Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container for holding notes of value in a note dispenser with a closable housing, which has an inlet opening for the notes, two or two drivable rollers, which delimit an inlet gap and cooperate for the entry of notes, are arranged in or near the inlet opening, according to the preamble of Claim 1.
  • a container is usually provided in note issuing devices, which has the task of holding individual notes or bundles of such notes that should not or cannot be issued to the customer due to any malfunction or malfunction in the note issuing device. These notes of value are not separably collected in the hitherto usual containers, the so-called reject cassettes.
  • a container for holding notes of value according to the preamble of claim 1 is known.
  • the container has several compartments to hold the banknotes.
  • the receiving openings of the compartments can be selectively connected to the feed slot in which the notes of value are held.
  • the device contains several compartments which can be pivoted about an axis.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a container of the type mentioned, which makes it possible to take back notes so that they can later be assigned to a specific transaction.
  • One of the compartments can be designated to hold all those securities for which an assignment to a particular transaction is not required.
  • the remaining subjects can then be determined to hold notes of value, which later have to be assigned to a specific transaction. Since the number of these processes is usually limited within 24 hours, a limited number of subjects is also sufficient.
  • One of the compartments is formed by a compartment of the housing, while the remaining compartments by Feed gap parallel compartment walls are formed separately from one another in a frame which is pivotally mounted in the housing about a pivot axis parallel to the feed gap such that the receiving openings of the compartments can be brought into alignment with the feed gap when the frame is pivoted.
  • All notes of value that do not have to be assigned to a specific transaction are directed into the housing compartment.
  • the notes of value or bundles of notes for which identification should be possible, on the other hand, are directed into the compartments formed in the pivotable frame, in which the relevant compartment is brought into alignment with the feed gap before the note or bundle of notes is drawn in.
  • the subject number is assigned to the transaction so that the subject content can later be handed over to the customer or credited.
  • tongues are formed on the edge of each compartment wall facing the feed gap, which tongues engage in complementary circumferential grooves on a feed roller. This creates a seamless transition of the banknotes from the feed slot into the respective compartment. So that the banknotes cannot get caught on the edge sections lying between the tongues, it is expedient if these edge sections are directed obliquely to the direction of the feed gap.
  • the notes of value are to be directed into the general receiving compartment, ie the housing compartment, this can be done in a simple manner by pivoting the frame out of the way of the feed gap. wherein the pivotable frame is provided on an outer side with a guide surface which in this end position of the frame guides the retracted notes of value directly from the feed gap into the housing compartment.
  • a separate transport mechanism for the vouchers is not required.
  • the frame can be adjusted by means of a stepper motor, whereby the resetting can be effected by a spring.
  • pushbuttons are provided for detecting the respective position of the frame, the frame being able to carry code markings or only counter marks which are scanned when the frame is adjusted.
  • At least some of the compartment walls can be pivotably mounted on the frame about an axis parallel to the pivot axis. This makes it possible to fold the compartments flat as long as they are not needed. Further details are explained in the following description.
  • the frame can be pivoted into a removal position in which the receiving openings of the compartments are accessible through the opening of the housing.
  • a slide which can be displaced parallel to the direction of removal of the notes of value is mounted on the frame according to the invention, with one leg passing through parallel slots in the compartment walls and serving to support the notes of value inserted into the compartments. By moving the slide in the removal direction, the notes of value in the compartments are raised so that they can be easily grasped and removed.
  • the reject cassette generally designated 10 in FIG. 1, comprises a substantially cuboid housing 12 with an opening 14 which is closed by a cover 16.
  • the tamper-proof locking of the cover 16 on the housing 12 is known per se and need not be described in more detail here.
  • the container 12 is chamfered at the front or corner.
  • a slot-shaped inlet opening 20 at which a transport path for banknotes ends when the reject cassette is inserted into an automatic teller machine.
  • two feed rollers 22 and 24 are mounted so that together they form a feed nip 26.
  • the feed rollers 22 can be driven by a drive, not shown.
  • the feed roller 24 can be deflected perpendicular to its axis, so that not only single sheets but also bundles of banknotes can be drawn in through the feed gap.
  • the cassette described so far is known per se.
  • a fan store is pivotably mounted about an axis 28 parallel to the feed gap 26.
  • the fan store comprises a frame 32 with two side walls 34 perpendicular to the axis 28 and one of these connecting rear wall 36, and a plurality of compartment walls 38.
  • the compartment walls and the rear wall 32 together delimit five compartments which are intended for receiving banknotes.
  • the two most distant compartment walls 38 from the rear wall 36 are pivotally mounted on the side walls 34 about axes 40, 42 parallel to the axis 28. The meaning of this measure is explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 2.
  • a guide plate 44 which serves to deflect banknotes drawn in through the insertion gap 26 in the manner shown in FIG. 1, so that they fall onto a support surface 46 of a general collecting compartment denoted by 48 in the housing 12 . All banknotes that do not have to be assigned to a specific transaction are collected here.
  • banknotes or bundles of banknotes are to be assigned to a specific transaction of the automated teller machine so that the money can later be given to a customer or credited to him, these banknotes are not stored in the general collecting compartment 48 but in one of the ones with the Roman numerals I to V designated subjects of the fan store 30 filed.
  • a drive mechanism with a stepper motor 50 is used for pivoting, which drives a belt pulley 54 via a gear 52, onto which a tension belt 56 can be wound.
  • the tension belt 56 runs over a deflection roller 58 mounted on the cheek 34 of the frame 32 and from there back to an anchoring element 60 fixed to the housing Figure 1 biased position.
  • the housing 12 is too flat to bring the fan store 3 in the size shown in Figure 1 in the position shown in Figure 2. Due to the pivotable arrangement of the rear wall 36 distant compartment walls 38 these are pivoted against the pretension of springs 63, 65 so that the compartments IV and V are practically folded when bumping against an angle 64 which is fastened to the inside of the cover 16 . For this reason, however, it is also necessary to fill the compartments of the fan store 30 in the order indicated by the Roman numerals, since otherwise the fan store 30 could no longer be pivoted accordingly to fill the compartment I after the compartment V was filled to be able to.
  • a segment 66 is rigidly connected to the frame 32 and has slots 68 assigned to the compartments I to V. When the frame 32 is pivoted, this segment 66 is passed between two fork light barriers 70 and 72, which deliver 68 counting pulses when passing through the slots. In this way, the position of the fan store can be determined.
  • Figure 3 shows the filling of the last compartment V of the otherwise already filled compartment memory 30. It should be emphasized that the compartment memory 30 can of course return to its initial position corresponding to Figure 1 after filling one of the compartments I to V, in which the way to the general collecting compartment 48 is free, since the cases in which a particular bundle of banknotes has to be assigned to a particular transaction of the automatic dispenser are relatively rare.
  • FIG. 4 shows the removal of the banknotes stored in compartments I to V after the container has been opened 10.
  • the lid 16 is removed.
  • the fan store 30 was adjusted with the aid of a handle 74 fastened to one of the side cheeks 34 against the bias of the spring 62 until it assumes the upright position shown in FIG 78 engages on a pin 80 connected to the side cheek 34.
  • a slide generally designated 82 is mounted so that it can be moved back and forth in the direction of the double arrow A in FIG.
  • the slider 82 has a telescopically extendable leg 84 which penetrates slots (not shown) in the compartment walls 38 transversely thereto, so that the slider 82 together with the leg 84 between the positions shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and the position in FIG. 4 position shown can be moved.
  • the banknotes inserted into the compartments I to V rest on the leg 84 of the slide 82 and can therefore be raised in the compartments I to V when the slide 82 is pulled up. This allows them to be conveniently grasped and removed from the compartments.
  • the latch 76 By pressing the part 86, the latch 76 can be depressed and the fan memory 30 can be released.
  • a slide 88 is assigned to the inlet opening, which slide inside the housing 12 is attached to a pivot lever 90 and is pushed by pivoting the same in front of the mushroom-shaped inlet opening 20.
  • the lever 90 is connected via a double link 92 to a drive lever 94 which is pivotally mounted on the housing side wall about an axis 96 and projects with a pin 98 through an arcuately curved slot in the housing wall.
  • This pin 98 can engage in a slide guide, not shown, of the insertion frame, into which the reject cassette can be inserted.
  • the drive lever 94 is then moved from its position shown in broken lines, in which the inlet opening 20 is closed by the slide 88, to its open position, which is shown in solid lines, by means of this link guide.
  • the drive lever 94 is locked in its closed position shown by dash-dotted lines by a pawl lever 100, which engages behind a pin 102 fastened to the drive lever and can be pivoted into its release position by an electromagnet 104.
  • the electromagnet 104 is actuated only if a corresponding control signal is generated after entering a correct password.
  • FIG. 5 shows a detail on the feed rollers 22, 24 and the compartment walls 38, which is intended to ensure a smooth transition of banknotes from the feed gap 26 into the compartments I to V.
  • rectangular tongues 106 are formed on the edges of the compartment walls 38 facing the feed rollers 22, 24, which tongues engage in complementary ring grooves 108 in the feed rollers.
  • the edge sections 110 lying between the tongues 106 are chamfered in an arrow shape in order to prevent bank notes from getting stuck at the edges.
