Abstract

A device ( 10 ) for receiving notes of value has a receiving area ( 12 ) for receiving notes of value and a shaft ( 20 ) with one hook ( 26, 28 ) at each end. The hooks are movable between a locking position and an unlocked position by rotation of the shaft ( 20 ). A handle ( 14 ) is arranged on the shaft ( 20 ) so that the shaft ( 20 ) runs through a first hole ( 34 ) and a second hole ( 36 ) at both ends ( 16, 18 ) of the handle ( 14 ). The first hole ( 34 ) is formed so that upon rotation of the handle ( 14 ) within a predetermined range, a torque is transmittable to the shaft ( 20 ) via engagement between the shaft ( 20 ) and the first end ( 16 ) of the handle ( 14 ). The second hole ( 36 ) is formed so that upon rotation of the handle ( 14 ) no torque is transmitted to the shaft ( 20 ) via the second end ( 18 ).

Claims (33)

1. A device for receiving notes of value, comprising:

a receiving area for receiving notes of value,

a shaft,

a first hook arranged at a first end of the shaft and a second hook arranged at a second end of the shaft, wherein the first and second hooks, when the device is inserted in a compartment of a device for handling notes of value, are engaged with engagement elements of the device for handling notes of value in a locking position, the engagement elements are arranged within the compartment, and the first and second hooks are not engaged with the engagement elements when in an unlocked position, wherein the first and second hooks are movable between the locking position and the unlocked position by a rotation of the shaft,

a handle arranged on the shaft, the handle comprises a first end with a first hole and a second end with a second hole, wherein the shaft runs through the first and the second holes,

the first hole is formed such that upon rotation of the handle, at least within a predetermined range of rotation, a torque is transmitted to the shaft via an engagement between the shaft and the first end of the handle, and

the second hole is formed such that upon a rotation of the handle there is no torque transmission to the shaft via the second end.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the second hole has a circular cross-section and the diameter of the second hole is larger than a maximum dimension of a cross-section of the shaft.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the shaft has a rectangular basic body.

4. The device of claim 3 , wherein a projection is formed on each of a first side of the basic body and on a second side of the basis body opposite to the first side, each of the projections having a circular-segment-shaped cross-section and extending at least in areas of the first and the second holes, and that a curvature of the surface of the projections approximately corresponds to an inner curvature of the first and/or second hole.

5. The device of claim 2 , wherein the first hole has a circular cross-section into which at least one projection projects.

6. The device of claim 2 , wherein the handle comprises a basic body and a reinforcing element in an area of the first end of the handle, wherein a first portion of the first hole extends through the basic body and a second portion of the first hole extends through the reinforcing element.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the first portion of the first hole has a circular cross-section, and the second portion of the first hole has a circular cross-section into which at least one projection projects.

8. The device of claim 5 , wherein the at least one projection is designed such that, starting out from a zero position of the handle, upon a rotation of the handle within a first angular range, the shaft is not engaged with the at least one projection such that no torque transmission takes place, and upon a rotation of the handle within a second angular range following the first angular range there is an engagement between the at least one projection and the shaft via which a transmission of the torque from the handle to the shaft takes place.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first hook is mounted on the shaft in a rotationally fixed manner without play, and the second hook is mounted on the shaft with a predetermined play.

10. The device of claim 9 , wherein the play is between 3° and 7°.

11. The device of claim 9 , wherein the shaft has a rectangular cross-section at its first and second ends, the first hook has a recess into which the first end of the shaft engages, the recess of the first hook has the same cross-section as the first end of the shaft, the second hook has a recess into which the second end of the shaft engages, the recess of the second hook has a rectangular cross-section, and both sides of the rectangular cross-section of the recess of the second hook are larger than respective corresponding sides of the cross-section of the second end of the shaft.

12. The device of claim 9 , wherein the second hook is biased on the shaft by means of an elastic element opposite to a direction of rotation into which the shaft has to be rotated for moving the first and second hooks to the unlocked position.

13. A device for receiving notes of value, comprising:

a receiving area for receiving notes of value,

a shaft,

a handle arranged on the shaft,

a first hook arranged at a first end of the shaft and a second hook arranged at a second end of the shaft, wherein the first and second hooks, when the device is inserted in a compartment of a device for handling notes of value, are engaged with engagement elements of the device for handling notes of value in a locking position, which engagement elements are arranged within the compartment, and the first and second hooks are not engaged with the engagement elements in an unlocked position, wherein the first and second hooks are movable between the locking position and the unlocked position by a rotation of the shaft by the handle, wherein

the first hook is mounted on the shaft in a rotationally fixed manner without play, and the second hook is mounted on the shaft with a predetermined amount of play.

14. A device for handling notes of value with the compartment for receiving the device for receiving notes of value of claim 1 , wherein

when the device for receiving notes of value is received in the compartment of the device for handling notes of value,

a first engagement element of the engagement elements is arranged on a first side of the compartment and a second engagement element of the engagement elements is arranged on a second side of the compartment opposite to the first side,

wherein, in the locking position, the first hook is engaged with the first engagement element and the second hook is engaged with the second engagement element.

15. The device of claim 14 , wherein on the first side a locking unit is arranged, which, in a first operating state, prevents a movement of the first hook from the locking position into the unlocked position, and, in a second operating state, enables the movement of the first hook from the locking position into the unlocking position.

16. The device of claim 12 , wherein the elastic element is a spring.

17. The device for handling notes of value of claims 13 wherein the device for handling notes of value is an automated teller machine.

18. The device for handling notes of value of claims 14 wherein the device for handling notes of value is an automated teller machine.

19. The device of claim 7 , wherein the at least one projection comprises two projections.
