ABSTRACT:
A pneumatic tube conveyor dispatcher for converting a pneumatic tube free dispatch system into a pneumatic tube controlled dispatch system. The dispatcher comprises a housing having a rear portion which matingly engages an existing terminal of the free dispatch system such that a carrier storage chamber within the dispatcher housing communicates with the inlet opening of the delivery tube of the free dispatch system. The dispatcher housing includes a door permitting access to the carrier chamber to enable an operator to position a carrier therein. Sensing means associated with the housing chamber senses the presence of the carrier and, in response to a predetermined signal, is operative to actuate a drive mechanism which moves a slider plate from across the terminal inlet opening to communicate the carrier with the pneumatic tube whereby the differential pressure across the carrier results in a force which acts on the carrier to transfer the carrier into the tube.
