Cash dispenser

The invention relates generally to cash dispensers, and more particularly to a new data discrimination system in an electronically controlled cash dispensing machine that puts a desired amount of cash in Issues banknotes and / or coins in predetermined units.

When a certain number representing a certain amount of money represents to be dispensed is fed into a cash dispensing machine by an operator,

then a storage device stores that for each location the number is provided, the number that is in the specific place. If this digit is one of the digits "l" through Is "9", then a corresponding number of banknotes or coins of a certain value are dispensed. If the If the number "θ" is in this position, nothing is output .

If notes or coins of two different denominations are possible for a number, then a certain If the position is filled, a further distinction is required for this position. It is assumed once that in the place that is decisive for the thousands, there is a "9" and that there are 1000 notes and 5000 notes. If the digit "9" is now determined in the manner in which the invention provides, then automatically the lowest possible Number of banknotes issued, which in this case means four 1000 notes and one 5000 note.

It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a new system of data discrimination in a cash dispensing machine to create a certain amount of money registered in the machine with the smallest possible number of

209828/07 5 3

Notes or coins contained in the machine are dispensed.

A further object is to create such a system with a structure that is as simple as possible it can easily be built into existing cash dispensing machines.

In addition, the system of the invention for data differentiation should be equipped with tools, to put it into effect or to make it ineffective at will, so that the sum that is in each place one in the Machine stored number either in notes or coins of a certain denomination or in two different ones Values can be output if the amount allows the last possibility.

In brief, the invention provides a system for distinguishing the corresponding digits of a number which is displayed by a plurality of display tubes of a money dispenser, which has a number of first detector circuits, all of which have an input.

FIG. 2 shows a circuit diagram in greater detail

going to the data discrimination system in a first embodiment; and

FIG. 5 shows a circuit diagram corresponding to FIG. 2 of a second exemplary embodiment the invention.

Reference is first made to FIG. 1 to illustrate the data discrimination system according to the invention as shown in FIG to be used in a cash dispenser. One connected to a memory (not shown) A display tube 1 and a data discrimination section 2 are provided for each of the positions, the Places accept the digits of the number that make up the total amount of money to be spent. A drum control circuit 5 and a comparator 4 are for everyone Places available together. It should be noted that the make-up of the data discrimination section 2 is different depending on whether the amount of money expressed by the number of the respective job position, can be issued in notes or coins with only one value or two different values.

The data discriminating portion which is shown in Figure 2 is excluded by a first detector circuit 2 _a

209828/0753

which is only used if notes or coins only have one value for the respective job position, for which this section is provided, are present, with a first detector circuit 2,. and a second

Detector circuit 2, are provided if notes or coins of two different denominations for the respective Job vacancies are available. Assuming once that the machine is designed to output in 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 notes 10000 digits with 1000 and 5000 notes and the amounts of the 10000 digits are only output with 500 notes, then is the data differentiation section 2 for the amounts of the 10,000 and 100 units only with the first de-

W tector circuit 2 _Q , while the data difference

application section for the 10000 amounts is equipped with both the detector circuit 2 and the detector circuit 2. The first and the second detector circuit can also be provided for each of the positions, in which case a switch SW is switched on between the ground and the midpoint of two resistors 5 _b and 6 in series, the second detector circuit 2, which is closed to

The display tube 1 is constructed so that a low level signal is output only from an output terminal T corresponding to the digit currently being displayed. (The indices attached to the reference symbol "T" correspond to the numerical value of the currently displayed digit '.) The output terminal T _{Q of} the display tube is connected to the input of the first detector circuit _{2 O and}

the output terminals Tp- to Tg are connected to the Input of the second detector circuit 2, in this embodiment.

At the exit side of the first and the second

Detector circuit 2. 2, there are relay coils RY ₀ and

Which circuit is currently being used for the relay. This then determines that the display tube displays one of the digits ".1" to "4".

"If one of the digits" 5 "to" 9 "is displayed

through the display tube becomes the input of the second detector circuit 2, a low level signal is supplied so that the relay coil RY, is de-energized and the relay contacts 7, closed or opened, whereas a high level signal at the input of the first detector circuit

will. The relay contacts 7 "open (or close) then,

and a cash dispensing drum (not shown) is started to sequentially dispense three 10,000 bills. When the three 10,000 notes have been issued, the comparator H- outputs a match signal to the drum control circuit 3, as is already known from the conventional machines. The machine is then ready to dispense the amount of money that is stored in the next lower digit.

Since the number "7" is stored in the display tube 1 of the location for the 1000 units, the

chert is. Switching relay contacts 7 7 _b first outputs a 5000 note, followed by two 1000 notes. After completion of this output process and when the required amount has been reached, the comparator 7 generates a match signal.

The number "5" is stored in tube 1 in the next lower position. Since then the relay coil RY of the first detector circuit 2 _{O is} not energized, whereby

If it is indicated that the stored number differs from "θ", a 500 note is output _{as a result of the actuation of the relay contacts 7 O.} The total amount that has been issued with the lowest possible number of notes is 37,500, with three 10,000, one 5000, two P 1000 and one 500 notes being issued.

In the first exemplary embodiment of the invention, which is shown in FIG. 2, only the second detector circuit 2 is equipped with a switch SW. The second exemplary embodiment, which is shown in FIG. 5, also has the same switch SW.

5, the first detector circuit 2 can be connected to ground. Usually both switches SW ₀ SW, are open, so that the first and the second detector circuit can determine whether the digit of the position currently being viewed is a "θ", in the range between "1" and "4" or is in the range between "5" and "9".

If the amount of money displayed by the display tube is to be output without the aid of the first and second detector circuit, e.g. if notes or coins up to a number of "9" of the same value are to be output in every digit of the displayed amount of money, then both switches SW ₀ and SW, closed so that

the input sides of the two detector circuits are connected to ground and these circuits are therefore ineffective. That way is the amount of money that is saved first, and from the Display tubes has been displayed, held until the entire amount has been spent.

Although the system of data discrimination according to the invention on the basis of the illustrated exemplary embodiments has been described, it is to be understood that these examples do not limit the
