  • One feature of the present invention is that the information displayed on the inner side of the mirror is in photographic view of the camera so that, as the user is photographed, this information is also photographed and will appear on the photographic film.
  • the present invention therefore relates-to an apparatus for recording identifying data relative to the use of a credit card, cheque or like document which comprises: a housing; a one-way mirror mounted to the housing and disposed in a face viewing relation to the user of the credit card, cheque or like document; camera means mounted in the housing in photographic view of the mirror; height indication means in photographic view of the camera to record indication relative to the height of the user when the camera is actuated; identifying data on the inner side of the mirror in photographic view of the camera to record information relative to the use of the apparatus when the camera is actuated; means for causing actuation of the camera means; and means for dispensing outside the housing a receipt giving information including at least part of the identifying data.
  • a weight scale is provided outside the housing but is associated with the identifying data displayed on the inner side of ⁇ the mirror so that the photograph taken will also register the weight of the user.
  • the actuation means consist of a compartment which the credit card, cheque or like document is inserted. Means are provided to detect the presence of the credit card and to activate the photographic process.
  • the embodiment illustrated comprises a housing 10 formed of a front wall 12, two opposite side walls 14. and l6 and a rear wall 18.
  • the front wall 12 includes, in its upper part, a one-way mirror 20 with a reflective outer face 22 and a transparent inner face 24 (see fig. 3).
  • a height scale 26 extends vertically the entire height of the mirror.
  • the base of the apparatus includes a weighing area 28 with a weighing scale 30 (see fig. 4).
  • the housing has an upper chamber 32 in which is lodged a receipt register, generally denoted 34, which is mounted near the sidewall 16 of the apparatus.
  • This register dispenses duplicate copies 36 and 38 of a receipt on which the following information is provided: the weight of the user, the date of use of the apparatus, the registration number of the apparatus and a reference number pertaining to the actual use of the apparatus.
  • One copy 32 of the receipt is issued to an exit slot 40 provided on the front wall 12 of the apparatus.
  • a second copy 38 of the receipt is retained inside chamber 32 and passes over rollers 42 and 44 so as to be in the rear of the mirror.
  • the receipt 38 then is recuperated on a bobbin 46.
  • a camera 50 is mounted inside the internal chamber 32 and, through a mirror 52 inclined at 45°, is capable of taking a picture of an area corresponding to that of mirror 20.
  • the front wall 12 also displays a slot 54 in which may be inserted a credit card, a cheque or any similar document.
  • an optical detecting device 56 is provided to recognize the insertion of such document.
  • Dotted lines 58 indicate that this optical detecting device 56 is electrically connected to a control circuit 60 disposed at the bottom of the housing.
  • dotted lines 51 indicate the the camera is electrically connected to the control circuit 60.
  • the front wall 12 of the housing further displays a coin receiving slot 62 which is electrically connected to the control circuit 60 as illustrated by dotted lines 64.
  • a coin 65 is received in the coin collecting device 66 which may dispense it to a return shoot 68 or to a coin collecting box 70.
  • a return button 72 is shown on the front panel 12 and is associated with the coin collecting mechanism described.
  • the scale 28 is electrically connected to the control unit 60 as illustrated by dotted lines 80.
  • a mechanism 82 serves for detecting any defects in the operation of the apparatus, in which case a lamp 84, located in the upper part of the front walls will be lit to indicate that the apparatus is operatively defective.
  • a customer who wishes to pay a bill or account by means of a credit card, cheque or other document is first asked to mount on the scale 28 of the apparatus. He then inserts his credit card, cheque or document in slot 54 and, if required, deposits in slot 62 the required amount.
  • the control unit 60 will set register 34 into operation only if lines 58 and 64 are energized, in which case, the weight of the user is transmitted to and recorded in register 34.
  • the latter will print on both copies 36 and 38 of the slip the weight of the user, the date of use of the apparatus., a reference number concerning the actual use of the apparatus and the registration number of the apparatus.
  • the issued copy 38 of the register slip passes in the photographic viewing area of the. camera.
  • the control unit 60 sets the camera 50 in operation whereby a picture of the upper body portion of the user is taken together with the slip portion 38. Hence, the photograph will also include the above identified information carried on the slip.
  • the other copy 36 of the register slip exits at 40 for the customer's use for attaching with a cheque or other document. This copy does not include a photograph of the customer nor identification as to his height.
  • the latter will stop; it will also stop if the customer comes off the scale since its operations are controlled by unit 60.
  • a second embodiment of the present invention is illustrated and comprises a housing 110 displaying an inclined front wall having an upper portion 112 and a lower portion 114.
  • the housing is supported on a pair of legs 115, 116 the lower ends of which are mounted to a base frame 118.
  • the upper front wall portion 112 includes a one-way mirror 120 with a reflective outer face 122 and a transparent inner face 124. On the transparent inner face of the mirror, a. height; scale 126 is displayed along one side thereof.
  • a weighing device 128 Adjacent to the base 118, a weighing device 128 is provided and a connecting cable 130 transmits data pertaining to the weight of the user inside the housing 110 as further described below.
  • the housing is shown as including an inner chamber 132 which lodges a receipt register, generally denoted 134.
  • This register dispenses a receipt at an outlet 136 on front wall portion 114.
  • the receipt may include the following information in readable characters and/or coded form: the name of the owner of the establishment where the anti-fraud apparatus is located; the time and date of use of the apparatus; a number which corresponds to the location of a photograph on a camera film; and the apparatus number.
  • Block 140 represents an enclosure where the film may be kept until it is necessary to develop the film in order to retrieve information relating to a particular use of the machine.
  • Block 14.2 represents schematically the electronic circuitry which is required to display on the: inner side of the one-way mirror at 144,. 146, 148, 150 information pertaining to the use and user of the. machine, which information is photographed with the user's upper body.
  • This electronic circuitry displays the information in the form of digits.
  • digits 144 may represent a number associated with the particular machine while digits 146 may give the weight of the user.
  • Digits 148 may represent the location of the photograph taken on the camera film while digits 150 may be a number representative of the user of the machine.
  • the front wall of housing 110 includes an appropriate slot 152 (similar to that of 54 in the Fig. 1) in which the user must insert his cheque, credit card or like document to set the machine in operation, in a manner similar to that described in connection with Fig. 1, wherein an optical detecting device initiates activation of the various operation of the machine.
