A pneumatic transfer apparatus (10) includes a service provider terminal (22) and a customer terminal (24). A carrier (32) is moved through a transfer conduit (26) between the customer and service provider terminals by a differential pressure generating mechanism (28, 30). Each of the customer and service provider terminals includes an actuator mechanism (54, 82). The actuator mechanism is operative to orient an opening in the housing of the carrier with a transfer opening in the transfer conduit. The actuator mechanism is further operative to move an inner shell (100) relative to an outer shell (96) of the carrier so as to bring openings in said inner and outer shells into alignment which enables accessing the interior area of the carrier.

Pneumatic transfer apparatus

A blower assembly for a pneumatic transfer tube system alternately creates a pressure or a vacuum in a transfer tube. The blower is comprised of a housing having an internal cavity and a first and a second external port communicating with the cavity. A movable plate divides the internal cavity into two chambers which are generally isolated from each other. A blower having a vacuum end and a pressure end is mounted to the plate, wherein the vacuum end is on one side of the plate and the pressure end is on the other side of the plate. The blower when operating creates a pressure chamber on one side of the plate and a vacuum chamber on the other side of the plate. A drive assembly attached to the plate moves the plate between a first position wherein the pressure chamber is in communication with the first port and the vacuum chamber is in communication with the second port, and a second position wherein the pressure chamber is in communication with the second port and the vacuum chamber is in communication with the first port. A weight sensitive assembly having a weight sensitive carrier support element is provided for underground pneumatic robe systems to prevent an overweight carrier from entering an underground transfer tube.

A sealing plate, divided into a first upper section and a second lower section, the sealing plate having a bore therethrough slightly larger than the diameter of the casing around the internal pipe. There is further provided a attachment members on the wall of the upper and lower sections of the plate, for attaching the sections of the plate and allowing the sections of the plate to be drawn together around the casing by the attachment members. Further, there is provided a sealing gasket that spaced between the internal edge of the bore of the plates and the outer wall of the casing, so that as a plate member is attached, there is effected a fluid seal between the outer wall of the carrier pipe and the plate members through the sealing of the gasket member.

Casing sealing apparatus

A mechanism for protecting an automatic teller machine against entry through the opening in the fascia when the machine which normally occupies the opening is not occupying the opening, including a door (33) for closing the opening, a link (25) for operating the door, a Geneva claw (29) for moving the link between door opening and door closing positions in response to movement of the machine between conditions respectively occupying and not occupying the opening, and a locking pawl (31) for preventing opening of the door when the machine is not occupying the opening.

A depository construction for receiving deposits at unattended banking equipment units in deposit-containing envelopes, and for issuing receipts for such deposits to bank customers. The customer activates the depository mechanism to initiate a deposit procedure by pressing a button, using a key or inserting a customer-identifying card at a banking unit. Activation of the mechanism opens an entry gate for a horizontal deposit entry slot to permit a deposit-containing envelope to be inserted into the slot, and energizes the drive mechanism of an envelope belt conveyor to transport the envelope through the mechanism. As the trailing end of the envelope passes an entry sensor, the entry gate is closed and a conveyor exit gate is opened. As the leading end of the envelope arrives at the exit end of the conveyor, an exit sensor energizes a printer beyond the exit end of the conveyor which stamps deposit data on the envelope. Another printer prints similar data on a receipt while the envelope is being discharged from the conveyor. As the trailing end of the envelope passes the exit sensor and drops to a deposit chest, the conveyor drive is stopped and the receipt is issued to the customer.
