It has often happened with self-collectors that it is robbed of its content became. For example, when the drawer is pulled out from below, through the Drawer opening by means of bent wires or other tools that are in the self-seller stacked goods taken out piece by piece. It has also happened that a drawn empty sleeve is placed back in the drawer and with this was pushed back into the self-seller. The next user of the self seller then only receives the empty case after inserting the coin and is damaged in this way.

The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks. This is because of this achieves that when the goods drawer is pulled out and the goods are removed, one in the self-seller housing is automatically movable attached gate valve falls down on the empty drawer and through a spring-loaded locking bolt is held in its position until after When the drawer is fully pushed in, a release device is attached to the latter brings the locking bolt out of action and returns the gate valve to its original position raises. The gate valve falling onto the empty drawer opens the drawer to the outside completely closed, so that a

It is impossible for unauthorized persons to remove the goods piled up in the self-checkout machine is.

In the drawing, the subject of the invention in Fig. Ι to 4 is schematically in a Embodiment illustrated in four different operating positions.

In Fig. Ι the drawer α is shown with a product package b lying on it in the rest position, ie in the completely pushed-in position. Above the drawer α , the gate valve d, e is mounted like a lever in the housing of the self-cashier so that it can rotate around the bolt c, the two lateral rails d of which are connected to one another at the front by a full plate e. If the drawer a with the goods package b is pulled out of the cashier and brought into the position according to Fig. 2, the full walls of the fork-like gate valve d, e slide along the top of the goods package b . A pawl g attached to the rear end f slides over a rack h firmly connected to the drawer α and allows it to be pulled out unhindered, but prevents it from being pushed back prematurely. As soon as the goods package b has now been removed by the buyer with the drawer α pulled out, the gate valve d, e automatically falls down onto the empty drawer α by means of its own weight (Fig. 3). One under the pressure of the spring i

Locking bolt k comes into engagement with one of the teeth attached to the rear end / of the gate valve and holds the gate valve d, e immovably in its new position. The full wall e of the gate valve is almost flush with the wall m of the self-cashier, so that it is impossible to get into the interior of the self-cashier by means of any instrument at about the point η (Fig. 3) and to remove the stacked parcels of goods piece by piece.

When the drawer α is pushed back in again, the pawl g slides along the rack h of the drawer α , since it has come into the raised position shown in Fig. 3 when the gate valve fell down. without preventing it from being pushed back. As soon as the drawer α is almost completely pushed in as shown in Fig. 4, an angular stop 0 attached to it comes into contact with the locking bolt k and, against the action of the spring i, disengages it from the corresponding tooth of the rack I of the gate valve. As a result, the latter can move freely again. A stop p, which is also attached to the angular release device 0, comes into contact shortly after the locking slide has been unlocked with an inclined cam q attached to the side of the latter, whereby when the drawer is fully inserted, the locking slide d, e in the direction of the arrow r around its Pivot point c is pivoted. The drawer and gate valve have now returned to their starting position according to Fig. 1, so that the drawer is again ready to receive a package b from the stack above it.

As can be seen from the above, with the device described, on the one hand, when the gate valve d, e falls onto the drawer after it has been emptied, robbing the self- cashier and, on the other hand, by means of the pawl g , premature pushing back of the S drawer α is impossible. Namely, if there is still a packet of goods b on the drawer a and the gate valve is in the raised position (Fig. 2), the pawl g is held so low that, when you try to push the drawer back into the cashier, it goes into one the teeth of the rack h are firmly engaged. As a result, the front end e of the gate valve is pressed firmly onto the parcel b and thus prevents the drawer α from being pushed in. As a result, it is also impossible to push a drawn, empty sleeve that has been placed back in the drawer back into the self-cashier with it and thereby damage the next user of the self-cashier.

Claims (5)

Patent claims: i. Device for preventing the robbery of self-checkers with a pull-out goods drawer, characterized in that the drawer opening closed by the handle of the latter when the drawer is pushed in and the drawer (a) is pulled out automatically after removal of the package of goods (&) lying on it on the empty drawer. falling gate valve {d, e) is closed, which is held in its position by a spring-loaded locking bolt (k) until, after the drawer has been completely pushed in, a release device (0) attached to the latter makes the locking bolt (k) ineffective brings the front part of the gate valve (d, e) back to its starting position. 2. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that at the rear end (/) of the designed as a double lever gate valve (d, e, /) arranged pawl (g) in such a way with a permanently connected to the drawer (a) rack (K ) cooperates in that it allows the drawer to be pulled out, but prevents the drawer provided with a packet of goods (V) from being pushed back prematurely and only allows the latter to be pushed back when the packet of goods has been removed. 3. Apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that by the engagement of the rear end (/) of the gate valve (d, e) mounted pawl (g) in the rack (h) of the drawer (a) when attempting to push back the the latter, the front end (e) of the gate valve is pressed firmly against the goods (b), thereby preventing it from being pushed back. 4. Apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that by the falling of the gate valve (d, e) on the empty drawer, the pawl (g) is raised so far that when the drawer (a) is pushed back over the rack (h) the latter slides away and allows it to be pushed back. 5. Apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that towards the end of the 582205 When the drawer (ß) is pushed back, the release device (o) attached to the latter comes into contact with a lateral inclined cam (q) of the gate valve (d, e) after the locking bolt (k) has been pushed back by means of a stop (p) arranged on it, and thereby swings it back to its starting position around its pivot point (c) and holds it in this position.
