Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to offering boxes installed in shrines and temples, etc., and particularly to a one-touch opening/closing security offering box designed with functionality, safety, and manageability in mind.

Japanese people, who are deeply religious, almost always give away some sort of offering when they visit shrines and temples, but the present situation is that no significant improvements have been made to the offering box. For example, traditional square wooden offertory boxes do give a sense of solidity, but the offerings placed inside are susceptible to theft, and once the offerings have been placed, it takes time and effort to take them out and store them. It used to be inconvenient.

Nowadays, there is a shortage of manpower, so it is not possible to keep an eye on the offering box all the time.Therefore, measures to prevent theft by young people are especially important, and it is also important to take measures to prevent theft, such as coins, etc. It is important that it can be stored in This is especially keenly felt when the grounds of shrines and temples are vast and offertory boxes are scattered in many locations.

The present invention was created in view of the above-mentioned problems, and provides an advanced one-touch opening/closing security offering box.The purpose of this invention is to facilitate handling during storage, etc., and to provide sufficient security measures. be.

To this end, the present invention constitutes an offering box with a box and a lid that can be locked together, and an offering basket that can be moved in and out of the box.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

The one-touch opening/closing security offering box according to this invention is
The box 1, the lid 2, and the 8th box shown in FIG.
It consists of an offering basket 3 shown in the figure.

First, to explain the box 1, the box 1 is:
It is a cylindrical member made of metal and has a bottom and is dimensioned to accommodate the offering basket 3 therein, and has a drain hole 4 at the bottom as shown in FIG. Also, the second
As shown in the partially cutaway plan view of the figure, a pair of elastic push-up means 6 are attached to the inner wall of the case 1 with a locking means 5 in between, facing toward the opening 7 at the top of the case 1.

Referring to FIG. 3, which is a cross-sectional view of the elastic push-up means 6, a movable shaft 9 is fitted into a base 8 fixed to the inner wall of the box 1 so as to be movable up and down. The movable shaft body 9 is moved by a spring 11 stretched between the base body 8 and a head member 10 made of synthetic resin.
It is always urged in the direction of the opening 7. As a result, when the lower surface of the lid 2 closes the opening 7 of the box 1 and comes into contact with the head member 10, the lid 2 receives a force in the opposite direction due to the force of the spring 11, and the lid 2 is biased in the opening direction. Therefore, as will be described later, when the locking state by the locking means 5 or the like is released, the lid body 2 is forcefully opened by the elastic push-up means 6. That is, the elastic push-up means 6 is a stopper for the lid 2 and a means for forcefully opening the lid 2.

A keyhole 12 is provided through the side wall of the case 1, and a locking means 5 is provided in the inner wall following the keyhole 12. Details of this locking means 5 will be described later.

Note that a weight portion 13 may be provided at the lower part of the box 1 if necessary.

Next, the lid body 2 is made of metal like the case 1, and has a size that closes the opening 7 of the case 1, and the inner end facing the locking means 5 is inside. It is connected to the case 1 by a hinge 14 so as to be openable and closable. At approximately the center of the lid body 2, an offering hole 15 is formed as a horizontally elongated through-hole for receiving talismans, hard coins, etc., and as best shown in FIG. Next, an offering guide means 16 is provided on the lower surface of the lid body 2. This offering guide means 16 has one end connected to the lid body 2.
A pair of plate members attached to the holder, the free ends of which are inclined so as to form a tapered cross section, guide the offering money to the offering basket 3.

Also provided on the lower surface of the lid body 2 is a locking means 17 that engages with the locking means 5 of the case 1 on the opposite side from the inner hinge 14.

The locking mechanism consisting of the locking means 5 and the locking means 17 will be explained with reference to FIGS. The keyhole 12 is connected to the inner wall of the case 1 and communicated with the keyhole 12.
A lock shaft 19 with a diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the keyhole 12
is provided laterally concentrically with the keyhole 12, and one end thereof is fixed to the lock base 18 with a set screw or the like. That is, the lock shaft 19 is integral with the lock base body 18.

A movable lock member 20 is slidably fitted onto the lock shaft 19. The movable lock member 20 is
A locking hole 21 engages with a locking means 17 in its upper part.
It has a lock shaft 19 and a lock shaft 19.
Slide shafts 22 (shown in Fig. 2) are arranged in parallel with each other.
It can move toward the center and radial direction of the box 1 while being guided by. However, one end of a spring 23 centered on the lock shaft 19 is pressed against the movable lock member 20, so that the movable lock member 20 is always biased in the radial direction of the case 1.

The inner diameter of the keyhole 12 is the same as that of the lock shaft 1 as described above.
A key 25 having a tip cylindrical portion 24 which is slightly larger than the outside diameter of the key 9 and which fits into this small gap is shown in FIG. Note that 26 indicates an air vent hole.

To explain the locking means 17, the locking member 27 that enters the locking hole 21 of the movable locking member 20 is as follows.
It is integrally held by a support member 28, and the support member 28 is connected to the lower surface of the lid body 2 with a screw or the like. In order to make it easier to insert the tip of the locking member 27 into the lock hole 21, a single taper or notch is provided, and the lock hole 21 is also designed in the same way.

When attempting to close the lid 2, simply push down the top surface of the lid 2, and the lower end of the locking member 27 having a slope or notch contacts the notch or slope of the movable locking member 20, and the spring 23 The movable locking member 20 is pushed toward the center of the box 1 against the force of. Then, when the locking member 27 is fitted into the lock hole 21 of the movable lock member 20, the force of the spring 23 locks the movable lock member 2.
0 advances in the outer diameter direction. This maintains the locked state. It should be noted that in this locked state, that is, in the closed state of the lid 2, the elastic push-up means 6 biases the lid 2 in the opening direction as described above.

To release the locked state, the tip cylindrical portion 24 of the key 25 shown in FIG. Then, the movable locking member 20 moves backward despite the force of the spring 23, and the locking member 27 comes off from the locking hole 21. Then, as described above, since the lid body 2 is urged by the elastic push-up means 6, it opens forcefully.

The offering box 3, as shown in FIG. It has a size that allows it to be inserted without being obstructed by a mechanism, etc., and accepts the offering money guided through the offering guide means 16. Then, when the offertory is full or when making periodic deposits, it can be easily taken out and transported.

As can be understood from the above description, the one-touch opening/closing security offering box according to the present invention is completely locked, and once it is locked, the offering money placed inside is completely protected, so there is no risk of theft. In addition, you can deposit money by simply opening and closing the lid with a single touch using an extremely simple key and taking out the portable offering basket inside. It is extremely useful as a saisen box. Also, when the box is installed outdoors, even if rainwater enters the box 1 through the offering hole in the lid,
To prevent sacrificial coins housed in an offering basket from being soaked with water by draining rainwater out of the box through a drain hole to prevent water from accumulating inside the box.
