Description

The utility model relates to containers for collecting donations for various needs, including for charitable organizations to carry out their statutory charitable activities. A device for collecting donations can be used when moving it in space (portable box) or without such movement (stationary box).

One of the problems when collecting money is the need to separate coins from paper notes, since banks require the mandatory separation of paper notes from coins before handing money to the bank. Sometimes, with a large filling of the device with the collected money, it takes up to several hours.

A device for collecting donations containing a housing with a bottom and side walls, as well as a lid with an entrance window for coins, a coin acceptor, a tool that prevents the return of coins when shaking and turning over or removing them through foreign objects, and at least one slotted entrance window for paper notes (see Pat. No. 53043 for a utility model, G07F 9/06, publ. 04/27/2006), adopted as a prototype. The inner space of the prototype is divided into two parts by a horizontal wall with a large central hole. The coin acceptor is made in the form of a spiral groove encircling the inner space of the device along the perimeter and guiding the coin into the specified central hole. The tool that prevents the return passage of coins when shaking and overturning or removing them through foreign objects is made in the form of a bag of crumpled material into which coins pass after passing through the previously indicated central hole. When the device is turned over, the bag under the weight of coins is crumpled and hangs to the side, blocking this central hole.

A disadvantage of the known device is the inconvenience of collection upon completion of the collection of money, caused by the need to mandatory separation of coins from paper bills before handing money to the bank.

This is due to the fact that in this device, the space for paper notes and for coins is allocated by a horizontal partition with a large central hole. The authors themselves in the description indicate that paper bills, freely falling on this horizontal partition, fall into the region of the central hole and heavier coins push them into the bag to collect coins. In the portable version, when the device is carried all day in the hands, shaking it or turning from side to side, the number of paper bills mixed with coins increases significantly.

The task of creating a utility model is to increase the convenience of the collection process at the end of the collection of money by completely eliminating the possibility of mixing paper notes with coins in the process of collecting money.

An additional objective is to further reduce the possibility of unauthorized removal of money from a sealed device.

The problem is solved in that in a device for collecting donations containing a case with a bottom and side walls, as well as a cover with an entrance window for coins, a coin acceptor, a means that prevents the return of coins when shaking and turning over or removing them through foreign objects, and at least one slit entry window for paper notes,

the coin acceptor is made in the form of a hollow body directed vertically downward with a lower outlet, the said means of preventing the return of coins is made in the form of a plate fixed at the bottom outlet of the coin acceptor, angled horizontally, while a vertical blank partition is additionally installed inside the device’s body, interlocking with the bottom, side walls and housing cover in the space between the coin acceptor and the slit-like entrance window for paper notes.

Separation of space for paper notes and for coins with a blank vertical partition eliminates any possibility of mixing paper notes with coins. But the prototype of the specified partition cannot be established due to the fact that the coin acceptor is made in the form of a spiral groove, encircling the perimeter of the internal cavity of the device. In this case, only the option of positioning the septum horizontally and below the specified spiral groove is possible. And only the execution of the coin acceptor in the form of a hollow body vertically directed downward with a lower outlet allows you to install a vertical partition in the interior of the device. And in order to prevent unauthorized removal of coins from the sealed device, a plate is fixed at the lower horizontal outlet of the coin acceptor. This makes the use of a crease bag for collecting coins unnecessary.

It is preferable if, unlike the prototype, inside the case under the slit-like entrance window for paper notes, a bill acceptor is fixed in the form of a hollow body vertically directed downward with a lower outlet. This will give the bills a certain direction when falling to the bottom of the device’s case away from the vertical partition, which to some extent contributes to the solution of the problem. In this case, it is preferable to equip the bottom entrance of the bill acceptor with a horizontally directed plate located at an angle to the horizontal. This plate will prevent bills from exiting the device when the donation device is turned over or shaken.

Further, the utility model is explained in more detail with reference to the drawings, in which:

- in FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a General view of the device for collecting donations,

- in FIG. 2 shows a side view of the device of figure 1 with a longitudinal section along aa,

- in FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a bill acceptor,

- in FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of a coin acceptor,

- in FIG. 5 shows a side view of a variant of the internal device structure,

- in FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a removable coin chamber.

The device for collecting money donations 1 has a closed case with a bottom, side walls and a lid, in which a slot 2 for lowering paper notes and an opening 3 for lowering coins are made. To the inner side of the upper cover under the slot 2 along its entire length is attached a bill acceptor body 4 with a plate 5 extending downward at an acute angle to the horizontal and blocking access to the internal space of the device 1 both from the outside and from the inside. The optimal angle of inclination of the plate 5 to the horizontal is an angle of 45 °. This angle allows the bill to pass freely into the housing of the device 1, but reliably closes the return path. Similarly, on the inside of the lid under the hole 3, a coin acceptor case 6 is attached with a plate 7 at a similar angle to the plate 5. A cloth bag 8 is put on the body 6, which is fixed to the body 6 by means of a rubber ring (not shown) covering the body. But other known fastening means can be used, for example, a metal tightening bezel, etc. The bag 8 is additionally placed in a rigid removable chamber 9, which protects the bag filled with coins and has become heavy from fluctuations that occur when the donation collector is walking with the box. Under the influence of such fluctuations, a bag filled with coins can slip off the case 6 of the coin receiver. The camera 9 is a U-shaped element, the width of the side walls 10 of which is equal to the width of the box 1, so that the camera 9 is clamped by the front and rear walls of the box 1 and fixed in the desired location, while the wall 10 is a partition separating the space for collecting paper notes from spaces for collecting coins inside the device 1.

The described design of the device for collecting money donations allows, after opening the sealed case, to remove the camera 9 with one movement and remove the bag 8 with coins with the other movement 6, which are already separated from the banknotes during the collection process, which greatly facilitates the collection process.

The described case of the device 1 does not have to be rectangular. It can take the form of a trapezoid, a domed shape, an octahedron shape, and the like. The main thing is that it should have a slot for banknotes and a hole for coins, which can be slit-like, as well as means ensuring the separation of coins from banknotes in the process of collecting donations. The bag 8 may be polyethylene or made of another easily crumpled material that can be fixed to the housing with a rubber ring.
