Abstract
A security chassis for a secure area in the interior of a secure housing having a supporting frame for the printing mechanism in the non-secure area, a printing module being arranged such that it can move in the supporting frame and being protected mechanically against unauthorized access. The supporting frame is supported on at least one functional edge of at least one chassis shell, and at least two mutually spaced chassis shells surround the secure area. The at least one functional edge has ventilation openings formed at its margin. The geometric shape of the edge of the functional edge making penetration of tools into the secure area enclosed by the two chassis shells impossible.
Claims7
In a security housing having an interior with a secure area and a non-secure area and a printing mechanism disposed therein, a security chassis for the secure area in the interior of the security housing, comprising:
- at least two mutually spaced-apart chassis shells enclosing the secure area, one of said chassis shells having a functional edge;
- a supporting frame for the printing mechanism in the non-secure area supported on said functional edge of said one chassis shell, and a printing module movably disposed in said supporting frame and protected mechanically against unauthorized access;
- said functional edge having ventilation openings formed in a margin thereof, said margin of said functional edge and said ventilation openings having a geometric shape rendering penetration of tools into the secure area enclosed by said at least two chassis shells substantially impossible.
