摘要:
A pneumatic tube system with a pair of pneumatic tube carrier stations (1,2) with a tube (3) connecting the two stations, an air supply including an air supply tube (6) for alternatively supplying air under pressure or air under vacuum to a position in the tube (3) between the two stations (1,2), and valve means (7) in each link of the tube (3) between the respective stations (1,2) and the position at which air is supplied to the tube (3) to cut off the air supplied to the tube (3) between the valve (7) and the corresponding station and carrier detection means (8) to detect a carrier, said detector means (8) being located between the air supply position and the respective valve means (7) and being arranged to control the air supply and the valve means (7).
摘要:
A pneumatic tube carrier system suitable for installation in limited space and in which carriers are conveyed between one of a plurality of sending stations (2) and a central station (6) and with a tube (5) connected between a terminal (4) at each of the sending stations (2) and a common terminal at the central station (6) and means for propelling a carrier through the tube, (5) wherein the tube (5) has at least one bend of tight curvature (20) between the terminals, each bend of tight curvature (20) consisting of a part of small radius and a large cross section connected between the straight part of the tube system.
摘要:
A pneumatic tube carrier system having an air tube connecting two stations and through which a carrier is moved, a supply of air for supplying air under pressure or under vacuum to propel the carrier between the stations and air pressure means to cause the air in the tube to assume a pressure close to atmospheric pressure at the exit end of the tube as the carrier approaches the exit end to cause the carrier to travel slowly along the exit part of the tube as the carrier reaches the end part of the tube.

摘要:
A pneumatic conveyor system (12) connects a cash holding station (15) with one or more dispensing stations, such as a teller's station (20) in a bank or a self service cash dispensing station (23). Cash may be fed into the conveyor system by automatic handling means (18). A carrier (26) for captive use in the conveyor system comprises a substantially cylindrical body (30) having a longitudinal axis (31) and an open end (33); a closure member (34) is permanently mounted on the carrier and movable between a closed position substantially closing the open end to retain sheet material, such as cash notes, therein and an open position in which such material can be inserted into or removed from the carrier. The closure member may comprise a plurality of elements (35) spaced around the periphery of the open end of the cylindrical body and each mounted at or adjacent the periphery for pivotal movement between a closed position extending across the open end and an open position in alignment with the cylindrical body wall. A piston (45) in the cylindrical body can be operated to positively dispense material from the carrier.
