Definitions

  • the present invention relates to fluid delivery system forming a degradation unit and to a device including such a degradation unit for transporting valuable items.
  • ATMs automatic teller machines
  • ATMs are replenished before they run out of money.
  • partially empty cash cassettes are removed from the ATMs and transported back to a replenishment facility.
  • the majority of the transportation procedure is carried out within the security of an armoured vehicle.
  • the guards frequently have to carry loaded ATM cassettes from the van to the bank across public spaces, for example through city centres. During this transportation, the guard is vulnerable to attack and the container containing the loaded cash cassette may be stolen.
  • the container used by the guard to transport the valuable items includes an automatic degradation system.
  • the degradation system usually comprises a reservoir of fluid, such as ink, and a reservoir of compressed gas which can be controllably admitted into the reservoir of fluid.
  • the admission of gas into the ink reservoir causes the ink therein to become displaced and this is generally expelled via a weighted flexible tube and a spray bar system over the valuables within the container.
  • the weighted flexible tube extends into the ink reservoir such that the end of the tube naturally tends to flop towards the lower side of the reservoir such that the ink delivery system should not be defeatable by inverting the container.
  • this arrangement only works to a limited extent.
  • a cash cassette fluid delivery system according to the preamble of claim 1 is disclosed in US-A 5 732 638. Further protective means for valuable items are mentioned in US-A 1 563 176, GB-A 1 108 643 and US-A 5 537 938.
  • a cash cassette fluid delivery system comprising a first cylinder having an outlet and containing fluid, a piston in substantially fluid sealed sliding arrangement within the cylinder, and supply means for the selective supply of gas under pressure into the first cylinder so that the piston is urged towards the outlet and the fluid is ejected from the outlet, wherein the cylinder and piston are made from the same material
  • the cylinder has an inlet and gas is provided from the supply means to the inlet.
  • the supply means comprises a reservoir of pressurised gas and electrically activated means for releasing gas from the reservoir.
  • the electronically activated means may comprise an element which is urged to puncture a seal thereby allowing the gas to escape from the reservoir.
  • the outlet of the cylinder is in fluid flow communication with a delivery conduit.
  • the delivery conduit may, for example, be a spray bar which provides multiple fluid flow paths and exit apertures.
  • the use of such a spray bar ensures that the fluid, such as a spoiling agent can be delivered over substantially the whole of a protected space in which it is desired to mark those items in the event of an attack or a presumed attack.
  • the fluid contained within the fluid delivery system which serves to mark the items may be a ink or other staining media such that the items are permanently discoloured and thereby rendered unusable and worthless.
  • the fluid may contain invisible markers such that the contents may still be used but that they could be identified with suitable apparatus.
  • an invisible marker is known by the trade name "smart water" and is a solution containing trace elements. The combinations and ratios of trace elements differ from batch to batch so that individual batches can be identified and can be used to associate the valuable item with a particular theft.
  • outlet or the fluid delivery path further comprises a burst disk thereby ensuring that the fluid within the delivery system does not inadvertently leak out.
  • the fluid delivery system may further comprise a second cylinder having a second piston therein.
  • the second cylinder may have an inlet connected to the gas reservoir or to a further gas reservoir such that the second cylinder can also deliver a fluid when the supply means is actuated.
  • the second cylinder may, for example, contain the same fluid as the first cylinder thereby increasing the amount of fluid that can be delivered by the delivery system.
  • the second cylinder may be operated from a separate gas supply thereby giving the system some degree of fault tolerance.
  • the first and second cylinders may contain different fluids.
  • the fluids may be selected such that they react on mixing in order to give the beneficial or enhanced marking or spoiling effect.
  • an ink may be provided in one cylinder and a foaming agent and/or surfactant may be provided in the second cylinder and the mixture of the two fluids may result in the production of a coloured foam which serves to fill the volume containing the valuable items to be protected.
  • the cylinder may be closed by a removable opening thereby allowing the fluid contained within the cylinder to be periodically replaced.
  • the fluid is contained with a ruptureable fluid reservoir such that operation of the supply means causes the piston to bear against the fluid reservoir and to cause it to open such that its contents may be ejected via the outlet.
  • the fluid and the piston may be provided within a replaceable unit which itself is inserted into the cylinder.
  • a solid state gas generation system may be provided, for example fuel which can be electronically ignited to produce a rapid increase in gas pressure to cause motion of the piston.
  • a cash cassette for use within an automatic teller machine, wherein the cash cassette includes a fluid delivery system according to the first aspect of the present invention.
  • the ink delivery system schematically illustrated in Figure 1 comprises a cylinder 2 containing a spoiling agent 4 such as an ink.
  • the cylinder 2 has an inlet 6 and an outlet 8.
  • the inlet 6 is connected to a reservoir of pressurised gas 10.
  • a control valve 12 is provided between the reservoir 1.0 and the inlet 6 such that gas can be admitted into the cylinder 2 upon demand.
  • the control valve 12 is generally in the form of a pyrotechnic actuated pin arranged to puncture a closure of the reservoir 10.
  • the outlet 8 is connected to a spray bar 14 which comprises a plurality of delivery paths 16, 18 and 20 each having at least one aperture 22 through which the fluid 4 can be delivered.
  • a burst disc 26 is provided in order to prevent the fluid 4 from leaking into the spray bar 14.
  • a piston 30 is provided in substantially fluid sealed sliding engagement within the cylinder 2 and is located adjacent the inlet 6.
  • a controller 32 for operating the valve 12 is responsive to sensors 34 and 36 amongst other inputs in order to determine whether or not an attempt at theft or attack is occurring to a container protected by the delivery system.
  • the sensors 34 and 36 may comprise one or more of temperature sensors to determine whether an attempt is being made to open the container via thermal cutting or whether an attempt is being made to defeat the delivery system by freezing; motion sensors; sensors for detecting attempts to breach the integrity of the container; timers for determining that the container has not been delivered within an allotted time and the like.
  • the controller 32 determines that a theft is in progress, it sends a signal to the electrically controlled valve 12 to release pressurised gas from the reservoir 10.
  • the gas pressure presses against the piston 30 and urges it to move towards the outlet 8. In so doing, pressure within the cylinder increases thereby causing the burst disc 26 to rupture and then the fluid 4 is expelled through the outlet 8 and the spray bar 20
  • FIG. 2 schematically illustrates an embodiment of the invention in greater detail, like parts are referred to by like reference numbers.
  • two cylinders 2 are formed within a block of material 40.
  • the cylinders 2 are closed by end caps 42 and 44 which are bolted to the block 40.
  • Seals 46 are provided to ensure that there is no inadvertent leakage of fluid from the cylinders.
  • the gas reservoir 10, in the form of a CO 2 cylinder, such as an 8 gm CO 2 cylinder is connected via a T-piece manifold 48 to the inlet end cap 42.
  • a pyrotechnically operated operating means extends into the T-piece manifold opposite the cylinder 10 such that it can rupture a seal of the cylinder thereby allowing gas to escape.
  • a restrictor 50 is provided in an outlet path from the manifold 48 so as to control the rate of flow of gas from the gas reservoir 10 into the cylinders 2. Gas is delivered via internal delivery ducts in the end piece 42 to inlet apertures 6 of the cylinders. Similarly outlet paths are formed in the end piece 44 which are terminated by a burst disc 26 positioned adjacent to an outlet adapter 52 which may be formed of two inter-operable parts as shown in Figure 2.
  • the pistons 30 are provided O-ring seals 54 which serve to ensure that the pistons engage in substantially fluid sealed engagement with the cylinder without requiring the use of unnecessarily precise manufacturing tolerances.
  • the arrangement shown in Figure 2 can be assembled to form an ink injection module 70 which can be placed within the cash space within a cash cassette 72, as shown in Figure 3.
  • a delivery pipe 74 extends from the ink injection module 70 to an inlet manifold 76 of a spray bar 78.
  • the spray bar extends along the length of a cash containing region 80 thereby ensuring that ink in the injection module 70 can be sprayed onto all of the cash contained within the region 80 thereby marking all or substantially all of it to some degree in the event of an attempt of theft.
  • the provision of an ink injection module within the cash carrying cassette ensures that the external dimensions of the cassette do not become altered. This is important if the device is to be retrofitted into existing ATMs as it is not possible to economically redefine the layout of such devices.
  • the size of the ink injection module can be varied in accordance with the volume of ink contained therein to suit an operator's requirement concerning the level of stain or probability that any individual note will be stained.
  • the cylinder body 40 is formed either of an extruded plastic which is resistant to the organic solvents used in the ink/stains typically found in such degradation systems or from Aluminium.
  • the pistons are made of the same material as the cylinder body thereby ensuring that the coefficient thermal expansion is identical to that of the cylinder body.
  • the seals are advantageously of low friction PTFE. It is thus possible to provide a compact and robust spoiling agent delivery system which can operate to deliver the spoiling agent rapidly irrespective of the orientation of the delivery system and/or the container protected by such a delivery system.
