ABSTRACT:
A fare collection system using a bus fare box that receives and counts paper currency and paper transfers and tickets into a paper collection chamber and receives and counts coins into a coin collection chamber and receives and collects operating data into a data storage unit, the operating data including fare classification, bus identification and mileage; a secure coupling is made to the fare box chambers and the data storage unit after satisfying mechanical and pneumatic and electrical security devices so as pneumatically to convey from the chambers the papers and coins therein to a central processing unit and to convey the data stored in the data storage unit to a data collection center; the paper is first conveyed in an air stream and separated from the air stream and deposited into a storage vault therefor, after which the coins are conveyed to a coin slowdown device and then discharged to a sorter-counter-recorder for coins and then to a secure storage vault, the air stream being pulsed during conveying of the paper and the coins to prevent clogging and clinging thereof to the walls of the various conduits through which the air stream passes; the intensity of the air stream is decreased during the conveying of the paper, increased during the conveying of the coins and thereafter again decreased and an air stream is directed countercurrent to the coins during dumping thereof into the coin-sorter-recorder to separate any retained paper therefrom; there also is disclosed a novel fare box, a novel paper counter-measurer, a novel extractor coupling, a novel slowdown mechanism, a novel coin sorter-counter and a novel fare box coin registering device.
