Definitions

• the present invention relates to a receptacle for a stack of sheets in a sheet dispensing machine; consisting of a rectangular box having a face, movable around one of its sides allowing the supply of sheets of the receptacle.
• the subject of the invention is therefore a receptacle for a stack of sheets in a sheet dispensing machine, consisting of a parallelepiped box having one face, movable around one of its sides, characterized in that it comprises a linked plate on said face on the inside of the box and able to slide slightly against this face in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation of said movable face, means being provided on the plate and on said face in cooperation with an operating tool for sliding said plate, said plate comprising means cooperating with said box so as to close said movable face, a locking member in the closed position being further provided, which is provided with a member ensuring incrementation of a totalizing counter as soon as the unlocking is carried out, said unlocking being ensured by said operating tool e.
• said means of the plate cooperating with said box so as to achieve the closing of said movable face comprise a notch formed in the upper part of a lateral flange of said plate coming to cover part of a side face of the box, the axis of the ladi notch being parallel to the direction of sliding of the plate, ladi notch cooperating with a lug carried by the ladi te side face of the box.
• the movable face has a slit, said plate also a slit coinciding with the slit of the movable face when said plate is in a position allowing the opening of said face.
• the receptacle further comprises a latch independent of said means for closing said movable face ensuring the closure of the box even when the slots of the plate and of the movable face coincide.
• said lock comprises a tongue, fixed perpendicular to the upper edge of said movable face, pierced with a hole and a spring leaf fixed by one of its ends to the upper face of the box on the side inside the box and comprising on the one hand a lug which, when the lock is closed, crosses the hole of said tongue and a corresponding hole in the upper face of the box and on the other hand a push button for lowering said tongue, said push button passing through said upper face by an orifice, and protruding therefrom, when the lock is closed, sufficiently so that in the pressed position flush with the upper face of the box, said lug is released from the hole in the face upper of the box and the hole of said tongue.
• said locking member comprises a leaf spring fixed by one of its ends to said movable face and comprising at its other end a lug which, in the locked position, penetrates into an orifice of the movable face and into an orifice. of said plate.
• said means provided on the plate and on said face in cooperation with an operating tool comprise a circular opening in said plate, and, in said movable face, an opening composed of a circular part extended by a rectangular part, the operating tool comprising a spherical part extended by a cylindrical part of smaller diameter corresponding to the width of the rectangular part of the opening of said movable face, said openings being located at the level of the spring leaf carrying the lug locking.
• FIG. 1 shows in perspective a receptacle according to the invention.
• - Figure 2 shows the receptacle according to the invention in partial top view in section in the locked position.
• - Figure 3 is a partial front view in section of the receptacles according to the invention in the locked position.
• FIG. 4 is a partial side view in section of the receptacle according to the invention in the locked position.
• Figure 6 is a view similar to that of Figure 3 but in the unlocked position.
• FIG. 7 is a view similar to that of Figure 2 but in the unlocked position.
• - Figure 8 shows in partial front view in section the receptacle according to the invention ready for opening.
• FIG. 9 shows the receptacle in partial sectional view in the open position.
• the receptacle consists of a parallelepiped box 1 having a face 2 forming a cover.
• This face is movable around a lower hinge 3 and is used to supply the receptacle with banknotes and also for distribution to customers, for this purpose, the movable face 2 has a slot 4. It also has a slot 5 for the reintroduction into the receptacle of waste tickets, that is to say those which have been extracted simultaneously in multiple copies.
• the face 2 also includes a window 6 allowing the passage of the rollers of the banknote extraction mechanism during the introduction of the receptacle into its functional housing.
• the movable face 2 comprises a closing device comprising a plate 7 which can slide slightly against the movable face 2 while being guided by two pins 8 and 9 -
• This sliding plate 7 has a lateral rim 10 having at its upper part a notch 1 1 intended to cooperate, when the plate 7 is in the high position, with a lug 12 carried by a side wall 13 of the box 1 thus keeping the movable front face 2 in the closed position.
• the notch 1 1 is released from the lug 12, and the slots 4 and 5 of the movable front face 2 are coincident with similar slots of the sliding plate 7 thus allowing distributing tickets to customers. So that in this position, the front face 2 nevertheless remains closed, a lock is disposed at the upper part of the face 2.
• This lock clearly visible especially in FIGS. 3, 6 and 8, comprises a spring leaf 14 fixed by one of its ends to the upper wall 15 of the receptacle 1.
• a lug 16 fixed on the blade 14 crosses, in the locked position, a hole 17 of a tongue 18 fixed on the movable front face 2 and a hole 19 of the upper wall 15.
• a push button 20, fixed on the spring blade 14 and passing through the upper wall 15 through an orifice 21, makes it possible to actuate the latch and. to release the lug 16 from the holes 17 and 19 to open the face 2.
• a locking device prevents sliding down of the plate 7 .
• This locking device more particularly visible in FIG. 2, in the locked position, and in FIG. 7 in the unlocked position, consists of a spring leaf 22 fixed by one of its ends to the movable front face 2, and of a lug 23 penetrating, when the plate 7 is in the high position, in an orifice 24 of the plate 7 and an orifice 25 of the movable front face 2 preventing the sliding of the plate 7 relative to the face 2.
• This locking member is provided with an incrementing member with a totalizing counter 26.
• the incrementing member is constituted by a rod 27 fixed to the spring 22 and which comes to press on a lever 29 (fig. 5) of incrementing the counter 26 when the spring leaf 22 is pressed in order to unlock the sliding plate 7. Unlocking the plate 7 therefore automatically causes the counter 26 to increment.
• the sliding plate has a circular orifice 30 located at the level of the leaf spring 22 and the front face 2 an orifice consisting of a circular part 31 of the same diameter as the orifice 30, extended by a rectangular part 32 of a width less than the diameter of the circular part 31.
• a tool 33 such as that shown in fig. 2, fixed on an operating lever 34, or such as that, portable, shown in fig.
• the receptacle is then carried in its functional housing, see fig. 2, and it is pushed until the tool 33 fully penetrates into the orifices 24, 25 and the end 35 of the lever 33 is raised in order to lower the sliding plate 7 to make the slots 4 and 5 coincide of the front face 2 with those corresponding, not identified, of the plate 7 thus allowing the distribution of tickets to customers.
• the introduction of the box into its housing unlocks the plate 7 by the introduction of the tool 33 which presses on the spring 22 and increments the counter 26.
• the receptacle is closed and locked plate 7 raised and locked.
• FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 the receptacle is closed and locked, the plate 7 unlocked and lowered.
• the receptacle is ready for opening, plate 7 unlocked and lowered, face 2 unlocked.
• the front face 2 is open plate 7 unlocked and lowered.
• FIGS. 2 and 7 show that the lever 34-35 is pivotally fixed around an axis 36 on a partition 37 separating, for example, another receptacle, not shown, situated on the other side of the partition 37.
• a system with spring 38 and ball 39, allows the stability of the lever 34-35 in its two positions corresponding to the high and low position of the sliding plate 7.
