Dispensing of money - device for an automatic bank number point

摘要

An automatic banking unit at a remote customer station having a mechanism to dispense currency in response to the presentation of coded card means for verification and authorization followed by keyboard entries of data necessary to actuate the currency dispensing mechanism from which a selected number of paper money bills is delivered to a rotary cash drawer pocket normally located in a drawer "home" currency-receiving position. The drawer then rotates to an "open" position which permits the customer to remove the currency from the pocket. Upon removal, the drawer returns to a "dump" position for dumping any object remaining in the pocket. Then the drawer returns to "home" position, ready for another dispensing cycle of movement. The rotary drawer is equipped with sensor means which detect the presence or absence of currency in the drawer pocket so as to signal the fact that currency has been completely removed by a customer when removing currency from the drawer in open position. The drawer is equipped with locking mechanism to hold the drawer locked in "home" position, except during a dispensing cycle of movement; and also is equipped with means to prevent reverse movement of the drawer toward open position during its movement toward "dump" position.
