Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a receiving device for opened booklets such as passbooks in automatic teller machines (ATMs); for example, such a device may receive passbooks which bank clients have failed to recover.
  • ATMs automatic teller machines
  • the receiving device 50 is comprised of a passbook pressing portion 52 and a receiving container 58.
  • the pressing portion 52 is comprised of a support member 54 and a presser 56.
  • the presser 56 is made of thin stainless steel plate because an appropriate bending angle and an appropriate strength for bending are required.
  • the support member 54 is fixed to a fixing member of the main body of the machine which is not illustrated in the drawings.
  • the presser 56 has elasticity so that it can guide a passbook 2.
  • a second passbook 3 is carried into the container 58 by feed roller means 6.
  • the passbook 3 pushes and bends the presser 56.
  • the passbook 3 moves forward under the bent presser 56 and above the first passbook 2 which has been previously received in the container 58.
  • the trailing end of the passbook 3 been previously received in the container 58.
  • the trailing half of the passbook 3 is pressed downward by the return force of the presser 56.
  • the passbook 3 is deposited on the first passbook 2.
  • Third and successive passbooks are piled up on previously received passbooks in the container 58 in the same manner as the second passbook 3. Normally, the receiving device 50 has a structure sufficient to receive about 5 passbooks.
  • the conventional receiving device 50 for receiving passbooks piled up in an opened state has had the following problems which are explained with reference to Figs. 15 and 16.
  • passbooks vary as regards the strength of paper used, the bending characteristics, the condition of edges or the number of pages in left and right halves when opened. If there is only one passbook, the passbook rarely jams in the receiving device 50. However, as is shown in Fig. 15, when receiving second and further passbooks 3, it sometimes happens that the leading end 3a of a passbook 3 is pressed downward by the presser 56 and, after sliding over the trailing half of the passbook 2, the passbook 3 is caught at the centre bending portion 2f of the passbook 2.
  • the trailing half 3d of the passbook 3 is carried forward by the feed roller 6. Then the passbooks 2 and 3 move together in the direction of the arrow X in Fig. 15. After the leading end 2a of the passbook 2 reaches the side wall 58a of the container 58, the leading half 2c of the passbook 2 is bent upward as is shown in Fig. 16.
  • the the passbook 3 is further carried into the container 58 by the feed roller means 6, so that the passbooks 2 and 3 are received in passbooks 2 and 3 have been received in a distorted condition, a jam may occur and either the third passbook may be distorted or the presser 56 may be deformed.
  • a sensor not shown
  • a booklet receiving device including a container for receiving a plurality of opened booklets, and a booklet presser arranged to press against an opened booklet as the booklet is moved into the container so as to guide the booklet into a desired position in the container, characterized in that said presser is of pear-shaped configuration and is formed by bending resilient sheet material into said configuration, the tapered end of said presser being fixed and being remote from an opened booklet when this booklet is in said desired location in said container.
  • the presser changes its shape as it guides received booklets in the opened state along its outer surface.
  • Synthetic resin film may be used as the flexible material in the form of a thin plate.
  • the receiving device 10 is comprised of feed roller means 6, a booklet pressing portion 20 and a container 12.
  • the booklet pressing portion 20 is comprised of a support 24, a pear-shaped presser 22, a fixer plate 26 and screws 28.
  • the tapered end of the presser 22 is sandwiched between the support 24 and the fixer plate 26 and is fixed by the screws 28.
  • the support 24 is fixed to a bracket of the main body of an ATM which is not shown in the drawings.
  • the presser 22 is formed by pressing together opposite ends of a rectangular sheet of resilient flexible material having a smooth surface so that when these ends are secured to the support 24 as described above, with the presser 22 extending downwardly, the presser 22 takes the shape of a pear with a rounded lower portion.
  • a pear shape made in this manner has the characteristics that it is weak against pressure from the side but is strong against pressure from beneath.
  • the presser 22 is made of synthetic resin film (polyester film) having a thickness of 0.3 to 0.5 millimetre.
  • the presser 22 may be made of other thin film-like materials such as paper or thin metal plate, provided the material has a smooth surface and has appropriate flexibility and strength.
  • the presser 22 may be of laminated construction, comprising two or more layers of thin material.
  • the material from which the presser 22 is formed is rectangular, but other shapes may be used.
  • Figs. 2 - 7 show the process for receiving the first booklet 4.
  • the leading end 4a of the booklet 4 first engages and pushes the presser 22 at an approximate halfway point 22b of a side surface 22a.
  • the pusher 22 is pivoted about its tapered end 22d and its shape is changed by becoming more elongated (Fig. 3).
  • the leading end 4a of the booklet 4 is further moved forward (to the right in Fig. 4) by the feed roller means 6, with the leading end 4a moving along the side surface 22a of the presser 22 (Fig. 4).
  • the leading end 4a of the received booklet 4 has passed the side surface 22a of the presser 22 (Fig. 5)
  • the booklet 4 is pressed downward against the base of the container 12 by the return force of the presser 22 (Fig. 6).
  • the trailing end 4b (Fig.7) of the booklet 4 has passed through the feed roller means 6, the trailing (left hand) half 4d of the booklet 4 drops into the container 12 and is pressed by the lowermost portion 22c of the presser 22 when the presser 22 substantially returns to its initial rest position and shape.
  • the first opened booklet 4 is guided by the presser 22 into its desired location in the container 12, with the tapered end of the presser 22 being remote from the opened booklet 4.
  • the manner in which the second booklet 5 is received on top of the first booklet 4 will now be described with reference to Figs. 8 - 13.
  • the second booklet 5 is carried into the container 12 by the feed roller means 6 in the same manner as the first booklet 4 (Fig. 8).
  • the presser 22 is in engagement with the previously received opened booklet 4.
  • the leading end 5a of the second opened booklet 5 first engages and pushes the presser 22 at the approximate halfway point 22b of its side surface 22a, the shape of the presser 22 is changed significantly with the side surface 22a being bent inwardly as shown in Fig. 9.
  • the booklet 5 is further carried forward by the feed roller means 6, with the leading end 5a moving over the side surface 22a, thereby progressively changing the shape of the presser 22.
  • the booklet 5 continues to move over the side surface 22a of the presser 22 even after the presser 22 is pushed out of contact with the booklet 4 (Fig. 10).
  • the leading end 5a of 22 is pushed out of contact with the booklet 4 (Fig. 10).
  • the leading end 5a of the booklet 5 moves out of engagement with the side surface 22a, the leading end 5a has moved past the centre bending portion 4f of the booklet 4, the booklet 5 at this time advancing between the presser 22 and the booklet 4 (Fig. 11).
  • the booklet 5 is guided by the presser 22 into its desired location in the container 12, the booklet 5 being positioned in a pile on top of the booklet 5. Third and more booklets will be received in a pile in the same manner as the second booklet 5 on previously received booklets.
  • the location of the roller means 6 for feeding booklets into the container 12 is determined in accordance with conditions such as the material, shape and size of the presser 22 and the configuration of the container 12.
  • the presser 22 of the receiving device 10 in accordance with the present invention By virtue of arranging the presser 22 of the receiving device 10 in accordance with the present invention to be formed from flexible sheet material into a pear shape, it is possible for the receiving device 10 to receive booklets which have various physical characteristics without jamming. Also, by preventing a jam, it is unnecessary to stop the ATM to remove jammed passbooks, thereby resulting in increased operating efficiency. Further, the pear shape of the presser 22 can be obtained by bending and pressing together opposite ends of a thin plate of a certain shape, without any special bending means or special bending process being required, whereby the cost of manufacturing parts for the receiving device 10 is reduced.
