Abstract

Abstract In a money till with a box-shaped housing (10), whose upper side is partially closed by a stationary cover (12) and partially closed by a lid (16), the lid includes two lid parts (18, 20) connected with one another about a pivot axis (22), the first lid part (18) which is closer to the stationary cover (12) being guided for sliding movement parallel to the stationary cover (12), whereas the second lid part (20) is connected with at least one guide element (34) which, at a radial spacing from the pivot axis (22), is engaged with a cam curve (36) so that upon a sliding of the lid (16) the second lid part (20) is pivoted between a closed position and an open position.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 178 words
A money till with a box shaped housing whose upper side is partially closed by a stationary cover and partially closed by a lid, which lid in the area of its side edges is movable on the housing side walls and pivotal about an axis extending perpindicular to the side walls, and which lid upon opening of the till is movable at least partially under the stationary cover, characterized in that the lid (16) includes two lid parts (18, 20) pivotally connected with one another, the first lid part (18) which is located closer to the stationary cover (12) being guided for sliding movement on the housing side wall (24) parallel to the stationary cover (12), with the second lid part (20) being connected with at least one guide element (34) which at a radial spacing from the pivot axis (22) is engaged with a cam curve (36) in one housing side wall (24) so that upon a sliding of the lid (16) the second lid part (20) is pivoted between a closed position and an open position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 178 words
A money till with a box shaped housing whose upper side is partially closed by a stationary cover and partially closed by a lid, which lid in the area of its side edges is movable on the housing side walls and pivotal about an axis extending perpindicular to the side walls, and which lid upon opening of the till is movable at least partially under the stationary cover, characterized in that the lid (16) includes two lid parts (18, 20) pivotally connected with one another, the first lid part (18) which is located closer to the stationary cover (12) being guided for sliding movement on the housing side wall (24) parallel to the stationary cover (12), with the second lid part (20) being connected with at least one guide element (34) which at a radial spacing from the pivot axis (22) is engaged with a cam curve (36) in one housing side wall (24) so that upon a sliding of the lid (16) the second lid part (20) is pivoted between a closed position and an open position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 53 words
A money till according to claim 1 further characterized in that the guide element (34) is formed by a stud, which stud is associated with a bracket (32) connected with the second lid part (20) and which stud is engaged with the cam curve forming guide slot (36) in the housing side (24).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 74 words
A money till according to claim 1 further characterized in that the cam curve (36) has a first section (38) extending parallel to the housing bottom (30) and following the first section a second section bent towards the housing bottom (30), the spacing of the first section (38) from the rail guide (28) for the first lid part (18) being smaller than the spacing of the guide element (34) from the pivot axis (22).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 74 words
A money till according to claim 2 further characterized in that the cam curve (36) has a first section (38) extending parallel to the housing bottom (30) and following the first section a second section bent towards the housing bottom (30), the spacing of the first section (38) from the rail guide (28) for the first lid part (18) being smaller than the spacing of the guide element (34) from the pivot axis (22).
