Definitions
- the present invention relates to a bank machine used for the distribution of rolls of coins. This one has a form of kiosk having an automatic teller incorporated.
- Document FR-A-2,333,305 relates to automatic cash dispensers.
- the device of the invention comprises a computer associated with a memory and connected by a telecommunications line to a remote terminal comprising an ATM.
- the device is designed so as to avoid any transmission over the data line, the knowledge of which could lead to fraudulent use of the distributor.
- Document FR-A-2,589,606 proposes a self-service banking machine including an automatic teller machine. It has a kiosk containing an ATM with a console intended for users, placed in a front wall of the kiosk.
- the ATM has a safe housing a cash dispenser and a money deposit device when the safe is closed.
- the kiosk has a mobile part that can pivot 90 'to accommodate the safe door as well as the distribution and deposit devices.
- the kiosk forms a closed and safe enclosure for a technician who has opened the door of the safe to carry out maintenance or replenishment of tickets.
- coin roll dispensers are generally manufactured in the form of a hopper, which contain said coin rolls.
- the main problem with this type of structure comes from the fact that jamming between adjacent rollers falling by gravity can occur. This makes dispensers quickly unusable.
- US-A-4,469,245 describes a bank machine which distributes rolls of coins. These rollers are arranged in bulk in a container, the rollers are conveyed towards the exit of the distributor by raceways. These raceways are equipped with chains, gears, inclined planes.
- Document US-A-3,036,732 describes a dispenser for small light objects such as pens. These pens are arranged in one or more vertical wheels. The movement of the wheels is ensured by the action of the user on a rotary button. The vertical wheels are arranged in a plane parallel to the plane of the front of the dispenser to have an attractive effect, the front panel being transparent.
- the present invention provides a coin roll dispenser which is very compact in the sense that the rolls to be dispensed are stored in a minimum space, like that which is easily achieved for cash dispensers.
- the present invention provides a bank machine for distributing rolls of coins in the form of a kiosk with an automatic teller machine, the kiosk having on its front side accessible to the public means allowing the transaction such as control keypad, display screen, openings for inserting a payment method (bank card, ticket, or other), output receptacles (roll of coins distributed, summary ticket for the operation carried out, coin changer), or others, which is characterized by the fact that it comprises one or more vertical wheels which act as a barrel for distributing the rolls of coins, said rollers being arranged in radiating housings arranged around its axis of rotation; each wheel is included in a circular fairing which comprises in the upper part a window for the loading of said rolls of parts and in the lower part a window for the distribution by gravity of the rolls of parts, said lower distribution window cooperates with means of control of a bucket which allows the opening and closing of the lower window, and control means of the dispensing bucket and means of stepping rotation of the wheel.
- a payment method bank card, ticket, or other
- the radiant housings, containing the rollers, are alternately long and short.
- the width of a radiant housing is adapted to the diameter of the rolls of parts stored therein.
- the bucket control means consist of:
- the bucket the concave part of which allows the reception of only one roll of coins at a time - an axis of rotation of the bucket moved in rotation by a means such as an electric motor, a jack.
- a flap extending one of the edges of the bucket, and having the shape of a circle section whose center is the axis of rotation of the bucket, so that when said bucket is rotated in order to release the roll of parts that 'it contains, the roller or rollers still present in the radiating housing opposite the lower window are kept in said housing.
- the enser e of the fairing and the wheel is inscribed in a vertical drawer comprising two windows coinciding with the two windows of said circular wheel fairing.
- At least one of the corners of the drawer contains the means for controlling the bucket. At least one of the corners of the drawer contains the means for rotating said barrel.
- the stepping rotation means comprise a motor and a transmission means such as a gear, chain, belt, or the like, of the rotation movement of the motor to the distribution barrel.
- the coin rollers are arranged with their longitudinal axis perpendicular to the vertical plane of the wheel.
- Figure 1 is a sectoral sectional view of a barrel wheel.
- Figure 2 is a section along A-A of Figure 1.
- Figure 3 is a bottom view of a drawer containing a wheel or barrel for distributing coins.
- FIG. 4 is a section on B-B in FIG. 3.
- FIG 5 is a detailed view of the bucket control means, shown in Figure 4, when the bucket receives a roll of parts.
- FIG 6 is a detailed view of the bucket control means, shown in Figure 4, when the bucket distributes the roll of parts it contains.
- FIG. 7 is a detailed view of the means of step-by-step rotation of the distribution wheel, presented in FIG. 4.
- Figure 8 is a perspective view of a bank machine according to the invention.
- the present invention relates to a bank machine 1 as shown in FIG. 5.
- This bank machine 1 allows the distribution of rolls of coins 2 more particularly visible in FIGS. 5 and 6.
- this machine 1 is in the form of a kiosk having a built-in ATM.
- the kiosk has on its front face which is the part accessible to the public, means allowing said audience the transaction of money such as the distribution of rolls of coins 2 according to a certain sum paid which can be given by the public either using, for example, a bank card by means of the insertion opening 5, either by means of banknotes by the opening of insertion of banknotes 6, or the like.
- This front face also includes elements such as a control keyboard 3 making it possible to choose the value of the pieces distributed as well as their quantity, but also a display screen 4 allowing the user to see at any time the orders he has made as well as the commands it can perform. Screen 4 allows you to view the commission received by PLC 1 for the service rendered.
- Other devices that can facilitate the use of the bank machine 1 can always be added without departing from the scope of the present invention.
- outlet receptacles 7 or 8 can be provided either to allow the reception of the rolls of coins 2 distributed, or the reception of a ticket summarizing the operation carried out.
- the bank machine 1 comprises at least one vertical wheel 9 acting as a barrel for distributing the rolls of coins 2.
- the vertical wheel or wheels are arranged perpendicular to the front face of the ATM or bank machine.
- rollers 2 are arranged as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 with their longitudinal axis in a position perpendicular to the vertical plane of the wheel 9.
- each barrel 9 is included inside a circular fairing 12 which fits perfectly the external shape of the barrel 9 with the exception of two windows made in the upper part 13 but also in the lower part 14.
- the upper window 13 intended to allow the loading according to the arrow FI of FIG. 4 while the lower window 14 allows the distribution of the rolls of coins 2 according to the arrow F2.
- rollers of parts by simple gravity tend to exit outside the barrel 9 as well as the fairing 12 thanks to the lower window 14.
- the assembly of the wheel 9 and the fairing 12 are included inside a vertical drawer 16 which also also has two windows 17 and 18 which coincide with the windows 13 and 14 of the circular fairing 12 of the wheel 9.
- the control means 19 of the bucket 15 as well as the step-by-step rotation means 20 of the wheel 9 are also included inside the drawer 16.
- the number of these drawers 16 can be variable so that one can place inside a same bank machine 1 a number of vertical wheels parallel to each other.
- the radiating housings 10a and 10b are alternately long and short so that a maximum of rolls of coins 2 can be stored per wheel 9.
- the width of a radiating housing 10a or 10b corresponds to the diameter of the rolls of parts 2 which are stored there.
- the diameter of the rollers 2 is therefore appreciably less than the width of each radiating housing 10a or 10b, this in order to allow sliding by simple gravity, whether at loading according to arrow FI or at distribution according to arrow F2.
- the control means 19 presented in FIGS. 5 and 6 consist of, on the one hand, the bucket 15, the concave part of which allows, as has been seen previously, the reception of a single roll of coins 2 at a time.
- a flap 23 comes to extend one of the edges of the bucket 15.
- This flap 23 has a shape of a circular section whose center is the axis of rotation 21 of the bucket 15, so that said bucket 15 is rotated in the direction of arrow F5, in order to release the parts bucket 2 according to arrow F6.
- roller or rollers 2 still present in the radiating housing 10a and 10b facing the lower window 14 are kept inside said housing 10a or 10b.
- the control means 19 are present inside one of the angles of the drawer 16 and are therefore located between the internal face of the drawer 16 and the external face of the fairing 12 which encloses the wheel 9.
- step-by-step rotation means 20 are wedged in one of the angles formed by the slide 16 and their space is limited by the presence of the fairing 12.
- stepwise rotation means 20 is not limited to a precise angle of the machine 1; this angle can be located in the lower or upper position, while for the control means 19 a lower position is recommended, in order to facilitate the exit of the rollers 2 by gravity.
- These stepping rotation means 20 further comprise a motor 24 as well as a transmission means such as a gear 25 as shown in FIG. 7 which transmits the rotational movement of the motor 24 to the distribution barrel 9.
- This movement transmission takes place using a toothed wheel 26 present at the level of the rotation means 20 which forms with a toothed wheel 27, present at the level of the barrel 9 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 7, l gear 25.
- the toothed wheel 26 rotates according to arrow F7 which causes a movement according to arrow F8 of the toothed wheel 27.
- This movement is a movement that is done step by step so that the external opening of each radiating housing 10a or 10b is presented in turn at all at the level of the lower window 14 and then at the level of the upper window 13.
