The documents US 2005/173515 A1 and US 5,689,243 A describe cash boxes with an integrated detection unit for detecting the opening of the lid of the cashbox.

It is an object of the invention to provide a device for receiving notes of value and a device for indicating the opening of an opening of a main body of a cash cassette closing lid, in which an unauthorized opening of a lid can be determined in a simple manner and which are simple and inexpensive.

This object is achieved by a device having the features of claim 1 and by an arrangement having the features of the further independent Claim 14 solved. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

By providing a display unit and a control unit which, at least when the sensor has detected an unauthorized opening of the lid, controls the display unit such that the display unit displays information about the opening of the lid, it is achieved that the function of the physical seal, namely the display of the unauthorized Opening the lid is replaced by the display unit and the control unit. Thus, can be dispensed with a physical seal. In this way, a kind of electronic seal is formed, which indicates the seal breakage. Thus, a new physical seal does not have to be provided after each opening of the lid. The electronic seal has no wear parts that must be replaced each time you open the lid. Thus, a simple, inexpensive construction is achieved and simplifies handling.

By displaying information about opening the lid is also understood that a previously displayed information is no longer or only partially displayed. The lid is connected in particular hinged to the base body.

In particular, the sensor comprises a switch, preferably a microswitch, which is actuated by the lid when the lid is opened and / or when the lid is closed. In particular, when the lid is closed and / or opened by the switch, a previously opened circuit is closed or a previously closed circuit is opened. Alternatively or additionally, other sensors for detecting the opening of the lid may be provided.

The device for receiving notes of value is, in particular, a cash box in which notes of value, preferably bank notes, can be received. The control unit controls the display unit in particular such that it indicates the opening of the lid immediately after the opening of the lid. This ensures that the seal breakage of the electronic seal, so the opening of the lid, is displayed immediately and thus perceptible to anyone.

One aspect of the invention relates to a device for indicating the opening of a cover closing an opening of a base body of a cashbox, the device comprising a sensor which can be fastened to the base body and the cover for detecting the opening of the cover and a display unit. A control unit controls the display unit, at least when the sensor has detected an unauthorized opening of the lid, in such a way that the display unit displays information about the opening of the lid. By this device also an electronic seal is formed, which can replace a physical seal. Unauthorized opening of the lid is visibly visible to the user via the device and it is not necessary to provide a physical seal, which after each Open must be replaced. In particular, a retrofit solution is formed by this device, with the cash boxes that do not have such an electronic seal, can be retrofitted.

This retrofit solution comprises, in particular, a first closure element which can be fastened to a cover and a second closure element which is designed to be complementary to the first closure element and can be fastened to the base body. Between the first and the second closure element, a detachable and resealable connection can be formed, the sensor detecting an opening of the lid in dependence on the release of this connection. The connection is designed in particular in the form of a push button, the release of which is detected by the sensor, so that the opening of the cover can be detected upon release of the connection between the closure elements. The detection can take place, on the one hand, by detecting the release itself, and, on the other hand, by determining that the connection between the two closure elements is no longer present. Between the closure elements in particular a clip and / or latching connection is formed.

The sensor of the retrofit solution comprises in particular a switch, preferably a microswitch, and / or a capacitive sensor. In particular, when the lid is closed and / or opened by the switch, a previously opened circuit is closed or a previously closed circuit is opened. Alternatively or additionally, other sensors for detecting the opening of the lid may be provided. The switch and / or the capacitive sensor are integrated in particular in the clip and / or latching connection that can be formed between the closure elements.

Furthermore, it is advantageous if the retrofit solution comprises an energy storage unit for supplying the display unit, the control unit and / or the sensor with electrical energy. This ensures that the retrofit solution does not have to be connected to an energy storage unit of that cash box to which the retrofit solution is attached, but works independently of the cashbox. It is particularly advantageous if a rechargeable energy storage unit is used, so that when the energy storage unit is emptied, it can be recharged and does not have to be disposed of. In particular, batteries and / or accumulators are used as the energy storage unit.

Such a symbol can be easily visually detected by a person handling the device. Furthermore, such a symbol can also be detected with good machine readability, so that the unauthorized opening of the lid, that is the "break" of the electronic seal, can be detected by machine. Furthermore, the use of such a symbol has the advantage that this symbol can be understood internationally regardless of the language.

Additionally or alternatively, the information may include a machine-readable code, in particular a barcode. This bar code replaces and / or corresponds in particular to that bar code which was previously applied to the physical seal and which could be read out by machine.

Furthermore, at least part of the information displayed by the display unit can be displayed in plain text, in particular readable by an operator. Thus, it is achieved that the unauthorized opening of the lid can be perceived by an operator, without the operator having to resort to mechanical means for reading a machine-readable code. Thus, in case of unauthorized opening of the lid can be reacted quickly. In particular, the word "seal break" and / or a corresponding pictogram is displayed on the display unit, so that, as in the case of a physical seal, the unauthorized opening can easily be perceived as a seal break of the electronic seal. In this way, the known perception of a seal breakage of the physical seals is also implemented in the electronic seal, so that no major change is necessary for the operators of the device.

It is advantageous if the device comprises a memory element in which data with information about the detection of the unauthorized opening of the lid are stored. The data can, when the cashbox is accommodated in a device for handling cash boxes, in particular in a so-called docking station, be read out by machine, so that the unauthorized opening promptly, in addition to the display via the display unit, can be detected and possibly penalized.

In the cashbox, the data and / or information about the opening are stored in particular in a memory element which is already provided in the cashbox, so that no separate memory element for the function of the electronic seal must be provided. Alternatively, a separate memory element may be provided in which those data are stored that were previously printed on the physical seal. On the other hand, in the retrofit solution, a separate memory element of its own is provided, so that no data transmission connection to a possible memory element of the cashbox to which the retrofit solution is attached must be established.

After the lid has been closed, preferably data with information for uniquely identifying the closure of the lid, in particular an identification number, is stored in the memory element. In this way, the closure cycle can be identified and it is ensured that the cashbox was not opened unauthorized and then re-closed. For this purpose, in particular an identification number is used, the is unique, so that in each case a new identification number is awarded when re-closing the lid.

The display unit preferably displays the information until the device is received in a docking station. In the retrofit solution, taking the device into the docking station means in particular that the cashbox to which the retrofit solution is attached is received in the docking station. The corresponding display of the information ensures that this is also displayed as long as it can be read out by the docking station by machine and / or can be perceived by an operator inserting the device into the docking station.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the display unit displays the information until deactivation information has been entered via an input unit. This ensures that, in the case of an unauthorized opening of the lid, this is also consciously perceived by an operator who then inputs the deactivation information. The input takes place in particular via an input unit of a device for Handling cash cassettes, in particular a docking station, a rack or an ATM.

In particular, the displayed information includes information for uniquely identifying the cashbox or cashbox to which the retrofit solution is attached. In particular, in this embodiment, the information shown comprises a machine-readable code having a sequence of digits comprising a first part for uniquely identifying the device and a second part over which the unauthorized opening of the cover is indicated. In this way, both the identification information and the seal break can be displayed in a simple and compact form.

In addition, the display unit may display information about the origin of the device, destination information, and / or an order number. The display of this information can again be done as a machine-readable code and / or in plain text. The machine-readable code is in particular a barcode. The display of this information and the display of the information of the unauthorized opening of the lid can be done simultaneously and / or at preset time intervals alternately via the display unit.
