ABSTRACT:
A conveyor system for moving a container, such as a cash box, between a main station, such as a bank building, and one or more secondary stations, such as an automatic teller machine. The conveyor includes at least two continuous smooth tubes running between the stations. A carriage rides along the tubes on two sets of wheels to keep the carriage in the desired alignment. A bracket secures the carriage to a movable cable that runs adjacent to the tube and is entrained over a plurality of pulleys. The bracket is configured to lift the cable away from individual pulleys as the bracket passes each pulley to avoid contact between bracket and cable. A drive mechanism moves the cable to move the carriage between stations. This system is adapted to move the carriage through a tunnel in an overhead canopy or through an underground tunnel where, for example, the carriage carries a cash box to drive-up automatic teller machines. This is a highly reliable, highly secure system particularly adapted to conveying cash or the like.
