BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a wall-mounted apparatus for dispensing valuable papers, such as banknotes, cheques etc., from a store to a customer receipt opening and/or for depositing such valuable papers in a safety-deposit chamber in said apparatus.
The apparatus comprises a cabinet for housing such apparatus components as said store and/or said safety-deposit chamber, a transport means for transporting valuable papers from the store to the customer receipt opening and/or for feeding such valuable papers to the safety-deposit chamber, at least one keyboard, an electronic unit for controlling the dispensing operation, and an energy supply unit for supplying energy to the electronic unit, transport means etc.
BACKGROUND ART
Apparatus of the aforementioned kind are previously known, for example in the form of banknote dispensing apparatus, so-called autobanks. Such unmanned apparatus enable customers to withdraw cash from outside the bank, for example at times when the banks are normally closed or when there are long queues at the counters. The installation of such cash dispensers in existing bank buildings required complicated and expensive work to be carried out on the walls of said buildings. The object of the present invention is to eliminate this disadvantage and to not only simplify the installation work and to reduce the amount of time required for such work, but also to render the apparatus more secure against robbery.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the invention the cabinet housing of an apparatus of the aforementioned kind is divided into two part cabinets, each of which is intended to be placed on a respective side of a wall. Arranged between the part cabinets is a part of a transport means which is intended to be placed in the wall and the cross-sectional area of which is substantially smaller than the cross-sectional area of at least the one part cabinet, as seen perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the transport means through the wall.
According to a further development of the invention, the extension of the one part cabinet is much smaller than the extension of the other part cabinet, when seen in the longitudinal direction of the transport means. The said one part cabinet houses the keyboard (optionally several keyboards), the customer receipt opening and a card reader, while the other part cabinet houses a security safe with stores of banknotes, optionally of various denominations.
These and other characterizing features of the invention are disclosed in the following claims.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The invention will now be described more clearly with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which
FIG. 1 is a front view of one part cabinet,
FIG. 2 illustrates said one part cabinet and a mounting plate,
FIG. 3 illustrates the second part cabinet and a base,
FIG. 4 is a rear view of the other part cabinet, with said store etc., withdrawn from the cabinet,
FIG. 5 is an exploded view of the two part cabinets, the mounting plate and a part of a wall,
FIG. 6 illustrates a number of different positions in which the said one part cabinet can be placed, and
FIG. 7 illustrates a modified embodiment of the one part cabinet, and
FIG. 8 illustrates an embodiment of a transport means having a length which in accordance with the invention has been adjusted to the distance between the two part cabinets.
PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 is a front view of part of an apparatus for dispensing valuable papers, such as banknotes for example. This illustrated part of the apparatus is housed in a part cabinet 11, which is mounted on a wall 101, for example a wall in a bank. The part cabinet has a relatively large, rectangular opening 13, which can be closed by means of a movably arranged sheet 12 of transparent material. In FIG. 1, the sheet is shown displaced to the left, into the part cabinet, so that only the right hand edge of the sheet is visible. Arranged in the opening 13 is a first keyboard 15 having six buttons, numbered 10,
