Device for depositing money and valuable objects

Claim 3

A device according to claim 1, characterized in that prior to inserting an object a slide (a) must be raised against a spring tension (v1) so as to clear the insert opening (c), with said slide (a) being coupled a first slide (f) sealing off the entrance to the examination chamber in the rest position and clearing said entrance against a spring tension (v2) when said slide (a) is raised, and a second slide (g) leaving the exit of said examination chamber open in the rest position and sealing off said exit against spring tension (v3) when slide (a) is raised, a photocell-lamp combination mounted in said examination chamber realizing the energizing of a first yoke (h), said yoke cooperating with said first slide (f) of said entrance of said examination chamber and blocking said slide in the open position when slide (a) is raised, a time switch (j) connected to said first slide (f) and including a built-in time constant being actuated, said switch retaining a crank lever (m) against a spring tension (v4), said crank lever cooperating with said second slide (g) of the exit of said examination chamber.

Claim 4

A device according to claim 2, characterized in that after an object has been inserted the slide (a) is released to close the opening (c) under the influence of the spring pressure (v1) and, after the object has arrived in said examination chamber and the light beam on said photocell is interrupted, said yoke (h) is de-energized, as a result of which the blocking of said first slide (f) in the open position is cancelled and said slide (f) seals off the feed opening by the spring tension (v2), after which said yoke (h) blocks said slide (f) in the closed position under the influence of a spring tension (v5), in this position said slide (f) blocking said slide (a) in the closed position, said slide (f) entraining said time switch, as a result of which the crank lever (m) blocks the slide (g) in the closed position under the influence of the spring tension (v4), after which the object is examined in the closed examination chamber as to its temperature and in the case of a positive result (normal temperature) a temperature-responsive circuit remains inactivated while said time switch slowly expels a control means (1), after expiration of the delay time said switch urging said crank lever (m) in the rest position against the spring tension (v4) so as to cancel the blocking of said slide (g) in the closed position and said slide (g) releasing the exit of said examination chamber under the influence of the spring tension (v3), after which said object can leave said examination chamber.

Claim 5

A device according to claim 3, characterized in that in the case of a negative result of the temperature examination (too high a temperature) a current circuit is opened by means of a temperature-responsive element, as a result of which a second yoke (i) is de-energized and said yoke blocks said slide (g) in the closed position under the influence of a spring tension (v6), after restoration of the normal temperature of the object in said examination chamber, which is closed on both sides, said current circuit being closed again so as to energize said yoke (i) and said yoke is withdrawn against the spring tension (v6) and the blocking of said slide (g) in the closed position is cancelled.

Claim 6

A device according to claim 3, characterized in that due to failure of the operating voltage and/or due to failure of the lamp emitting the light beam on said photocell, the release of said entrance to said examination chamber is prevented by slide (f) and said slide (a) is blocked in the closed position.
