A bill accepting device judges whether a deposited bill is a true bill or not and produces a true bill signal if it is a true bill. A device such as a vending machine utilizing this bill accepting device receives this true bill signal, counts the number of the deposited bill and, upon confirming that the counting has been properly made, produces a true bill confirmation signal. The bill accepting device receives the true bill confirmation signal and thereby confirms that the true bill signal has been properly used. Thereupon, the bill accepting device stores the deposited bill. If this confirmation has not been made, the deposited bill is automatically returned notwithstanding that it is a true bill.

This bill accepting device comprises a bill discrimination section for discriminating whether an inserted bill is true or not, an escrow section capable of retaining a bill accepted by the bill discrimination section as a true bill and returning the retained bill, a stocker section for storing the bill accepted by the bill discrimination section as a true bill, and passage switching means for causing a bill passage in the bill discrimination section to communicate selectively either with the escrow section or with the stocker section. The passage switching section normally communicates the bill discrimination section with the escrow section to enable an inserted bill to be retained in the escrow section in a state in which the bill can be readily returned. When the escrow section has become full, the passage is switched so that the inserted bill is guided from the bill discrimination section to the stocker section.
摘要:
A vending control system for sequentially carrying out a first and second operation in order to insure that the selected article is in fact vendible and that the correct amount of change is provided. During the first operation, the amount of deposited coins is compared with the vend price of all articles in order to determine which articles are vendible, and article selection switches corresponding to the vendible articles are enabled. And during the second operation, the amount of deposited coins is compared with the vend price of an article selected by operation of the corresponding article selection switch, in order to confirm that the selected article is in fact vendible and to insure that the proper amount of change is provided.
摘要:
A secrecy device connected between a telephone handset and a telephone body, which comprises a secrecy circuit for modulating a voice signal received from the handset on a predetermined modulation system basis to send a modulated voice signal to the telephone body and for demodulating a modulated voice signal received from the telephone body on a predetermined demodulation system basis to send a demodulated voice signal to the handset, and a detection circuit for detecting presence of a connection of a wiretapping telephone set to a line connecting two communicating party telephone sets. The detection circuit, in response to reception of a request signal generated at the secrecy device of one of the two communicating party telephone sets, generates pseudorandom data and transmits the pseudorandom data to the secrecy device of the request-signal sender telephone set, and, in response to reception of the pseudorandom data, returns as echo-back data the same data as the pseudorandom data to the secrecy device of the pseudorandom-data sender telephone set, and compares the random data generated at the secrecy device of its own telephone set with the echo-back data and when the both data do not coincide with each other, generates a detection output.
摘要:
A stored coin and bill number counter unit counts up the numbers of deposited coins and bills for respective denominations and counts down the numbers of paid out coins and bills for the respective denominations and thereby obtains the numbers of coins and bills for the respective denominations stored for paying out of change. A comparison and operation unit primarily judges whether vending is possible or not by comparing the amount of the deposited coins and bills with the set vend price and obtains the amount to be paid out as change by calculating difference between the deposited amount and the set vend price. A change payout permission judgement unit judges whether payout of the amount to be paid out as change is possible or not by utilizing the numbers of the coins and bills of the respective denominations calculated by the counter unit and, if such payout is possible, permits ultimately vending of an article corresponding to the set vend price on condition that the comparison unit has judged, with respect to the particular set vend price, that vending is possible. A shortage detection device may be provided in association with a change coin and bill storage device for detecting whether or not there is shortage of stored coins and bills of the respective denominations and the judgement unit may make the above described judgement on the basis of outputs of both the shortage detection device and the counter unit.
摘要:
A coin separator having a first coin passage along which coins are guided, a coin detector disposed in the first coin passage for discriminating whether coins passing therethrough are true or false and to which group belong coins which are discriminated as true and outputting a signal relative to whether the coins are true or false and a group signal indicative of the group to which the discriminated coins belong, a true coin passage and a false coin passage each connected to the first coin passage, a first dividing mechanism for introducing the coins passing through the first coin passage into either the true coin passage or the false coin passage in response to the signal outputted from the coin detector, a plurality of second coin passages connected to the true coin passage, a second dividing mechanism for introducing the coins passed through the true coin passage into one of the plurality of second coin passages in response to the group signal outputted from the coin detector, and a third dividing mechanism for dividing the coins passed through each of the second coin passages into a plurality of groups with the third dividing mechanism being provided in each of the plurality of second coin passages.
摘要:
A money discriminating apparatus comprising a bill transporting path defined between a pair of spaced, but opposed wall surfaces. A coin transporting path is defined by a groove formed in at least one of the wall surfaces. The groove has a width slightly larger than a diameter of a largest one of coins to be transported and a depth slightly larger than a thickness of a thickest one of the coins. Inlet and outlet of coin transporting path open respectively to inlet and outlet of the bill transporting path. A transporting system transports bill and coin along their respective paths. A discriminating unit discriminates authenticity and kind of bill and coin in course of being transported along their respective paths. Preferably, the transporting system comprises a pair of transporting belts and mating surfaces arranged in facing relation respectively to running surfaces of the respective belts. The running surfaces of the respective belts cooperate respectively with the mating surfaces to transport money while clamping the money therebetween.
摘要:
The control system is constituted by a plurality of switches operated by inserted coins of different denominations, first register for storing amounts of inserted coins for each denomination and a second register for storing remaining amount of change. The amount of coins corresponding to operated switch is added to the content of the first register, 1 is added to the content of the second register in accordance with the denomination of the inserted coin, and 1 is substracted from the content of the second register in accordance with the denomination of payed out money. The selling price of a merchandise is subtracted from the total price of the inserted coins for calculating the amount of change. Selling is possible or not is determined by sequentially subtracting the price of the coins starting from a coin of the highest price from the change. The content of the first register is sequentially changed until the content exceeds the selling price and the selling price is subtracted from the content of the first register for setting the content to the amount of change for different denomination of coins.
