Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Zeitverschlußbehältnis nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a time seal container according to the preamble of claim 1.

Es ist bekannt, daß in Geldinstituten, Banken, Sparkassen und dergleichen Banknotenbestände in Tressoren oder Tressorräumen aufbewahrt werden, die mit einer elektronischen Steuerung ausgerüstet sind, die einen Zugriff auf vorbestimmte Geldmengen nur in vorbestimmten Zeitabständen ermöglicht. Dadurch soll verhindert werden, daß bei einem nicht-autorisierten Öffnen der Tressore oder Tressorräume sofort der gesamte Banknotenbestand zur Verfügung steht.It is known that in banks, banks, savings banks and the like banknote stocks are kept in tressors or vault rooms, which are equipped with an electronic control system which enables access to predetermined amounts of money only at predetermined time intervals. This is to prevent the entire banknote inventory from being immediately available if the unauthorized opening of the safes or vault rooms.

In Spielhallen, Spielkasinos und Automatensälen mit häufig wechselndem und nicht immer überwachbarem Publikumsverkehr werden gesicherte Wechselkassen für Bargeldbestände bis zu einem gewissen Höchstwert, beispielsweise DM 1 000,--, verwendet. Neben diesen gesicherten Wechselkassen müssen in diesen Etablissements Reservegeldbestände aufbewahrt werden. Für die Aufbewahrung dieser Reservegeldbestände sind die bei Bankinstituten verwendeten Einrichtungen zu aufwendig. Es besteht daher für Spielhallen, Spielkassinos und Automatensäle ein erheblicher Bedarf an sicheren und einfachen Einrichtungen zur Aufbewahrung von Reservegeldbeständen. Für derartige Einrichtungen besteht auch ein öffentliches Interesse.In gaming halls, casinos and slot machines with frequently changing and not always monitored public traffic, secure cash registers are used for cash holdings up to a certain maximum value, for example DM 1,000. In addition to these secured exchange offices, reserve funds must be kept in these establishments. The facilities used by banking institutions are too expensive to store these reserve funds. It therefore exists for arcades, casinos and Vending machine shops have a significant need for safe and simple facilities for storing reserve funds. There is also a public interest in such facilities.

Aus der DE 30 22 066 A1 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Geldbevorratung bekannt, bei der eine Mehrzahl von Fächern zur Aufnahme bestimmter Banknoten in einem Karussel angeordnet sind. Der Zugriff zu diesen Fächern erfolgt durch eine Öffnung zeitverzögert mittels einer Schiebetür. Jedes gewünschte Fach, das nur eine Banknotensorte enthält, kann angewählt und vor die Öffnung bewegt werden. Das geamte Karussel mit allen Fächern kann für Wartungs- und Befüllungszwecke wie eine Schublade aus dem Gehäuse entnommen werden.DE 30 22 066 A1 discloses a device for storing money, in which a plurality of compartments for accommodating certain banknotes are arranged in a carousel. Access to these compartments is delayed by opening them with a sliding door. Any desired compartment containing only one type of banknote can be selected and moved in front of the opening. The entire carousel with all compartments can be removed from the housing like a drawer for maintenance and filling purposes.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Behältnis zur Aufbewahrung und Sicherung von Banknotenbeständen zur Verfügung zu stellen, welches bei einfachstem Aufbau den Bedingungen genügt, die von für Sicherheitsfragen auf diesem Gebiet zuständigen Stellen und Behörden gefordert werden und bei dem mehrere Banknotensorten gleichzeitig im Zugriff sein können.The object of the present invention is to provide a container for storing and securing banknote stocks which, with the simplest structure, meets the conditions required by authorities and authorities responsible for security issues in this area and in which several types of banknotes can be accessed at the same time could be.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch eine, in einem Gehäuse verschieb- und verriegelbare Schublade, die in Schubrichtung in n-Fächer mit zugeordneten Schubfachtiefen unterteilt ist und eine zeitlich gesteuerte Auslöse- und Ausschubvorrichtung für die Schublade gelöst, mit der bei Auslösung die Schublade in einem vorgegebenen und einstellbarem Zeittakt, nacheinander, beginnend mit der ersten, um jeweils eine Schubladentiefe aus dem Gehäuse herausgeschoben wird, bis die Schublade durch Einschieben in die Verschlußstellung in dieser wieder verriegelt und die Auslösevorrichtung abgeschaltet wird. Mit Vorteil sind diese Fächer der Schublade mit Banknotenteilfächern ausgerüstet. Mit diesem Zeitverschlußbehältnis steht zur Sicherung von Banknotenbeständen eine zusätzliche Sicherheitsvorkehrung zur Verfügung. Der Zugriff zu den Banknoten ist erst nach Ablauf von Sperrzeiten möglich. Die einzelnen Fächer sind nur über Sperrzeiten nacheinander zugänglich. Bei Auslösung wird die Schublade nach Ablauf einer Sperrzeit aus dem Gehäuse soweit vorgeschoben, daß lediglich das erste Fach und damit die in diesem Fach aufgehobenen Banknoten zugänglich sind. Die Ausbildung der Auslösevorrichtung ist derart, daß nach dem Ausschieben des ersten Faches eine weitere Sperrzeit zu laufen beginnt. Erst wenn diese zweite Sperrzeit abgelaufen ist, wird die Schublade soweit ausgefahren, daß das zweite Fach zugänglich ist. Es wird ein Zeitzyklus zum Öffnen der Schublade in einem vorgegebenen Takt ausgelöst. Dieser laufende Zeitzyklus kann durch das Einschieben der Schublade abgebrochen werden, oder falls gewünscht, kann die Schublade völlig geöffnet werden. Eine Öffnung der Schublade über andere Mittel als über die Auslösevorrichtung ist nicht möglich.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a drawer which can be moved and locked in a housing, which is divided into n-compartments in the pushing direction with associated drawer depths, and a timed triggering and extending device for the drawer, with which the drawer is triggered in a predetermined manner when triggered and adjustable timing, one after the other, starting with the first one, is pushed one drawer depth out of the housing until the drawer is pushed into the closed position locked in this again and the triggering device is switched off. These compartments of the drawer are advantageously equipped with banknote compartments. This time seal container provides an additional security measure to secure banknote stocks. Access to the banknotes is only possible after blocking periods have expired. The individual subjects are only accessible one after the other during closed periods. When triggered, the drawer is pushed out of the housing to such an extent that only the first compartment and thus the banknotes stored in this compartment are accessible. The trigger device is designed in such a way that after the first compartment has been pushed out, another blocking period begins. Only when this second blocking time has expired will the drawer be extended so that the second compartment is accessible. A time cycle for opening the drawer is triggered in a predetermined cycle. This current time cycle can be interrupted by pushing in the drawer or, if desired, the drawer can be opened completely. It is not possible to open the drawer by any means other than the release device.

Für eine einfache Funktion ist die Schublade im Gehäuse in kugelgelagerten Teleskopschienen mit Vollauszug geführt.For easy operation, the drawer in the housing is guided in telescopic rails with full extension.

Ein einfacher Aufbau wird dadurch erzielt, daß die Ausschubvorrichtung der Schublade einen durch eine Zugfeder beaufschlagten Hebel aufweist, der in Antriebsverbindung mit der Schublade steht und der mit einem Dämpfer ausgerüstet ist.A simple construction is achieved in that the extension device of the drawer has a lever acted upon by a tension spring, which is in drive connection with the drawer and which is equipped with a damper.

In der Ausschubbahn der Schublade sind mit dieser zusammenwirkende Verriegelungen in Abständen voneinander, die den Schubfachtiefen der Schubladen entsprechen, angeordnet. Diese Verriegelungen sind mittels eines Zeitgebers in einem einstellbaren, vorgegebenen Zeittakt nacheinander auslösbar. Zum Öffnen der Schublade kann über einen Taster der Zeitgeber betätigt werden. Dann laufen die programmierten Zeitzyklen nacheinander ab und diese werden lediglich durch das Einschieben der Schublade unterbrochen.In the extension path of the drawer, interlocking interlocks are arranged at a distance from one another which correspond to the drawer depths of the drawers. These interlocks can be triggered one after the other by means of a timer in an adjustable, predetermined time cycle. To open the drawer, the timer can be operated using a button. The programmed time cycles then run one after the other and are only interrupted by inserting the drawer.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist die Auslöse- und Ausschubvorrichtung einen vom Zeitgeber angesteuerten Hubmagneten auf, der in mechanischer Antriebsverbindung mit Sperriegeln von Verriegelungen steht, die mit Anschlägen an der Schublade zusammenwirken. Die Schublade betätigt beim Einschieben in die Schließstellung einen Endschalter, über den die Auslösevorrichtung abgeschaltet wird. Die Auslösevorrichtung weist eine elektronische Zeitverzögerungs-Ansteuerschaltung auf, die außerhalb des Gehäuses angeordnet ist. Diese Ansteuerungsschaltung kann mit einem Taster außerhalb des Behältnisses sichtbar oder unsichtbar, je nach Erfordernis und auf Wunsch bis 50 m entfernt angeordnet werden. Es kann für eine sichtbare Anbringung eine zusätzliche Leuchtdiode vorgesehen werden, die nach Auslösung des Zeitzyklus zum Öffnen aufleuchtet und das Ablaufen des Zeitzyklus anzeigt. Die Steuerung ist so ausgebildet, daß durch ein programmiertes Zeitgebermodul die Sperrzeiten festgelegt sind. Andere Sperrzeiten, insbesondere längere als vorgeschriebene Mindestsperrzeiten, können nach Wunsch durch auswechselbare Steckmodule eingestellt werden.In a preferred embodiment, the triggering and extending device has a lifting magnet which is controlled by the timer and which is in mechanical drive connection with locking bolts of locks which engage with stops the drawer interact. The drawer actuates a limit switch when pushed into the closed position, by means of which the triggering device is switched off. The trigger device has an electronic time delay control circuit, which is arranged outside the housing. This control circuit can be placed visible or invisible with a button outside the container, depending on requirements and up to 50 m away if required. An additional light-emitting diode can be provided for visible attachment, which lights up after the time cycle has been triggered to indicate that the time cycle has expired. The controller is designed so that the blocking times are defined by a programmed timer module. Other blocking times, in particular longer than the prescribed minimum blocking times, can be set as required using exchangeable plug-in modules.

Das Ausschieben der Schublade erfolgt unter der ständigen Einwirkung einer Feder. Die ausgelöste Bewegung der Schublade wird mittels eines Dämpfers gedämpft, so daß ein hartes Aufschlagen auf Verriegelungen verhindert wird.The drawer is pushed out under the constant action of a spring. The triggered movement of the drawer is dampened by means of a damper, so that a hard impact on locks is prevented.

Zur Vereinfachung der Montage sind die Schublade, deren Ausschubantriebs- und Steuermechanismus für den im Zeittakt erfolgenden Ausschub und deren Führung an einer Basis montiert. Auf diese Weise wird eine Baugruppe geschaffen, die als Ganzes in ein Gehäuse eingebaut werden kann. Mit Vorteil weist die Auslösevorrichtung eine elektronische Steuerschaltung auf, in der ein Taktgenerator Impulse konstanter Frequenz in einen Zähler eingibt. Dieser Zähler ist mit einer Zählerstandabfrage verbunden und diese Zählerstandabfrage gibt dann in vorbestimmten Intervallen ein Öffnungssignal zum Auslösen der Verriegelungen ab.To simplify assembly, the drawer, its extension drive and control mechanism for the extension in time and their guidance are mounted on a base. In this way, an assembly is created that can be installed as a whole in a housing. The triggering device advantageously has an electronic control circuit in which a clock generator inputs pulses of constant frequency into a counter. This counter is connected to a counter reading and this counter reading then emits an opening signal to trigger the interlocks at predetermined intervals.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung soll in der folgenden Beschreibung unter Bezugnahme auf die Figur der Zeichnung erläutert werden, die schematisch eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Zeitverschlußbehältnisses zeigt.An embodiment of the invention will be explained in the following description with reference to the figure of the drawing, which schematically shows a perspective view of a time lock container.

Das Zeitverschlußbehältnis weist ein Gehäuse 1 auf, in der ein Schubfach 2 verschieb- und verriegelbar gelagert ist. Wie schematisch angedeutet, ist diese Schublade 2 in n Fächer 2.1; 2.2; 2.3... 2.n unterteilt. Jedes dieser Schubfächer 2.1....2.n weist zugeordnete Schubfachtiefen a₁ bis an auf.The time lock container has a housing 1, in which a drawer 2 is slidably and lockably mounted. As indicated schematically, this drawer 2 is in n compartments 2.1; 2.2; 2.3 ... 2.n divided. Each of these drawers 2.1 .... 2.n has associated drawer depths a₁ to a n .

Zur Führung der Schublade 2 innerhalb des Gehäuses 1 sind drei kugelgelagerte Teleskopschienen mit Vollauszug vorgesehen. Zwei Teleskopschienen dienen zur Sicherung der senkrechten Einbaulage und nehmen vertikale Kräfte auf. Eine Führungsschiene dient zur Geradeausführung der Schublade. Die Außenschiene der Teleskopschienen sind an der Basis montiert, während die Innenschienen dieser Teleskopschienen an der Schublade montiert sind.Three ball-bearing telescopic rails with full extension are provided for guiding the drawer 2 within the housing 1. Two telescopic rails serve to secure the vertical installation position and absorb vertical forces. A guide rail is used to run the drawer straight. The outer rails of the telescopic rails are mounted on the base, while the inner rails of these telescopic rails are mounted on the drawer.

Im Grundzustand ist die Schublade geschlossen. Nach dem Betätigen der Starttaste wird eine, die Schublade 2 in Ihrer Verriegelungsstellung haltende Verriegelung ausgelöst. Ein von einer Zugfeder gespannter Ausstoßhebel greift hinter eine Ausstoßrolle, die an der Schublade befestigt ist. Die Schublade wird, gedämpft durch einen Dämpfer bis zu einem ersten Anschlag aus dem Gehäuse 1, über die Strekke a₁ herausgefahren, so daß das Fach 2.1 nunmehr zugänglich ist. Ein Anschlag erfolgt an einer entsprechenden steuerbaren Sperre.In the basic state, the drawer is closed. After pressing the start button, a lock is triggered which holds the drawer 2 in its locking position. An ejector lever tensioned by a tension spring engages behind an ejector roller which is attached to the drawer. The drawer is damped by a damper up to a first stop from the housing 1, extended over the stretches a 1, so that the compartment 2.1 is now accessible. A stop occurs at a corresponding controllable lock.

Nach dem Herausfahren kann beispielsweise die Schublade wieder eingefahren und erneut verriegelt werden, wobei die Auslösevorrichtung ausgeschaltet wird.After it has been moved out, the drawer can be retracted and locked again, for example, the triggering device being switched off.

Die Stellung der Schublade 2 kann nur verändert werden, wenn über die elektrische Steuerung ein erneuter Öffnungsimpuls abgegeben wird, der bewirkt, daß die Schublade 2 weiter um die Strecke a₂ ausgeschoben wird, so daß das Fach 2.2 nunmehr freigegeben wird.The position of the drawer 2 can only be changed if a new opening pulse is emitted via the electrical control, which causes the drawer 2 to be pushed out further by the distance a 2, so that the compartment 2.2 is now released.

An der die Teleskopschienen der Schublade 2 tragenden Basis ist ein Hubmagnet montiert, der von der elektronischen Steuerung gesteuert wird. Der Hubmagnet steht über Bowdenzüge mit den Verriegelungen in Verbindung. Beim Auslösen des Startsignals öffnet der Hubmagnet die erste Verriegelung, so daß die Schublade 2 um die Strecke a₁ ausgefahren werden kann usw..A lifting magnet, which is controlled by the electronic control, is mounted on the base supporting the telescopic rails of the drawer 2. The solenoid is connected to the locks via Bowden cables. When the start signal is triggered, the solenoid opens the first lock, so that the drawer 2 can be extended a 1 a distance, etc.

Das Zeitverschlußbehältnis ist derart aufgebaut, daß nach Drücken einer Starttaste dieses zunächst verschlossen bleibt. Es läuft eine erste Zeitverzögerung ab und danach wird die Schublade 2 um die Strecke a₁ geöffnet. Wenn die Schublade in diesem Zustand belassen und nicht von Hand wieder zurückgeschoben wird, dann springt sie nach Ablauf einer 2. Verzögerungszeit um eine weitere Strecke a₂ heraus. Beläßt man die Schublade 2 in diese Position, so wird sie nach Ablauf einer dritten Verzögerungszeit um eine weitere Strecke a₂ geöffnet usw. bis sie völlig offen ist. Dieser Öffnungszyklus wird durch Einschieben der Schublade unterbrochen.The time lock container is constructed in such a way that it remains locked after a start button is pressed. There is a first time delay and then the drawer 2 is opened by the distance a 1. If the drawer is left in this state and is not pushed back by hand, it will jump out a further distance a₂ after a second delay. If you leave the drawer 2 in this position, it will be opened by a further distance a₂ after a third delay time, etc. until it is completely open. This opening cycle is interrupted by inserting the drawer.

Mit der Ansteuerschaltung wird die Schublade stufenweise dadurch geöffnet, daß der Hubmagnet zu den jeweils vorbestimmten Zeitpunkten ausgelöst wird. Sobald die Schublade 2 wieder geschlossen wird, befindet sich die Ansteuerschaltung im Grundzustand. Es besteht die Möglichkeit, einen Stop/Reset-Taster vorzusehen, mit welchem der Öffnungsvorgang jederzeit abgebrochen bzw. unterbrochen werden kann.With the control circuit, the drawer is gradually opened in that the solenoid is triggered at the respectively predetermined times. As soon as the drawer 2 is closed again, the control circuit is in the basic state. It is possible to provide a stop / reset button with which the opening process can be interrupted or interrupted at any time.

Ein Tastgenerator erzeugt Impulse mit konstanter Frequenz, die in einen Impulszähler eingezählt werden. Der Zähler beginnt beim Zählerstand 0 und zählt aufwärts, wobei sich der Zählerstand proportional zur vergangenen Zeit erhöht. Jedesmal, wenn der Zählerstand einen vorbestimmten, festgelegten Wert erreicht hat, gibt dieser Zählerstand ein Öffnungssignal an den Hubmagneten ab, so daß die Schublade 2 um eine weitere Strecke an geöffnet wird.A pulse generator generates pulses with a constant frequency, which are counted in a pulse counter. The counter starts at the counter reading 0 and counts up, whereby the counter reading increases proportionally to the past time. Each time the counter reading has reached a predetermined, fixed value, this counter reading emits an opening signal to the lifting magnet, so that the drawer 2 is opened a further distance a n .

Bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Schublade in drei Fächer unterteilt. Im ersten Fach sind sechs Banknotenteilfächer untergebracht und die Sperrzeit beträgt mindestens zwei Minuten. Im zweiten Fach sind sechs Banknotenteilfächer untergebracht und die Sperrzeit beträgt mindestens drei Minuten. Im dritten Fach sind sieben Banknotenteilfächer untergebracht und die Sperrzeit beträgt mindestens fünf Minuten.In one embodiment, the drawer is divided into three compartments. The first compartment has six compartments for banknotes and the blocking period is at least two minutes. In the second compartment there are six compartments for banknotes and the blocking period is at least three minutes. The third compartment has seven banknote compartments and the blocking period is at least five minutes.

Die Fächer sind erst nach Auslösung und Ablauf der genannten Sperrzeiten zugänglich. Nach Ablauf der ersten Sperrzeit wird die Schublade 2 um die Strecke a1 ausgefahren und das erste Fach 2.1 und der darin befindliche Geldbetrag sind zugänglich. Die anderen Fächer sind vor einem Zugriff gesichert. Nach Ablauf der zweiten Sperrzeit fährt die Schublade 2 um die Strecke a₂ aus und das zweite Fach wird freigegeben. Erst nach Ablauf von fünf Minuten wird dann das dritte Fach freigegeben.The subjects are only accessible after the above-mentioned blackout times have been triggered. After the first blocking time has elapsed, the drawer 2 is extended by the distance a1 and the first compartment 2.1 and the amount of money located therein are accessible. The other compartments are secured against access. After the second blocking time has elapsed, the Drawer 2 by the distance a₂ and the second compartment is released.
