Definitions
- the invention relates to a cash drawer with a box-shaped lower part and a pivotally hinged lid thereon, the lower part having a first area with a plurality of compartments arranged one behind the other and a second area which is intended for receiving a removable cash insert.
- the compartments are separated from one another by partitions directed parallel to the front wall of the lower part facing the operator.
- a cash drawer of the type mentioned above is known for example from German Offenlegungsschrift 29 07 643.
- compartments for holding standing bills are arranged parallel to the front wall of the cash drawer.
- hard currency compartments are arranged next to and behind one another.
- a disadvantage of the arrangement of the banknote compartments is that the banknotes standing in the compartments are difficult to grasp, since they fall over when the compartments are filled to a small extent, which also makes it difficult to insert received banknotes into the compartments. This difficulty is exacerbated by the fact that folded bills resume their shape given by the kinks in the compartment and that a few bills also accept them This will completely fill in the compartments.
- the invention is based on the object of designing a cash drawer of the type mentioned in such a way that with a small overall size of the cash drawer base there is a sufficient number of easily accessible compartments for receiving bank notes, in which the bank notes are arranged in a manner that is easy to grasp can and in which the notes can also be conveniently classified.
- a pressure plate is pivotally pivoted about an axis parallel to this edge at or near the upper edge of the boundary wall of the compartment remote from the operator, the width of the pressure plate measured perpendicular to the axis being greater than the width of the respective compartment is and the pressure plate is biased upwards by spring means.
- the pressure plate holds the bills in the respective compartment in an approximately vertical position and allows the bills to be easily removed from the respective compartment. Since the banknotes stand vertically in the respective compartment and lie against a partition, new banknotes can also be conveniently sorted into the compartment, with the pressure plate being pressed down against the action of the spring means.
- the spring means are each formed by a leaf spring which is connected at one end to the pressure plate and with its other free end against the wall to which the pressure plate in question is articulated.
- the pressure plate and the leaf spring can expediently be formed in one piece, wherein the pressure plate can consist of both steel and plastic.
- the lower part has a plurality of guides for each partition, so that the partitions are adjustable in the sense of changing the respective compartment width.
- the dividing walls can also be arranged in the lower part in such a way that they can be pivoted between a position perpendicular to the bottom of the lower part and a position inclined relative to the latter towards the front wall. This can be ensured by suitable guides or stops in the area of the side edges of the partition walls.
- the pressure plate can have a cutout in a central region near the axis, which gives a view of the compartment behind it or the banknotes standing in this compartment, so that the operator can recognize which banknotes are in the respective compartment.
- a further compartment parallel to the rear wall and delimited by the latter can be provided in the second region of the lower part.
- FIG. 1 shows a box-shaped lower part of the cash drawer, generally designated 10, with a base 12, a front wall 14 and a rear wall 16 and side walls 18 and 20 (FIGS. 4 and 5).
- a hinged lid 24 is pivotally articulated about an axis 22 parallel to this edge, which is shown in its open position.
- the lower part comprises a first region, designated by 26, with bill compartments 28, which are separated from one another by partitions 30 directed parallel to the front and rear walls, and a second region, designated by 32, in which a coin insert 34 with coin compartments 36 is removably arranged, the height of the cash deposit being less than the height of the lower part 10, so that at least one base compartment is formed between the bottom of the cash deposit 34 and the bottom 12 of the lower part 10.
- the hard cash insert 34 covers the entire floor area of the second area 32, while in the embodiment according to FIG. 5, a bill compartment 38, which extends over the entire height of the lower part 10, also accommodates large standing receptacles, which extends over the entire height of the lower part 10 Banknotes is provided.
- grooves 40 are formed, parallel to the rear wall 16, into which the partition walls 30 can be set. Several grooves 40 are provided for each partition 30, so that the respective Partition can be adjusted in the sense of changing the compartment width.
- an intermediate wall 42 separating the first area 26 from the second area 32 and in the side wall 18 of the lower part 10, which is not shown to the viewer of FIG. 1 vertical slots 44 are formed, into which projections or pins 46 provided on the side edges of the partition walls can engage holding the partitions in their upright position. As can be seen in FIG. 1, the slots 44 are each assigned to a groove 40 in the base 12.
- the partition 30 can also be inserted with its respective pin 46 into a slot 44 corresponding to an adjacent groove, whereby the partition 30 is held in an inclined position, as is shown for the middle partition in FIG. 1.
- an extension 48 can be provided at the lower end of the respective slot 44.
- the partition walls 30 each have extensions 50, on which a pressure plate 52 is pivotally articulated, which is shown in FIG.
- the extensions 50 of the respective partition wall have hemispherical nipples 54 which engage in corresponding hemispherical recesses 56 which engage in tongues 58 formed by recesses on the pressure plate 52, as shown in FIG. 2.
- the partition is indicated by dashed lines.
- the pressure plate 52 can thus be clipped onto the partition wall 30 so that it can be pivoted about the axis running through all hemispherical nipples 54.
- Spring tabs 64 are formed on both sides of a center line 60 perpendicular to the pivot axis by incisions 62 directed perpendicular to the axis from the edge of the pressure plate remote from the axis.
- a leaf spring 68 which is connected to the spring tab 64 only at its end remote from the axis, is arranged within the U-shaped cut-out 66 from the pressure plate.
- the leaf spring 68 is bent out of the plane, as can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 3. Both in the manufacture of the pressure plate from steel and from plastic, the spring properties of the leaf spring result from the respective material of the pressure plate.
- the pressure plate is clipped onto the respective partition wall in such a way that the respective leaf springs 68 rest with their free ends on the respective partition wall and thus press the pressure plate upward.
- the respective pressure plate 52 Since the pressure plate as a whole is wider than the width of a bill compartment 28, the respective pressure plate 52 is pressed with its free edge against an adjacent partition 30 from below. Notes can be inserted into the respective compartment from above, with the pressure plate 52 being pushed downward. When the pressure plate is released, it springs up and presses the notes in an upright position against the adjacent partition. The notes can thus be inserted in a simple manner, the insertion being facilitated in that the notes already in the compartment are flat and vertical in the compartment. The notes can also be easily gripped and pulled out of the compartment. In order to make the notes in the respective compartment easier to recognize, a V-shaped one is in the pressure plate of an adjacent compartment Cutout provided, which can be clearly seen in Figure 2.
- the pressure plate of the compartment 28 directly adjoining the rear wall 16 is articulated on a boundary wall which corresponds to a partition wall and lies directly against the rear wall 16.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kassenlade mit einem kastenförmigen Unterteil und einem daran schwenkbar angelenkten Deckel, wobei das Unterteil einen ersten Bereich mit einer Mehrzahl von hintereinander angeordneten Fächern und einen Zweiten Bereich hat, der zur Aufnahme eines herausnehmbaren Hartgeldeinsatzes bestimmt ist. Die Fächer sind durch parallel zu der der Bedienungsperson zugewandten Vorderwand des Unterteils gerichtete Trennwände voneinander getrennt.The invention relates to a cash drawer with a box-shaped lower part and a pivotally hinged lid thereon, the lower part having a first area with a plurality of compartments arranged one behind the other and a second area which is intended for receiving a removable cash insert. The compartments are separated from one another by partitions directed parallel to the front wall of the lower part facing the operator.
Eine Kassenlade der vorstehend genannten Art ist beispielsweise aus der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift 29 07 643 bekannt. Dabei sind parallel zur Vorderwand der Kassenlade Fächer zur Aufnahme stehender Scheine angeordnet. Ferner sind - von der Bedienungsperson aus betrachtet - rechts neben den Geldscheinfächern Hartgeldfächer neben- und hintereinander angeordnet. Nachteilig an der Anordnung der Geldscheinfächer ist, daß die in den Fächern stehenden Geldscheine schlecht zu greifen sind, da sie bei geringem Füllgrad der Fächer umfallen, wodurch auch das Einstecken erhaltener Geldscheine in die Fächer erschwert wird. Dieses Erschwernis wird noch dadurch gesteigert, daß gefaltete Geldscheine ihre durch die Knickungen vorgegebene Form in dem Fach wieder annehmen und daß auch wenige Geldscheine die Fächer dadurch vollständig ausfüllen. Andererseits sind bei volleren Fächern die relativ dünnen Trennwände zwischen den Geldscheinfächern nicht in der Lage, die Geldscheinbündel in den einzelnen Fächern voneinander zu trennen, so daß bei der Herausgabe von Wechselgeld leicht ein Geldschein aus dem Nachbarfach ungewollt mit erfaßt wird.A cash drawer of the type mentioned above is known for example from German Offenlegungsschrift 29 07 643. Here, compartments for holding standing bills are arranged parallel to the front wall of the cash drawer. Furthermore, from the operator's point of view, to the right of the bill compartments, hard currency compartments are arranged next to and behind one another. A disadvantage of the arrangement of the banknote compartments is that the banknotes standing in the compartments are difficult to grasp, since they fall over when the compartments are filled to a small extent, which also makes it difficult to insert received banknotes into the compartments. This difficulty is exacerbated by the fact that folded bills resume their shape given by the kinks in the compartment and that a few bills also accept them This will completely fill in the compartments. On the other hand, in the case of fuller compartments, the relatively thin dividing walls between the bill compartments are not able to separate the bundles of bank notes in the individual compartments, so that when issuing change, a bill from the neighboring subject is easily inadvertently included.
Diese Gefahr wird noch dadurch gesteigert, daß aufgrund der feineren Stückelung der Banknoten - in Deutschland ist z.B. der 200 DM-Schein hinzugekommen- die Zahl der Scheinfächer größer und deren Abmessungen bei gleichgebliebenem Gesamtvolumen der Kassenlade kleiner wird.This danger is further increased by the fact that the finer denomination of the banknotes - in Germany e.g. the 200 DM bill was added - the number of bill compartments increased and their dimensions became smaller with the same total volume of the cash drawer.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe Zugrunde, eine Kassenlade der eingangs genannten Art in der Weise auszubilden, daß bei insgesamt geringen Abmessungen der Kassenladen-Grundfläche eine ausreichende Anzahl von bequem zugänglichen Fächern zur Aufnahme von Geldscheinen vorhanden ist, in denen die Geldscheine leicht erfaßbar geordnet untergebracht werden können und in welche die Scheine auch bequem eingeordnet werden können.The invention is based on the object of designing a cash drawer of the type mentioned in such a way that with a small overall size of the cash drawer base there is a sufficient number of easily accessible compartments for receiving bank notes, in which the bank notes are arranged in a manner that is easy to grasp can and in which the notes can also be conveniently classified.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß an oder nahe dem oberen Rand der der Bedienungsperson fernen Begrenzungswand jedes Faches eine Andruckplatte um eine zu diesem Rand parallele Achse schwenkbar angelenkt ist, wobei die senkrecht zur Achse gemessene Breite der Andruckplatte größer als die Breite des jeweiligen Faches ist und die Andruckplatte durch Federmittel nach oben vorgespannt ist.This object is achieved in that a pressure plate is pivotally pivoted about an axis parallel to this edge at or near the upper edge of the boundary wall of the compartment remote from the operator, the width of the pressure plate measured perpendicular to the axis being greater than the width of the respective compartment is and the pressure plate is biased upwards by spring means.
Diese Ausgestaltung der Fächer erlaubt das Vorsehen einer ausreichenden Anzahl von Fächern, ohne daß die Tiefe der Kassenlade wesentlich vergrößert werden muß. Die Andruckplatte hält die in das jeweilige Fach eingestellten Scheine in einer annähernd senkrechten Position und erlaubt das bequeme Herausziehen der Scheine aus dem jeweiligen Fach. Da die Scheine senkrecht in dem jeweiligen Fach stehen und dabei an einer Trennwand anliegen, können neuen Scheine ebenfalls bequem in das Fach einsortiert werden, wobei die Andruckplatte gegen die Wirkung der Federmittel nach unten gedrückt wird. Vorzugsweise sind die Federmittel jeweils von einer Blattfeder gebildet, die an ihrem einen Ende mit der Andruckplatte verbunden ist und mit ihrem anderen freien Ende an der Wand anliegt, an der die betreffende Andruckplatte angelenkt ist. Dabei können die Andruckplatte und die Blattfeder zweckmäßigerweise einstückig ausgebildet sein, wobei die Andruckplatte sowohl aus Stahl als auch aus Kunststoff bestehen kann.This design of the compartments allows the provision of a sufficient number of compartments without the depth of the cash drawer having to be increased significantly. The pressure plate holds the bills in the respective compartment in an approximately vertical position and allows the bills to be easily removed from the respective compartment. Since the banknotes stand vertically in the respective compartment and lie against a partition, new banknotes can also be conveniently sorted into the compartment, with the pressure plate being pressed down against the action of the spring means. Preferably, the spring means are each formed by a leaf spring which is connected at one end to the pressure plate and with its other free end against the wall to which the pressure plate in question is articulated. The pressure plate and the leaf spring can expediently be formed in one piece, wherein the pressure plate can consist of both steel and plastic.
Um die Fächer zur Aufnahme der Scheine in gewissem Umfange an den Scheinebedarf anpassen zu können, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn das Unterteil für jede Trennwand eine Mehrzahl von Führungen hat, so daß die Trennwände im Sinne einer Veränderung der jeweiligen Fachbreite verstellbar sind. Auch können die Trennwände so in dem Unterteil angeordnet sein, daß sie zwischen einer zum Boden des Unterteils senkrechten Stellung und einer gegenüber dieser zur Vorderwand hin geneigten Stellung verschwenkbar sind. Dies kann durch geeignete Führungen oder Anschläge im Bereich der Seitenränder der Trennwände gewährleistet werden.In order to be able to adapt the compartments for receiving the banknotes to a certain extent to the banknote requirements, it is expedient if the lower part has a plurality of guides for each partition, so that the partitions are adjustable in the sense of changing the respective compartment width. The dividing walls can also be arranged in the lower part in such a way that they can be pivoted between a position perpendicular to the bottom of the lower part and a position inclined relative to the latter towards the front wall. This can be ensured by suitable guides or stops in the area of the side edges of the partition walls.
Die Andruckplatte kann in einem achsnahen mittleren Bereich einen Ausschnitt haben, der den Blick auf das dahinterliegende Fach bzw. die in diesem Fach stehenden Banknoten freigibt, so daß die Bedienungsperson erkennen kann, welche Banknoten in dem jeweiligen Fach stehen.The pressure plate can have a cutout in a central region near the axis, which gives a view of the compartment behind it or the banknotes standing in this compartment, so that the operator can recognize which banknotes are in the respective compartment.
Zur Aufnahme besonders großer Scheine kann in dem zweiten Bereich des Unterteiles ein zu dessen Rückwand paralleles und von dieser begrenztes weiteres Fach vorgesehen sein.To accommodate particularly large notes, a further compartment parallel to the rear wall and delimited by the latter can be provided in the second region of the lower part.

Figur 1 zeigt ein allgemein mit 10 bezeichnetes kastenförmiges Kassenladenunterteil mit einem Boden 12, einer Vorderwand 14 und einer Rückwand 16 sowie Seitenwänden 18 und 20 (Figuren 4 und 5). Am oberen Rand der Rückwand 16 ist um eine zu diesem Rand parallele Achse 22 ein Klappdeckel 24 schwenkbar angelenkt, der in seiner geöffneten Stellung dargestellt ist.FIG. 1 shows a box-shaped lower part of the cash drawer, generally designated 10, with a
Gemäß den Figuren 4 und 5 umfaßt das Unterteil einen mit 26 bezeichneten ersten Bereich mit Geldscheinfächern 28, die durch parallel zu Vorder- und Rückwand gerichtete Trennwände 30 voneinander getrennt sind, und ein mit 32 bezeichneten zweiten Bereich, in dem ein Hartgeldeinsatz 34 mit Münzfächern 36 herausnehmbar angeordnet ist, wobei die Höhe des Hartgeldeinsatzes geringer als die Höhe des Unterteils 10 ist, so daS zwischen dem Boden des Hartgeldeinsatzes 34 und dem Boden 12 des Unterteiles 10 noch mindestens ein Bodenfach ausgebildet ist.According to FIGS. 4 and 5, the lower part comprises a first region, designated by 26, with
Bei der in Figur 4 dargestellten Ausführungsform überdeckt der Hartgeldeinsatz 34 die gesamte Bodenfläche des zweiten Bereiches 32, während bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Figur 5 anschließend an die Rückwand 16 des Unterteiles noch ein sich über die ganze Höhe des Unterteiles 10 erstreckendes Geldscheinfach 38 zur Aufnahme großer stehender Geldscheine vorgesehen ist.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the
Im Boden 12 sind parallel zur Rückwand 16 verlaufende Nuten 40 ausgebildet, in welche die Trennwände 30 eingestellt werden können. Dabei sind für jede Trennwand 30 mehrere Nuten 40 vorgesehen, so daß die jeweilige Trennwand im Sinne einer Veränderung der Fachbreite verstellt werden kann. In einer den ersten Bereich 26 von dem zweiten Bereich 32 trennenden Zwischenwand 42 sowie in der dem Betrachter der Figur 1 nahen nicht dargestellten Seitenwand 18 des Unterteils 10 sind vertikale Schlitze 44 ausgebildet, in welche an den Seitenrändern der Trennwände vorgesehene Ansätze oder Zapfen 46 eingreifen können, welche die Trennwände in ihrer aufrechten Stellung halten. Wie man in Figur 1 erkennt, sind die Schlitze 44 jeweils einer Nut 40 im Boden 12 zugeordnet. Die Trennwand 30 kann jedoch auch mit ihrem jeweiligen Zapfen 46 in einen einer benachbarten Nut entsprechenden Schlitz 44 eingeschoben werden, wodurch die Trennwand 30 in einer schrägen Stellung gehalten wird, wie dies für die mittlere Trennwand in Figur 1 dargestellt ist. Um diese Schrägstellung zu ermöglichen, kann am unteren Ende des jeweiligen Schlitzes 44 eine Erweiterung 48 vorgesehen sein.In the
An ihrem oberen Rand weisen die Trennwände 30 jeweils Fortsätze 50 auf, an denen eine Andruckplatte 52 schwenkbar angelenkt ist, die in Figur 2 dargestellt ist. Die Fortsätze 50 der jeweiligen Trennwand haben dabei halbkugelförmige Nippel 54, die in entsprechende halbkugelförmige Vertiefungen 56 einrasten, die in durch Aussparungen gebildete Zungen 58 an der Andruckplatte 52 einrasten, wie dies in Figur 2 dargestellt ist. In Figur 2 ist die Trennwand durch gestrichelte Linien angedeutet. Die Andruckplatte 52 kann somit an der Trennwand 30 eingeklipst werden, so daß sie um die durch alle halbkugelförmigen Nippel 54 verlaufende Achse verschwenkbar ist.At their upper edge, the
Beiderseits einer zur Schwenkachse senkrechten Mittellinie 60 sind durch senkrecht zur Achse gerichtete Einschnitte 62 von dem achsfernen Rand der Andruckplatte her Federlaschen 64 gebildet. Innerhalb derselben ist jeweils durch einen U-förmigen Ausschnitt 66 von der Andruckplatte getrennt eine Blattfeder 68 angeordnet, die mit der Federlasche 64 nur an ihrem achsfernen Ende verbunden ist. Die Blattfeder 68 ist aus der Ebene herausgebogen, wie dies in den Figuren 1 und 3 zu erkennen ist. Sowohl bei der Herstellung der Andruckplatte aus Stahl als auch aus Kunststoff ergeben sich die Federeigenschaften der Blattfeder aus dem jeweiligen Material der Andruckplatte.
Wie man in Figur 1 erkennt, wird die Andruckplatte so an der jeweiligen Trennwand eingeklipst, daß die jeweiligen Blattfedern 68 mit ihren freien Enden an der jeweiligen Trennwand anliegen und damit die Andruckplatte nach oben drücken. Da die Andruckplatte insgesamt breiter ist als die Breite eines Geldscheinfaches 28, wird die jeweilige Andruckplatte 52 mit ihrem freien Rand von unten her gegen eine benachbarte Trennwand 30 gedrückt. In das jeweilige Fach können von oben her Scheine eingeführt werden, wobei die Andruckplatte 52 nach unten weggedrückt wird.Beim Loslassen der Andruckplatte federt sie nach oben und drückt dabei die Scheine in aufrechter Stellung gegen die benachbarte Trennwand. Die Scheine können somit auf einfache Weise eingeschoben werden, wobei das Einschieben dadurch erleichtert wird, daß die bereits im Fach befindlichen Scheine flach und senkrecht im Fach stehen. Ebenso können die Scheine auf einfache Weise gegriffen und aus dem Fach herausgezogen werden. Damit die Scheine in dem jeweiligen Fach besser zu erkennen sind, ist in der Andruckplatte eines benachbarten Faches ein V-förmiger Ausschnitt vorgesehen, der in der Figur 2 deutlich zu erkennen ist.As can be seen in Figure 1, the pressure plate is clipped onto the respective partition wall in such a way that the
Wie die Figur 1 zeigt, ist die Andruckplatte des unmittelbar an die Rückwand 16 angrenzenden Faches 28 an einer Begrenzungswand angelenkt, die einer Trennwand entspricht und unmittelbar an der Rückwand 16 anliegt.As FIG. 1 shows, the pressure plate of the
