CONTAINER FOR RECEIVING VOUCHERS AND METHOD FOR CLOSING CONTAINER HAVING A HOUSING PART AND A COVER FOR RECEIVING VOUCHERS

摘要

The invention relates to a container (10) for holding notes of value, which comprises a housing part (12) and a cover (14) for closing an opening of the housing part (12). The cover (14) has a closing element (34) which is movable in at least one unlocking direction (P1) and which in a locked state is engaged with an engagement area (48) of the housing part (12) that is complementary to the closing element (34). The closing element (34) is movable in unlocking direction (P1) into an unlocked state for unlocking. Further, the container (10) comprises a rotatably mounted retaining element (58) which, in a first position of the container (10), is arranged such that the closing element (34) is movable in unlocking direction (P1) from the locked state into the unlocked state for unlocking. In a second position of the container (10) that is inclined by at least a minimum angle of inclination with respect to the first position, the retaining element (58) is rotated due to its gravity relative to the housing part (12) such that a retaining area (64) of the retaining element (58) prevents a movement of the closing element (34) from the locked state into the unlocked state.
