  • the articles can be bank deposits or courier packages for example. It is envisaged that a number of such articles can be received by the article receiving apparatus (11, 111) over a period of time before being collected and transferred to a centralised location, for example a centralised receiving office of a bank or a centralised courier package handling facility.
  • the module (17, 117) is configured to restrict access to the article storage location (15, 115) from outside the enclosure (13, 113).
  • the module (17, 117) has an article receiving compartment (19, 119) in which articles such as bank deposits or courier packages can be placed.
  • the enclosure (13, 113) will typically comprise a metal housing that will resist theft of the articles from within the apparatus (11, 111)
  • the module (17, 117) is movable between three main positions;
  • the apparatus (11, 111) is configured such that;
  • the enclosure (13, 113) includes a first opening (29, 129) and a second opening (31, 131), both being situated in its outer wall (23, 123).
  • the movable module (17, 117) controls access through the first opening (29, 129). Note: in figures 4 to 6 the outer wall (123) is shown partially cutaway to allow some of the internal components of the receiving apparatus (111) to be visible.

Articles that have been collected in the article storage location (15, 115) can be removed through the second opening (31, 131) after first opening the lockable door (33, 133) using a required access key or code. Note: in figures 4 to 6 the lockable door (133) is not shown to allow some of the internal components of the receiving apparatus (111) to be visible.
  • the module (17, 117) is in the form of a slidable drawer (35, 135), albeit a modified drawer.
  • the slidable drawer (35, 135) slides into and out of the enclosure (33, 133), through the first opening (29, 129).
  • the drawer (35, 135) comprises an open part of the drawer (35, 135) which forms the article receiving compartment (19, 119), and an enclosed section (37, 137).
  • the enclosed section (37, 137) forms a plug that blocks access through the first opening (29, 129) when the module (17; 117) is between the second position (27, 127) and the third position (25, 125).
  • the article receiving compartment (19, 119) occupies about a half to three quarters of the length of the drawer (35, 135) in its direction of movement, and the enclosed section (37, 137) occupies the remaining length. Only the enclosed section (37, 137) of the module (17, 117), or a part of it, extends from the enclosure (13, 113) when the module (17, 117) is between the second position (27, 127) and the third position (25, 125).
  • the size and shape of a cross section of the enclosed section (37, 137) in a plane perpendicular to the direction of movement of the drawer (35, 135) is similar to that of the first opening (29, 129). And because of the similar size and shape, and because it is fully enclosed, the enclosed section (37, 137) acts like a plug to fully occupy the first opening (29, 129) and restricts access into the compartment (19, 119) of the module (17, 117) through the first opening (29, 129) when the module is between the second position (27, 127) and the third position (25, 125).
  • the apparatus (11, 111) includes an article detection system (39, 139) configured to detect whether an article, or an appropriate article, has been placed in the compartment (19, 119) of the module (17, 117).
  • the article detection system (39, 139) includes a scanner or reader (41, 141), or more specifically a bar code scanner or reader.
  • the scanner (41, 141) is mounted to the structure of the enclosure (13, 113) and can scan any articles in the compartment (19, 119) as the module (17, 117) is being moved from the first position (21, 121) to the second position (27, 127).
  • the apparatus (11, 111) includes a first controllable lock (43, 143) configured to selectively prevent the module (17, 117) from moving past the second position (27, 127) and toward the third position (25, 125). And the apparatus (11, 111) includes a second controllable lock (45, 145) configured to selectively prevent the module (17, 117) from moving away from, or past, the second position (27, 127) and toward the first position (21, 121).
  • both the first controllable lock (43, 143) and the second controllable lock (45, 145) are a part of a single rocker assembly which is configured in such a manner that the second controllable lock (45, 145) cannot extend to a deployed or locked configuration without the first controllable lock (43, 143) being withdrawn from its locked configuration, and visa versa.
  • the apparatus (11, 111) is configured such that the first controllable lock (43, 143) remains deployed to prevent the module (17, 117) from moving past the second position (27, 127) and toward the third position (25, 125) unless the article detection system (39, 139) detects an appropriate article within the article receiving compartment (19, 119).
  • the second controllable lock (45, 145) is used to stop the module (17, 117) being withdrawn back toward the first position (21, 121) until the contents of the compartment (19, 119) have been transferred to the article storage location (15, 115).
  • the apparatus (11, 111) is configured such that any articles contained within the article receiving compartment (19, 119) of the module (17, 117) can only be transferred or dropped from the module (17, 117) and into the article storage location (15, 115), when the module (17, 117) is between the second position (27, 127) and the third position (25, 125).
  • the module (17, 117) includes a movable floor (47, 147) configured to allow the contents of the compartment (19, 119) to drop from the module (17, 117) and into the article storage location (15, 115).
  • the movable floor (47, 147) comprises a flap that is connected to the drawer (35, 135) by a hinge (48, 148) along an edge of the flap nearest to the enclosed section (37, 137) of the drawer (35, 135).
  • the movable floor (47, 147) has a textured or dimpled surface to reduce the chance that an article may stick to the floor (47, 147), for example a damp envelope may be more likely to stick to the floor (47, 147) if it has a smooth surface.
  • the apparatus (11, 111) can include a third controllable lock (49, 149) adapted to selectively prevent articles being transferred from the compartment (19, 119) of the module (17, 117) and into the article storage location (15, 115).
  • the third controllable lock (49, 149) can engage the movable floor (47, 147) at a location opposite the hinge (48, 148) and is used to prevent the movable floor (47, 147) from lowering until the module (17, 117) is between the second position (27, 127) and the third position (25, 125).
  • the apparatus is provided with a stationary cam (50, 150) that is situated below the drawer (35, 135) in the area where an inside end of the drawer (35, 135) is situated when the drawers is at the second position.
  • the cam (50, 150) has a profile that controls the rate at which the movable floor (47, 147) drops as the drawer (35, 135) moves from the second position (27, 127) toward the third position (25, 125), and the rate at which the floor (47, 147) lifts when the drawer (35, 135) moves back from the third position (25, 125) to the second position (27, 127).
  • the cam (50, 150) is ideally made from a low friction plastics material.
  • the slidable drawer (35, 135) is mounted on roller slides and cannot be fully removed from the enclosure (13, 113) by a person depositing an article. Also, since the movable floor (47, 147) is only unlocked and allowed to fall when the drawer (35, 135) is situated between the second position (27, 127) and the third position (25, 125), and this is also when the enclosed section (37, 137) of the drawer (35, 135) closes off the first opening (29, 129), access is never provided from outside the apparatus (11, 111) through the first opening (29, 129) to the article storage location (15, 115).
  • the apparatus (11, 111) is provided with two module location sensors (51) to detect the location of the module (17, 117).
  • a first module location sensor (51a, 151a) senses when the module (17, 117) is approaching the second position (27, 127) from the first position (21, 121), and is ideally positioned to detect when the module (17, 117) is approximately forty to eighty millimetres away from the second position (27, 127).
  • a second module location sensor (51b, 151b) senses when the module (17, 117) has reached the second position (27, 127).
  • the first module location sensor (51a, 151a) acts like an 'early warning sensor'. If the drawer (35, 135) passes the first module location sensor (51a, 151a) and the article detection system (39, 139) has made a positive identification of an article in the module (17, 117), the first lock (43, 143) will be retracted from its extended position to allow the module to slide continuously past the second position (27, 127) and toward the third position (25, 125). This makes the apparatus (11, 111) simpler and easier to use, than if there was always a momentary stop at the second position (27, 127).
  • the apparatus (11, 111) detects that the module (17, 117) has reached the second position (27, 127), but the article detection system (39, 139) has not detected an article in the compartment (19, 119), the first controllable lock (43, 143) remains deployed to prevent the module (17, 117) passing the second position (27, 127).
  • This feature can be used to halt the depositing process, signalling to the person making the deposit that the article has not been recognised by the apparatus (11, 111). And since the drawer (35, 135) is only partly retracted at this stage the person will instinctively know that something has gone wrong with the depositing process.
  • a display screen (52) can also be provided on the apparatus (11, 111) to communicate to the person that the article has not been recognised and cannot be deposited.
  • the problem may be that a barcode on the article is not facing upwards and the article may simply need to be turned over.
  • the display screen (152) is not shown in figures 4 to 7 since a top cover of the apparatus (111) is not shown to allow internal components to be seen.
  • the apparatus (11, 111) includes a floor location sensor (53, 153) that is adapted to detect the location of the movable floor (47, 147) of the module (17, 117).
  • the floor location sensor (53, 153) is situated on a chute (54, 154) that is configured to guide articles as they drop from the module (17, 117) to the article storage location (15, 115).
  • the floor location sensor (53, 153) detects when the movable floor (47, 147) has dropped through the full extent of its travel and is lying against a wall of the chute (54, 154).
  • the apparatus (11, 111) includes a number of article transfer sensors (55, 155), in this example four sensors (55, 155) are used.
  • the article transfer sensors (55, 155) are positioned between the module (17, 117) and the article storage location (15, 115) at a throat (56, 156) of the chute (54, 154), and are adapted to detect whether an article has passed from the compartment (19, 119) of the module (17, 117) and into the article storage location (15, 115).
  • the article transfer sensors (55, 155) are infrared sensors. The information provided by the article transfer sensors (55, 155) can be used to confirm that an article was physically received into the article storage location (15, 115).
  • the article transfer sensors (55, 155) can also be used to indicate that the article receiving bag (57) is full, for example they can detect when an article has not dropped fully into the bag (57) and is still being detected by the article transfer sensors (55, 155). Note: the receiving bag (157) is not shown in figures 4 and 5 to allow the bag holder (158) to be shown clearly.
  • the apparatus (11, 111) is configured such that the second controllable lock (45, 145) remains deployed to prevent the module (17, 117) from moving away from, or past, the second position (27, 127) and toward the first position (21, 121) until one or more article transfer sensors (55, 155) have detected the transfer of an article from the compartment (19, 119) of the module (17, 117) and into the article storage location (15, 115).

L'appareil présente une enveloppe résistante, un emplacement de stockage d'articles à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe et un module ou tiroir mobile recevant les articles. Le tiroir est conçu pour limiter l'accès à l'emplacement de stockage d'articles depuis l'extérieur de l'enveloppe. Le tiroir forme un bouchon dans une ouverture sur l'enveloppe et comprend un compartiment de réception d'articles. Les articles peuvent être reçus dans le tiroir uniquement lorsque celui-ci est complètement ouvert, et les articles peuvent être transférés vers l'emplacement de stockage d'articles uniquement lorsque le tiroir est complètement fermé. Lorsque le tiroir se déplace entre les positions complètement ouverte et complètement fermée, le tiroir bloque l'accès dans l'enveloppe. Un système de capteurs et de verrous commande le mouvement du tiroir et le transfert des articles vers l'emplacement de stockage d'articles.
