Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a media cassette for storing valuable media in sheet form. In particular, the invention relates to a media cassette for use in a self-service terminal (SST), such as a currency cassette for use in an Automated Teller Machine (ATM).
- Currency cassettes provide ATMs with a source of banknotes, and are strong metal or plastics boxes comprising a lid releasably coupled to a body. One end of the body includes a covered aperture that is automatically opened when the cassette is inserted into a currency dispenser, and automatically closed when the cassette is removed from the currency dispenser. The opposite end of the body includes a handle for carrying the cassette, and to aid insertion and removal of the cassette. When a cassette is inserted into a currency dispenser, only the handle end of the cassette is visible.
- Vacuum picking systems are used in automated teller machines for dispensing cash from such cassettes. Most of these include some form of pump mechanism for sucking air through a tube, which tube has a suction cup on its end. The suction cup is located on the end of a movable pick arm. In use, the arm and associated suction cup is moved into contact with a banknote, at the front of a stack of notes in the cassette, so that the suction created by the pump causes the banknote to stick to the cup.
- Also associated with each arm is gearing or other mechanical means for moving the end of the arm into contact with the banknote, and then towards a dispensing location. This gearing is normally powered by the AC motor.
- There is a known problem with vacuum pick mechanisms, known as double picking, when more than one note at a time is picked from the note stack, by the suction means. This problem is caused, in particular, by worn or poor quality notes. In addition, the use of polymer notes exacerbates this problem.
- Also, the action of the arm toward a note, to bring the suction cup into contact with the front most note in the note stack, and then away from the note stack to pick the front most note, can exacerbate the problem of double picking. This is due to the packing action which pushes notes together, however slightly, as the pick arm is brought into and out off contact with the note stack.
- Double picking of notes causes detrimental performance in ATM cash dispensers and results in overfilling of purge bins, to which double picked notes are diverted, requiring intervention by an ATM engineer.
- It is among the objects of an embodiment of the present invention to obviate or mitigate the above disadvantage or other disadvantages associated with media cassettes.
- According to a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a media cassette comprising: urging means for urging a stack of media items to one end of the cassette such that the front most media item in the stack can be picked from the cassette; and a media item separator, located adjacent said one end of the cassette, the separator being adapted to utilise the motion of said stack during the picking of the front most media item to separate each media item from adjacent media items in, at least, a portion of said stack.
- In one embodiment the item separator has a substantially saw tooth cross-section.
- Preferably, each tooth in the item separator has a leading edge which is substantially vertical.
- Preferably each tooth in the item separator has a 45 degree angle to the leading edge of the following tooth.
- Most preferably the urging means comprises a pusher plate slidably mounted on a ratchet for urging media items towards said one end of the cassette.
- According to a second aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of picking a media item from a media cassette comprising urging means for urging a stack of media items to one end of the cassette such that the front most media item in the stack can be picked from the cassette and a media item separator, located adjacent said one end of the cassette, the method including the step of utilising the motion of said stack during the picking of the front most media item to pass, at least, a portion of the media items in the stack across the separator so as to separate each media item from adjacent media items in, at least, a portion of said stack.
- Preferably the motion of said stack during the picking of the front most media item is a forward and reverse motion along an axis running the length of the cassette towards said one end of the cassette.
- According to a third aspect of the present invention there is provided an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) having a pick mechanism including a pick arm; and a media cassette comprising: urging means for urging a stack of media items to one end of the cassette such that the front most media item in the stack can be picked from the cassette by the pick arm being moved into contact with said note stack, the cassette further including a media item separator, located adjacent said one end of the cassette, the separator being adapted to utilise the motion of said stack during the picking of the front most media item, by said pick arm to separate each media item from adjacent media items in, at least, a portion of said stack.
- The word "media" is used herein in a generic sense to denote one or more items, documents, or such like having a generally laminar sheet form, such as but not limited to bank notes.
- Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Fig 1 is a schematic perspective view of a media cassette according to one embodiment of the present invention;
- Fig 2 is a schematic perspective view of a body portion of the interior of the cassette of Fig 1;
- Fig 3 is a schematic perspective underside view of a lid portion of the cassette of Fig 1;
- Fig 4 is a schematic plan view of the body portion of the cassette of Fig 2;
- Fig. 5 is a schematic view of one embodiment of a note separator means in accordance with the present invention;
- Fig. 6 is a rear view of an Automated Teller Machine in accordance with another aspect of the present invention.
- Referring to Figs 1 to 4, a
media cassette 10, in the form of a polycarbonate currency cassette for storing banknotes, has alid 12 secured to abody 14 by alatch 16. Thebody 14 has ahandle 18 pivotably mounted at ahandle end 20, and apick area 22 at apick end 24 opposite thehandle end 20. - A
pusher plate 26 is mounted on alinear ratchet 28 extending from thehandle end 20 to thepick end 24, and is urged towards thepick end 24 by a resilient member (not shown). Thepusher plate 26 is made of metal and is mounted above twolateral guides banknotes 34 as the banknotes are urged towards thepick end 24. - The
body 14 has aroller shutter 36 covering thepick area 22, so that when thecassette 10 is inserted into an ATM (not shown), tines in the ATM engage with recesses (not shown) in thebody 14, and theroller shutter 36 is automatically lowered by the tines to allowbanknotes 34 to be picked from thepick area 22 by a cashdispenser pick unit 95 in the ATM 100 (Figure 7)). When thecassette 10 is removed from theATM 100, the tines in the ATM disengage from the recesses (not shown) in thebody 14, and theroller shutter 36 is urged upwards to cover thepick area 22 and prevent access to thebanknotes 34 in thecassette 10. - The underside of the
lid 12 includes two banknote long-edge aligners 38 mounted onadjustable spacers 40. Thealigners 38 preventbanknotes 34 stored within thecassette 10 from moving towards thelid 12 during transportation. - The pressure exerted by the
pusher plate 26 towards thepick area 22, plus the downward pressure of thelong edge aligners 38 combine to tightly pack the notes in thecassette 10. - As mentioned above, due to this tight packing, and the poor quality of some notes, it is possible for two notes to be picked simultaneously, especially when vacuum picking is utilised
- This problem is addressed by the use of a cassette, in accordance with the present invention, as illustrated in particular in Figures 2 & 5. The
media cassette 10 comprises urging means in the form of thepusher plate 26 for urging a stack ofmedia items 34 to oneend 24 of thecassette 10 such that the front most media item in the stack can be picked from the cassette. The cassette further includes amedia item separator 80, located adjacent said oneend 24 of thecassette 10, theseparator 80 being adapted to utilise the motion of saidstack 34 during the picking of the frontmost media item 35 to separate each media item from adjacent media items in, at least, a portion of saidstack 34. - As can be seen most clearly in Figure 5, in one embodiment the
separator 80 has a substantially saw tooth cross-section, the leading edge of which is substantially vertical, if the base of the cassette is taken as the horizontal plane. Also each tooth in the item separator has a 45 degree angle to the leading edge of the following tooth. - When in use, the
cassette 10 minimises double picking of notes by utilising the action of the pick arm 90 (Fig. 7). As the pick arm, in any cassette, is brought into contact with the frontmost note 35 in thestack 34 the momentum of the pick arm pushes the note stack back away from thepick end 24 of thecassette 10. As the vacuum is activated the frontmost note 35 is drawn forward (towards the pick end 24) and ultimately from thecassette 10 and into the pick mechanism 95 (Fig, 7). The action of picking bank notes from thestack 34 therefore causes an oscillating movement of, at least, a portion of the note stack 34 towards and away frompick area 24. In prior art cassettes this motion only adds to the concentration and packing of the notes in thestack 34. However, in the cassette in accordance with the present invention, the oscillation of thenote stack 34 combs the stack backwards and forwards over thenote separator 80, which separated adjacent notes in the stack. Thus thepick arm 90 is more likely to pick a single note from the stack instead of double picking the first two (or more) notes. - Various modifications may be made to the above described embodiment within the scope of the invention
