Abstract:
Procede et appareil d'emission d'instruments negociables tels que des cheques a partir d'un terminal comprenant des premiers moyens d'identification (32) pour identifier un numero d'un compte qui doit etre debite d'une quantite d'argent d'un cheque emis par le terminal, des seconds moyens d'identification (50, 272) pour entrer dans le terminal des donnees d'identification qui seront utilisees pour determiner s'il faut accepter ou rejeter un utilisateur du terminal pour emettre un cheque impute sur le compte, des moyens d'entree (34) pour entrer les donnees du cheque comprenant la quantite d'argent, des moyens de comparaison (244) pour comparer les donnees d'identification avec les donnees d'identification autorisee fournies au terminal et pour generer un signal d'acceptation ou un signal de rejet comme resultat de la comparaison, les moyens de comparaison (244) comparant egalement la quantite d'argent avec des criteres d'evaluation de ce compte fournis au terminal et pour generer un signal d'emission lorsque la comparaison associee est favorable, des moyens de transport (132, 166, 234) pour transporter un support d'enregistrement vers une station d'impression dans le terminal, et une imprimante pour imprimer le numero du compte et la quantite d'argent sur le support d'enregistrement dans la station d'impression en reponse au signal d'acceptation et au signal d'emission, apres quoi le support d'enregistrement devient le cheque, lequel est emis par le terminal.
Abstract:
01 DISTRIBUTEUR DE PAPIERS VALEUR The invention relates to record member dispensers for dispensing bills of currency, traveller's checks, coupons, and the like. Prior art dispensers have been limited by the restriction of withdrawals to a multiple of the amount contained in a prepared envelope or clip, the necessity of costly hardware to ensure the proper amount is being dispensed, or the necessity of a large number of precision metal parts. The instant invention overcomes these disadvantages by providing a simple and economic dispenser which ensures only a single record at a time is dispensed and allows any number of records to be dispensed. The dispenser includes: a carrier (58, 60, 62) detachably retaining bills, a drive arrangement (72, 106) for moving the carrier to position successive bills adjacent to a discharge opening (32), and a roller system (120, 124, 126) for removing successive bills from the carrier and for discharging the bills through the discharge opening. The carrier comprises a flexible strip (58) mounted between a supply reel (60) and a take up reel (82) having bills secured at intervals by adhesive. Alternatively, the bills may be secured by fingers integral with the strip. In an alternative embodiment, the strip is formed as an endless strip mounted in a fan folded configuration.
Abstract:
An apparatus for detecting the passage of multiple documents (10) in a transport system, including a pair of rollers (20, 22) between which said documents (10) are arranged to pass and which are displaceable by an extend dependent on the thickness of one document or multiple documents simultaneously passing therebetween. This displacement is measured by the movement of a graded density translucent member (34) between the photodiode (46) and sensor (40) of a detector (36). Electronic circuitry associated with the detector (36) indicates the presence of a record member (10) between the rollers (20, 22), and also the presence of multiple record members (10). The graded density of the member (34) allows the circuitry to detect only the displacement from the static position of the rollers (20, 22) eliminating the necessity for adjustment due to wear, temperature, and other mechanical factors.
