A self service bank terminal is constructed so as to be usable by sitting and standing customers, so as to take up little floor surface, and so that several terminals can be placed side-by-side with the display screen of one terminal being not viewable by customers at other of the terminals. The terminal has a housingwith two rectangular side wallsconnected by an upper cover plate, a rear wall, a front plateand a bottom plate, which includes the bottom plate having a supporting surface for engaging a supporting floor, or the bottom platehaving a supporting column, with the cover plate being horizontal or slightly sloped. The display screen is located on a pulpit shaped portionof the cover plate, has associated with it blinder shieldson three of its sides, and is slightly inclined. Also included in the terminal are a keyboard, a check examining device, and a printer drawer

The invention relates to a method for monitoring an equipment operation procedure and to a self-service device monitored using this method. An optical pattern recognition method is used to detect the hand posture which is characteristic of an equipment operation procedure alone or else together with an object to be handled when using equipment, and to compare said hand posture with a prescribed pattern.

An ink jet printer has an ink filling device for an ink jet print head wherein the ink jet print head can be filled with the filling device. The ink filling device has an ink reservoir and a discharge opening. The print head has an ink chamber with a feed opening for ink and can be filled when it is installed in an ink jet printer. The discharge opening is arranged in a hollow body with a variable-volume that moves ink from the ink reservoir when the volume is increased and that discharges ink via the discharge opening when the volume is decreased.

A device for sending and receiving graphical documents via teletransmission lines comprises an input station (16), a withdrawal station (20) for single-sheet graphical original, a transport system which transports the graphical originals along a reading device from the input station (16) to the withdrawal station (20), an output station (32) for a printed print carrier and a transport system which transports the print carrier material from material supply station (60) along a printer to the output station (32). The output station (32) is located in the head region and the withdrawal station (20) in the base region of the device. Both the input station (16) and the withdrawal station (20) for the printed originals in the base region (8) of the device (2) are arranged on two opposite sides (3,6) or the device so that the output station (32) in the head region (10) of the device (2) is located at a considerable distance from both the input station (16) and the withdrawal station (20). It is therefore impossible to mistake printed documents output with graphical originals.

Alphanumeric keyboard

An apparatus for reading by blind persons comprising a data medium in the form of a thick elastic belt and having formed therein a dense uniformly spaced two-dimensional array of data elements of thin membrane-like construction integral with the belt and capable of assuming stable convex and concave conditions wherein they either project upwardly from the belt to be sensible by a person's finger or down into the belt where they may not be felt. Because of the thickness of the belt, the data elements are also capable of assuming intermediate unstable conditions wherein they do not experience a transition to the opposite state simply because they are compressed flush with a surface of the belt. Means are provided for setting and resetting the data areas.

Means for generating a tactile character field

In an information input and output unit (10) for data processing equipment, including an input keyboard (14) and a tactile read-out panel (28) with a control keyboard (30) for tactile data display for the vision impaired, it is provided, for making operation by vision-impaired persons easier, that the input keyboard (14), the control keyboard (30) and the tactile read-out panel (28) are arranged in one plane, that the tactile read-out panel (28) with the control keyboard (30), as seen by the operator, is in front of the input keyboard (14) and that in front of the tactile read-out panel (28) is arranged a hand rest surface (102). Between the tactile read-out panel (28) and the control keyboard (30), finger guides (90) may be optionally provided to make the orientation easier. Parallel to the output lines (56,58) of the read-out panel (28) are formed receiving grooves for receiving replaceable information strips (70) which show heading information in the form of Braille characters (74,78 ). The input keyboard (14) is inserted removably in a receiving basin (38) of a case containing the read-out panel (28') and the control keyboard (30).

A money dispensing device for use in safes or the like which transfers money from a security area to a dispensing point. A powered drawer transfers money from the security area to the dispensing point. The dispensing point is provided with a door, which is automatically controlled, such that the door opens only when sensors indicate that the drawer has reached the end of the dispensing point, and after opening, the door closes only when sensors indicate that the drawer is empty.
