FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a device of deposit or deposit and dispensing, for values as 5 banknotes, checks and/or documents including a container having an interface section and a receiving section.

More specifically, the invention relates to a device of deposit or deposit and dispensing for values as banknotes, checks and/or documents, including a container having an interface section and a receiving section, in which the interface section temporarily0 receives incoming values, or temporarily receives incoming values and lodges values to be dispensed and in which a value stack is formed in the receiving section, according to the introductory portion of the principal claim.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Devices of this type are generally used in automatic machines for the deposit and the5 dispensing of banknotes, in which the deposited banknotes are stacked in housings integrated in the machine for following processing, and in boxes detachable for the emptying or recharging.

There are known several types of machines, of reduced dimensions, for validating, reading and counting banknotes: such machines represent a great help to the tellers as for the0 velocity and the guarantee against the counterfacing in operations of deposit and in transactions. The banknotes, collected after validation and counting, are processed manually or automatically in other expensive and cumbersome equipments.

Examples of devices for deposit and dispensing of banknotes are also known, which are directed to facilitate the introduction and the orderly stacking of banknotes in containers5 or boxes of teller machines. For separating the input of the container from the first banknote of the stack, brushes or wheels with yieldable spokes are often used, which operate on the stack and maintain the first banknote of the stack spaced away from a respective space of insertion. A movable pusher adjusts the space of formation of the stack, while guiding members guide the entering banknotes up to the wheels with yieldable spokes.

0 These known devices for deposit and dispensing of banknotes or other values are generally complex and/or cumbersome and expensive and unsuitable to be used in automatic machines to be installed close to cash locations. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A machine for the automatic processing of values as banknotes, checks and/or documents is represented with 17 in Fig. 1. The machine 17 comprises an upper module 18 and a store 19 provided of a passage of communication 20. The upper module 18 includes an interface unit 21 for the user, a calculation and validation unit 22 and an electronic control unit 23 which, to the ends of the present invention, can be of known type.

The store 19 lodges a transport mechanism 24 for the single banknotes or the single checks and/or documents with moving in vertical and respective devices of deposit and dispensing for values as banknotes, checks and/or documents, represented with 27 according to a first embodiment of the invention. The transport mechanism 24 has a series of transport sections 26-1,.., 26-i, 26-n, associated with single denominations of banknotes and single typologies of checks and/or documents. The devices 27 are accessible from the transport sections 26-1,.., 26-i,..., 26-n through controlled diverters, not shown in the figures, paths of deposit 28 and stacking wheels 29. For the dispensing, a separation roller 31 or other suitable separation member is associated to each device 27, while the separated values are addressed to the transport sections 26-1,.., 26-i,..., 26-n through a respective path of dispensing 32.

Each device of deposit and dispensing 27 (Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) comprises a container 41 of substantially parallelepiped shape with a conventional front opening, an interface section 42 and a receiving section 44. Incoming values, as banknotes, checks and/or documents 43, or values as banknotes, checks and/or documents to be dispensed are temporarily received and lodged in the interface section 42. A value stack 46, constituted by stored values, as banknotes, checks and/or documents 43 is formed in the receiving section 44. A movable pusher or support 47 (Fig. 1) operates on the back of the stack 46 and is shiftable forth and back, for instance, through transmission belts 50, by a motor not shown in the drawings under the control of the electronic unity 23 of the machine. For the deposit of the values 43, the stack 46 is shifted backward together with the pusher or support 47. Thus the first component of the value stack 46 is positioned back in a predetermined position for the temporary acceptance of the incoming values 43 in the interface section 42; thereafter, the position of the stack is updated after the addition of the entered values to the stack. For the dispensing, the pusher or support 47 is shifted forward to put the first value of the stack 46 in contact with the separation roller 29 or the other separation member for the unstacking operations.

In the machine 17, the devices of deposit and dispensing 27 are arranged overlapped, with extension in horizontal of the containers 41 and the value stacks 46, upright asset of the values and sense of stacking in horizontal. However, the devices 27 can also operate with machines for the automatic processing of values, providing the moving in horizontal of the values 43, arrangement in vertical of the containers 41 and the value stacks 46, horizontal asset of the values and upper down sense of stacking.

Each of the containers 41 is provided for receiving and dispensing a specific denomination of values as banknotes or a specific typology of checks and/or documents. Thus, the length and the width in section of a given container are of few longer of the length and the width of the banknotes, checks and/or documents to be stored. Elastically yieldable stops 51 are interposed between the interface section 42 and the receiving section 44. In detail, for the deposit of the values 43, the pusher or support 47 is shifted backward so as to allow the first component of the stack to be adjacent to the yieldable stops 51 in the sense of the stacking, downstream of these stops.

According to the invention, each deposit and dispensing device 27 includes articulated lugs or hooks 52, in detail lugs 52-1, 52-2 and 52-3, provided for movement with respect to the container 41 in the direction of the stacking. Specifically, the lugs 52 are movable between an opening asset, (Figs. 2, 4, 6a, 7b, 7c and 7f), and a hooking and dragging asset (Figs. 3, 5 and 6b, 7a, 7d and 7e).

In a phase of deposit, with the opening asset (Figs. 2, 4, 6a, 7b and 7c), the lugs 52 allow the values, as banknotes, checks and/or documents 43 to be received in the interface section 42. With the hooking and dragging asset, the lugs 52 are provided for engaging the values 43 of the interface section 42, and shifting these values into the receiving section 44, in addition to the other components of the value stack 46.

In a phase of dispensing (Fig. 7f) with the opening asset, the lugs 52 allow the pusher or support 47 to move forward the value stack 46 or portion of the stack 46, in the interface section 42 for the dispensing by means of the separation roller 29 or the other separation member. At the end of the dispensing and in the hooking and dragging asset, the lugs 52 are arranged for holding back and dragging backward the components of the stack 46 of the interface section in the receiving section 44, jointly with the backward movement of the support 47, up to positioning the first component of the stack downstream of the arrest 51.

The lugs 52-1 , 52-2 and 52-3 are fulcrumed on respective sliders 53, in detail sliders 53-1 , 53-2 and 53-3, provided for shifting between a position of reception and one or more positions of stacking, and in which the positions of reception and stacking are, respectively, associated with the receiving and stacking or the dispensing of the values 43. In detail, the lugs 52-1 and 52-2 operate on the shorter edges of the banknotes, checks and/or documents, while the lug 52-3 operates on the longer edges thereof. Another lug 52 and another slider 53 can be provided for operating on the other longer edges of the values 43.

The container 41 defines corresponding slots 54 for freely lodging the lugs 52-1, 52-2 and 52-3 and in which the slots 54 are extended at least through the depth of the interface section 42. The sliders 53-1 , 53-2 and 53-3 are slidable in a hollow space between the container 41 and a shell 56, parallel to the direction of stacking. The sliders 53-1 , 53-2 and 53-3 are controlled by moving members of known type, for instance a motor not shown in the drawings, controlled by the electronic unit 23 of the machine 17 and can be connected by a crossbar 57 for a common movement thereof.

The yieldable stops 51 include leaf springs, each one having a fixing portion lodged in the hollow space between the container 41 and the shell 56 and an active "V" shaped portion, projecting of few through respective windows 58 of the container. In the opening asset of the lugs 52, the incoming values 43 are accumulated against the "V" shaped portion of the stops 51 , as represented in Fig. 7c. In the hooking and dragging asset, the lugs 52 force the values of the section 42 beyond the "V" shaped portion of the stops 51 for the overposition to the other components of the stack 46, as represented in Fig. 7d and in Fig. 7e.

Conveniently, the lugs 52 are fulcrumed on the sliders 53, while motion converting members are provided between the lugs 52 and the sliders 53, which respond to the movement of the sliders to rotate the lugs between the asset of opening and the hooking and dragging asset in response to the shifting of the sliders between the position of reception and the position or the positions of stacking.

According to a first embodiment of the invention, the lugs 52 are fulcrumed on the sliders 53 through sectors 61 of substantially cylindrical shape, which frictionally engage respective contrast elements 62 on an internal surface of the shell 56. As consequence of the movement of the sliders 53, the sectors 61 are frictionally rotated by the contrast elements 62, for instance the inside surface of the shell 56 and transfer the motion to the lugs 52. In detail, the lugs 52 are rotated between the opening asset and the hooking and dragging asset, in response to the shifting of the sliders 53 between the position of reception and the position or the positions of stacking, as represented in the Figs, from 7a to 7f. Suitably, the substantially cylindrical sectors and/or the respective contrast elements are covered by strips 63 of high friction material.

It should be clear that the deposit or the deposit and dispensing device of the invention can also be used for the sole deposit of values as banknotes, checks and/or documents 43, while the containers or boxes provide the sole deposit of the values.

In other embodiments, not shown in the drawings the lugs 52 are controlled by motion conversion members, different from the above described friction components.

A second embodiment of the invention, represented with 69 in Figs. 8a-8f, provides a device of deposit or deposit and dispensing of values in which the motion conversion members include spring elements 71. Each of the spring elements 71 includes a coil spring interposed between arms 72 of the lugs 52 and fixed portions of the shell 56. The spring elements are tensioned so as to maintain the lugs 52 in the hooked configuration for the positions of stacking of the sliders 53, as represented in the Figs. 8a, 8d and 8e. In response to the positioning of the sliders into the position of reception, the spring elements have the coils in reciprocal contact and operate positively on the arms 72, whereby moving the lugs in the configuration of reception, as represented in the Figs. 8b, 8c and 8f.

In a device of deposit or deposit and dispensing according to a third embodiment of the invention, represented with 74 in Figs. 9a-9e, the motion conversion members include cam elements 76 and 77 fixed internally to the shell 56 and adapted, respectively, to cooperate with arms 78 and 79 of the lugs 52. Upon the positioning of the sliders 53 in the position of reception, the arms 78 cooperate with the cam elements 76, moving positively the lugs 52 in the configuration of reception, while the arms 79 are disengaged from the cam elements 77, as represented in the Figs. 9b, 9c and Fig. 10b. The positioning of the sliders 53 into the positions of stacking cause the lugs 79 to cooperate with the cam elements 77, moving positively the lugs 52 in the hooked and transfer configuration, while the arms 78 release the cam elements 76, as represented in the Figs. 9a, 9d, 9e and Fig. 10a.

Another machine for the automatic processing of values 43, as banknotes, checks and/or documents is represented with 80 in Fig. 11. The machine 80 comprises an upper module 81 and a store 82 provided of a passage of communication for the module 81 similar to the passage 23 of Fig. 1 and with a transport mechanism 83, in vertical, similar to the mechanism 24. The module 81 (Fig. 11) includes an input port 84 and an output port 85 for the values 43 and an interface unit 86 for the user. The module 81 also has a calculating and validation unit and an electronic control unit not shown and which, to the ends of the present invention, can be of known type. The documents which can be processed can be, for instance, payment receipts or similar bookkeeping notes.

The machine 80 uses a series of deposit and dispensing devices for values, according to a fourth embodiment of the invention, represented with 87. The devices 87 are lodged in respective seats of the store 82, arranged in superimposition with possibility of removal and are in connection with sections of the transport mechanism 83 similar to the transport sections 26-1,.., 26-i, ...26-n of Fig. 1. The transport sections are associated with specific values of banknotes or specific typologies of the checks and/or documents and allow the access the devices 87 through controlled diverters 88.

Each device 87 (Fig. 12) comprises a container 89, also of substantially parallelepiped shape and with a conventional front opening, for a value stack 90. The container 89 is lodged in a shell 91 and is pre-set for receiving and dispensing values 43 of a specific denomination of banknotes or a specific typology of checks and/or documents. The banknotes or the checks and/or documents 43 are moved along a direction perpendicular to the longer edge and are deposited in the container 89 through a stacking wheel 92.

For the dispensing of the values, the machine 80 includes a separation roller 93, an extraction roller 94 and a reject roller 95 actuated by a moving mechanism of known type and not shown in the drawings. The separation roller 93 is supported by a bridge 93a and is actuatable, on control of the electronic unit of the machine, between a position of rest upstream of the stacking wheel 92, drawn in full line, and an operative position downstream of the wheel 92, drawn in dashes and dots. The components of the stack 90 are separated by the separation roller 93 (Fig. 14) and are transported toward the transport mechanism 83 by the extraction roller 94, with control against double feed operation through the reject roller 95, in a manner known per se.

The container 89 (Fig. 12) defines an interface section 96 adjacent to the front opening and a receiving section 97 functionally similar to the interface section 43 and, respectively, the receiving section 44 of the device 27. A movable pusher or support 98 is shiftable, front and back along the receiving section 97, by means of transmission belts 99, a motor 100 of the machine 80 and a stack transport clutch, not shown in the drawings. Specifically, the transport clutch is opened with the removal of the deposit and dispensing device 87 from the respective seat of the store 82. The values 43 have vertical asset, while the transmission belts 99 also have the function of contrast for the longer edge, of support, for the banknotes or checks and/or documents. Elastically yieldable stops 101, similar to the stops 51 , are interposed between the interface section 96 and the receiving section 97.

For the deposit of the values 43, the support 98 and the belts 99 are shifted backward so as to allow the first component of the value stack 90 to be arranged adjacent to the yieldable arrests 101, downstream of the stops in the sense of the stacking. For the dispensing of the values, the separation roller 93 is actuated in its operative position, while the support 98 and the belts 99 are shifted forward so as to put the first component of the stack 90 in contact with the separation roller 93 (see Fig. 14).

According to the invention, each deposit and dispensing device 87 includes articulated lugs or hooks 102, in detail two lateral lugs 102-1, 102-2 and a central lug 102-3, provided for movement with respect to the container 89 in the direction of the stacking. Also the lugs 102 are movable between an opening asset, (Fig. 12, Fig. 13a and Fig. 16b), and a hooking and dragging asset (Figs. 13b, 13c and Fig. 15).

In a phase of deposit and opening asset (Fig. 12, Fig. 13a and Fig. 16b), the lugs 102 allow the values as banknotes, checks and/or documents 43 to be received in the interface section 96. In the hooking and dragging asset (Figs. 13b, 13c and Fig. 15), the lugs are provided for engaging banknotes, checks and/or documents 43 of the interface section, and shifting the values received of the interface section into the receiving section 97, in addition to the other components of the stack 90.

In a phase of dispensing and opening asset, the lugs 102 allow the belts 99 and the pusher or support 98 to move forward the value stack 90 for the dispensing by means of the separation roller 93. At the end of the dispensing phase and in the hooking and dragging asset, the lugs 102 are predisposed for holding and dragging back the components of the stack 90 of the interface section into the receiving section 97, up to arrange the first component of the stack downstream of the arrest 101 together with the back movement of the support 98 and the belts 99.

Also the lugs 102-1 , 102-2 and 102-3 are fulcrumed on respective sliders 103, in detail sliders 103-1 , 103-2 and 103-3, provided for shifting between a position of reception and one or more positions of stacking. In detail, the lugs 102-1 and 102-2 operate on the shorter edges of banknotes, checks and/or documents, while the lug 102-3 operate on a longer edge thereof. The lugs 102 are rotated between the opening asset and the hooking and dragging asset in response to the shifting of the sliders 103 between the position of reception and the position or the positions of stacking.

In this embodiment, the container 89 defines corresponding slots 104 for freely lodging the lugs 102-1, 102-2 and 102-3, at least through the interface section 96. In proximity of the slots 104 and in a hollow space between the container 89 and the shell 91 are mounted guiding blocks 106-1, 106-2 and 106-3 provided each one of a slide seat 107, a lamina guide 108 and a guide and control lamina 109. The sliders 103-1 , 103-2 and 103-3 include respective terminal blocks 1 10, which are slidable, parallel to the direction of stacking, in the guiding blocks 106-1 , 106-2 and 106-3 between the slide seat 107 and the laminas 108 and 109.

The sliders 103-1, 103-2 and 103-3 are controlled by a motor 1 11 of the machine 80, through a lug shifting clutch, not shown, which is openable with the removal of the device 87. In detail, each of the sliders 103-1 and 103-2 includes an arm 1 12 directed downward and having a vertical slot 1 13, while the slider 103-3 defines an end shaped as an inverted "U" with two small sides 1 14. The lug shifting clutch is operatively connected with the sliders 103-1, 103 2 and 103-3 by means of a crank mechanism (disk) 116 and a connecting rod 1 17, and a shaft 1 18 of common connection for the sliders; the shaft 1 18 is engaged between the small sides 114 of the slider 103-3 and is lodged in the slots 113 of the arm 112 of the sliders 103-1 and 103-2. A rotation of 180° of the disk 1 16, through the connecting rod 1 17 and the shaft 118, determines the run of the sliders 103-1, 103-2 and 103-3 between the position of reception (Fig. 13a) and the positions of stacking (Figs. 13b and 13c).

The articulated lugs 102 have "L" shaped sections and are fulcrumed on the terminal blocks 1 10 of the sliders 103 between the arms of the "L" shaped section. Each lug 102 defines, adjacent to the fulcrum, as control element, two cylindrical ends 121 of which one provided of a pin 122. The cylindrical ends 121 are adapted to slide between the seat of slide

107 of the guiding blocks 106 and the laminas 108 and 109 and cooperate with a front rounded edge 123 of the guiding blocks, having function of commutation element for the lugs 102, while the pin 122 is adapted to cooperate with a shaped end 124 of the lamina 109.

In dependence on the shifting of the sliders 103 between the positions of stacking, the cylindrical ends 121 slide between the seat 107 and the plain portions of the guide lamina

108 and maintain positively the lugs 102 in the hooking and transfer asset. Upon the shifting of the sliders 103 toward the position of reception, the pin 122 cooperates with the end 124 of the lamina 109 and rotates the lugs 102 for the opening asset, as represented in Fig.15 and in the Figs. 16a and 16b. On the return of the sliders 103 from the position of reception of Fig. 16b to the positions of stacking, the cylindrical ends 121 of the lugs 102 engage the edge 123 of the guiding blocks 106 and move positively the lugs from the opening asset to the hooking and transfer asset, as represented in the Figs. 16c and 16d.

In the phase of dispensing and opening asset, the control unit of the machine 80 moves the separation roller 93 (Fig. 14) into the operative position downstream of the stacking wheel 93. Moreover, it moves the support 98 into a position of dispensing, with portion of the stack 90 in the interface section 96 and the first component in contact with the separation roller 93. Then, the control unit causes the actuation of the rollers 93, 94 and 95 and the addressing of the values 43 toward the mechanism 83 and the progressive advancing of the support 98, in a known way. At the end of the dispensing phase and in the hooking and dragging asset, the lugs 102 are predisposed for holding back and dragging backward the components of the stack 90 in the interface section to the receiving section 97, jointly with the back movement of the pusher or support 98 and the belts 99, up to put the first component of the stack downstream of the arrest 101.

In alternative to the cam motion conversion members, teeth elements, not shown in the drawings, can be provided, connected with the lugs and which engage sections of a rack in correspondence of the position of reception and the positions of stacking of the sliders.

Naturally, the principle of the invention remaining the same, the shapes of actuation and the details of accomplishment of the device of deposit or deposit and dispensing for values as banknotes, checks and/or documents can broadly be varied with respect to what has been described and illustrated to pure title of non limitative example, without departing from the ambit of the invention.

As an example, in the case of positive action on the articulated lugs, the support of the stack can be controlled by means of a spring extended in the sense of the stacking. The spring becomes compressed for the action of the lugs in the hooking and dragging asset and as consequence of the shifting of the sliders in the positions of stacking.

In simplified devices, provided for the sole deposit of banknotes, checks and/or documents, the value stack 46, 90 can be directly supported by the bottom of the container. In this last case, additional stops can be provided movable jointly with the articulated lugs for supporting the entered values up to the contact of the other values of the stack.
