Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electoral ballot box. In particular, it will find its application in public places during elections to collect ballot papers.
  • the main purpose of the present invention is to present an electoral ballot box perfectly suited to the current market which wants an economical product that is easy to transport and store.
  • the present invention recommends as basic materials the use of a flat product such as a sheet of cardboard or other light laminated material which will be cut and folded so as to form an electoral ballot box.
  • the ballot box of the present invention is foldable.
  • the electoral ballot box of the present invention when not in use, is in the form of a flat product which can very easily be stored in a small volume and which in addition can be transported easily in particular because of its lightness.
  • Another object of the present invention is to present an electoral ballot box which presents all the guarantees allowing the finding of violation.
  • the ballot box intended to receive ballot papers which comprises a lower chest surmounted by a cover having a slot is characterized in that the cover is shaped by folding a flat sheet which has locking means on the chest.
  • the present invention relates to an electoral ballot box intended to receive ballot papers.
  • the above-mentioned faults mean that wooden urns are currently ill-suited to the market.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to offer a product which meets safety requirements, which is easy to use, store, move and which, moreover, is considerably lower in cost compared to elements in carpentry.
  • Figure 1 shows schematically the ballot box 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • a parallelepiped shape has been adopted for reasons of manufacturing convenience, however other geometric shapes can be envisaged without departing from the scope of the present invention, in particular a rounded shape can perfectly be produced.
  • the electoral ballot box 1 is formed of a lower chest 2 surmounted by a cover 3.
  • the lower chest is of the traditional type, that is to say that it has no particular cut or shape.
  • a sheet of folded flat material is used to make the lower chest 2.
  • a sheet of cardboard or light laminate is perfectly suited for this purpose.
  • the cover 3 has a slot 4 for the introduction of ballot papers. According to the invention, this cover 3 is shaped by folding a sheet flat. As with the lower box 2, a sheet of cardboard or the like is recommended as the basic material.
  • the difficulty lies in the particular folding that the base sheet must undergo to form the cover 3 which will have to present all the security guarantees concerning the vote.
  • the electoral ballot box 1 when the electoral ballot box 1 is closed, its internal volume must be hermetic to handling, no ballot paper having to be able to enter elsewhere than through the slot 4 or fraudulently leave the ballot box.
  • the cover 3 has locking means on the lower chest 2. These locking means cause any violation of the ballot box 1 to mark the latter in an indelible manner, subsequent measures can then be taken.
  • FIG. 2 represents in section view the positioning of the cover 3 on the rim 5 of the lower boot 2.
  • the locking is in the form of a peripheral relief 6 of the cover capable of becoming entangled with the rim 5 of the trunk 2.
  • the relief 6 placed on the periphery of the cover 3 literally comes to be placed astride the rim 5 of the trunk 2. This arrangement forms at the assembly a baffle through which no penetration into the interior volume of the urn can be practiced.
  • this entanglement of the lower rim 5 in the relief 6 of the cover 3 advantageously allows the establishment of a traditional padlock 7 as illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • the peripheral relief 6 and the rim 5 of the lower trunk 2 have corresponding perforations which allow the padlock 7 to be put in place.
  • the folding of the relief 6 includes non-removable sockets when the cover 3 wedges the lower chest 2. This property makes it possible to unfold the cover 3 to flatten it when it is released from the chest 2. On the other hand, when it is placed precisely on the trunk 2, this unfolding is impossible which guarantees the interior inaccessibility of the urn.
  • This five fold folding is formed by a spiral folding of the strips 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 as illustrated in FIG. 3.
  • the cross-section of their realization is illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • the design of the folding of the transverse reliefs 6 is therefore simpler than that of the longitudinal reliefs and is characterized by the formation of a triple fold of the side strip to form an inverted U. This shape allows the transverse relief 6 to overlap the upper edge of the trunk 2.
  • the relief 6 is provided with two lateral tabs 14 as illustrated in FIG. 4. These tabs 14 are intended to be folded against the longitudinal edges of the cover 3. To facilitate the understanding, figure 4 does not represent the longitudinal reliefs.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates the details of embodiment of the tongues 14. These are formed by a lateral projection of the outer strip 15 for forming the transverse reliefs 6.
  • This tongue 14 is intended to be placed in the slot 8 of the longitudinal reliefs 6.
  • FIG. 6 shows such an installation.
  • the mounting of the cover 3 is as follows. First of all, the transverse reliefs are formed by triple folding of the extreme transverse bands to form an inverted U. The lateral tabs 14 are folded down along the longitudinal axis of the cover 3.
  • the strips 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 are wound in a spiral around the tongues 14 so as to immobilize the latter and to form the longitudinal reliefs 6.
  • FIG. 7 represents the folding cutting plane recommended according to the present invention for the formation of the cover 3.
