Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for the temporary storage and management of valuables.
  • Such machines are constituted by a supporting structure, which can be arranged directly in a shop, in an office or in a work environment, and which internally define a receptacle for accommodating a container or a bag, which contains bank notes and coins but also checks and more generally any ticket or token that can have a value.
  • the machine is provided with an electronic processor and with a logic unit that checks the amounts introduced, registers them in a database, and sends the information to an external server, thus making the information available for various types of use, ranging from purely accounting purposes to security-related purposes.
  • the valuables are deposited inside these machines and inserted in special containers; each individual deposit is digitalized and information about the amounts deposited is sent to a dedicated server.
  • the machine is opened using a security combination, and the full containers are taken out and are replaced with empty containers in order to continue the use cycle.
  • the removed containers can be easily transported to the place where they will be opened and the contents checked and verified, with foreknowledge of the amounts present in the container by virtue of the information sent by the machine.
  • the containers are sealed using various different methods depending on the type of container.
  • the seals are normally marked by a unique code, and are affixed to the containers in the locations to which they will later return in order to be opened, and the code is stored so that it can be checked when the full containers are returned.
  • the unique code is registered in the database of the electronic processor using various methods, and it will later be associated with each individual deposit.
  • the disposable bag in fact cannot be sealed in advance, but it is closed by the machine, inside it, at the moment when it is retrieved. Furthermore, in order to make full use of the logistical advantages, it is necessary to make sure that there are always new bags available proximate to the machine.
  • machines that use disposable bags require that the unique code is stamped on the outside of the bag in order to be easily read, and that such code is stored at the moment of introducing the empty bag into the machine using a scanner, a video camera or, more simply, a keypad. In each one of these cases the reading occurs outside the machine, and therefore before the bag is introduced inside.
  • bag“B” At the time of retrieval, the machine seals bag“B”, during transport bag“B” can be opened and disposed of, some of its contents could be purloined and the remaining, smaller amount can be inserted into bag“A”, the bag that was put aside and recognized by the machine, which would then be closed with a heat-sealing device similar to the one used inside the machine.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a device for the temporary storage and management of valuables which is capable of improving the known art in one or more of the above mentioned aspects.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a device for the temporary storage and management of valuables that is extremely secure and which can prevent any attempt at tampering.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a device for the temporary storage and management of valuables that is highly reliable, easy to implement and of low cost.
  • Figure 1 is a front elevation view of the device for the temporary storage and management of valuables according to the invention in the open condition;
