Definitions

  • Container for holding notes in a note dispenser
  • the invention relates to a container for receiving notes of value in a note issuing device with a lockable 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.
  • receipts are provided in a container which has the task of accommodating individual coupons or bundles of such coupons which, due to any malfunction or malfunction in the coupon dispenser, should or cannot be issued to the customer.
  • These notes of value are not separably collected in the hitherto usual containers, the so-called reject cassettes.
  • the invention is based on the object of specifying a container of the type mentioned at the outset which makes it possible to withdraw notes of value so that they can later be assigned to a specific transaction.
  • the container comprises a plurality of compartments for receiving notes of value and that the receiving openings of the compartments can optionally be connected to the feed gap.
  • One of the subjects can be determined to hold all those notes of value for which an assignment to a specific transaction is not necessary. 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 preferably formed by a compartment of the housing, while the remaining compartments are formed 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 vouchers 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 in 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 initial grooves on a feed roller. This creates a seamless transition of the banknotes from the feed gap into the respective compartment. So that the bank notes 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 the outside with a guide surface which, in this end position of the frame, guides the retracted notes of value from the feed gap directly 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, the resetting being effected by a spring.
  • touch elements are provided for detecting the respective position of the frame, the frame being able to carry code markings or even only counting 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 required. 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 pass through the opening of the housing are accessible. Since the compartments are generally relatively narrow and yet deep, 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 introduced into the compartments . By sliding the slide in the removal direction, the notes of value are raised in the compartments, so that they can be easily grasped and removed.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic longitudinal section through a reject cassette according to the invention with the frame holding the individual compartments in a position in which the notes of value introduced through the feed slot are fed to the general collecting compartment,
  • FIG. 2 shows a view corresponding to FIG. 1 with the frame in a position in which the first compartment of the frame is filled
  • FIG. 3 shows a view corresponding to FIG. 1 with the frame in a position in which the last compartment of the frame is filled
  • 4 shows a view corresponding to FIG. 1 with the cassette open and the frame in its removal position
  • Fig. 5 is a schematic plan view of the front end of the cassette.
  • the reject cassette generally designated 10 in FIG. 1, comprises an essentially cuboid housing 12 with an opening 14 which is closed by a cover 16.
  • the tamper-proof locking of the cover 16 to the housing 12 is known per se and need not be described in more detail here.
  • the container 12 is chamfered at the front, open corner.
  • the inclined surface 18 there is 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 near the inlet opening 20 and parallel to the longitudinal direction thereof, 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.

  • 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 to hold banknotes.
  • the two compartment walls 38 which are the most distant 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 is fastened, which serves to deflect banknotes drawn in through the feed gap 26 in the manner shown in FIG. 1, so that they rest on a support surface 46 of a general designated 48 Sammfachfache fall 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 segment 66 is rigidly connected to the frame 32 and has slots 68 assigned to the compartments I to V. This segment 66 is carried out when the frame 32 is pivoted 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.
  • FIG. 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 FIG. 1 after filling one of the compartments I to V, in which the way to the general collecting compartment 48 is clear, since the cases in which a particular bundle of banknotes has to be assigned to a particular transaction of the dispenser are relatively rare.

Description

Behälter zur Aufnahme von Wertscheinen in einem Wertscheinausgabegerät Container for holding notes in a note dispenser
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter zur Aufnahme von Wertscheinen in einem Wertscheinausgabegerät mit einem verschließbaren Gehäuse, das eine Einlaßöffnung für die Wertscheine hat, wobei in oder nahe der Einlaßöffnung zwei einen Einzugsspalt begrenzende, zum Einzug von Wertscheinen zusammenwirkende antreibbare Walzen ange¬ ordnet sind.The invention relates to a container for receiving notes of value in a note issuing device with a lockable 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.
In Wertscheinausgabegeräten ist in der Regel ein Behäl¬ ter vorgesehen, der die Aufgabe hat, einzelne Wert¬ scheine oder Bündel derartiger Wertscheine aufzunehmen, die aufgrund irgendeiner Fehlfunktion oder Störung in dem Wertscheinausgabegerät nicht an den Kunden ausgege¬ ben werden sollen oder können. Diese Wertscheine werden in den bisher üblichen Behältern, den sogenannten Reject-Kassetten nicht separierbar gesammelt.As a rule, receipts are provided in a container which has the task of accommodating individual coupons or bundles of such coupons which, due to any malfunction or malfunction in the coupon dispenser, should or cannot be issued to the customer. These notes of value are not separably collected in the hitherto usual containers, the so-called reject cassettes.
In der Praxis sind nun auch Fälle aufgetreten, in denen beispielsweise ein Banknotenbündel korrekt zusammenge¬ stellt verbucht, und dem Kunden zur Verfügung gestellt wurde, so daß er das Banknotenbündel hätte entnehmen können, dies jedoch nicht oder nicht vollständig getan hat. In diesem Fall wird gefordert, daß die bereitge¬ stellten, aber nicht entnommenen Banknoten nach Ablauf einer vorgegebenen Zeitspanne wieder eingezogen werden. Würden Sie nun in die herkömmliche Reject-Kassette überführt, so könnten sie dem einzelnen Kunden nicht mehr zugeordnet werden. Es wäre nicht mehr feststell¬ bar, ob der Kunde nun tatsächlich die für ihn bereitge¬ stellten Banknoten vollständig entnommen hat oder nicht.In practice, cases have now also occurred in which, for example, a bundle of banknotes has been correctly compiled and made available to the customer so that he could have removed the bundle of banknotes can, but has not or has not done so completely. In this case, it is required that the banknotes that are made available but not removed are drawn in again after a predetermined period of time. If you were now transferred to the conventional reject cassette, you could no longer be assigned to the individual customer. It would no longer be possible to determine whether the customer has actually completely removed the banknotes made available to him or not.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Behäl¬ ter der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, der es mög¬ lich macht, Wertscheine zurückzunehmen, so daß sie spä¬ ter einer bestimmten Transaktion zugeordnet werden kön¬ nen.The invention is based on the object of specifying a container of the type mentioned at the outset which makes it possible to withdraw notes of value so that they can later be assigned to a specific transaction.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Behälter eine Mehrzahl von Fächern zur Aufnahme von Wertscheinen umfaßt und daß die Aufnahmeöffnungen der Fächer wahlweise mit dem Einzugsspalt verbindbar sind.This object is achieved in that the container comprises a plurality of compartments for receiving notes of value and that the receiving openings of the compartments can optionally be connected to the feed gap.
Eines der Fächer kann dazu bestimmt werden, alle dieje¬ nigen Wertscheine aufzunehmen, bei denen eine Zuordnung zu einer bestimmten Transaktion nicht erforderlich ist. Die restlichen Fächer können dann zur Aufnahme von Wertscheinen bestimmt werden, die später wieder einer bestimmten Transaktion zugeordnet werden müssen. Da die Anzahl dieser Vorgänge innerhalb von 24 Stunden in der Regel begrenzt ist, reicht auch eine beschränkte Anzahl von Fächern.One of the subjects can be determined to hold all those notes of value for which an assignment to a specific transaction is not necessary. 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.
Vorzugsweise ist eines der Fächer von einem Abteil des Gehäuses gebildet, während die übrigen Fächer durch zum Einzugsspalt parallele Fachwände voneinander getrennt in einem Rahmen ausgebildet sind, der in dem Gehäuse um eine zum Einzugsspalt parallele Schwenkachse derart schwenkbar gelagert ist, daß die Aufnahmeöffnungen der Fächer beim Verschwenken des Rahmens nacheinander in Flucht mit dem Einzugsspalt bringbar sind. Alle Wert¬ scheine, die nicht einer bestimmten Transaktion zuge¬ ordnet werden müssen, werden in das Gehäuseabteil ge¬ leitet. Die Wertscheine oder Wertscheinbündel, bei denen eine Identifizierung möglich sein soll, werden dagegen in die in dem verschwenkbaren Rahmen ausgebil¬ deten Fächer geleitet, in dem vor dem Einziehen des Wertscheins oder des Wertscheinbündels das entsprechen¬ de Fach mit dem Einzugsspalt in Flucht gebracht wird. Die Fachnummer wird der Transaktion zugeordnet, so daß der Fachinhalt später dem Kunden übergeben oder gutge¬ schrieben werden kann.One of the compartments is preferably formed by a compartment of the housing, while the remaining compartments are formed 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 vouchers 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 in 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.
Um einen einwandfreien Eintritt des Wertschein- oder Banknotenbündels in das jeweilige Fach sicherzustellen, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn an dem dem Einzugsspalt zuge¬ wandten Rand jeder Fachwand Zungen ausgeformt sind, die in komplementäre U fangsnuten an einer Einzugswalze eingreifen. Damit wird ein lückenloser Übergang der Wertscheine vom Einzugsspalt in das jeweilige Fach ge¬ schaffen. Damit die Banknoten an den zwischen den Zun¬ gen liegenden Randabschnitten nicht hängenbleiben kön¬ nen, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn diese Randabschnitte schräg zur Richtung des Einzugsspaltes gerichtet sind.In order to ensure that the bundle of notes or banknotes enters the respective compartment properly, it is expedient if tongues are formed on the edge of each compartment wall facing the feed gap, which tongues engage in complementary initial grooves on a feed roller. This creates a seamless transition of the banknotes from the feed gap into the respective compartment. So that the bank notes 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.
Sollen die Wertscheine in das allgemeine Aufnahmefach, d.h. das Gehäuseabteil geleitet werden, so kann dies auf einfache Weise dadurch geschehen, daß der Rahmen aus dem Weg des Einzugsspaltes herausgeschwenkt wird, wobei der verschwenkbare Rahmen an einer Außenseite mit einer Leitfläche versehen ist, die in dieser Endstel¬ lung des Rahmens die eingezogenen Wertscheine vom Ein¬ zugsspalt unmittelbar in das Gehäuseabteil leitet. Ein eigener Transportmechanismus für die Wertscheine ist dabei nicht erforderlich.If 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 the outside with a guide surface which, in this end position of the frame, guides the retracted notes of value from the feed gap directly into the housing compartment. A separate transport mechanism for the vouchers is not required.
Die Verstellung des Rahmens kann mittels eines Schritt¬ motors erfolgen, wobei die Rückstellung durch eine Feder bewirkt werden kann. Um das jeweilige Fach iden¬ tifizieren zu können, sind Tastelemente zum Erfassen der jeweiligen Stellung des Rahmens vorgesehen, wobei der Rahmen Codemarkierungen oder auch nur Zählmarken tragen kann, die beim Verstellen des Rahmens abgetastet werden.The frame can be adjusted by means of a stepper motor, the resetting being effected by a spring. In order to be able to identify the respective compartment, touch elements are provided for detecting the respective position of the frame, the frame being able to carry code markings or even only counting marks which are scanned when the frame is adjusted.
Um eine möglichst raumsparende Anordnung zu erhalten, kann mindestens ein Teil der Fachwände um eine zur Schwenkachse des Rahmens parallele Achse an diesem schwenkbar gelagert sein. Dadurch ist es möglich, die Fächer flach zusammenzulegen, solange sie nicht benö¬ tigt werden. Nähere Einzelheiten werden noch in der folgenden Beschreibung erläutert.In order to obtain the most space-saving possible arrangement, 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 required. Further details are explained in the following description.
Bei herkömmlichen Reject-Kassetten ist die Entnahme der aufgenommenen Wertscheine einfach, wenn der Deckel der Kassette geöffnet wurde. Um auch bei der erfindungsge¬ mäßen Lösung eine einfache Entnahme der in den Fächern gespeicherten Wertscheine zu ermöglichen, kann gemäß einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfin¬ dung der Rahmen in eine Entnahmestellung verschwenkt werden, in der die Aufnahmeöffnungen der Fächer durch die Öffnung des Gehäuses hindurch zugänglich sind. Da die Fächer in der Regel relativ schmal und dennoch tief sind, ist erfindungsgemäß an dem Rahmen ein paral¬ lel zur Entnahmerichtung der Wertscheine verschiebbarer Schieber gelagert, der mit einem Schenkel parallele Schlitze in den Fachwänden durchsetzt und zur Auflage der in die Fächer eingeführten Wertscheine dient. Durch ein Verschieben des Schiebers in Entnahmerichtung wer¬ den die Wertscheine in den Fächern angehoben, so daß sie leicht erfaßt und herausgenommen werden können.With conventional reject cassettes, it is easy to remove the notes of value once the lid of the cassette has been opened. In order to enable easy removal of the notes of value stored in the compartments in the solution according to the invention, according to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the frame can be pivoted into a removal position in which the receiving openings of the compartments pass through the opening of the housing are accessible. Since the compartments are generally relatively narrow and yet deep, 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 introduced into the compartments . By sliding the slide in the removal direction, the notes of value are raised in the compartments, so that they can be easily grasped and removed.
Die folgende Beschreibung erläutert in Verbindung mit den beigefügten Figuren die Erfindung anhand eines Aus¬ führungsbeispieles. Es zeigen:The following description explains the invention in connection with the attached figures using an exemplary embodiment. Show it:

Fig. 5 eine schematische Draufsicht auf das vordere Ende der Kassette.Fig. 5 is a schematic plan view of the front end of the cassette.
Die in Figur 1 allgemein mit 10 bezeichnete Reject- Kassette umfaßt ein im wesentlichen quaderförmiges Ge¬ häuse 12 mit einer Öffnung 14, die durch einen Deckel 16 verschlossen ist. Die manipulationssichere Verriege¬ lung des Deckels 16 an dem Gehäuse 12 ist an sich be¬ kannt und braucht hier nicht näher beschrieben zu wer¬ den.The reject cassette, generally designated 10 in FIG. 1, comprises an essentially cuboid housing 12 with an opening 14 which is closed by a cover 16. The tamper-proof locking of the cover 16 to the housing 12 is known per se and need not be described in more detail here.
An der vorderen öderen Ecke ist der Behälter 12 abge¬ schrägt. In der Schrägfläche 18 befindet sich eine schlitzförmige Einlaßöffnung 20, an der eine Transport¬ bahn für Banknoten endet, wenn die Reject-Kassette in einen Geldausgabeautomaten eingeschoben wird. Innerhalb des Gehäuses 12 sind nahe der Einlaßöffnung 20 und par¬ allel zu deren Längsrichtung zwei Einzugswalzen 22 und 24 so gelagert, daß sie zusammen einen Einzugsspalt 26 bilden. Die Einzugswalzen 22 sind durch einen nicht dargestellten Antrieb antreibbar. Die Einzugswalze 24 ist senkrecht zu ihrer Achse auslenkbar, so daß durch den Einzugsspalt nicht nur Einzelblätter, sondern auch Bündel von Banknoten eingezogen werden können. Die so¬ weit beschriebene Kassette ist an sich bekannt.The container 12 is chamfered at the front, open corner. In the inclined surface 18 there is 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. Within the housing 12, two feed rollers 22 and 24 are mounted near the inlet opening 20 and parallel to the longitudinal direction thereof, 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.
In der vorderen Hälfte des Gehäuses 12 ist um eine zum Einzugsspalt 26 parallele Achse 28 ein allgemein mit 30 bezeichneter Fächerspeicher schwenkbar gelagert. Der Fächerspeicher umfaßt einen Rahmen 32 mit zwei zu der Achse 28 senkrechten Seitenwangen 34 und einer diese verbindenden Rückwand 36, sowie eine Mehrzahl von Fach¬ wänden 38. Die Fachwände und die Rückwand 32 begrenzen zusammen fünf Fächer, die zur Aufnahme von Banknoten bestimmt sind. Die beiden von der Rückwand 36 am weite¬ sten entfernten Fachwände 38 sind an den Seitenwangen 34 um zur Achse 28 parallele Achsen 40, 42 schwenkbar gelagert. Der Sinn dieser Maßnahme wird anhand der Figur 2 noch näher erläutert. An der Außenseite der äu¬ ßersten Fachwand 38 ist ein Leitblech 44 befestigt, das dazu dient, durch den Einzugsspalt 26 eingezogene Bank¬ noten in der in Figur 1 dargestellten Weise abzulenken, so daß sie auf eine Auflagefläche 46 eines mit 48 be¬ zeichneten allgemeinen Sammelfacheε in dem Gehäuse 12 fallen. Hier werden alle Banknoten gesammelt, die nicht einer bestimmten Transaktion zugeordnet werden müssen.In the front half of the housing 12, a fan store, generally designated 30, 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 to hold banknotes. The two compartment walls 38, which are the most distant 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. On the outer side of the outermost compartment wall 38, a guide plate 44 is fastened, which serves to deflect banknotes drawn in through the feed gap 26 in the manner shown in FIG. 1, so that they rest on a support surface 46 of a general designated 48 Sammfachfache fall in the housing 12. All banknotes that do not have to be assigned to a specific transaction are collected here.
Sollen dagegen einzelne Banknoten oder Banknotenbündel einer bestimmten Transaktion des Geldausgabeautomaten zugeordnet werden, so daß man das Geld später an einen Kunden ausgeben oder ihm gutschreiben kann, so werden diese Banknoten nicht in dem allgemeinen Sammelfach 48, sondern in einem der mit den römischen Zahlen I bis V bezeichneten Fächer des Fächerspeichers 30 abgelegt. Hierzu wird dieser um seine Achse 28 zunächst in die in der Figur 2 dargestellte Stellung verschwenkt. Zum Ver¬ schwenken dient ein Antriebsmechanismus mit einem Schrittmotor 50, der über ein Getriebe 52 eine Riemen¬ scheibe 54 antreibt, auf die ein Zugriemen 56 auf ik- kelbar ist. Der Zugriemen 56 läuft über eine an der Wange 34 des Rahmens 32 gelagerte Umlenkrolle 58 und von dieser zurück zu einem gehäusefesten Verankerungs¬ element 60. Das Verschwenken des Fächerspeichers 30 durch den Schrittmotor 50 erfolgt gegen die Kraft einer Rückstellfeder 62, die den Fächerspeicher 30 in seine in Figur 1 dargestellte Stellung vorspannt. Wie man in Figur 2 erkennt, ist das Gehäuse 12 zu flach, um den Fächerspeicher 3 in seiner in der Figur l dargestellten Größe in die Stellung gemäß Figur 2 zu bringen. Durch die schwenkbare Anordnung der der Rück¬ wand 36 fernen Fachwände 38 werden diese beim Anstoßen an einem Winkel 64, der an der Innenseite des Deckels 16 befestigt ist, gegen die Vorspannung von Federn 63, 65 so verschwenkt, daß die Fächer IV und V praktisch zusammengeklappt werden. Aus diesem Grunde ist es aber auch erforderlich, die Fächer des Fächerspeichers 30 in der durch die römischen Ziffern angegebenen Reihenfolge zu füllen, da sonst der FächerSpeicher 30 nicht mehr entsprechend weit verschwenkt werden könnte, um nach dem Füllen des Faches V noch das Fach I füllen zu können.If, on the other hand, individual 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. For this purpose, it is first pivoted about its axis 28 into the position shown in FIG. 2. 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 opened. The pulling 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 biases its position shown in Figure 1. As can be seen in Figure 2, 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 compartment walls 38 which are remote from the rear wall 36, these are pivoted against the bias of springs 63, 65 so that the compartments IV and V are practical when they are pushed against an angle 64 which is fastened to the inside of the cover 16 to be folded up. 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 had been filled to be able to.
Mit dem Rahmen 32 ist ein Segment 66 starr verbunden, daß den Fächern I bis V zugeordnete Schlitze 68 trägt. Dieses Segment 66 wird beim Verschwenken des Rahmens 32 zwischen zwei Gabellichtschranken 70 und 72 hin¬ durchgeführt, die beim Passieren der Schlitze 68 Zähl¬ impulse liefern. Auf diese Weise kann die Stellung des Fächerspeichers ermittelt werden.A segment 66 is rigidly connected to the frame 32 and has slots 68 assigned to the compartments I to V. This segment 66 is carried out when the frame 32 is pivoted 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.
Figur 3 zeigt das Befüllen des letzten Faches V des im übrigen bereits gefüllen Fächerspeichers 30. Es ist dabei zu betonen, daß der Fächerspeicher 30 nach dem Befüllen eines der Fächer I bis V natürlich wieder in seine der Figur 1 entsprechende Ausgangslage zurück¬ kehren kann, in der der Weg zum allgemeinen Sammelfach 48 frei ist, da die Fälle, in denen ein bestimmtes Banknotenbündel einer bestimmten Transaktion des Ausga¬ beautomaten zugeordnet werden muß, relativ selten sind.FIG. 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 FIG. 1 after filling one of the compartments I to V, in which the way to the general collecting compartment 48 is clear, since the cases in which a particular bundle of banknotes has to be assigned to a particular transaction of the dispenser are relatively rare.
Figur 4 zeigt die Entnahme der in den Fächern I bis V gespeicherten Banknoten nach dem Öffnen des Behälters 10. Der Deckel 16 ist abgenommen. Der Fächerspeicher 30 wurde mit Hilfe eines an einer der Seitenwangen 34 be¬ festigten Handgriffes 74 so weit gegen die Vorspannung der Feder 62 verstellt, bis er die in der Figur 4 dar¬ gestellte aufrechte Stellung einnimmt, in der ein an einer Gehäuseseitenwand schwenkbar gelagerte Riegel 76 mit seiner Riegelnase 78 an einem mit der Seitenwange 34 verbundenen Zapfen 80 einrastet.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 against the pretension of the spring 62 with the aid of a handle 74 fastened on one of the side cheeks 34 until it assumes the upright position shown in FIG. 4, in which a latch pivotably mounted on a side wall of the housing 76 engages with its locking lug 78 on a pin 80 connected to the side cheek 34.
An der Rückwand 36 ist ein allgemein mit 82 bezeichne¬ ter Schieber so beweglich gelagert, daß er in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles A in Figur 4 hin und her verschoben werden kann. Der Schieber 82 weist einen teleskopisch verlängerbaren Schenkel 84 auf, der nicht dargestellte Schlitze in den Fachwänden 38 quer zu diesen durch¬ setzt, so daß der Schieber 82 zusammen mit dem Schenkel 84 zwischen den in den Figuren 1 bis 3 dargestellten Stellungen und der in der Figur 4 dargestellten Stel¬ lung verschoben werden kann. Die in die Fächer I bis V eingeführten Banknoten liegen auf dem Schenkel 84 des Schiebers 82 auf und können daher beim Hochziehen des Schiebers 82 in den Fächern I bis V angehoben werden. Damit können sie bequem erfaßt und aus den Fächern her¬ ausgenommen werden. Durch Druck auf das Teil 86 kann der Riegel 76 niedergedrückt und damit der Fächerspei¬ cher 30 freigegeben werden.On the rear wall 36, 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 passes slots (not shown) in the compartment walls 38 transversely to these, so that the slider 82 together with the leg 84 between the positions shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and the position shown in FIGS Figure 4 shown position can be moved. The banknotes introduced 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. By pressing the part 86, the bolt 76 can be depressed and the fan memory 30 can be released.
Wenn die Reject-Kassette dem Geldausgabeautomat entnom¬ men wird, sollten sämtliche Öffnungen der Kassette 10 verschlossen sein. Die Hauptöffnung ist durch den nur mit speziellen Mitteln zu entriegelnden Deckel 16 ge¬ schlossen. Um aber auch Manipulationen an der Einla߬ öffnung auszuschließen, ist der Einlaßöffnung ein Schieber 88 zugeordnet, der innerhalb des Gehäuses 12 an einem Schwenkhebel 90 befestigt ist und durch Ver¬ schwenken desselben vor die pilzförmige Einlaßöffnung 20 geschoben wird. Der Hebel 90 ist über einen Doppel¬ lenker 92 mit einem Antriebshebel 94 verbunden, der um eine Achse 96 schwenkbar an der Gehäuseseitenwand gela¬ gert ist und mit einem Zapfen 98 durch einen bogenför¬ mig gekrümmten Schlitz in der Gehäusewand ragt. Dieser Zapfen 98 kann in eine nicht dargestellte Kulissenfüh¬ rung des Einschubrahmens greifen, in den die Reject- Kassette eingeschoben werden kann. Dabei wird dann durch diese Kulissenführung der Antriebshebel 94 aus seiner strichpunktiert gezeichneten Stellung, in der die Einlaßöffnung 20 durch den Schieber 88 verschlossen ist, in seine mit ausgezogenen Linien wiedergegebene Öffnungsstellung verstellt. Dies ist allerdings nur möglich, wenn der Antriebshebel 94 entriegelt wird. Der Antriebshebel 94 wird in seiner durch strichpunktierte Linien wiedergegebenen Schließstellung durch einen Klinkenhebel 100 verriegelt, der hinter einem am An¬ triebshebel befestigten Zapfen 102 einrastet und durch einen Elektromagneten 104 in seine Freigabestellung verschwenkt werden kann. Der Elektromagnet 104 wird nur dann betätigt, wenn nach Eingabe eines korrekten Pa߬ wortes ein entsprechendes Steuersignal erzeugt wird.When the reject cassette is removed from the automated teller machine, all openings of the cassette 10 should be closed. The main opening is closed by the cover 16, which can only be unlocked by special means. In order to also rule out manipulation of the inlet opening, 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 in front of the mushroom-shaped inlet opening 20 by pivoting the same. The lever 90 is connected via a double link 92 to a drive lever 94 which is mounted on the housing side wall so as to be pivotable about an axis 96 and which 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 slide-in frame into which the reject cassette can be inserted. In this case, 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. However, this is only possible if the drive lever 94 is unlocked. The drive lever 94 is locked in its closed position shown by dash-dotted lines by a ratchet 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 a correct password has been entered.
In Figur 5 erkennt man eine Einzelheit an den Einzugs¬ walzen 22, 24 und den Fachwänden 38, die einen rei¬ bungslosen Übergang von Banknoten aus dem Einzugsspalt 26 in die Fächer I bis V gewährleisten soll. Hierzu sind an den den Einzugswalzen 22, 24 zugewandten Rän¬ dern der Fachwände 38 rechteckige Zungen 106 ausgebil¬ det, die in komplementäre Ringnuten 108 in den Einzugs¬ walzen eingreifen. Die zwischen den Zungen 106 liegen¬ den Randabschnitte 110 sind pfeilformig abgeschrägt, um zu verhindern, daß an den Rändern Banknoten hängenblei¬ ben können. 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. For this purpose, rectangular tongues 106 are formed on the edges of the compartment walls 38 facing the feed rollers 22, 24, which tongues engage in complementary annular grooves 108 in the feed rollers. The edge sections 110 lying between the tongues 106 are chamfered in the shape of an arrow in order to prevent bank notes from getting stuck at the edges.
