An electronic-money collecting system is capable of returning a lost IC card used as an 'electronic purse' to a legitimate owner or an issuing institution with a high degree of efficiency. When a lost IC card containing data representing electronic money is found, the finder inserts the card into a public terminal, and information read from the card is transmitted to a card center by way of a communication line. At the center, a storage unit containing identification and contact data is searched for owner contact data, and the owner of the lost IC card is notified of the implementation of processing to collect the IC card. Also, a finder is given reward money recorded in a found IC card or, when an attempt made by a finder to illegally draw money, information on the finder is recorded, allowing abuse of a found IC card to be detected early.

Electronic-money rewarding system for lost and found IC card

An electronic-money collecting system is capable of returning a lost IC card used as an 'electronic purse' to the owner of the lost IC card or an institution issuing the lost IC card with a high degree of efficiency without imposing a burden on the lost-IC-card finder or the institution issuing the IC card. When a lost IC card in which money data representing the amount of electronic money stored on the card is found, the found IC card is inserted into a terminal installed at places, such as a banking organization or a public institution. At that time, information read out from the IC card is transmitted to a center by way of a communication line. At the center, a storage unit is searched for information on the legitimate owner of the IC card. owner. The owner of the lost IC card is then notified.

A catching apparatus has a body to which an open ended inflatable cylindrical tube is affixed, for sealingly catching a fluid filled object. The fluid filled object is caught by the surface of the tube when air is supplied to the space between the tube and the body. An inflation limiting member is provided in a part of an area in which the tube inflates, in order to limit the inflation of the tube to a desired region.

Apparatus for gripping an object

A gripping head of a handling apparatus grips objects, such as lipsticks or the like by means of the inflated surface of the tube thereof. A fluid inlet is formed on top of the hard body, and a fluid path is formed in the hard body. The outer cylinder open at the lower end thereof is so fixed on the hard body as to contain the latter, and the above-mentioned tube open at both ends thereof is fixed at both the ends to the lower outside end of the outer cylinder and the hard body or to the upper and lower outer ends of the hard body. The object is caught by the catching head when the tube is inflated inwardly as the fluid such as air is supplied into the space between the tube and outer cylinder or into the inside space of the tube through the fluid path from the fluid inlet.
