    DESCRIPTION
    Device for receiving and dispensing cash
    Object of the invention
    The present invention relates to procedures and systems for receiving and dispensing cash. In particular, the present invention provides a novel apparatus for the entry and exit of a plurality of cash.
    Background of the invention
    In recent years, the use of automatic systems to process cash, such as ATMs and other automatic cash management systems, has been extended. These systems are used for the deposit and withdrawal of cash, through bank tellers, and for depositing and dispensing legal currency in a retail establishment.
    When a customer using an ATM will typically have a card or token with a numerical identification sequence that is inserted into the ATM, allowing the customer to deposit or withdraw funds from a bank account without interacting with a human ATM. A substantial advantage of the ATM is the ability to do banking operations outside normal banking hours. A typical ATM will include a mechanism to dispense cash bills stored inside the ATM in response to a customer request. To keep an accurate record of the customer's account, many ATMs also include a mechanism that detects and counts cash bills that will be dispensed to the customer. However, many ATMs do not include a mechanism that serves to count and confirm the cash that a customer can deposit. In addition, many ATMs do not include mechanisms for them to recycle or reuse and re-dispense cash that a customer has deposited.

    There are other types of automatic banking machines that are used to count and dispense cash. These machines are often used by cashiers or customer service representatives in banking and other environments where monetary transactions are made. Other automatic distribution systems are used in retail establishments (for example, to give change to customers who make purchases with cash).
    Automatic cash dispensing devices are typically used in retail and banking establishments where physical space is scarce. The devices that are currently available on the market are large and occupy a considerable physical space. Therefore, there is a need for a device that is profitable and has a small profile and size with the ability to reuse deposited cash.
    The patent document of the United States of America number 6,128,402 discloses an automatic legal currency processing system. Specifically, an ATM is disclosed comprising various modules, including modules for scanning bills, dispensing bills, sorting and counting coins as well as coin dispensing modules.
    The patent document of the United States of America number 4,733,765 discloses a machine for handling bills and coins. Conveyors and sorters for coins and bills are set up in relation to a single cash receiver to receive both coins and bills through an opening.

    The present invention relates to procedures and systems for receiving and dispensing cash. In particular, the present invention provides a novel apparatus for the entry and exit of various cash. The systems currently available for the entry and exit of cash have several disadvantages related to the systems of the present invention.
    For example, the device called Cross International HT 8000 (from Cross International Technologies) is capable of accepting multiple nominal values of bills but recycles only one nominal value of bills and is relatively expensive ($ 50,000).
    The THE FACT - Asp machine (from Fujitsu ICL Financial Services Division) is capable of accepting six nominal values of currencies and three nominal values of bills but is capable of recycling only two nominal values of bills. The Diebold company markets the Cash-Source Plus 400P. This is primarily a cash dispenser, where merchants can refill the unit themselves with cash from the store.
    The CashGuard machine manages to be a product that recycles or reuses bills and coins. However, the user must classify the bills and place them manually in different slots of the machine. Users can also enter only one currency at a time, as opposed to entering a batch of coins that are separated and sorted automatically. The company La Rue produces the device called TwinSafe II. This unit recycles bills of up to 8 different nominal values, but is not able to handle coins.
    On the contrary, the cash money management system of the present invention is capable of accepting and recycling or reusing multiple nominal values of cash (for example, bills and coins), as well as legal tender currencies from multiple countries. The device is much easier to use, due to the combination of recycling of both coins and bills through the operation procedure at a counter. The novel features of its design result in a device that is 30% less in size than the devices currently available. Such an apparatus is exceptionally suitable for various retail, public and banking establishments.

    Thus, in some embodiments, the present invention provides apparatus for handling automatic cash, systems and procedures for the admission and exit of cash documents (eg, bills and coins). In some preferred embodiments, the apparatus is smaller than those currently available in the market. In other embodiments, the apparatus contains a single belt system for the transport of cash driven by a single motor, which provides the advantage of using the same slot for the entry and exit of cash. In other embodiments, the apparatus includes a single magnetic sensor controlled by an integrated software program. In still other additional embodiments, the apparatus includes foam rubber drums to change the direction of the bills. The systems for handling automatic cash and procedures of the present invention thus provide multiple points of novelty as well as advantages of efficiency of use.

    integrated with the cash handling device by means of an integrated circuit board (that is, the same software that controls the device also controls the magnetic sensor).
    In other embodiments, the bill detection component is similar to the bill examination arrangement described in U.S. Patents 5,975,273 and 5,533,627 used to determine the authenticity and value of the deposited bills. In yet other embodiments, the bill detection component is similar to the sensor unit described in US Patent 6,074,081. In yet other embodiments, the bill detection component is similar to the lighting and sensor device described in US Patent 6,061,121. In further embodiments, the bill detection component is similar to the detector described in U.S. Patents 6,101,266 and 5,923,413 or to the sensor document described in U.S. Patent 6,241,244.
    Counterfeit tickets are returned to the user. In some embodiments, the user also receives a confirmation (for example, at a user interface terminal or by means of a printed receipt) of the amount of cash to be deposited.
    Upon confirmation of the integrity (for example, if the bill is forged or not) and value of the deposited bills, the bills are additionally directed under the conveyor belt to one of a plurality (eg, 4) of components 265 of storage. One of the storage components will now be described in more detail. The bills are directed to a storage component 265 by a bill address change component 270. In some embodiments, the bill address change component 270 comprises a wheel 271 (made of rubber in some embodiments preferred) and a shaft 272 driven by a motor 273. The direction of the bills is changed by turning the legal currency around the wheel 271. To deposit the bills in the storage component 265, the wheel 271 rotates in the opposite direction to the main belt 210.
    The present invention is not limited to the bill address change component described above. In fact, the present invention encompasses any component configured to direct cash (for example, bills and coins) in and out

    35
    The cash management systems of the present invention find use in various commercial establishments (eg, retailers) and banks. The following examples are illustrative and are not intended to limit the present invention. One skilled in the art will recognize that systems such as those of the present invention find utility in additional establishments that require the handling and recycling of legal currency.
    The cash management systems of the present invention find concrete utility where various legal currencies are used. For example, the ability of the apparatus of the present invention to recycle cash from multiple countries makes it particularly suitable for use in the countries of the European Union (EU) where both the euro and the legal currency of a particular country are accepted . A customer can be expected to enter a retail establishment (for example, a grocery store) in an EU country (for example, Germany) and pay for an acquisition in multiple nominal values of euros, German marks or a combination. The euros and / or German marks are introduced into the apparatus of the present invention. Depending on the customer and business preference, the device provides change in multiple nominal values of German marks, euros or a combination. Alternatively, in countries that do not belong to the EU (for example, an Asian country), the client pays and receives change in multiple nominal values of the same legal currency. In some embodiments, the device is operated by a business employee. Alternatively, the entire transaction is automatic, thus saving the added expense of hiring an ATM.
    In some embodiments, the apparatus of the present invention finds use in retail self-service establishments such as gas stations. For example, many such stations comprise user-serviced terminals connected to gasoline pumps to acquire fuel. Such stations are typically used only for credit or debit card purchases. However, the apparatus of the present invention allows customers to purchase fuel with cash (for example, bills or coins) of multiple nominal values and receive exchange of multiple nominal values.
    The apparatus of the present invention additionally finds use in banking establishments (for example, as an ATM or serviced by an employee of the
    5
    10
    fifteen
    twenty
    25
    30
    35
    Bank). In particular, the device finds utility in banks in EU countries. Clients in such countries may wish to deposit and obtain funds in multiple legal currencies. For example, a customer of a bank in England may wish to obtain cash in pounds and euros. The customer can withdraw and deposit both pounds and euros in a bank account (for example, by means of an ATM servicing an apparatus of the present invention or by an ATM). The apparatus of the present invention allows the cashier (or ATM) to use a single cash handling device for multiple deposits and withdrawals of cash, thereby reducing the added expense of acquiring multiple money handling devices for different currencies legal.
    In additional embodiments, the cash money management system of the present invention finds use in international airports in cash exchange applications. Travelers arriving from another country enter cash (for example, from their country of origin or euros in an EU country or a combination) and receive cash from the destination country or euros in an EU country or A combination. The automatic nature of the apparatus of the present invention, as well as its ability to introduce and remove multiple nominal values, make it particularly suitable for such use.
    C. Transport devices and systems
    The ATMs and other cash management systems / machines currently available are far from offering a complete cash management system, which contains the cash in a closed circuit from the customer through the value chain until it becomes available to the customer again. The systems available at this time represent fragmented approaches to the cash cycle. The negative implications that follow from this include, among other things, various serious security risks (theft, fraud, counterfeit bills, etc.) and poor cost-effectiveness.
    The present invention represents a novel and flexible approach to the management of cash, offering a potential user of the system options ranging from an apparatus in the store itself for the introduction and withdrawal of various types of course currency
    5
    10
    fifteen

    35
    legal, possibly and likely to typically include a closed transportation system that eliminates the risk of theft, both in retail store environments and from the store to the ATM or other device - to a complete system that involves a complete cash cycle which includes retail operators, security companies, commercial banks and central banks / national legal currency institutions acting on behalf of central banks.
    With the apparatus of the present invention, these problems are solved in the art by providing a novel apparatus for the introduction and removal of various types of legal tender (described in detail above) and a novel set of apparatus for handling a cycle of full cash. The present invention can be adapted to meet the needs of the client, ranging from a single device for the introduction and withdrawal of various legal tender to a comprehensive cash management system ("a complete cash cycle" ), a system that handles cash (legal tender) from the consumer in a retail establishment through different channels until the cash is again available to the consumer. The process can be carried out without even dispersing the cash to a human handler, therefore eliminating various risk factors present in current cash management systems.
    Consequently, in other additional embodiments, the present invention provides apparatus and systems for the transport of cash (especially bills) between cash processing devices, such as those described above, and other money processing systems in cash, such as ATMs. The invention provides, in addition to a novel apparatus for the introduction and removal of various types of legal tender, a transport unit that works physically together (for example, connects) with the bill processing unit described in detail above. . The legal tender that is being withdrawn from or introduced into the bill processing unit is registered by both the bill processing unit and the transport unit using bill detection devices (described above) and the information is stored in a processor The transport unit can be subsequently, and according to the needs of the customer, take either directly to a bank for registration or to an independent ATM or ticket processing unit that is compatible with the
    5
    10
    fifteen
    twenty
    25
    30
    transport unit or other device, for the introduction and withdrawal of legal currency. Preferably, the (transport unit or the ATM or the device) will identify worn bills, which can be set aside and taken to the central bank's counting office for recycling.
    The current cash management cycle can typically be described as below. A customer pays cash to a seller, who deposits the legal currency in the cash register of the store. At the end of the day, the seller balances the cash, the store manager performs the final operation with respect to the balance of the cash and the cash generated throughout the day is carried by hand to a bank , a permanent deposit etc., either by a member of the store or by a security company. The cash is then subjected to numerous operations involving various manual operations (for example, by a security company or a bank) before it is entered in cash transport boxes, entered manually at ATMs or Take directly to a store. This cycle typically involves approximately 20 operations and approximately three days are required to complete the cycle.
    In contrast, the novel apparatus (s) and the cash management / management system described in this document involves 4-5 manual operations, without even exposing the cash in view of a person, being the duration of the cycle / process is insignificant. This is because the seller or security member, etc., only needs to take the transport box to the nearest "independent ATM" to deposit or withdraw legal currency, according to individual needs.
    The advantages derived from such a system compared to the current cycle are numerous (although it should be noted that the present invention is not limited in any way to these advantages). Security aspects are clear: cash is never in sight, which significantly reduces or even eliminates the risk of theft; the risk of internal irregularities is eliminated - again because cash is never in sight; there is no manual cash count; the system handles worn bills; the system detects counterfeit bills; the physical cycle is significantly reduced both with respect to the number of operations and with respect to the time required; The system is very easy to use; the system can handle different
