Automatic money-issuing apparatus

Claim 2

An automatic money-dispensing apparatus comprising: indicating means for indicating in a signal an amount of money to be dispensed which is chosen by an operator and providing a first indication signal representative thereof; memory means for storing said first indication signal; a plurality of money storing sections in which money separated according to monetary denominations is stored and held respectively; money issuing means which operates to issue money piece by piece from at least one of said plurality of money storing sections thereby to issue money comprising one monetary denomination or a plurality of monetary denominations; selector means for selecting the monetary denomination to be issued from the memorized content of said memory means and providing a second indication signal representative thereof; comparator circuit means for comparing an amount of money indicated to said memory means by said first indication signal with an amount of money issued by said money issuing means issued in accordance with said second indication signal representative of a monetary denomination selected with said selector means; and means for stopping operation of said money issuing means with the aid of a coincidence signal produced by said comparator circuit means when the amount of money indicated to said memory means coincides with the amount of money issued by said money issuing means, thereby to prevent further dispensing of money.

Claim 3

An automatic money-issuing apparatus as claimed in claim 1 which includes means for choosing said amount of money to be paid in terms of monetary denominations to be dispensed and the number of pieces thereof.

Claim 4

An automatic money-dispensing apparatus comprising: means producing a signal for indicating an amount of money to be dispensed which is selected by an operator; memory means for storing said signal; a plurality of money storing sections in which currency separated according to denominations is stored respectively; money issuing means which operates to issue money piece by piece from at least one of said plurality of money storing sections thereby to issue money with one monetary denomination or a plurality of monetary denominations; selector means for selecting the monetary denomination to be issued from the memorized content of said memory means and providing an indication signal representative thereof; circuit means for operating successively to read the amount of money corresponding to said signal stored in said memory means in a predetermined order for every monetary denomination and to compare an amount of money issued with the amount of money to be dispensed in a predetermined order issued in accordance with said indication signal, said circuit means producing a coincidence signal when the amount of money to be paid equals the amount of money issued; and means for stopping the operation of the money issuing means with the aid of said coincidence signal when the amount of money to be dispensed coincides with the amount of money issued, therEby to prevent further dispensing of money.

Claim 5

An automatic money-dispensing apparatus comprising: means producing a signal for indicating an amount of money to be dispensed which is selected by an operator; memory means for storing said signal; a plurality of money storing sections in which currency separated according to denominations is stored respectively; money issuing means which operates to issue money piece by piece from at least one of said plurality of money storing sections thereby to issue money with one monetary denomination or a plurality of monetary denominations; selector means for selecting the monetary denomination to be issued from the memorized content of said memory means and providing an indication signal representative thereof; circuit means for operating successively to read the amount of money corresponding to said signal stored in said memory means in a predetermined order for every monetary denomination and to compare an amount of money issued with the amount of money to be dispensed in a predetermined order issued in accordance with said indication signal, said circuit means producing a coincidence signal when the amount of money to be paid equals the amount of money issued; and means for stopping the operation of the money issuing means with the aid of said coincidence signal when the amount of money to be dispensed coincides with the amount of money issued, therEby to prevent further dispensing of money.

Claim 6

An automatic currency dispensing apparatus, comprising: a manual keyboard adapted to select an amount of money to be dispensed, by depressing predetermined keys of said keyboard; a tape reader means for reading a code for the amount of money to be paid from a tape; an encoder means for converting a signal representing the amount of money to be paid and being issued from the tape reader or the manual keyboard into a predetermined binary code; means for registering the binary code while succeedingly shifting said binary code by one digit from a least significant digit toward the next higher digit; a display means for displaying an amount of money which displays in a decimal system a registered condition of a shift register; means for reading a numerical value of each digit of said display means thereby setting a currency-note issuing order for a note-issuing means of a note drum; a reading device means for reading notes issued from said note-issuing means; a count memory circuit means for counting a pulse output from the reading device; a comparison circuit which compares the content of a predetermined higher significant digit of the shift register with the content of the count memory circuit after completion of registering, thereby to issue a coincidence signal upon coincidence of said contents; a drum-driving circuit means which stops the note-issuing operation of a predetermined note-issuing means by said coincidence signal and shifts a following note-issuing means to a note-issuing position; and means responsive to the coincidence signal, for shifting the contents of the shift register one digit.

Claim 7

An automatic currency dispensing apparatus, comprising: a manual keyboard adapted to select an amount of money to be dispensed, by depressing predetermined keys of said keyboard; a tape reader means for reading a code for the amount of money to be paid from a tape; an encoder means for converting a signal representing the amount of money to be paid and being issued from the tape reader or the manual keyboard into a predetermined binary code; means for registering the binary code while succeedingly shifting said binary code by one digit from a least significant digit toward the next higher digit; a display means for displaying an amount of money which displays in a decimal system a registered condition of a shift register; means for reading a numerical value of each digit of said display means thereby setting a currency-note issuing order for a note-issuing means of a note drum; a reading device means for reading notes issued from said note-issuing means; a count memory circuit means for counting a pulse output from the reading device; a comparison circuit which compares the content of a predetermined higher significant digit of the shift register with the content of the count memory circuit after completion of registering, thereby to issue a coincidence signal upon coincidence of said contents; a drum-driving circuit means which stops the note-issuing operation of a predetermined note-issuing means by said coincidence signal and shifts a following note-issuing means to a note-issuing position; and means responsive to the coincidence signal, for shifting the contents of the shift register one digit.
