DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The present invention relates to a method of safely controlling, storing and transporting banknotes and other valuable papers. Different kinds of cassettes, safety-boxes and safety-dispatch cases provided with different kinds of security systems, including a container which contains a dye or some other colouring substance and which is arranged to release the liquid over said banknotes upon forced or unauthorized entry into the cassette, thereby rendering the banknotes useless or readily identifiable, are previously known from, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 1,548,219, 2,384,826, 3,559,593, 3,654,880 and 3,643,609.
The disadvantage with these known devices, however, is that they do not provide a fully reliable handling system for banknotes and other valuable papers from a pick-up station or a pay-in station, such as the pay-counter of a shop or store, or a post-office or bank, to a place where the banknotes or papers can be received in safety, such as in a bank vault.
As is well known, robberies are often directed against shops and post-offices and banks. The natural reason for this is that ready money is on hand at such places, even though some kind of safety cassette of the aforementioned type is used to transport the money to, for example, a bank.
Further disadvantages with the aforementioned known cassettes and dispatch boxes or cases is that they are, as a rule, relatively large and bulky and cannot therefore be deposited in the reception boxes of the banks or in letter-boxes for normal postal delivery.
Other kinds of similar banknote and coin collecting devices encumbered with corresponding disadvantages are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 901,778, 3,783,884 and 3,841,550, Japanese Patent publication Nos. 52-16298 and 53-1092, German Patent specifications 277 082, 399 790, 825 017, German Published application No. 2 202 930 and Swedish Patent specification and Published specification Nos. 57 930, 376 780, 380 917 and 381 760.
The object of the present invention is to provide a method of the aforedescribed kind which eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages and which permits safe control, storage and transportation of banknotes and other valuable papers from a banknote pick-up station, such as a cash register on a store counter, to, e.g., a bank vault.
A further object is to provide a method of the aforementioned kind while applying an improved and more effective safety function in the cassette itself.
Because, in accordance with the invention, the infeed opening of the cassette is only exposed when the cassette is introduced into the infeed unit and because said cassette cannot be released from said unit without re-closing the cassette which also effects priming of the electric safety function, it is not possible in the case of a robbery or like criminal action for an unauthorized person to have access to the money present in a cassette which is connected to an infeed unit. This means that a robbery directed for instance against a store which applies the method according to the invention, i.e. a store having an infeed unit of the aforedescribed kind, is futile in practice since, with the exception of a cash box with little content, the thief can only take one or more closed cassettes which cannot be opened by him without rendering the contents thereof useless.
Thus, the invention provides a considerably improved security system for storing and transporting banknotes.
Further, because the banknotes are fed into the cassette by means of a unit which is separate from the cassette, it is possible to use small and readily handled cassettes; in practice the length and width of the cassette need only slightly exceed the length and width of the largest banknote which is to be stored in the cassette. The cassette may have any depth, said depth being chosen with respect to the number of banknotes which it is desired to hold. Normally, however, the depth of the cassette is preferably chosen to enable the cassette to be readily introduced into the opening of a safety deposit box associated with a bank vault or into t
