Definitions

  • banknotes with UV-fluorescent characteristics in addition to incorporating in the paper such characteristics as a watermark, filaments and the like capable of being discerned with the naked eye.
  • the bank­note serial number of a Swedish 100-crown banknote and a Swedish 500-crown banknote is printed with fluores­cent ink.
  • the 500-crown banknotes also have a solely fluorescent print in Gothic style.
  • the banknotes of other countries also often embody similar characte­ristics, at least in the case of high denomination banknotes.
  • banknote examining device which has the form of a small box which is open along one long side thereof and which has mounted at its bottom a milky-glass plate which is illuminated from beneath with conventional light for the purpose of checking watermarks, and which has a screened UV-lamp mounted at the top of the box. These two illuminating device can be ignited and extinguished separately.
  • a banknote examining device of this kind is almost indispensible in practice for banks or post offices, particularly when accepting foreign banknotes.
  • a known banknote examining device of this kind how­ever, is not suitable for arrangement in a normal teller location, primarily because modern teller loca­tions are already cluttered with other apparatus, such as computer equipment and the like.
  • the concept is one of enabling bank­notes where the watermark appears doubtful, due to the presence of grease spots or dirt, to be quickly checked under UV-light, before accepting the banknote.
  • the intention is not to be able to examine actual border-line cases, since in cases such as these the teller is justified in leaving the teller location and examining the banknote in a more suitable apparatus, e.g. an apparatus of the kind mentioned in the intro­duction.
  • This object and other objects of the invention and advantages afforded thereby are achieved with a banknote examining apparatus having the characteristic features set forth in the following Claim 1.
  • Figure 1 is a sectional view of a banknote examining device.
  • Figure 2 illustrates the device from above.
  • Figure 3 illustrates a modified banknote examin­ing device.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a banknote examining device moun­ted in position.
  • a tabletop 1 Provided in a tabletop 1 is an opening 10 over which a fitting 3 is secured, said fitting presenting a slot 2 which has a width of from 10 to 15 mm.
  • a UV-lamp 4 mounted beneath the fitting is a UV-lamp 4 of tubular form, said lamp being displaced laterally beneath the fitting and directed towards the teller.
  • Walls 5 and 6 define a space beneath the table, and a grid 7 or the like is provided beneath the table for the purpose of preventing an inserted banknote from falling. The grid, however, will allow such articles as paper clips, for instance, to pass therethrough.
  • Part of an inserted banknote 11 will be irradiated by the UV-lamp 4 within a zone above the slot 2, which is defined through the shadow edge 12 determined by one edge of the slot.
  • Part of the banknote is therewith irradiated with light and a genuine banknote can be recognized by the fluorescence emitted by the security print which the teller knows shall be found on the banknote. The check is thus carried out quickly and can be made routine with at least all banknote of higher denominations.
  • Figure 2 illustrates, while using the same reference numerals, a banknote examining device from above, provided with a fitting 3 and let-into the tabletop or slightly raised above the tabletop.
  • a wear-durable plastic sheet can be arranged above a slot formed in the table.
  • Figure 1 also shows part of a black sheet 9 of plastic or glass located adjacent the fitting 3.
  • This black sheet enables a watermark to be seen with the aid of the overhead lighting. This avoids the cost and trouble incurred by a light box, since a watermark can be seen clearly against comparable contrasts although comple­mentary, since thinnings in the paper are visibilized as dark areas instead of as light areas.
  • a fluorescent plate can be disposed beneath the insertion slot on the opposite side to the UV-lamp, so as to enable observa­tions to be made by seeing or looking through the document (for watermarks, etc.).
  • the fluorescent plate When no banknote is inserted, the fluorescent plate will be illuminated by the UV-lamp and then shines with visible light. A banknote held against this light can then be viewed in penetrating light.
  • the banknote When the banknote is then inserted into the insertion slot, it will shadow the fluorescent plate therewith interrupting its illumination. This enables the fluorescence of the banknote itself to be observed.
  • This device enables the watermark and fluore­scent marking of a banknote to be checked with the aid of a single discharge lamp of the UV-kind.
  • This principle of using a dual-function lamp can also be utilized in a lamp which is mounted in a box above a table or the like (e.g. as described in DE-A-25 26 819), wherein there is required only one single lamp, a UV-lamp, which carried out two mutually different functions in combination with a fluorescent screen which can be shadowed by a inserted banknote.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a further development of the invention in which the UV-lamp and associated screen can be raised from the top of the table, thereby en­abling a greater part of a banknote to be irradiated when considered necessary.
  • this movability of the device may be achieved by rotatably mounting the device on a horizontal pivot axle which extends on one side edge at right angles to the slot, although the movability of said device can also be achieved with vertical guides, in accordance with sliding drawer principle, or with the aid of movable flaps.
  • the UV-lamp can be arranged to follow the screening wall 5, so that no UV-radiation will impinge on the service personnel.
  • a UV-lamp of from 4 to 6 watts can well be left per­manently ignited in view of the fact that such lamps have a burning time of 2000 hours, although the lamp may, of course, also be provided with a switch.
  • the invention enables a teller to check the genuineness of a banknote quite discretely, without knowledge of the customer, which is a valuable facility both with respect to honorable but perhaps sensitive customers and also with respect to forgerers where it is desir­able to give an alarm quietly and discreetly.
