Description

METHOD OF MAKING A SAFE COVER FOR AN AUTOMATIC ATM MACHINE FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present • invention relates to bank ATMs. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for making a security enclosure for bank ATMs, which includes a security door that is made and assembled more easily, which provides greater and better security.

ANTECEDENTS OF ART Bank ATMs are known in the prior art. The best-known ATMs are those used, often by consumers, as ATMs for banking operations (ATM). The most common banking operations or transactions that consumers perform at ATMs include deposits, withdrawals, account transfers and balance requests.

Most ATMs include a security facility. The security enclosure is used to keep bills or other valuables inside the machine.

Also, the deposits that users make at the ATM are preferably kept inside the machine until it is removed by authorized personnel. Preferably, the security enclosure also houses portions of the mechanism that is used to receive the deposits and to deliver the money. In addition, preferably, the security enclosure houses the electronic components of the ATM that may be subject to attack by someone who wants to attempt against the security of the ATM or the electronic communications network in which it operates.

The security enclosures used in ATMs are specifically made for the type of machines in which they are used. Unlike the enclosure types that are most commonly used, these security enclosures or vaults, include multiple openings through the walls of the recito, These openings are placed precisely. This precise placement must cooperate with the ATM components outside the premises. For example, it is necessary that the opening through the security enclosure allows the money dispensing mechanism within the security enclosure to pass the bills to the mechanism outside the enclosure that delivers the tickets to the users. Similarly, an accurate opening is required to pass the envelopes are the deposits and other values from the opening that accepts the deposits and the mechanism outside the security enclosure to the deposit mechanism within the security enclosure. Similarly, cables and other connectors for electronic components and alarms within the enclosure extend through the openings that must be placed precisely to allow connection with other cables or devices in the ATM that are outside the enclosure.

There are many types of ATMs. ATMs can be configured as units for the lobby, which are made to be used inside a building. Other ATMs are made to be "installed" through a wall, which allows a user outside the building to use the ATM. The physical size of the ATM can vary due to a variety of factors. The ATM that offers a wide variety of functions, such as printing of savings passbooks, ticket delivery, cash verification and other functions, is necessarily larger than ATMs that do not offer these functions. Generally, these multi-function ATMs have security enclosures that are many times larger than those that provide fewer features. ATMs that offer only one function, such as cash delivery, often require much smaller security enclosures.

The manufacture of several types of ATMs often requires that the producer of these ATMs perform a number of types of security enclosures. These enclosures may vary not only in physical size and configuration, without also in the terms of placement and variety of openings that are provided through the walls of the security enclosure. Problems in production processes can arise when the enclosures are assembled for panels of similar size. If you are not careful, you can assemble an incorrect panel in the enclosure. Similarly, inadvertently, the enclosure can be made with two panels of the same type, such as two upper or two lower parts. Also, the panels may be inverted from the proper position. The potential for confusion increases when several enclosures of similar size are manufactured for similar panels, where these enclosures have different openings to accommodate the positions of the devices in the ATM, in which the enclosure is to be used. Generally, an improper fabrication of the enclosures results in a significant amount of scraps of material, as well as loss in manufacturing work.

In this way, a security enclosure and a method to manufacture these ATM security enclosures that is more reliable and economical is needed.

The security enclosures in bank ATMs generally include a mobile door that allows authorized personnel to have access to the mechanism, electronic equipment and the values stored in this security facility. The safety mechanism that is used in relation to this door must be strong and highly resistant to attacks by thieves. At the same time, authorized personnel should be able to easily open this security mechanism, they should be able to move quickly to carry out the service activities within the security premises.

Traditionally, the manufacture of the ATM enclosure requires that much attention be paid to the hinges used to connect the mobile door to the security enclosure. Frequently, the hinges are a weak point for attacks by thieves. To achieve stronger or stronger hinges, care must be taken to ensure that the hinges are securely attached to both the door and the enclosure. Since, frequently, the hinges are two or more separator assemblies and must be permanently fixed in place, generally welded, it is common to connect the set of hinges first to the door or to the enclosure, and then to the other components . This prevents misalignment but can be complicated from the assembly point of view.

When the components of the hinge assembly are attached to the door and the enclosure in separate operations, it is common for situations to arise in which the hinges are slightly misaligned. In these circumstances, it is not possible to mount the door in the enclosure without having to do a considerable part of the work again. Even if the door can be mounted on the hinges, it will not be positioned properly to allow the opening of the enclosure to be closed. Again, under these circumstances, a new, expensive job is required to make the enclosure suitable for use in an ATM.

Therefore, a system and method are needed to mount, in an easier way, a security enclosure in an ATM. In addition, a system and method is needed to mount a door in the ATM security enclosure in which the hinge does not represent a weak point that is vulnerable to attacks by thieves. Also, a system and method is needed to mount a door in the ATM security enclosure that can be achieved despite the misalignment of the hinges that support the door.

Security enclosures for ATMs also include, in connection with the movable door, a mechanism with a locking bolt or lock. Generally, this locking pin mechanism is in a closed condition, secured when the door is closed. When the authorized personnel performs the action to open the door of the security enclosure, as for example when entering the appropriate combination in the lock, the mechanism of the locking pin moves towards a second unlocked or free condition. In the second condition of the pin mechanism, the door is allowed to open so that the components within the safety enclosure can be accessed.

Due to the increase of attacks by thieves to the ATMs, the mechanism of the bolt and other locking mechanisms used in relation to the mobile doors of the security enclosures, preferably have a high degree of resistance to attacks. However, providing an improved security system often also involves a high degree of complexity. This increases the costs of ATMs. In addition, the complexity of the mechanism makes it more difficult for authorized personnel to access the security premises.

Therefore, an apparatus is needed for the closing bolt mechanism at the ATM door that provides greater security, but is also economical and can be easily opened by security personnel.

Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to provide the method for making ATM enclosure such that it includes a movable door that is adjustable in multiple hinge assemblies.

Other objects of the present invention will be apparent according to the best embodiment of the invention and the appended claims.

The above objects are achieved in the preferred embodiment of the present invention through the ATM enclosure. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the ATM is an ATM. Precisely positioned openings extend through the security enclosure. The openings allow cooperation between devices and mechanisms inside and outside the premises, which allows carrying out banking transactions.

Generally, the security enclosure is rectangular and includes five panels as well as a moving door. The enclosure includes a front panel. The front panel is connected to a hinge side panel and to the separate parallel striker or side panel fastener. The enclosure further includes a top panel and a separate bottom panel, an opening for the enclosure extends on a side opposite the front panel when the door is in its closed position. Preferably, each of the panels includes the access openings positioned to cooperate with the components that make up the ATM.

In the preferred embodiment of the invention the front panels, upper and lower, each one includes projections with a precise size and placement. In the case of the upper and lower panels, the projections extend on the three surfaces of the side edges of the panel that is not adjacent to the opening. The front panel includes projections extending outwardly on the surfaces of the side edges, to each of the side panels. Each of the side panels includes depressions or holes precisely positioned on the edge surfaces that accept the projections on the top, bottom and front panels. The front panel also includes holes that accept the projections on the upper and lower panels on the edge surfaces adjacent to the front panel.

The size and position of the projections and the holes in each of the panels are arranged in such a way that only suitable panels can be assembled, which make the enclosure particularly safe, this allows projections and holes to be Join in a proper hooked relationship. In addition, the projections and holes are positioned so that in the assembly of the panels in the security enclosure, the panels can only be assembled in the manner in which the openings are placed in the correct position required for the particular type of ATM .

The hinge side panel and the side panel with striker also include a plurality of rectangular openings, vertically aligned therein. The hinged side panel also includes a pair of holes for mounting the hinges on its front edge, adjacent to the opening. A pair of box hinges that are mounted in the enclosure in the holes. The door measured to close the opening of the enclosure has hinges that fit the door. The winged hinged door includes a plurality of projections on the dead bolt. The arc of rotation of the hinges allows the projections of the dead bolt, in the door, to engage with the openings in the hinged side panel in an interconnected relationship, when the door is in its closed position. This provides a secure closing of the door in the closed position and reduces the vulnerability of the hinges as points of attack.

The sets of hinges used to connect the door and the hinged side panel allow the hinges to be connected even when they are misaligned. In addition, the hinge assemblies allow independent vertical adjustment so that the door can be placed to close the opening of the safety enclosure.

The door has a mounting for a bolt mechanism or locking pin mechanism. The locking pin mechanism moves in response to the locked closing condition, between a secured condition and an open condition. The mechanism of the bolt includes a movable locking bolt with a plurality of projections of the locking bolt. In the secured condition of the locking bolt, the projections extend into the openings in the side panel with the firing pin of the enclosure. In the open condition, the projections of the locking pin are retracted from the openings which allows the movement of the door towards its open position.

The locking pin moves in response to the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a cam shaft positioned in the central part. The driving cam is operatively connected to the lock and moved by means of a crank when the lock is in an open condition. The driving cam is connected, by means of two joints, which generally extend vertically, with a pair of separate free secondary cams. Each of the free secondary cams rotates and is placed adjacent to the vertical ends of the locking pin. The locking pin is connected to each of the free secondary cams by means of a pair of short, rotating joints.

In the secured condition of the locking pin, the driving cam and the free secondary cam are adjacent in a protruding position relative to the locking pin. In addition, the short links are placed in a relationship in the center such that they limit the rotation movement of the cams so that they do not retract the locking pin once it engages in the openings.

In response, once authorized personnel open the locking bolt, the impulse cam of the drive rotates. This causes the rotation of the free secondary cams through the long links. The rotation of the free secondary cams causes the short links to move the locking pin in an inward direction. The locking pin moves enough to disengage from the opening in the side panel with the room's firing pin allowing the door to open.

Preferably, the openings of the locking pin 46 extend through the side panel of the percussion to a position that is somehow disposed inwardly from the front surface 48 of the panel that connects or joins the opening 18. The openings for the locking bolt 46 are measured to have a size that accepts the projections in the locking pin, in the manner that will be explained below.

The hinged side panel 36 is shown in a flat view in Figure 6. The hinged side panel 3 includes holes 50 in its upper edge surface. The holes 50 have a size that accepts the projections 3 from the front panel when it is in a closed relationship. The side panel of hinges 36 also includes holes 52 in the upper edge surface and holes 54 in its lower edge surface. The holes 52 and 54, like the holes and the projections in the other panels, have a precise position size.

The side panel of hinges 36 further includes a front surface 56. The front surface 56 includes a top cut 58 and a lower cut 60. The top cut 58 is measured so that the top drawer hinge is mounted on it, which is part of the upper hinge assembly 20. The lower cut 60 is measured to mount a lower drawer hinge which is part of the lower hinge assembly.

The hinge side panel 36 further includes a plurality of openings for the dead bolt 62. Generally, the openings for the dead bolt 62 are vertically aligned and somehow arranged from the front surface 56. The openings of the dead bolt 62 have a size to accept the dead bolt projections in the door 14, in an aligned relationship that engages to close, which will be explained below. It should be noted that the hinge side panel 36 also includes an opening 64 for providing an electrical or mechanical connection to the equipment and mechanisms within the security enclosure.

The drawer portion 12 further includes an upper panel 66. The upper panel 66, as shown in Figure 7, includes projections 68 on its leading edge surface. The projections 68 are placed and measured so that they are accepted accurately within the holes 34 of the front panel. The top panel 66 further includes the projections 70. The projections 70 are measured to fit accurately into the holes 42 in the side panel of the striker 38. The top panel 66 further includes the projections 72. The projections 72 are measured to be engage precisely with the holes 52 in the side panel of hinges 36.

The upper panel 66 also includes an opening 74 to provide access between the components within the security enclosure and other ATM ATM components of which the enclosure is a part. The opening 74 in the panel 66 has access for the electrical cables communicating with the components inside the drawer. These cables are used to transmit signals that control the operation of cash and deposit mechanisms. In addition, brackets for wires other cables provide connections for alarm devices and other equipment that are housed inside the security enclosure.

The drawer portion 12 further includes a lower panel 76. The lower panel 76, shown in detail in Figure 8, includes the projections 78 is the front edge surface. The projections 78 have the size and the proper position to enter a precise relationship with the holes 35 of the front panel 28. The lower panel 7 further includes the projections 80. The projections 80 have a precise size to engage with the holes 54 of the panel. lateral of hinges 36. Lower panel 76 also includes projections 82. Projections 82 are measured to have a precise size that engages in holes 44 of the side panel of striker 38.

It should be noted that the lower panel 76 includes the access openings 84 to provide connections with the articles within the security drawer. Further. Bottom panel 76 includes four pedestal mounting openings 86. Openings for pedestal assembly 86 accept adjustable feet 88 shown in Figure 1. Adjustable feet 88 can be adjusted vertically to level and position the ATM, to which the security enclosure 10 belongs.

The assembly process of the drawer portion 12 of the security enclosure 10 is depicted graphically in Figures 9 to 13. The method for assembling the drawer portion 12, generally includes an installation 90 in Figure 9. The installation 90 includes a first support platform 92 and a second support platform 94. Preferably, support platforms 92 and 94 are disposed at an angle of 90 °. At least one of the support platforms 92 and 904 includes magnets with contact surfaces that are adjacent to the inner surfaces of the platforms 92 and / or 94. The magnets are used to support the panels of the preferred embodiment of the enclosure near of the support platforms during their manufacture. The magnets are used since the preferred embodiment of the security enclosure 10 comprises steel panels. Of course, in other embodiments other equivalent means can be used to secure the panels adjacent to the support platforms 92 and 94. These means can include any device or mechanism that is operated to hold the adjacent panel, such as, for example, cups of suction, mechanical tabs and adhesive materials.

The preferred form of attachment or installation 90 also includes a pair of side guides 96. The side guides 96 are positioned in opposite relation to the support platform 94. In the preferred embodiments of the invention, the lateral guides 96 are assembled from Mobile way in the installation. This allows to selectively place the side guides 96 from the support platform 94 at a distance that is tailored to the particular security enclosure to be made. These can be achieved by a suitable guiding mechanism such as a rotating screw that can be locked in place once it moves to the desired position. Of course, in other embodiments of the invention, the lateral guides 96 can be fixed in relation to the installation 90, in which case the installation is suitable for making only one-size security enclosures.

The installation 90 further includes a pair of upper guides 98. The upper guides 98 are similar to the side guides 96 except that they are placed in opposite relation to the support platform 92. Like the side guides 96, the upper guides 98 can be do so that they move in relation to the support platform 92, but may be fixed in the embodiments of the installation 90 that are made for a particular size.

The process to make the safety enclosure begins with the elaboration of the panels that include the desired arrangement of unique hitch projections and the holes for each of the types of ATM that will be made. The placement of the supports in installation 90 is adjusted to accommodate the particular type of enclosure. As shown in Figure 9 the panel placement begins with the placement of the front panel 28. In the installation 90 the front panel 28 is positioned such that the corner is aligned with the intersection of the support platforms 92 and 94. The side guides 96 are separated in an adjacent relationship close to the projections 32 on the front panel and the guides 98 are positioned adjacent the upper surface of the front panel including the holes 34. The front panel 28 is placed in the installation 90 of In this way, the surface of the front panel, which faces outwards when the ATM is assembled, is directed towards the underside of the installation or fixing 90. This placement can also be ensured in certain embodiments by including the projections extend from the base of the installation or fixation to the openings in the front panel properly positioned.

The next step in the method for assembling the enclosure is shown with reference to Figure 10. The lower panel 76 is positioned adjacent to the support platform 92. The lower panel 76 is positioned so that the projections 78 extend into the holes 35 of the front panel. This is possible since the size and placement of the projections and the holes is made to provide a latched latch. The lower panel 76 is held adjacent to the support platform 92 by magnets therein. Similarly, the hinge side panel 36 is placed in the installation 90 near the support platform 94. The support platform 94, thanks also to include magnets, is operative to assist in the fastening and positioning of the side panel of hinges 36. The hinged side panel 36 is placed in the installation 90 so that the holes 54 engage the projections 80 of the lower panel. Similarly, the holes 50 in the hinge side panel engage the projections 33 on the front panel 28. Again, since all the projections and the holes are positioned to engage in a precise manner, the panels can be fixed to each other only in the proper orientation.

The next step in the method for assembling the security enclosure drawer portion is shown in relation to FIG. 11. In FIG. 11, the upper panel 66 s places near the upper guides 98. The upper panel 76 s The projections 72 engage the holes 52 in the side panel of the hinge 36. Similarly, the projections 68 in the top panel 76 engage the holes 34 in the front side panel. The precise engagement ratio of the projections and the holes are operated to hold the upper panel 76 in the position of the installation 90.

The next step in the method for assembling the security enclosure drawer portion is shown in Figure 12. The side panel of the striker 38 is positioned adjacent the side guides 96. The holes 42 in the side panel of the striker 38 are engaged. with projections 70 in the upper part. Similarly, the holes 40 in the side panel of the firing pin engage with the projections 32 in the front panel. Finally, the projections 82 in the lower panel s engage with the holes 44 in the side panel of the firing pin. Again, this very precise engagement relationship between the projections and the holes ensures that the panels are properly positioned.

The next step in the method of assembling the drawer portion is shown with reference to Figure 13. An open rectangular structure 100 is placed on the front surfaces of all the panels. The structure extends both inside and outside the enclosure. The structure 100 has a size to hold the panels in their proper orientation. THE upper structure 100 together with the other components of the installation, as well as the interrelated nature of the panels, serves to hold the panels of the drawer portion in the proper position so that the panels can be welded or secured in any other way. This secured connection allows the assembly to move, for example along the assembly line, so that the welds can be achieved by automatic equipment in the precise locations necessary to secure the panels together. Even if the welding process is done manually, the safety union of the panels in the installation serves to hold the panels in the proper aligned relationship until the welding operations can be completed. Preferably, the welds are made on the interior surfaces of the panels. Once the welds are completed, the structure 100 is removed and the potion of the drawer 12 is released from the installation 90.

It should be understood that in the preferred embodiment of the invention, the panels comprising the drawer portion are made to have a unique size and place the projections and holes corresponding to the particulate type of the enclosure that is being made. These projections hooked holes ensure that only the correct panels can be assembled for the purpose of making the particular type of enclosure. In addition, the holes and projections limit assembly of the particular enclosure to a single assembly manner. This novel approach minimizes the risk that panels of different types of security enclosures, which are of similar size, are assembled together inadvertently. In addition, it reduces the waste of material and the need to redo the work as a result of the panels being assembled upside down or incorrectly.

In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the panels are manufactured by means of a precise cut, from a flat material, with a laser apparatus or any other suitable cutter. This allows an exact size cut and placement of the edges as well as the projections and holes. Preferably, the cutting apparatus operates in accordance with the programmable control system, which ensures that the panels of a particular type are virtually identical. Additionally, since the panels can be cut from a similar material, only the panels that are needed for a particular type of ATM, which is to be manufactured, are produced from a flat raw material. This minimizes the amount of material in inventory that is needed to maintain the factory.

A novel aspect of the preferred embodiment of the ATM security enclosure of the present invention is the mechanism of the lock pin 24. The mechanism for the lock pin 24 is selectively operated to allow the gate 14 to be secured in a locked position. The mechanism of the locking bolt 24 is shown in detail in Figures 14 through 17.

The mechanism of the lock pin 24 includes a lock pin 102. This pin 102 includes a plurality of projections for the pin 104. The lock pin 102 further includes a pair of elongated slots 106 and a central cut 108.

The lock pin 102 is mounted on the door 14 so as to slide in a guided relationship within the confines of the upper guide 110 and the lower guide 112.

Generally, the upper guide 110 and the lower guide 112 are "U" shaped in a cross section and surround the upper and lower ends of the tread bolt, respectively, in a saddle type relationship. The central guide 114, which generally has an "H" shape in its cross section, accepts the central cut 108 of the lock pin. The central cut extends from the outer surface attached to the pin. This assembly allows the locking pin 102 to move back and forth in the holes of the upper guide 110, the lower guide 112 and the central guide 114. Preferably, all the guides are securely attached to the door 114 by welding medium The slots 106 in the lock pin 102 accept support pins 142. The support pin extends into threaded pins in the security door 14. The support bolts further hold the lock pin 102 and allow the bolt to slide in a support relationship The support pin allows the bolt to move while being confined by the upper guide 110, the lower guide 112 and the central guide 114. This configuration provides increased resistance to attacks.

The displacement limiting pin 144 is placed in an opening in the door. The displacement limiting pin 144 is movably adjusted to limit forward movement of the door as will be discussed below.

It should be noted that the lock pin 102 further includes a guard projection 116 connected thereto. The guard projection 116 extends in opposition to the center cut 108 and behind the back surface of the security pin 102. The function of the guard projection 116 will be explained in more detail below.

The mechanism of the locking bolt 24 also includes a pair of free, rotating, separate cams. The upper, free cam 118 is mounted so as to rotate through the suitable holder with the threaded opening in a projection of the door 14. The lower free cam 120 is mounted so that it can rotate in a similar projection on the door. The driving cam 122 is connected to a handle 124. The handle 124 is attached to the shaft portion extending through the opening in the door 14 and is attached to the driving cam 122. The driving cam 122 can rotate when moving the crank 124 when the bolt is in an open condition as will be discussed below.

The door 14 also has a bolt 126 mounted thereon. Bolt 126 includes a locking bolt 128. Lock bolt 128 is a member that moves between the extended and retracted portions. The locking bolt 128 extends from the location of the bolt 127 when the bolt 126 is in a closed condition. Lock pin 128 retracts in place of the bolt when it is in the open condition. The graduated disc 130 has an axis extending therefrom. The shaft is attached to the graduated disc 130 which extends through an opening in the door 14 and towards the bolt housing 126. An ol32 ring is mounted on the exterior face of the door 14 to support and surround the graduated disk 130, In the preferred embodiment, the graduated disk 130 is a disk that is suitable for a combination to be input to the bolt 126. When the appropriate combination is recorded by means of the disk 130, the bolt can change from the closed condition (locked ) where the locking bolt 128 extends from the bolt housing, to an open (unlocked) condition in which the latch bolt is retracted.

The mechanism of the locking pin is shown in detail in Figure 15. The driving cam 122 is connected to the free, lower cam 120 by a first link or long link (Link L) 134. Similarly, the pulse cam 122 s connects to the upper free cam 118 with a second long link 136. It should be appreciated that the long links allow the upper and lower free cams to rotate in a coordinate relationship with the drive cam 122.

The lower free cam 120 is further connected to lock pin 102 by a short, lower link (Link S) 138. Similarly, the upper free cam 118 is connected to the lock pin 102 by an upper short link 140.

Now, the operation of the locking pin mechanism will be explained with reference to Figures 16 and 17. The driving lever 122 includes a cut-out 146 on its outer periphery. The cutting 146 is measured to have a size that accepts the locking bolt 128 in which the locking bolt extends. As a result, when the bolt 126 is in the closed condition this bolt 128 extends toward the cut 146, the mechanism of the lock pin 124 can not move and is secured in the position shown in Figure 16. In this position it should be noted that the projections of the lock pin 104 extend outwards. When the door is closed, the projections of the locking bolt are allowed to engage in the openings of the locking bolt 46 in the side panel of the striker 38 of the drawer portion. The engagement of the openings of the locking bolt 46 and the projections of the locking bolt 104 is shown in Figure 24. It will be noted in Figure 24 that the forward movement of the door 14 is preferably limited to the position in the which the projections of the lock pin and the openings 46 are aligned. This is achieved through the use of a firing pin platform 148 which is attached to the side panel of the firing pin. The pin 144 conforms to the exact alignment provided.

In the extended, secured position of the lock pin 102 shown in Figure 16, the free cam, top 118 and the lower free cam 120 have front surfaces q which are in a relationship adjacent to the surface of the lock pin 102. The The front surface of the pulse cam 122 and the like in the adjacent or projecting relationship with the rear surface of the lock pin. This serves to offer resistance to the movement of the locking bolt from the secured position, extended as shown in Figure 16. The configurations of the impulse cam and the free cams, which include converging side walls that extend with respect to the front surfaces, allow the cams to be placed and moved in the way that was shown and described.

It should also be noted that in the secured position of the lock pin 102 shown in Figure 16, the short links 138 and 140 extend in a relationship "above" the center "relative to the respective free cams. Above the center of the short links provides that during the initial rotation movement of any of the free cams in a direction that they have to retract the locking pin 102, the locking pin actually moves slightly more outward than inwardly. the orientation of the components will be appreciated, the rotational displacement of the free cams 118 and 120, as well as the pulse cam 122, is required before the fastening bolt retracts a significant distance. the attacks since the limited movement of the cams or links does not allow a significant movement of the locking pin towards the retracted position.

As shown in Figure 16, the configuration of the upper guide 110, the lower guide 122 and the guide 114, as well as the support pins 142, serve to hold the fastening bolt attached to the door. This also minimizes the vulnerability of the lockbolt mechanism to attacks.

It should also be noted that in the extended position of the lock pin shown in Figure 16, the guard projection 116, which is attached to the lock pin, extends, according to what is shown in Figure 15, behind the impulse cam 122. This further minimizes the vulnerability of the locking pin mechanism 24 to the attacks by means of the forces to dislodge the impulse cam 122.

As discussed above, the lock pin 102 is held in the secured position shown in Figure 16 by engaging the lock pin 128 with the outer cut 146 in the pulse cam 122. When the lock pin 128 retracts in response to the entry or registration of the correct combination, through the graduated disk 130, on the pin 126, the impulse cam 122 can rotate by means of the handle 124. The rotation of the crank 124 in the direction of the clockwise, as shown in Figure 14, rotates the pulse cam 122 counterclockwise from the position shown in Figure 16. It is counterclockwise the impulse cam moves the long link 136 in an upward direction and the long link 135 in a downward direction. This movement rotates the free cams 118 and 120 in a counter-clockwise direction. The rotation of the free cams moves the short links 138 and 140 to retract the locking pin 102 in the direction of the arrow "R" in Figure 17.

The retraction of the lock pin 102 in the direction of the arrow "R" causes the projections of the lock pin 104 to move out of the lock openings 46 in the side panel of the striker 38. This allows the door 14 to open . Of course, when it is desired to re-secure the door, it can be moved back to the closed position. In this position, the locking pin 102 can be extended again so that the projections 104 engage in the openings 46 in the side panel of the firing pin, and the bolt 126 can be changed so that the locking bolt 128 extends towards the external cut 146 in the driving cam. This will reposition the lock pin mechanism 24 in the secured position.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the mechanism of the locking pin, since they have several places to engage with the side panel, achieves a more secure locking of the door in the closed position. Additionally, the lockbolt assembly, as well as the nature of the forces applied to move the bolt, allows the bolt to move easily without bending or misalignment when bolt 126 is opened. This allows authorized personnel to quickly change the lock pin mechanism, from the secured condition to the open condition.

An additional advantage of the locking pin mechanism of the preferred embodiment is that if one or more, or even all, of the links are disconnected with the bolt in the extended position, the bolt can not be moved to the retracted position. This is because the bolt engages with the free cams and / or the thrust cam and is prevented from moving to the retracted position until the thrust cam and the free cams are properly rotated. This reduces vulnerability to attacks.

A further advantage of the preferred embodiment of the present invention is that the door 14 includes a dead bolt portion 26 that helps maintain the door in the secured position when closed. As shown in Figures 14 and 15 of the security enclosure. This includes a plurality of spaced deadbolt projections 150. The projections of dead bolt 150 extend on the hinge side of the door.

As shown in Figure 24 the projections of the dead bolt 150 are placed and measured to be accepted in the openings of the dead bolt 62 in the side panel of the hinges 36 when the door is in its closed position. As you will appreciate in Figure 24, the acceptance of dead bolt projections 150 in openings 62 provides improved safety. This is because the dead bolt allows the door to be held in the closed position even if the hinge is destroyed by an attacker or thief. As a result, the set of hinges in general can be completely removed with the door 14 in the closed position, and this still does not allow the door to open.

In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the dead bolt openings and the lock pin openings are covered with pieces extending out of the drawer portion. This also reduces the vulnerability of the security premises against attacks.

A novel aspect of the construction of the security enclosure of the preferred embodiment is achieved through the use of a hinge construction that facilitates the assembly and adjustment of the door 14 relative to the portion of the drawer 12. The novel construction of the hinge is shown in an enlarged view of the upper hinge assembly 20 shown in Figure 18. It should be noted that the upper hinge assembly 20 is preferably equal to the lower hinge assembly 22. For this reason, only one assembly The hinge will be described in detail.

The hinge assembly 20 includes a drawer hinge portion 150. The hinge portion of the drawer 150 is shown in more detail in Figures 19 and 20. The drawer hinge portion includes a portion of the alignment platform 152 and a projection 154. The projection 154 is measured for acceptance in the upper and lower cuts 58 and 60 in the side panel of the hinge. The projection 154 is configured to be easily positioned in the cuts before welding the portion of the box hinge to the panel. Preferably, the hinge welded in place in the cut on the inner surface of the panel. This avoids having welding points that are exposed on the outside of the enclosure.

The portion of the box hinge 150 further includes a hinge pin 156 extending therefrom. Preferably, the hinge pin 156 snaps securely into an opening in the body of the hinge portion of the drawer 150. The hinge pin 156 includes a hemispherical hole 158 at its upper end. The drawer hinge portion 150 further includes an annular bore 160. The annular bore 160 extends in a relationship about the pin 156 at a distance in the body from the hinge portion of the drawer 150.

The hinge assembly 20 further includes a portion of the door hinge 162. The hinge portion of the door 162 includes a center 164 extending therethrough. The center 164 includes an annular hole 166 which is generally similar in size to the annular hole 160 in the hinge portion of the drawer 150. The center 164 further includes a portion that receives the pin 168. The portion that receives the pin 168 the orifice 166 is separated by means of a radially extending annular passage 170. The center 164 further includes a threaded central portion 172.

The center 164 further includes a top access portion 174. The top portion of the center 164 includes an enlarged, covered orifice portion 176. In the preferred embodiment, the center of the hinge portion of the door is a symmetrical portion. and a top access portion 178 having the same size as the portion receiving the pin 168. Similarly, the orifice 166 is the same size as the hole 176. As a result, the hinge portion of the door 162 is suitable both for mounting on the right side and on the left.

The hinge portion of the door 162 further includes a portion that engages the door 178. The portion that engages the door 178 includes a raised projection 180. The raised projection 189 is sized to accept the openings for mounting the hinges 182 on the door 14 shown in Figure 1. The mounting openings of the hinge 182 accept the raised projections 180 and facilitate the welding of the hinge portion of the door 162 on the door 14. The portions of the door hinges are preferably mounted in the openings and welded on the inner surface of the door.

As shown in Figure 18, the set h hinges includes an outer frame or collar 184. The collar 184 is a rigid outer frame that is sized to fit both the annular hole 160 of the drawer hinge portion as well as in the annular hole 166 of the hinge portion of the door. The collar is sized so that it is easily inserted into the pin 156and in the hole. Preferably, the collar is radially spaced from the past and rotatably moves when installed. The hinge assembly of the door further includes bearings 186. The cushion 186 has a size to enter the hole 158 of the pin h of the hinge 156. The hemispherical surface of the bearing 186 s extends out of the hole when the bearing is placed in the hinge. same.

The hinge assembly further includes a threaded screw, for adjustment 188. The threaded, adjusting screw 188 s is configured to engage when moving the thread with the threaded portion 172 of the center 164 of the hinge portion of the door 162. As As a result, the adjustment screw moved axially in the center. The adjusting screw 188 includes a hemispherical concave pocket or depression for engaging a portion of the sphere 186 that extends out of the hole 158. The hinge assembly further includes a cover 190. The cover 190 serves to close the center 164 and is in a free hitch in the hole portion of the cover 176 of the hinge portion of the door 162.

The operation and installation of the hinge assembly 20 will now be discussed with reference to Figure 23. In the assembled condition of the assembly, the collar 184 extends into the annular hole 160 and 166 of the hinge portions around the hinge pin 156. The hinge pin 156 extends upwardly in the portion receiving the pin 168 of the hinge portion for the door 162. The portion receiving the hinge 168 has a diameter substantially greater than that of the hinge pin 156. This allows the hinge pin 156 to enter the portion of the pin 168 even if the pin is not perfectly coaxial with the center 164 of the hinge portion of the door 162. This construction allows the hinge portion of the door is mounted on the hinge portion of the drawer, even if the pins 156 of each of the hinge portions of the drawer are misaligned. Furthermore, this assembly is achieved even if the two portions of the door hinge 162, which are mounted first on the door 14, have some misalignment in relation to the hinge portions of the drawer, as well as to each other.

As shown in Figure 23, the bearing 186 is secured so that it is maintained in the hole 158 of the hinge pin 156. The bearing 186 further engages the concave surface of the adjusting screw 188. As can be seen, since the adjusting screw 188 is threaded in the central portion 172 of the hinge portion 162, the adjustment screw can be moved to adjust the relative vertical positions of the hinge components. This is achieved by inserting a tool through the upper access portion 188. This allows the door 14 to be selectively positioned relative to the opening 18 of the enclosure.

The lid 190 enters the portion of the cover hole 176 of the center in a free relationship. The lid 190 is installed for cosmetic purposes after the adjusting screw 188 is properly adjusted. If desired for safety or for better appearance, the lid 190 can be secured in the recess portion 176 after adjustment of the hinge.

It will be appreciated that the hinge assembly of the preferred embodiment has a significant advantage. The portions of the hinge that attach to the side panel of the enclosure hinge in the assembly process may be misaligned in some way, due to minimal inaccuracy during the manufacturing process or due to variation in materials. The portions of the hinge cooperate to join the door in the assembly process in a separate operation. The weld joint of the hinge portions of the door 162 with the door 14 can also result in some misalignment. Although the center and pins of the respective hinge portions are not aligned, the construction still allows the door to be mounted in a secure enclosure due to the separation between the hinge pin 156 and the receiving portion 168. from the center 164. The hinges can still be assembled and the door can be mounted movably in the enclosure with the weight that there is a small misalignment or misalignment of the components.

The engagement of the bearings 186 and of the concave face of the adjusting screw has a hinge assembly which does not engage despite a small misalignment. With the door mounted on the hinges, the adjusting screws 188 on the hinge assemblies can be properly positioned to move the door relative to the drawer. This allows the door to be fixed or positioned accurately within the opening 18 when the door is closed. This further allows the lock pin alignment between the openings and the dead bolt to enter the openings with the projections on the lock bolt and the door respectively. Because the loading of the door is carried by means of the pins and the adjusting screw, the collars surrounding the pins move independently in relation to the adjacent pin and door. The collars move by turning and also have a size such that a contact force is applied between the hinges through the bearing. This minimizes the risk of damage to the hinges due to an impact or blow.

A fundamental advantage of the construction of the preferred embodiment of the present invention is that the door actually allows movement in the open condition. It is not required to have the door permanently secured with the enclosure by means of the hinges. This is because when the door is in its closed position the action of the dead bolt projections and the dead bolt accepts the openings keeping the side of the door hinge secured as discussed above. This also facilitates the assembly process as it allows the hinge portions of the hinge to join the drawer and the hinge portions of the door to join the door in separate operations. During a certain service procedure, one may also wish to remove the door to access items inside the safety cabinet.

The design of the hinges and the assembly method are particularly useful when more than two hinges are used to join the door to the enclosure. The hinge portions can be slightly misaligned axially or vertically, and the door can still be easily attached and positioned.

Therefore, the novel ATM security enclosure and the method of the present invention achieve the objectives stated above, eliminating the difficulties encountered in the use of the devices and methods of the prior art, solving the problems and obtaining the desired results. described in the present.
