DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0031] One preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings for illustrating the structural assembly, the technical means and the functions to be achieved by the present invention; and the actual ratios and the arrangement of components shall not be limited by the ratios and the arrangement of components in the provided figures.

[0032] Please refer from FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, wherein FIG. 1 is a perspective exploded view according to the present invention; FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the assembly according to the present invention; FIG. 3 is a cross sectional view showing the assembly according to the present invention; FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the banknote machine gate being opened according to the present invention; FIG. 5 is a schematic view showing the banknote case being pulled and pushed according to one embodiment of the present invention; and FIG. 6 is a bottom perspective view showing the banknote machine gate being closed according to the present invention. An improved closing structure of a banknote machine is disclosed according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention. The improved closing structure of the banknote machine includes: a banknote machine 1, having a lateral plate 11 at a lateral side thereof, wherein a front end of the lateral plate 11 has an opening 100 (as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3), a front portion of the banknote machine 1 is formed with an accommodation space 10 allowing a banknote case 5 to be disposed in or taken out and a front end thereof is corresponding to the opening 100 of the banknote machine 1 (as shown in FIG. 5); a banknote machine gate 2, disposed at the opening 100 at the front end of the banknote machine 1, wherein an adjacent side of the lateral plate 11 at the lateral side of the banknote machine 1 and the banknote machine gate 2 is provided with at least one hinge 3 allowing the banknote machine gate 2 to be opened or closed, a lower portion of the banknote machine gate 2 is disposed with a bottom plate 21, one side of the bottom plate 21 defined being towards the banknote machine gate 2 connecting to the hinge 3 is extended with a protruding extension part 211, a top end of the protruding extension part 211 is disposed with a fastening column 212, a rear end of the bottom plate 21 is extended to a front portion at a bottom end of the opening 100 of the banknote machine 1 (as shown in FIG. 6), thereby enhancing the safety and increasing the difficulty of being broken; according to this embodiment, the fastening column 2 of the protruding extension part 211 is formed as a vertical fastening column, but what shall be addressed is that the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned arrangement, the lateral plate 11 adjacent to the banknote machine 1 is disposed with a fastening column 12, at least one tension spring 4 (as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3) is connected to the fastening column 12 of the lateral plate 11 and the fastening column 212 of the protruding extension part 211, according to this embodiment, the fastening column 12 disposed on the lateral plate 11 of the banknote machine 1 is formed as a horizontal fastening column, but what shall be addressed is that the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned arrangement, and the banknote machine gate 2 can be prevented from folding back after being opened via a pulling force provided by the tension spring 4.

[0033] When the present invention is in use, the banknote machine gate 2 is in an opened status, and the hinge 3 can be served as a rotation shaft for allowing the banknote machine gate 2 to rotate, a torque and a storing recovery force (as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3) with a displaced angle is generated due to a prolonged distance of the tension spring 4 which is in a pulled status and disposed on the fastening column 12 of the lateral plate 11 and the fastening column 212 of the protruding extension part 211, as such, when the banknote machine gate 2 is opened in an angle, the banknote machine gate 2 can be automatically opened due to the tension spring 4 being recovered, so that the operation is labor saving, and the banknote machine gate 2 can be immediately positioned and fully opened at a location close to the lateral plate 11, and a distance defined between the fastening column 12 of the lateral plate 11 and the fastening column 212 of the protruding extension part 211 is shortened for enabling the tension spring 4 to be recovered and shortened for being in an initial (not operating) status, as shown in FIG. 4; accordingly, the banknote machine gate 2 can be prevented from folding back after being opened due to the action force provided by the tension spring 4, thus the banknote case 5 can be pulled or pushed by a single hand of a user without a need of the banknote machine gate 2 being held by the other hand of the user, thereby allowing the banknote case 5 to be pulled or pushed for replacement in a convenient and labor saving means (as shown in FIG. 5), sharp edges of the opening 100 of the banknote machine 1 or sharp edges of the banknote machine gate 2 can be prevented from hurting the user, thereby increasing the safety and preventing danger from happening; when the banknote machine gate 2 is desired to be closed, an external force is applied and the hinge 3 is served as a rotation shaft, so that the fastening column 212 of the protruding extension part 211 is able to generate a displacement, the tension spring 4 connected to the fastening column 12 of the lateral plate 11 and the fastening column 212 is formed in a stretched status for storing the recovery force, at this moment, the banknote machine gate 2 is closed with the opening 100 of the banknote machine 1, thus an affection applied to the banknote machine gate 2 due to the recovery force of the tension spring 4 is very small, thereby preventing the banknote machine gate 2 from being opened (as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3).

[0034] As such, according to the present invention, with the fastening column 12 disposed on the lateral plate 11 at one side of the banknote machine 1 and the bottom plate 21 and the protruding extension part 211 and the fastening column 212 correspondingly disposed on the banknote machine gate 2, and the tension spring 4 being connected to the fastening column 12 of the lateral plate 11 and the fastening column 212 of the protruding extension part 211; the tension spring 4 is stretched when the banknote machine gate 2 is closed, when the banknote machine gate 2 is opened, the recovery force applied by the tension spring 4 enables the banknote machine gate 2 to be positioned, fastened and fully opened, thereby increasing the operation safety and the operation convenience, and the user can be prevented from being hurt by the sharp edges of the opening 100 of the banknote machine 1 and the sharp edges of the banknote machine gate 2 when replacing the banknote case 5, thereby lowering the possibility of being in danger. Accordingly, the present invention is novel and more practical in use comparing to prior.

[0035] Many modifications and other embodiments of the inventions set forth herein will come to mind to one skilled in the art to which these inventions pertain having the benefit of the teachings presented in the foregoing descriptions and the associated drawings.
