Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a cash storage box that is detachably installed in a cash handling device, such as an automatic cash depositing and dispensing device, and stores cash therein.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, automatic cash deposit/withdrawal devices have a depositing function for storing deposited cash in a cash storage box and a dispensing function for dispensing paid cash from the storage box. A device that is detachably installed for each denomination, and that loads and collects cash at the start and end of the workday for each storage box, or
As disclosed in Publication No. 56-33757, in addition to the multiple storage boxes for each denomination, a removable bulk storage box is provided, and cash is transferred from this bulk storage box to the storage for each denomination at the start of business. There is one that distributes and loads each denomination and collects all cash from each denomination storage to this bulk storage at the end of the day.

When loading cash at the start of a bank business using such a device, a teller etc. loads cash into a storage box and hands it to a transporter, who then attaches the storage box to the device. The device was operated in a manner that enabled it to operate. In the cash collection process at the end of the work day, the transporter removes the storage box from the device, counts the cash, and then hands it to the teller.

Also, when receiving and receiving storage boxes between the teller and the transporter, they mutually confirmed the number and amount of cash and wrote it down on a memo sheet, etc.

(Problem that the invention attempts to solve) Conventionally, in processing at the start and end of work, the teller and the transporter check the number and amount of cash to be exchanged with each other, and record it on a memo sheet, etc. We had to record each other's cash and manage and check cash when we handled it and when the other party handled it.
In other words, just like the teller, the transportation clerk needs to be a specific person who can be held responsible for cash management, making it impossible to utilize the clerk efficiently.

Furthermore, even if the number and amount of cash are written on a memo sheet, it is unclear whether or not the money is actually there, which puts unnecessary psychological burden on the staff managing the cash.

Furthermore, the cash collected at the end of the day was manually taken out of the cash storage box and counted either manually or by setting it on a cash counting machine, which was time-consuming and required staff to be mentally active in order to prevent counting errors. The financial burden was enormous. Moreover, since the teller and the transporter each had a key to the cash storage box, it was necessary to strictly manage the keys.

The present invention aims to solve the various problems mentioned above and to lighten the burden on cash management staff.

(Means for Solving Problems) The present invention is detachable from a cash handling device, and stores cash storage information in a cash storage box that stores cash dispensed to the cash handling device and cash collected from the cash handling device. a display means for displaying cash storage information based on stored data of the storage means; a door with a lock; and a display means provided on a surface of the lockable door on the cash storage section side, the storage means input means for an attendant to allow an attendant to rewrite stored data; and connection means for connecting the cash handling device to the cash storage box and transmitting and receiving signals between the cash storage box and the cash handling device. , and a power source for supplying power to each of the means, and can display on the display means cash storage information input from the clerk input means and input from the cash handling device via the connection means. This is how it was done.

(Function) According to the present invention, the cash storage information of the cash storage box is inputted by the input means. Furthermore, when collecting cash from the cash handling device, cash collection information is input from the cash handling device via the connection means. These input data are then stored in the storage means. On the other hand, the display means performs display based on the data stored in the storage means.
In other words, information on storing cash in the cash storage box is displayed. Further, the power source supplies power to each means so that the stored data can be retained as is even if the cash storage box is removed from the cash handling device, and the cash storage information can be displayed on the display means.

Therefore, information on the amount of cash stored in the cash storage box can be seen at a glance, eliminating the need for a staff member to count the amount of cash that was required in the past.
