DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(5) According to what illustrate the above-mentioned figures, this invention patent, “MANUAL CASH CASSETTE TROLLEY”, is defined by a manual trolley 1 developed from a tubular structure, which is divided into two portions orthogonal to each other, with a main vertical portion 2 and a base horizontal portion 2a, wherein said main vertical portion 2 is composed of two vertical tubular elements 3 equidistant and positioned parallel to each other, wherein said tubular elements 3 present, in their lower ends, a single tubular connecting element or spindle 4, which is bilaterally faced by larger casters 5.

(6) Both tubular elements 3 of the main vertical portion 2 have small orthogonal 6 and posterior extensions, in addition to stoppers 7, the extensions positioned in the central and extreme portions of said tubular elements 6 and the stoppers 7 positioned in the central portion only.

(7) The small extensions 6 receive each a tubular connecting element or spindle 4 in its internal faces and a smaller castor 5a in each of its external faces.

(8) Among the larger casters 5 positioned inferiorly and the smaller casters 5a positioned centrally or intermediately, the other portion 2a of this structure is positioned horizontally and orthogonal to the main vertical portion 2.

(9) This horizontal portion 2a of the trolley 1 has a “U” shape and receives bilateral plates 8 of connection reinforcement of said trolley 1.

(10) Furthermore, said horizontal portion 2a of the structure also receives bilateral tubular elements 9 in the form of right triangles, i.e., each of these bilateral tubular elements has an extreme section 9a orthogonal to the horizontal structure, extending diagonally 9b until the point the main vertical portions 2 of the structure meet the horizontal portion 2a.

(11) Finally, the external and shorter section 10 of said horizontal portion 2a of the structure of the manual cash cassette trolley (1) presents a handle element 11, which facilitates the movement of the manual cash cassette trolley (1).

(12) Usually, cash is arranged on cassettes and each group of said cassettes is packed in a box made of thermoplastic material, called “unit” 12.

(13) At first, the “unit” 12 is filled with the cassettes full of cash and the employee manually packs the “unit” 12 on the manual cash cassette trolley 1, which is moved by the employee/security guard of the company up to the armored car CF.

(14) When arriving at the side door of the armored car CF to pack the “units” 12, the casters 5 and 5a are positioned as follows: first, the larger casters 5 move the trolley 1 to the side door of the armored car. Then, the intermediate casters 5a are positioned aligned in the mirror of the second step and, when manually tilted into said armored car, the smaller intermediate casters 5a touch the floor of the first step, while the smaller and extreme casters 5a rest on the floor of the third step, or on the internal floor of the armored car.

(15) At this moment, when both pairs of smaller casters 5a rest on the surfaces of the armored car, the employee/security guard raises the trolley 1 through its handle 11, positioning said trolley 1, thus removing the larger casters 5 from the floor.

(16) Finally, it is enough for said employee/security guard to push the trolley 1 into the armored car CF, positioning it properly for transportation.

(17) When arriving at the place where the self-service terminals are located, the employee/security guard pulls, through the handle 11, the manual cash cassette trolley 1, so that it tilts until the larger casters 5 touch the floor and said employee/security guard can move the trolley 1 with the “units” 12 having the cassettes to the self-service terminals in order to supply each one of them.

(18) Although the invention is detailed herein, it is important to understand that its embodiments are not limited to the details and steps described herein. The invention is capable of other embodiments and can be made or performed in a variety of ways. It should be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of description and not limitation.
