ABSTRACT:
A safety cash box includes a housing body and a slide drawer which can be moved back and forth within the housing. The drawer can be brought into a retracted, irreversibly locked and further jammed condition when, at the occurrence of disturbing conditions, an outer pushbutton is pressed or when a remotely generated electrical signal is applied to act on an electromagnetic triggering device arranged in the safety cash box. Thus, the safety cash box according to the invention comprises first, a mechanical arrangement intended to keep the slide drawer firmly in a locked position prevented from being shifted forward and, secondly, a backup security assembly which, when actuated, causes the drawer to become forcefully wedged in place in response to mechanical failure brought about on the locking arrangement. To this end, the shearing strength of the locking device is predetermined to correspond with a breaking down point, which when exceeded by a shearing stress so applied as to have the drawer dislodged, actuates the jamming mechanism.
