ABSTRACT:
An electromechanical vault cartridge receptacle has an opening for inserting a vault cartridge, the cartridge passing between a pair of laterally biased rollers which continuously engage asymmetrically contoured sided surfaces of the cartridge. A front surface edge of the cartridge bears upon and causes the backwards motion of a movable frame, the motion of which causes top and bottom surfaces of the cartridge to be securely engaged between an opposed pair of horizontally planar cartridge bearing members. The backwards motion of the movable frame also results in roller supporting members to be locked when the cartridge is fully inserted, thereby preventing lateral movement of the rollers. A cartridge ejecting means comprises electromechanical means adapted for engaging a back surface of the movable frame to move the movable frame in a forwards direction, disengaging the cartridge engaging members and unlocking the roller supporting members, whereby the cartridge is pushed back out of the opening.
