is provided at the protruding position of the bolt 14 to lock this state.
and a lock 15 constitute a locking device 10.

In the figure, reference numeral 16 denotes an electromagnetic lock, which is constituted by an electromagnetic solenoid, and its entry/exit operating rod 17 is adapted to engage with the bolt 14 of the locking device 10 in its extended position. A delay timer 18 is connected to the electromagnetic lock 16, and a detection mechanism 19 for detecting the unlocking operation of the lock 15 is further connected to the delay timer 18. In the illustrated embodiment, this detection mechanism is constituted by a limit switch.

In addition, 20 in the figure is a power supply box, and 21 is an operation handle for the door 5 of the coin storage 6, which can be locked with a lock 22. 23 is a coin storage drawer, 24 is a shelf, and 25 is a tray. By configuring the banknote storage 4 integrally with this coin storage 6, it is convenient because even if the door 3 of the banknote storage 4 cannot be opened, small amounts of money can be stored in the coin storage and taken in and out. Even if the user is threatened by a robber, it is preferable to hand over the small amount of money in the coin locker to prevent major damage.

Normally, in the present invention cash box having the above-mentioned structure, the door 3 is closed and the locking device 10 and the electromagnetic lock 16 are kept locked. Then, the deposited banknotes are stored by opening the opening/closing cover 8 and inserting them into the warehouse through the slot 7.

Then, even if you try to release the lock 15 of the locking device 10 to open the door 3 in order to take out the banknotes inside the warehouse, the handle 12 cannot be operated because the lever 17 of the electromagnetic lock 16 locks the bar 14. , door 3
cannot be released. However, the detection mechanism 19 detects the release of the lock 15, and the delay timer 18 is thereby activated, and the set time, e.g., 5 minutes or 8 minutes, is activated.
After a period of time, such as a few minutes, the electromagnetic lock 16 is unlocked, the access lever 17 is retracted, the handle 12 can be operated, and the door 3 can be opened.

As mentioned above, in the cash box of the present invention, an electromagnetic lock is provided outside the mechanical locking device, and a delay timer and a detection mechanism for detecting the release of the locking device are connected to this electromagnetic lock. Even if released, the locking device and electromagnetic lock will not be released until a certain period of time set in the day timer has elapsed. Therefore, since the door cannot be opened until a certain period of time has elapsed, there is an advantage that the money in the cash box can be protected from robbery for a certain period of time.
