ABSTRACT:
A machine and method for automatically unloading a cassette from a loaded security package of the type having a storage compartment and an access opening providing access into the compartment, and further having a lock plate movable over the access opening and into a locked position to block removal of the cassette from the security package. The security package is fed into an unload station by a pressure-actuated slide plate. Thereafter, a pressure-actuated unlock cylinder will automatically insert a plurality of pins into engagement with locking projections on the security package to disengage the lock plate from the locking projections. A pressure-actuated cylinder then will move the lock plate away from the access opening allowing free access to the storage compartment within the security package. A pressure-actuated pusher pad mounted vertically above the load package, will force one end of the cassette through the access opening, permitting the remainder of the cassette to fall through the access opening and into a collection hopper or conveyor. The empty security package then is discharged from the unload station as the next loaded security package is moved into position for unloading at the unload station.
