DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention relates to a container for receiving bank notes in a bank note dispensing device with a closable housing, which container has an inlet opening for the bank notes, with two cooperating driven rollers arranged in or near the inlet opening defining a draw-in gap for the drawing in of bank notes.
In bank note dispensing devices containers are as a rule provided which have the purpose of receiving individual bank notes, or bundles of the same, which because of some error function or disturbance in the bank note dispensing device should not be or cannot be dispensed to the customers. These bank notes were formerly not separately collected in the customary containers, referred to as reject-cassettes.
In practice cases have now appeared in which for example a bank note bundle has been correctly assembled and placed at the disposable of the customer so that the customer was able to remove the bank note bundle, but the bundle was not removed or not completely removed. In such case it is necessary that the bank notes made available but not taken, after the lapse of a pre-given time span, are again drawn into the machine. If they are then transferred to the customer reject-cassette they can no longer by associated with an individual customer. It therefore becomes no longer determinable whether the customer actually has or has not taken all of the bank notes made available to him.
The invention has as its object the provision of a container of the previously mentioned type which makes it possible to take back bank notes so that they can be associated with a given transaction.
This object is solved in accordance with the invention in that the container includes a plurality of compartments for receiving bank notes and in that the openings of the compartments are selectively connectable with the draw-in gap.
One of the compartments can therefore be designated to receive all of those bank notes for which an association with a given transaction is not necessary. The remaining compartments can then be used to receive bank notes which later have to be associated with given transactions. Since the number of such transactions occurring inside of 24 hours is as a rule limited, a limited number of compartments is sufficient.
Preferably one of the compartments is formed by a section of the housing, while the remaining compartments are formed by compartment walls parallel to the draw-in gap and separated from one another in a frame, which frame is pivotally supported for movement about a pivot axis parallel to the draw-in gap, that the receiving openings of the compartments can be sequentially brought into alignment with the draw-in gap by pivoting of the frame. All bank notes which need not be associated with a given transaction are conducted to the housing section. The bank notes or bank note bundles for which an identification is to be made, are in contrast delivered to the compartments formed by the pivotal frame, with a corresponding compartment being brought into alignment with the draw-in gap before the drawing in of the bank notes or bank note bundles. The compartment number is associated with the transaction, so that the contents of the compartment can later be transmitted or credited to the customer.
To assure a trouble-free entry of the bank notes or bank note bundles into the associated compartments it is desirable if tongues are formed on the edge of each compartment wall facing the draw-in gap, which tongues are receivable in complementary circumferential grooves in one of the draw-in rollers. Thereby a gapless transfer of the bank notes from the draw-in gap to the assigned compartment is made. So that the bank notes cannot hang up on the edges lying between the tongues it is desirable if these edge sections are inclined relative to the direction of the draw-in gap.
If the bank notes are to be conducted to the general receiving compartment, that is to the housing section, this can occur in a simple way if the frame is pivoted out of the path of the draw-in gap with the pivotal frame on an outer side bein
