Cash box having a movable base tray
View Patent ↗A cash box ( 10 ) has a housing ( 12 ) and a base tray ( 16 ) arranged within the housing. The base tray ( 16 ) delimits a receiving area ( 28 ) for receiving a value note stack ( 22 ). The base tray ( 16 ) is movable relative to the housing ( 12 ) between a removal position and a retracted position.
1. A cash box, comprising:
a housing ( 12 ) and
a base tray ( 16 ) arranged within the housing ( 12 ), the base tray ( 16 ) delimiting a receiving area ( 28 ) for receiving a value note stack ( 22 ) at least in part, so that the notes of value of the received value note stack ( 22 ) stand with edges of the notes on a bottom element ( 28 ) of the base tray ( 16 ), the base tray ( 16 ) being movable relative to the housing ( 12 ) between a removal position and a retracted position, wherein the base tray ( 16 ) has a front wall ( 23 ) at its front side facing an opening ( 14 ) of the cash box ( 10 ) for automatic feeding and/or removing of the notes of value, the front wall delimiting the receiving area ( 28 ) in a direction of the opening ( 14 ).
2. The cash box ( 10 ) of claim 1 , wherein the base tray ( 16 ) is designed such that when the base tray ( 16 ) is moved the position of the received notes of value relative to the base tray ( 16 ) remains unchanged.
3. The cash box ( 10 ) of claim 1 , wherein the base tray ( 16 ) is mounted relative to the housing ( 12 ) linearly movably along the housing ( 12 ).
4. The cash box ( 10 ) of claim 1 , wherein the cash box ( 10 ) has an adjusting unit ( 46 ) for moving the base tray ( 16 ) between the retracted position and the removal position.
5. The cash box ( 10 ) of claim 1 , wherein the cash box ( 10 ) has an opening ( 14 ) for automatic feeding and/or removing of notes of value, and wherein a front side of the base tray ( 16 ) facing this opening ( 14 ) has a smaller distance (A) to the opening ( 14 ) in the removal position as compared to the retracted position.
6. The cash box ( 10 ) of claim 1 , wherein the bottom element ( 20 ) of the base tray ( 16 ) is plate-shaped.
7. The cash box ( 10 ) of claim 1 , wherein a press-on unit ( 18 ) is provided and is configured to press the value note stack ( 22 ) against the front wall ( 23 ) so that the note of value arranged at a front side of the value note stack ( 22 ) has a front or rear side that contacts the front wall ( 23 ).
8. The cash box ( 10 ) of claim 1 , wherein the bottom element ( 20 ) and the front wall ( 23 ) are stationary relative to each other and orthogonal to each other.
9. The cash box ( 10 ) of claim 1 , wherein the base tray ( 16 ) comprises two side walls ( 24 , 26 ) for laterally delimiting the receiving area ( 28 ), the side walls being orthogonal to the bottom element ( 20 ) and/or to the front wall ( 23 ).
10. The cash box ( 10 ) of claim 1 , wherein the front wall ( 23 ) has at least one recess ( 32 to 36 ) for the passage of a pull-off element ( 40 ) of a separating module when the cash box ( 10 ) is inserted in a device for handling notes of value and the base tray ( 16 ) is arranged in the removal position.
11. The cash box ( 10 ) of claim 1 , further comprising a slot between the bottom element ( 20 ) and the front wall ( 23 ) for passing notes of value.
12. The cash box ( 10 ) of claim 11 , wherein the press-on unit ( 18 ) is designed to press the value note stack ( 22 ) so strongly against the front wall ( 23 ) that the notes of value of the value note stack ( 22 ) do not slip through the opening ( 30 ) by themselves.
13. A cash box ( 10 ), comprising:
a housing ( 12 ) having an opening ( 14 ) for automatic feeding and/or removing of notes of value; and
a base tray ( 16 ) arranged within the housing ( 12 ), the base tray ( 16 ) delimiting a receiving area ( 28 ) for receiving a value note stack ( 22 ) at least in part, so that the notes of value of the received value note stack ( 22 ) stand with edges of the notes on a bottom element ( 20 ) of the base tray ( 16 ), the base tray ( 16 ) being movable relative to the housing ( 12 ) between a removal position and a retracted position, a front side of the base tray ( 16 ) facing the opening ( 14 ) having a smaller distance (A) to the opening ( 14 ) in the removal position as compared to the retracted position, and wherein the cash box ( 10 ) has a shutter for closing the opening ( 14 ) and the base tray ( 16 ) is arranged in the removal position when the shutter is open and is arranged in the retracted position when the shutter is closed.
14. The cash box ( 10 ) of claim 13 , wherein the shutter and the base tray are coupled to each other so that when the shutter is opened the base tray ( 16 ) is moved automatically from the retracted position into the removal position and/or when the shutter is closed the base tray ( 16 ) is moved automatically from the removal position into the retracted position.
15. The cash box ( 10 ) of claim 13 , wherein the base tray ( 16 ) has a front wall ( 23 ) at its front side facing an opening ( 14 ) of the cash box ( 10 ) for the automatic feeding and/or removing, the front wall delimiting the receiving area ( 28 ) in a direction of the opening ( 14 ).
