DESCRIPTION

Vending Machine Safety Housing

Technical field of the invention

The present invention corresponds to the technical field of vending machines and the security thereof, specifically to a safety casing for the protection of said vending machine.

Background of the Invention

Nowadays there is a proliferation of establishments dedicated to gambling, which added to the traditional casinos, bingos and the like, have increased the number of venues where games of chance are carried out that move large amounts of money.

In these places there are some vending machines for coins or tokens, which are usually an easy target for thieves and friends of others.

The same occurs with vending machines for other existing products in other types of establishments, which can be very varied, such as groceries, beverages, tobacco, lottery tickets ...

All these machines have always been subject to theft and vandalism, but in addition, those found inside gaming halls have the additional drawback that these premises are usually illuminated in a very controlled way and these machines are usually installed in areas with an intensity of light quite reduced.

This makes them even more attractive to open them and remove the interior content of them.

One of the weak points of the vending machines currently in existence are the hinges, as thieves take advantage of the spaces between them to introduce the tools with which they pry and break them.

Given the importance of these machines for the sector and the increase in salons, premises and establishments that use them, it is necessary to find a safe solution for them, to avoid continuous theft and the losses that they entail.

Description of the Invention

The safety casing for vending machine, where said vending machine has an orthohedron shape with two front and rear faces, two sides and two upper and lower bases, where the front face is connected to a side face by means of first hinged means that are here presents, comprises an orthopedic body with a front face arranged in correspondence with the front face of the vending machine, a rear face, two sides and two upper and lower bases, all of such dimensions that they configure a hollow interior space suitable for containing the Vending machine.

The front face of the casing has an open access space to the front face of the vending machine. Likewise, the front face of the housing is connected to one of the sides thereof in the intersection corner between the two, by means of second hinged means of greater dimension than the first hinged means.

These second hinged means are arranged adjoining along said corner such that between every two consecutive second hinged means the gap is zero.

According to another aspect, the body of this security housing is formed by a first outer layer of steel and a second layer of rubber, rubber or similar material.

The vending machine safety casing proposed here provides a significant improvement in the state of the art.

This is so because a safety casing is achieved that completely protects the vending machine, wrapping it and providing externally to it, the necessary resistance so that improper access is not possible.

Thanks to the fact that the hinged media are more robust than the traditional ones and, above all, that they are arranged adjacent to each other in such a way that they do not form gaps Among them, it is possible to eliminate any possibility of introducing tools that can be used as levers to destroy them.

Another additional advantage of this casing is that it is made by means of an outer layer of steel and an inner layer of rubber, rubber or similar material.

When presenting this inner layer, in the event that it is intended to open the security casing with a torch, it melts and begins to emit black smoke that prevents visibility and makes breathing difficult, so thieves are forced to stop in his attempted robbery.

Likewise, if it were a matter of accessing the interior of the housing by means of an electric saw or similar tool, said second layer remains stuck to the blade thereof, again preventing theft from being carried out successfully.

Therefore, a very effective, practical and simple security casing is obtained, which will prevent access to the vending machine in any of the ways known and used by thieves.

Detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention

In view of the figures provided, it can be seen how in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the safety casing (1) for vending machine (2), where said vending machine (2) has an orthohedron shape with two front faces (2.1) and rear, two laterals and two upper and lower bases, where the front face (2.1) is connected to a lateral face (2.2) by means of the first hinged means proposed here, comprising an orthohedral body with a front face ( 1.1), a rear face (1.2), two sides (1.3) and two upper and lower bases (1.4, 1.5), all of such dimensions that they configure a hollow interior space (3) suitable to contain the vending machine (2) .

As shown in Figure 3, the front face (1.1) of the casing (1) has an open space (4) for access to the front face (2.1) of the vending machine (2) and is connected to one side ( 1.3) of the body in the corner of intersection between the two by means of second hinged means (5) of greater dimension than the first hinged means.

Said second hinged means (5), as shown in Figure 2, are arranged adjacently along said corner such that between every two second consecutive hinged means (5) the gap is zero.

On the other hand, the body of the casing (1) is formed by a first outer layer of steel and a second layer of rubber, rubber or similar material.

In this preferred embodiment of the invention, as shown in Figure 1, the rear face (1.2) of the orthopedic body of the casing (1) is open and, the casing (1) comprises means for fixing the two sides to a wall, perpendicular to it. In this way, the housing (1) is fixed to the wall without the possibility of changing its location.

Likewise, in this preferred embodiment of the invention, the lower base (1.5) of the casing (1) is open.

The described embodiment constitutes only an example of the present invention, therefore, the specific details, terms and phrases used herein are not They are to be construed as limiting, but are to be understood only as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis providing an understandable description as well as sufficient information to the person skilled in the art to apply the present invention.
