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.

Automatic money-receiving and -dispensing machine

System for dispensing sheet material, in particular security documents

A device for receiving, inspecting and storing instruments of value, comprising a lockable housing having at least one instrument receptacle (36), an inspection means for inspecting and identifying the instruments, a deposit unit (14) having a deposit pocket (18) and a return pocket (20) arranged on a wall (16) of the housing. Conveyors (28, 38) are provided for conveying instruments between the deposit unit (14) and the inspection unit and between the inspection unit and the instrument receptacle (36). The instrument receptacle (36) and a first part of the inspection unit (34) for verifying the genuineness of and identifying the instruments are arranged inside a closed vault (12). Instruments are moved between the closed vault and the deposit unit (14) by way of a two-way conveyor (28) passing through an opening (30) in the wall of the vault (12).

Device for receiving, inspecting and storing instruments of value

Apparatus for the plug-in assembling of a circuit provided with contact feet, especially an integrated circuit carrier onto an appliance provided with receptacles, or the like. The circuit carrier is inserted in a protective cover and together with this is placed on a base previously mounted in the receptacles of the appliance. Thereby the contact feed come into connection with the circuit of the appliance by way of contact elements arranged on the base. In order to fulfill certain requirements for a reliable large-area or multiple contact by the contact element, it is provided that the circuit carrier is placed on an intermediate contact carrier which carries a plurality of contact plates connected with the contact feet of the circuit carrier respectively by means of soldered junctions, which plates in turn show the desired contact properties.

Circuit carrier connector

Printing or recording apparatus for the selective printing of single sheets or margin-perforated endless paper in which for the endless paper operation a separate conveying unit can be put in place on the printer housing which unit is provided with conveying means engaging in the perforated margin of the endless paper. The sight case of the conveying unit is arranged over the feed opening as well as the delivery unit for the single sheets. A movable lid permits access to these openings for the single-sheet operation but covers these completely and in a soundproofing way for endless paper operation. Connected with the movable lid there is a prop which in the closed position of the lid automatically lifts off the platen the feed rolls not required in this operating state.

Printing and typing apparatus for the selective printing of single sheet

Printing apparatus with a roller platen and a plastic strip for holding paper against the roller platen even if insufficient paper is fed through to reach the usual guide rollers. The plastic strip is arranged in a closed loop and is connected to the print element to move with it in the line direction. The strip has a perforation for the penetration of printing type or the like.

Printing or typing apparatus with a rotating platen as well as guide

Apparatus for guiding an ink ribbon for a printer, with top edges standing perpendicularly to and inclined forward toward the printing plane, over which the ink ribbon laid on flange plates which act as slides when fed further and threads in itself. At the same time means for the quick fixing of the print head are provided on the apparatus serving for the guiding of the ink ribbon.

Device for the mounting of a printing head and for the mounting and

A multi-circuit connector (5) to receive edge contacts of plug-in modules (4) and make electrical contacts with a printed board (2). The connector (5) comprises means (20) to achieve a floating mount in a support (11) having lateral spring tabs (19) and contact clips (6) which project forwardly in parallel rows to make circuit with the board (2). The clips (6) are bent (24) to improve resilience along their own axis to reduce stress on the board (2) when a male module (4) is inserted. Two or more embodiments are disclosed.
