An automatic banknote dispenser (19), a transfer means (28), and a transport tube (1) are automatically controlled by a unit (18) in response to data from a terminal (12) so that banknotes are delivered to the appropriate transaction location (11) by a shuttle moving through the tube. A captive shuttle, a transfer pick-up, and an air/fluid pump are described.

Description

PAPER CURRENCY & DOCUMENT SECURE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
This invention relates to a distribution system, a transport system, an air/fluid pump, a shuttle, and a pick-up device, particularly for handling paper currency.
In one aspect the invention provides a paper currency distribution system comprising :-
(a) an automatic banknote dispenser at a first location;
(b) a data input terminal at a transaction location remote from the first location;
(c) a transport tube having a first station at the first location and a second station at the transaction location;
(d) a receptacle movable through the tube(including a reversible air motor);
(e) transport means for moving the receptacle along the tube;
(f) transfer means for transferring banknotes from the dispenser to the receptacle at the first station; and
(g) control means arranged to control the dispenser, the transfer means , and the transport means automatically in response to data from the terminal so that banknotes dispensed by the dispenser are transferred to the receptacle at the first station and transported to the second station. Thus it becomes unnecessary to store any paper money at the transaction location, banknotes are transported via a relatively secure route, and the dispenser and its supply of money can be kept at a secure or inaccessible location.
In other aspects the invention provides a transport system, a shuttle, and a pick-up device as set forth in the independent claims. The various other aspects can be used in the above-mentioned distribution system or in other systems, independently or in combination with one another.
Preferred features and optional features are set forth in the subordinate claims.
The invention will be described further, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, for a four location system, although more or less locations are equally valid. The drawings are listed below with their references; Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a paper currency distribution system; Figure 2 is a part cut-away perspective view of part of the distribution system, which part is at a secure location; Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a transport system which may be used in the distribution system; Figure 4 is a perspective view of a paper currency pick-up device; Figure 5 is a perspective view of the pick-up device with banknotes; Figure 6 is an end view of the pick-up device; Figure 7 is a part-sectional perspective view of a paper currency transport shuttle which may be used in the transport system of Figure 3; Figure 8 is a view on line A-A in Figure 7, with a quantity of paper currency and also showing two sensors; Figure 9 shows the shuttle in a tube and co-operating with a rotating device; and Figure 10 shows the same part of the tube as in Figure 9 but without the shuttle and rotating device. The paper currency distribution system illustrated in Fig 1 has four transaction locations 11 (e.g. tellers' desks or customer operated terminals), only one of which is shown, each provided with a data input terminal 12 comprising a visual display unit 13 and a keyboard 14. Each terminal 12 is connected by a data link 16 to a microprocessor 17 forming part of a control unit 18 at a secure location remote from the transaction locations 11 (e.g. in a strong-room or vault).
Refering to Fig 2, the following action takes place. In response to data from the terminal 12 the control unit 18 controls an automatic dispenser 19 which dispenses the required amount of banknotes from an outlet 21. The unit 18 also controls transfer means comprising a pick-up device 22 (which may be constructed as described below with reference to Figures 4 to 6) which automatically picks up the banknotes, turns them through 90? about a vertical axis moves them along a guideway 23, and deposits the banknotes in a selected one of four slots 24 communicating with respective send/receive stations of four respective transport tubes 1,2,3,4 leading to respective send/receive stations at the four respective transaction locations 11.
With reference to Fig 3, in the selected tube the banknotes are deposited vertically in a receptacle 26 (which may be in the form of a shuttle as described below with reference to Figures 7 to 10), the receptacle being in an end stop position at a send/receive station of the tube beiow the siot 24 in a lockaWe bin 27 which connects with a switcnabie supply of air pressure and vacuum as a means for transporting the receptacle along the tuba Again under the control of unit 18, Fig 2, the supply 28 is switched from the vacuum side 29 to the pressure side 31 so that the receptacle 26 (shown in dark shading) is rapidly transported (e.g. at upto 5 metres/sec ) to an end stop position (shown in light shading) at the send/receive station at the other end of the tube, i.a at the selected transaction location 11. Here the receptacle 26 may be automatically turned through 180° to discharge the banknotes; alternatively the receptacle can be left upright and the banknotes can be lifted (manually or automatically) or ejected from it. In neither case is it necessary to separate any part of the receptacle from the tube.
The transport system, shown in Rgure 3, can also be used to deposit cash, documents, etc. in the receiving bin 27. I n this case, with trie receptacle 26 upwardly open at the transaction location 11 the cash etc. is deposited in the receptacle and the supply 28 is switched back to the vacuum side 29 so that the receptacle is transported back to the bin 27. Here the receptade is inverted so that the cash etc. is ejected into the bin 27 corresponding to the transaction location 11.
Another transport means (e.g. a linear motor or a chain drive) could be used, instead of pneumatic pressure, to move the receptade along the tuba
The pick-up arm shown in Figure 4 to 6 is constructed from a U-shaped metal component 113 onto which are attached by screws two side plates 115. Each side plate 115 is of three layer plastic and/or metal construction bonded in a sealed sandwich manner. The middle layer 115a has connecting ducts 105 which provide a channel between a union tube 120 and pressure points 117. These pressure points can be formed from devices such as instrument-standard bellows or may take the form of pistoπ-and-cyiinder devices. In all cases the pressure points can move to fill the available space between the side plate components 115. Therefore any sincje or multiple banknote combination within the gap 119 between the pressure points will be securely held.
When the pick-up arm is required to operate, a pressure signal is applied via a tube 114. The hydraulic or pneumatic signal is ducted via the union tube 120 and distributed via the internal ducting within the side plates 115 to activate the pressure points 117, in such a manner as to doss the gap 119. A pair of serni-rig'd plastic sheets 118 are attached to the faces of the pressure points and are formed to act as a tapered lead-in entry for the paper banknotes Thus, when the pick-up arm is lowered onto the edge of a stack of banknotes, the banknotes are guided into a preferred central location as shown in Figure 5. Figure 6 shows a side view of the pick-up arm The union tube 120 is shown with a hollow centre connecting into the side plates 115 where the channeling to the pressure points 117 is arranged. All of this duct-work sub-system is sealed to prevent loss of pressure of the activating medium The whole pick-up assembly is attached to a telescopic arrangement 112 which provides a vertical up or down motion, preferably within set limits when picking up or pladng banknotes A swivel collar 116 allows turning of the pick-up arms and may be indexed to provide discrete angular positions using electrical or mechanical methods The degree of pressure introduced into the system via union 120 can be increased linearly with the number of banknotes to provide increased lifting power for larger quantities of banknotes.
Replacement of the pressure signal with a vacuum signal can be used to ensure speedy withdrawal the pressure points to allow rapid pick and place routines It is necessary to maintain the pressure until the bank/iotes have been uplifted and placed onto a conveyor system. The actual movement of the pick-up arm from the pick-up to place-down location can be by any well-known electrical or mechanical linear motion system such as a simple trolley running on a guide rail. The signals applied to the pressure points may be pressure signals or vacuum s'gnals opposed by spring means I n one embodiment the spring means may cause the gripping of the banknotes, the grip being released by a pressure or vacuum signal; in this case the banknotes will not drop out if the pressure or vacuum fails.
In another possible embodiment the pressure points can comprise solenoids operated by d.c electrical signals.
The shuttle comprises a main U section component 210 together with end components 213, and magnetic discs 215. End plates 216 and balance spigots 214 are free to rotate about a roll axis Z on ball bearings, running within annular rings 211. Whilst tπis r l action is taking place the annular rings 211 with associated air seals 212 are in contact with the inner surface of the air conveyor tube and are held steady by friction.
The flanges on the top edge of the U components 210 are formed in such a manner as to provide a reflective surface to signals from an op.to-eJectronic sensor 205. Two such sensors 205 are employed and can provide data which is used to monitor two possible positions of the U component 210: upright as shown in Fig. 8 or inverted through 180°, which is the position for releasing its contents Fig 9 indicates how inversion may be achieved by the use of a catch plate 200 with a suitable cut-out to accept a balance spigot 214. Torque T is applied when it is required to dispense the shuttle contents.
The data available, by using sensing via reed relay switches, from the magnetic discs 215 can be "shuttle velodty' and "position" within the air tube. This data can be utilised by a microprocessor to accurately manage the shuttle's performance in a real time conveyor system.
The weight of the spigots 214 (one at each end) stabilizes the shuttle component 210 in the upright position in which the contents (banknotes 220) can be inserted through an upper slot 230 in the air tube 240. On inversion the contents fall through a lower slot 250 in the air tube. A catch plate 200 can be provided at each end of the tube in order to prevent removal of the shuttle from the tube.
