Abstract

According to the invention, a banknote holder is to be arranged on cashboxes for cash registers quickly and simply, in such a way that there is no possibility of damage to the banknote holder during transport and stacking. According to the invention, the banknote holder is integrated within the cashbox, the cashbox base part being produced in one piece with the banknote holder by injection moulding. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Geldkassette für Registrierkassen, mit einem schmalen Kassettengrundteil und einem abschließbaren Kassettendeckel, wobei das Kassettengrundteil mit einer ortsfesten Aufnahmevorrichtung verriegelbar ist, und mit einem für den Kunden sichtbar angeordneten Geldscheinhalter.The invention relates to a cash cassette for cash registers, with a narrow cassette base part and a lockable cassette cover, the cassette base part being lockable with a stationary receiving device, and with a bank note holder arranged visibly for the customer.

Bei den bekannten Geldkassetten ist der Geldscheinhalter auf der Außenseite des Kassettengrundteils nachträglich angeklebt. Abgesehen davon, daß hierfür ein zusätzlicher Arbeitsaufwand erforderlich ist, ist der auf der Außenseite des Kassettengrundteils angeordnete Geldscheinhalter beim Transport und bei der Stapelung hinderlich und zusätzlichen Belastungen ausgesetzt, wodurch eine Beschädigung des Geldscheinhalters nicht ausgeschlossen ist. Der außen angebrachte Geldscheinhalter ist in ästhetischer Hinsicht störend und wirkt als Schmutzsammelstelle.In the known cash cassettes, the bill holder is subsequently glued to the outside of the base part of the cassette. Apart from the fact that additional work is required for this, the bill holder arranged on the outside of the base part of the cassette is a hindrance during transport and stacking and is subjected to additional loads, whereby damage to the bill holder is not excluded. The outside of the bill holder is aesthetically disturbing and acts as a dirt collecting point.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Geldscheinhalter so an Geldkassetten für Registrierkassen anzuordnen, daß für die Anbringung kein zusätzlicher Arbeitsaufwand erforderlich und beim Transport und Stapeln eine Beschädigung des Geldscheinhalters ausgeschlossen ist.The invention has for its object to arrange a bill holder on cash cassettes for cash registers that no additional work is required for the attachment and damage to the bill holder is excluded during transport and stacking.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Geldscheinhalter innerhalb der Geldkassette integriert ist. Vorteilhafterweise ist der Geldscheinhalter an das Kassettengrundteil angeschlossen. Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführung ist das Kassettengrundteil mit dem Geldscheinhalter im Spritzgießverfahren hergestellt. Der Geldscheinhalter kann durch eine Verlängerung der inneren vorderen Wandung des Kassettengrundteils gebildet sein, wobei dem Geldscheinhalter zweckmäßigerweise ein Geldscheinaufnahmeschlitz zugeordnet ist, der einen unteren Abschluß aufweist. In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Geldscheinaufnahmeschlitz zwischen Geldscheinhalter und äußerer vorderer Wandung des Kassettengrundteils angeordnet. Zur besseren Handhabung ragt der Geldscheinhalter über die obere vordere Begrenzung des Kassettengrundteils, wobei seitlich des Geldscheinhalters die innere vordere Wandung des Kassettengrundteils mit je einer Aussparung versehen sein kann. Es besteht die Möglichkeit, dem Geldscheinhalter eine oder mehrere Klemmen zuzuordnen, die durch eine Ausprägung im Kassettengrundteil gebildet sein können.This object is achieved in that the bill holder is integrated within the cash box. The bill holder is advantageously connected to the base part of the cassette. In a preferred embodiment, the base part of the cassette is manufactured with the bill holder in an injection molding process. The bill holder can be formed by an extension of the inner front wall of the base part of the cassette, the bill holder expediently being assigned a bill receiving slot which has a lower end. In an embodiment of the invention, the bill receiving slot is arranged between the bill holder and the outer front wall of the base part of the cassette. For better handling, the bill holder protrudes over the upper front boundary of the base part of the cassette, and the inner front wall of the base part of the cassette can be provided with a recess on each side of the bill holder. It is possible to assign one or more clips to the bill holder, which can be formed by an expression in the base part of the cassette.

Durch den innerhalb der transportablen Geldkassette angeordneten Geldscheinhalter ist eine Beschädigung beim Transport und beim Stapeln ausgeschlossen. Außerdem ist beim Stapeln kein zusätzlicher Stauraum erforderlich. In ästhetischer Hinsicht tritt eine Verbesserung durch die glatte Außenkontur ein. Zusätzliche Stoßkanten und Schmutzfänger entfallen. Der in den Geldscheinhalter eingeführte Geldschein fällt bei unbeabsichtigtem Lösen nicht mehr auf den Boden, sondern in die Geldkassette. Durch die Anordnung des Geldscheinhalters innerhalb der Geldkassette wird die Bedienung der Fächer der Geldkassette bei geöffnetem Deckel nicht behindert. Außerdem wird der unbefugte Zugriff zu dem im Geldscheinhalter eingelegten Geldschein erschwert. Das Recycling einer Geldkassette mit integriertem Geldscheinhalter nach der Erfindung ist verbessert, da keine Verunreinigungen durch Kleberückstände zu beseitigen sind.Damage during transport and stacking is prevented by the bank note holder arranged inside the transportable cash box. In addition, no additional storage space is required when stacking. In terms of aesthetics, there is an improvement due to the smooth outer contour. Additional bumper edges and dirt traps are no longer required. If you unintentionally loosen the bill, it will no longer fall on the floor but in the cash box. The arrangement of the bill holder within the cash box does not hinder the operation of the compartments of the money box when the lid is open. In addition, unauthorized access to the bill inserted in the bill holder is made more difficult. The recycling of a cash cassette with an integrated bill holder according to the invention is improved since no contamination from adhesive residues can be removed.

Am Kassettengrundteil 2 ist an der Rückseite ein abschließbarer Kassettendeckel 8 gelenkig angeschlossen. In Figur 1 ist durch die gestrichelte Linie der Kassettendeckel 8 im geschlossenen Zustand angedeutet. Im Kassettengrundteil 2 lagert herausnehmbar ein Geldeinsatz 9, der mehrere Münzgeld- und Geldscheinfächer aufweist. Der Geldscheinhalter 1 verläuft in Verlängerung der inneren vorderen Wandung 3 des Kassettengrundteils 2. Dem Geldscheinhalter 1 ist ein Geldscheinaufnahmeschlitz 4 zugeordnet, der einen unteren Abschluß 5 aufweist. Wie aus den Figuren 2 und 3 erkennbar, ragt der innerhalb der Geldkassette verlaufende Geldscheinhalter 1 über die obere Begrenzung der äußeren vorderen Wandung 6 des Kassettengrundteils 2. Seitlich des Geldscheinhalters 1 ist die innere vordere Wandung 3 des Kassettengrundteils 2 mit je einer Aussparung 7 versehen.A lockable cassette cover 8 is hingedly connected to the back of the cassette base part 2. In Figure 1 is indicated by the dashed line of the cassette cover 8 in the closed state. A cash insert 9, which has several coin and bill compartments, is removably stored in the cassette base part 2. The bill holder 1 extends in the extension of the inner front wall 3 of the base part 2. The bill holder 1 is assigned a bill receiving slot 4, which has a lower end 5. As can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3, the bill holder 1 running inside the cash cassette protrudes over the upper boundary of the outer front wall 6 of the cassette base part 2. To the side of the bill holder 1, the inner front wall 3 of the cassette base part 2 is provided with a recess 7 in each case.
