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.
