摘要:
A retrieval mechanism for a divert-container-equipped ATM of typical construction to retrieve and protect paper money bills dispensed at a customer's request by the ATM and left at an accessible location at the ATM bill delivery station unpicked by the customer. The unpicked bills are sensed after a short time delay in unpicked status. The unpicked bills when sensed are automatically returned to the reversible conveyor of such typical divert-container-equipped ATM and transported by reversal of the conveyor to the divert container.
摘要:
Picker mechanism for picking notes from a note supply stack in a note dispenser of an automatic banking or teller machine (ATM) which withdraws notes from the supply stack through an access opening in a note supply container laterally of the opening. The access opening has one dimension smaller than the length of the note being laterally withdrawn. The picker mechanism engages the note being withdrawn with a picker cup by combined frictional pressure and suction. The picker cup during note withdrawal moves in multi-directions toward and away from the note stack through the access opening as well as back and forth in directions generally parallel to the length of the note being withdrawn.
摘要:
A note picker mechanism for picking new and circulated paper money bills from stacks thereof through access openings of sealed, tamper-indicating containers for the notes when installed in ATM's. The mechanism has a primary suction picker device and a secondary friction-engaging picker device. The friction-engaging picker is switchably engaged with or disengaged from the suction picker so that if a picking failure occurs, the picker mechanism is automatically changed from joint operation of the primary and secondary picker to operation of the primary picker alone, or vice versa, to correct the cause of the picking failure.
摘要:
A remote automatic banking or teller machine equipped with doubles detecting mechanism which diverts doubles from delivery to a customer and conveys the doubles to a container into which the conveyor means discharges the doubles through a container opening having closure means which are in open position when mounted on the dispenser unit in access-preventing or anti-fishing condition and which closure means are closed and locked to provide a sealed tamper-indicating anti-fishing condition for the container after the container is removed from the dispenser unit and during transport to a central bank.
摘要:
An automatic banking or teller machine (ATM) having a plurality of diverse-function, sealed, tamper-indicating containers which are in locked condition when loaded therein including a depository container, a divert container and one or more note containers. The containers while being loaded into the ATM have doors for access openings opened to provide ATM operative status with the containers locked to the ATM. Interlocks are provided between the containers, container locks and the ATM so as to require a predetermined sequence of assembly or disassembly operations to be carried out in assembling or disassembling the containers, without variation or omission.
摘要:
A remote depository for receiving bank transaction deposits in envelopes at an unmanned location under conditions of security. The depository has a belt conveyor having entry and exit ends, one of which is closed at all times. The conveyor discharges into a locked deposit receiver such as a container which may be locked when removing it from association with the conveyor. The container may be a sealed, tamper-indicating container latched to the conveyor when unlocked upon being connected with the container. The conveyor has a probe which enters the deposit receiver to sense when the receiver is filled to capacity. If the receiver is completely full, the probe disables the conveyor so that it will not accept additional deposit envelopes.

Apparatus for identifying and indicating the content of document canisters such as those used to hold supplies of documents in Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), includes a canister (10) holding a stack of documents (30) and having a face plate (24). Face plate (24) includes a plurality of buttonholes (26). Spring loaded buttons (25) are distributed among buttonholes (26); the arrangement of said buttons representing items of data such as ownership of the canister, canister serial number, and document information such as the type, denomination, amount, and character of the documents in the canister. In operating position, canister (10) is located in an ATM in contact with a picker mechanism (100) which removes documents, one at a time from the canister. The picker mechanism incorporates a switch plate (126) which is adjacent to face plate (24) when canister (10) and picker mechanism (100) are in operating position. Switch plate (126) incorporates a plurality of switch actuators (128), the locations of which correspond to the locations of buttonholes (26). Each switch actuator (128) is associated with an electrical switch (130), which changes its electrical condition whenever its associated switch actuator is depressed. Electrical switches (130) are connected to a computer which controls the operation of the ATM, as well as stores and processes data relating to ATM operation. The computer is programmed to associate the arrangement of buttons with the items of data represented by the arrangement.

In operating position, canister (10) is located in an ATM in contact with a picker mechanism (100) which removes documents, one at a time from the canister. The picker mechanism incorporates a switch plate (126) which is adjacent to face plate (24) when canister (10) and picker mechanism (100) are in operating position. Switch plate (126) incorporates a plurality of switch actuators (128), the locations of which corresponds to the locations of buttonholes (26). Each switch actuator (128) is associated with an electrical switch (130), which changes its electrical condition whenever its associated switch actuator is depressed. Electrical switches (130) are connected to a computer which controls the operations of the ATM, as well as stores and processes data relating to ATM operation. When canister (10) is loaded into operating position, the presence of a spring loaded button (25) in a button hole (26) causes the corresponding switch actuator (128) to be depressed and its associated electrical switch (130) to change electrical condition. Thus, the arrangement of buttons (25) is reflected in the electrical conditions of switches (130). The computer is programmed to associate the arrangement of buttons with the items of data represented by the arrangement. The computer utilizes these items of data according to its programming to do such things as adjust the operation of the ATM to conform to the type, denomination, and character of the documents in each canister, settle accounts between entities who supply the documents to the ATM, track the location of each canister, determine the serial numbers of canisters involved in dispense failures, and signal when the documents in a canister need to be replenished.

When inserted in the ATM, the canister exchanges identifying information with the ATM via the arrangement of buttons. A computer, which controls the operation of the ATM, uses this information to do such things as adjust the operation of the ATM to conform to the type, denomination, and character of the documents in each canister, settle accounts between entities who supply the documents to the ATM, track the location of each canister, determine serial numbers of canisters involved in dispense failures, and signal when the documents in a canister need to be replenished.
摘要:
The device has a feed roller with a high friction rubber segment which picks notes one at a time for each roller revolution or cycle. A counter-rotating separator roller normally prevents picking doubles. A cooperative doubles detector detects doubles when picked and returns the doubles to the note supply stack. The picker mechanism has a biasing lever which holds the note stack out of contact with the feed roller against stack pressure until the friction segment is in note separating and picking position.
