Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a banknote theft prevention device which is a security system incorporated in a cash dispenser installed in each financial institution, and detects intentional power-off or vandalism by a criminal. In addition, the present invention relates to a banknote theft prevention device that makes cuts in stored banknotes unusable.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various devices for storing cash therein, such as an automatic cash dispenser and a vending machine, are provided with various security systems in preparation for theft. For example, a system that activates an alarm to prevent theft in cooperation with an external security agency is well known.

[0003] In addition, as a system for performing some kind of marking on the stored cash in response to an abnormal situation such as a theft act, for example, ink is applied or sprayed on a bill so that the stolen bill cannot be used in the market. Various configurations are also known for the system to be set.

[0004] Specifically, for example, a first ink tank main body containing a liquid coloring material, a detachable second storage tank containing a compressed gas, and a compressed gas discharged from the second storage tank if required by a detecting device. An actuating device in contact with the second reservoir connected to the sensing device for carrying out, a device suitable for being incorporated in a banknote storage having discharge means connected to the first ink reservoir via a holding valve, A banknote storage, wherein the first ink reservoir defines a second compartment expanded by compressed gas released from the second reservoir in response to the sensing device, and has an elastic sealing film extending substantially to one side. An apparatus for use is known (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-9787).

[0005] However, the system for ejecting or applying ink to the above-mentioned banknotes has a structure in which the banknotes are accommodated, for example, in the case of a large number of stacked banknotes, for example, for a banknote positioned at an intermediate portion of the banknote bundle. In other words, the paint is not always uniformly sprayed, and a considerable number of banknotes to which no ink is applied may remain.

[0006] In this case, unauthorized use of stolen banknotes cannot be completely eliminated, and thorough prevention of theft and suppression of criminal acts become difficult.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and has as its object the object of the present invention when an act such as turning off a power supply to an automatic cash dispenser is performed. To provide an automatic cash dispenser bill theft device that can prevent theft by incorporating a system in the automatic cash dispenser based on the detection, and making a cut in the stored bill based on the detection. It is.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to achieve the above-mentioned object, and is intended to provide a banknote theft prevention device incorporated in an automatic cash dispenser installed in each financial institution. A rotating blade (K), which has a detection sensor for detecting an abnormal situation such as intentional power-off or vandalism of the payment machine, and which is rotated by a motor (M1) driven by the operation of the inspection sensor, is used for automatic cash payment. The bills loaded and stored in the machine are moved longitudinally or transversely by a motor (M2) driven according to the mode of loading and storage, and a cut is made in the bill to reveal that it is a stolen bill. It is a feature.

The banknote theft prevention device of the present invention is configured as described above, so that all the banknotes stored in the automatic cash dispenser are cut evenly regardless of the loading mode and amount. It is possible to completely prevent unauthorized use, and it is possible to completely prevent theft.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

[0011] In order to delay the smooth operation of the alarm device with respect to the automatic teller machine, the power of the automatic teller machine is cut off in advance, and then the case of stealing the stored bills, the deduction of bills from direct vandalism, Cases have been seen recently in which fleeing quickly and completing actions before arranging external security agencies.

According to this method, a security system such as an alarm device cannot completely prevent criminal acts.

On the other hand, in the above-described ink jetting system for bills, although it is possible to effectively cope with the above-mentioned method, in a mode in which bills are stored, for example, in a bill stacked in a large amount. For example, paint is not always uniformly sprayed on the banknote positioned in the middle part of the banknote bundle, there is a possibility that a considerable number of banknotes to which no ink is applied may remain, completely eliminating unauthorized use of stolen banknotes It is difficult to prevent thief and curb criminal acts.

The characteristic structure of the banknote theft prevention device of the present invention is that an abnormal situation such as a case where the power of the automatic cash dispenser is intentionally turned off or a case where vandalism is performed on the main body of the dispenser occurs. In this case, the detection sensor incorporated in the apparatus of the present invention responds, and drives the similarly equipped motor.

Then, the rotary blade (K) connected to the drive motor (M1) rotates.

The driving mechanism uses a known means. For example, a mechanism in which a rotating blade rotates by a cam rotating with the rotation of the motor via a belt or a chain or a rotation of the motor is used. A mechanism in which a rotary blade directly rotates is used.

In addition, the rotating blade is provided in accordance with the sanctions of the bill.
It is configured to move up and down or back and forth. That is,
In the automatic cash dispenser, the accommodation mode of the bills may be one in which the banknotes are stacked in the vertical direction and the other case in which the banknotes are bundled and placed in the horizontal direction. In addition, by selecting vertical operation in the case of vertical accommodation and front-back operation in the case of horizontal accommodation, it is possible to make a notch evenly in all the stored banknotes.

[0018]

The bill antitheft device according to the present invention has the following effects since it is constructed as described above.

Regarding the banknotes stored in the automatic cash dispenser, all the banknotes can be cut evenly regardless of the loading mode and amount of the banknotes. Complete prevention can be achieved.
