A coin sorter machine including an encoder and a sensor assembly more accurately determines the position of coins in a coin sorting path to facilitate coin sorting. The coin sorter uses a coin size attribute to more accurately calculate the timing of interactions between coins on the coin sorting path and one or more components of the coin sorter. One such component is a diverter configured to perform an offsorting operation.

Method and apparatus for offsorting coins in a coin handling machine

A method and system for prevention of dust accumulation on a coin sensor assembly () in a coin handling machine (), includes a lower optical element () positioned below a coin track () and then either, or both of, 1) blowing off dust that tends to accumulate on the cover () for the lower optical element () and 2) coating the cover () for the lower optical element () with a transparent conductive coating () that is electrically grounded to prevent accumulation of dust due to static electrical attraction. A fan unit () is positioned adjacent the cover () for blowing dust off the cover () during operation of the coin handling machine (). The method and system is preferably a optical reflector system with an upper optical element in the form of a reflector () and a transparent conductive coating of material () is also provided on the reflector ().

A self-service change redemption machine () has an intake area () for receiving batches of mixed coinage and conveying the coins to a coin sorter () for sorting, counting and directing coins into a plurality of coin chutes (). From there, the coins are routed to coin receptacles such as bags (). Multiple bags are provided for certain denominations. To fill multiple bags for a given denomination, repositionable diverter mechanisms () are provided between the chutes () and pluralities of bags for the respective denominations. The bags are held by bag holders () which extend downward from a substantially rigid one-piece chassis (), which also supports the diverter mechanisms (). The machine () has buttons () responsive to inputs from a user to turn on the machine, to process coins that are input through the intake area () and to issue the voucher or other form of credit. Instructions for using the machine () and other information are displayed on a screen display ().

Self-service cash handling machine and method with configurable coin storage

A note presenter and method is disclosed for dispensing notes at a plurality of dispensing locations that are spaced apart such that two or more persons can be positioned at the dispensing locations at one time. The note presenter is attached to a secure container for receiving the cash at a single exit slot and includes a rotatable mechanism for repositioning the cash in alignment with either one of the two dispensing locations, and a linearly moveable part to withdraw the notes from the exit slot and to extend the notes to either one of the two dispensing locations to two or more persons who can be positioned at the dispensing locations. Several different configurations are disclosed.

Apparatus and method for adding note dispensing positions to a secure cash dispenser

A cash recycling machine () has an input hopper () for feeding batches of mixed coinage to a coin sorter () for sorting, counting and directing coins into a plurality of bulk coin storage receptacles (). From there, the coins are fed into a plurality of smaller dispensing hoppers () equipped with sensors () for counting the coinage as it is dispensed. A controller () is responsive to inputs from a user in a first operating cycle of the machine to cause the dispensing hoppers () to dispense an amount of sorted coinage into one of several receptacles including a cash drawer () or coin bags (). A controller () is responsive to inputs from a user in a second operating cycle of the machine to receive, sort and count a batch of coins that is loaded into the input hopper () and stored in the bulk coin storage receptacles (). The controller () has the ability to track input and output transactions of employees through the work shift for reconciliation at the end of the work shift and to report results to a central accounting computer. In addition, the machine () can operate in the first and second cycles simultaneously.

Machine and method for cash recycling and cash settlement

A moveable coin bin assembly for holding a plurality of coins is disclosed. The moveable coin bin includes a coin bin housing () for receiving coins, the coin bin housing being disposed on wheels () for movement, a handle assembly () including an elongated handle () having an upper end for gripping () and a lower end for coupling and de-coupling to the coin bin housing. The handle assembly () further includes a latching and retaining mechanism () for coupling to the coin bin housing in a motion along a floor, wherein said latching and retaining mechanism is releasable by a user to de-couple the handle assembly from the coin bin housing. The coin bin () includes a brake system that can be selectively applied by a detachable handle (). The bin () can be used with a coin collecting machine () includes a motorized funnel system () for funneling coins to a plurality of coin collecting apertures () in the bin for even distribution.

A financial transactions processing system includes a cradle to receive dispensed notes for dispensing cash to customers and/or tellers. The cradle may be rotatable for use with more than one user. The cradle may have end walls to provide security and privacy to each user. A rotatable shield may provide additional security and privacy. A lock may prevent the cradle and/or shield from rotating to prevent unauthorized access to cash in the cradle.

Financial transactions processing system including cash dispenser or recycler

A self-service change redemption machine () has a coin hopper area () for receiving batches of mixed coinage and a powered mechanism () for transporting them to an intake opening () into the machine () for sorting, counting and directing coins into a plurality of coin receptacles. The transport mechanism has a pivotable cover () for preventing access to a portion of the feed path leading into the machine () and, if the cover () is lifted, the powered mechanism () will be stopped. The mechanism () is designed to prevent jamming of the coins in the hopper area () or along the feed path ().

A cash dispenser ( ) includes a secure enclosure ( ) with an enclosure body ( ), a door ( ) on one side of the enclosure body ( ) for opening and closing an access opening ( ) into the enclosure ( ), a lock ( ) for securing the door ( ) to the enclosure body ( ), and a cash drawer assembly ( ) with a plurality of drawers ( ) for holding a plurality of denominations of cash. The drawer assembly has a frame with sliding members ( ) near the top and wheels ( ) at the front for moving the drawer assembly ( ) out of the secure enclosure ( ) through the access opening ( ). The enclosure ( ) has a bottom wall ( ) with an aperture ( ) therein sized to allow the wheels ( ) to rest on a supporting surface ( ) for the enclosure ( ) and being open to a front side when the door ( ) is open, to allow the drawer assembly ( ) to be rolled forwardly through the access opening ( ) along the supporting surface ( ).

A microfilm viewer/printer projection system particularly adapted for full plane plain paper copying has a first, a second and a third mirror which selectively project a document image from a horizontal object plane to a vertical viewing plane or a horizontal exposure plane. In the view mode, the first and second mirrors reflect the document image to a screen which defines the viewing plane. An AC motor movement drives the first and second mirrors to a print mode, in which the second mirror is parked in a parking zone which is enveloped by the projection path from the object plane to the exposure plane, which is defined by a belt type photoreceptor. In the print mode, the first mirror reflects the entire document image to the third mirror, which is a black mirror, and the third mirror reflects the entire document image to the photoreceptor, to expose the photoreceptor to the entire document image simultaneously.
