2. Poletsystem ifølge krav 1, hvor nævnte polet er et færdiglavet forhåndsindkodet kort (367); og hvor poletlæseindretningen (308; 356; 411; 411'; 411"; 411'") er en kodelæseindretning anbragt ved uddelingsindretningen til at kodeaflæse kode(-r), som er til stede på kortet, når det uddeles.
3. Poletsystem ifølge krav 1, - hvor poletten er et personligt kort for brugeren af returautomaten (1), - hvor nævnte kort kan forelægges for poletindkodningsindretningen (7; 411; 411'; 411"; 411'"), og - hvor poletindkodningsindretningen (7; 411; 411'; 411"; 411'") er indrettet til at indkode information i kortet, i form af enten en kortkode eller en kortkode samt nævnte returværdi, - hvor poletindkodningsindretningen er forbundet til en processor (400), og - hvor kortet er et r.f. kort eller magnetstribekort.
4. Poletsystem ifølge krav 1, - hvor poletten er én blandt et optisk aflæseligt kort, et r.f. aflæseligt kort, og et magnetstribeaflæseligt kort, fra hvilket kortkodeinformation kan overføres ved hjælp af poletlæseindretningen (308; 356; 411; 411'; 411"; 411'") til en processor (400) i returautomaten.
5. Poletsystem ifølge krav 1, hvor poletlæseindretningen (7; 308; 356) er en optisk læseindretning, for eksempel et kamera, som er i stand til at aflæse optisk(-e) aftegning(-er), der er forhåndspåført på poletten.
6. System ifølge ét eller flere af krav 1, 2, 4 og 5, til anvendelse med et optisk aflæseligt kort, hvor poletten har en kode bestående af en stregkode eller anden optisk aflæselig kode, som er aflæselig for den første optiske læseindretning i form af et kamera.
7. System ifølge krav 6, hvor stregkoden eller anden optisk aflæselig kode er af et lysreflekterende materiale eller lysretroreflekterende materiale.
8. System ifølge krav 3, hvor poletlæseindretningen (7; 411; 411'; 411"; 411"') er en r.f. kodelæseindretning eller en magnetstribekodelæseindret-ning.
