Abstract

The transfer system has a delivery station (7) with a passage from the safe to the vehicle (2). The protected items are packed in a self-propelled carrier (5) which runs on a rail (4) that carries power supply and guides the carrier. The track has a telescopic extension that is extended into an access door in the side of the vehicle to transfer the carrier into the vehicle.

Description

The present invention relates to a safety transport system of a

charge between an installation of

  security in a building and a cash transport vehicle parked in front of an exit station. 5 The cash transport chain enters an installation

  security and a destination facility is re-

  laterally sensitive and poorly protected, in particular at the level of load breaks, that is to say when the funds are

  transferred from the security installation to the vehicle or

payment.

  These transfers are generally made with pre-

  more or less complicated special guarantees.

  The object of the present invention is to simplify such operations, to considerably reduce the risks and

  overall increase the safety of people and operations

  rations. To this end, the invention relates to a transport system characterized by: - an exit station consisting of a passage in the building at the storage location of the vehicle which has an opening in its bodywork,

  - a guide and supply rail for a self-propelled trolley

  motor, controlled, connecting the safety installation and the exit station,

  - a telescopic rail segment terminating the guide rail

  dage at its exit end, this segment of

  rail being movable by a controlled movement between a posi-

  withdrawal position behind the passage, inside the building, and a load transfer position beyond the passage of the building,

  - as well as a control box at the free end of the seg-

  telescopic rail and a control box inside the security installation to control the

  movement of the vehicle and the telescopic rail segment.

  Such a transport system, installed for example between the security installation of a bank branch, that is to say the vault where funds are located, and a cash transport vehicle, can be done very simply. since it suffices to install a guide and supply rail allowing a self-propelled trolley to directly connect this security installation and a cash transport vehicle, stored in a waiting position in a pre-5 position at the exit station. This vehicle has an opening intended for the passage of the telescopic rail segment, carrying the carriage which thus arrives directly inside the vehicle. This operation of moving the cart and moving the telescopic rail can be done safely after recognizing the truck: the cart first passes over the telescopic segment, preferably stopping at the entrance to it, then the segment detaches from the fixed rail and advances inside the cash transport vehicle. At this time the carriage can also continue to move if

  the telescopic segment is relatively long. The order in-

  pouring movements is also possible. The contents of the cart can then be taken from the cart; then the

  carriage with telescopic rail return to the original position

  tial and the trolley eventually goes into the storage position

  security installation.

  Particularly advantageously, the rail

  can be a lift or suspension rail to receive

  see a rolling cart resting on the rail or hanging from the

  rail. The choice between one or the other of the two solutions

  depends on a number of building construction requirements, the difference in height and the possible space for installation.

  Advantageously, the telescopic rail segment

  scopique consists of a fixed support, permanently installed behind the opening of the wall of the building with a guide means and a drive means as well as a rail segment itself. The guiding means controls the guiding

  of the rail segment to ensure movement, preferably

  straight line, and the drive means controls the movement

  telescopic extension and removal of the rail.

  The installation and the self-propelled trolley are preferably driven by electric motors. We

  however, could also consider a medium installation

  pneumatic. Finally, very interestingly, and to further increase safety, the telescopic rail is re-

  covered with a hood forming a tunnel, so that the interior of the movable rail segment is only accessible from the interval between the exit from the wall passage and the entry into the vehicle. FIG. 1 schematically shows a safety transport system according to the invention,

  - Figure 2 is a schematic perspective view

  tick of an exemplary embodiment of a transport system in the initial position, - Figures 3 and 4 show the same system of

  transport as Figure 2 in two operating positions.

  According to FIG. 1, the invention relates to a system

  safety transport device intended to allow trans-

  carry a load for example a sum of money or valuables between a security installation 1 located in a building and a cash transport vehicle 2 stored at the precise location 3 in front of the exit station of the building. The safety installation 1 is for example the

vault of a bank.

  The safety transport system intended to automatically transport the load between installation 1

  and transport vehicle 2, consists of a guide rail

  dage and supply 4 for a self-propelled trolley 5. This rail provides both the guiding and the electrical supply of the self-propelled trolley 5. The rail 4 connects the security installation 1 through the building 6, up to exit station 7 consisting of a passage in the wall of the building, at

  vehicle storage location 3 2. The latter comprises

  has an opening 21 at the corresponding place, and which will be

placed opposite passage 7.

  The guide and supply rail 4 ends near the outlet station 7 by a telescopic rail segment 8 having the shape of the guide and supply rail. This

  telescopic rail segment 8 is movably mounted on a support

  port 9 so that it can translate

  tion along the double arrow A and of a determined length to come from a recessed position inside the building behind the exit station 7 into the vehicle 2 through the opening 21 of the vehicle. This segment of

  telescopic rail 8 receives the self-propelled carriage 5 then

  that the self-propelled carriage 5 is on segment 8,

  it performs its translational movement to partially penetrate the vehicle 2 while still occupying the passage from the exit station 7 to the interior of the building 6. The carriage 5 can then advance on the segment

  rail 8 to be accessible to vehicle occupants 2.

  These can pick up the load under dry conditions.

  curity. At the end of the operation, the vehicle and the telescopic rail segment return to their retracted position inside the building 6 then the rail returns to

security installation 1.

  The different truck control operations

  self-propelled and opening thereof are controlled and

  torized according to a safety procedure requiring co-

  identification, authorization and access and / or coded instructions both for controlling the movement of the

  self-propelled carriage, then that of the telescopic rail segment

  than that for the return movement. These security means are constituted by command and control stations provided in the security installation 1 and at the end of the

  telescopic rail segment to be accessible from opera-

vehicle tutors 2.

  Figures 2, 3, 4 show in more detail

  cut an example of a safety transport system according to the invention. According to FIG. 2, the installation consists of a rail 4, for example in the shape of an o, providing guidance and

  feeding a trolley 5. This trolley is fitted with a

  electric controller and a control system receiving the in-

  tructions transmitted by the supply line not shown equipping the rail 4. This supply line can be placed along and in the interior bottom of the rail

  inner edges of the rail 4. The rail 4 is carried by feet 41. It enters the safety installation 1 shown as a cham-

  security bre. This security installation is provided with an opening 11 made in the wall. Near the opening is a control cabinet 12 for controlling the transport system. This control cabinet can include a keyboard for controlling and for entering the operating code. This code can also

  enter with an access card.

  Rail 4 shown as a straight rail can have any layout depending on the space available

  between safety installation 1 and exit station 7.

  At the end of rail 4, in front of the exit station

  tie 7, is the rail segment 8, telescopic. This seg-

  rail 8 is carried by a support 9, fixed, itself carried by feet 42. This support 9 is equipped with drive means such as a motor 13 actuating the segment of

  telescopic rail 8, for example by a chain link.

  The rail preferably moves in bearings 14. At the end of the rail 8 is a control and

  control 15 intended for operators in the vehicle

  cule. In FIG. 2, the telescopic rail segment 8 is shown in the rest position and the self-propelled carriage is still in the safety installation 1. The various accessory means such as the power supply and its control cabinet are not shown in detail in these figures 2, 3, 4.

  Figure 3 shows the following operating step

  boasts: the carriage 5 is at the end of the segment of

  telescopic rail 8, opposite the exit station 7. At this time

  the motor 13 is controlled to move in a tele-

  scopic the rail segment 8 of the distance e, to penetrate the front of the rail segment 8 inside the truck (not shown in Figures 2, 3, 4), so that the carriage 5

  is then accessible to operators in the vehicle

  hicle. They carry out the planned operations,

  say the removal of the load contained in the carriage 5 or vice versa the deposit of a load in the carriage 5. These operations are carried out safely, even inside the vehicle and, to do them, the operators must

  identify themselves and enter codes authorizing them to perform

  kill these operations. These codes can be entered by the control station 15 fitted to the front of the telescopic segment

  8 and, where appropriate, a means of control and security

  rity 16 fitted to the self-propelled trolley 5.

  At the end of the operation, the telescopic segment 8 performs a reverse translation movement, controlled by the motor 13 to return to the position shown in FIG. 3. Then, the carriage returns, if necessary, to

security installation 1.

  For the sake of simplification, the rail segment

  telescopic 8 shown in Figures 2, 3, 4 is not

  mounted with a tunnel 81 (Figure 1) which protects the rail and the carriage which are above it and does not allow access in any way, in

  the interval which must necessarily remain between the vehicle

cule 2 and wall 16 of the building.

  In the embodiment shown in fig.

  gures, the self-propelled trolley 5 is a trolley placed on the rail 4. It is also possible to carry out the installation

  with a rail for a hanging trolley.
