Abstract: Banking equipment money dispensers wherein a bill picker removes paper money bills one at a time from stacked bills at a dispenser station. The stack of bills is delivered with maximum security in a sealed, loaded container from a central bank loading station. Bills are dispensed at the dispenser station through an access opening by a bill picker. The locked container delivered to the dispenser station is mounted on and locked to a retainer. Unlocking the container access and entry opening closure lock permits loading with a stack of bills and dispensing bills from the stack. The closure lock has duplicate keys for locking and unlocking the lock, one maintained protectively at the bank loading station and the other held captive by the dispenser retainer. The captive key can unlock the container lock only when the container is in retained position. The locked container during delivery cannot be opened without physical damage.

Abstract: A depository construction for receiving deposits at unattended banking equipment units in deposit-containing envelopes, and for issuing receipts for such deposits to bank customers. The customer activates the depository mechanism to initiate a deposit procedure by pressing a button, using a key or inserting a customer-identifying card at a banking unit. Activation of the mechanism opens an entry gate for a horizontal deposit entry slot to permit a deposit-containing envelope to be inserted into the slot, and energizes the drive mechanism of an envelope belt conveyor to transport the envelope through the mechanism. As the trailing end of the envelope passes an entry sensor, the entry gate is closed and a conveyor exit gate is opened. As the leading end of the envelope arrives at the exit end of the conveyor, an exit sensor energizes a printer beyond the exit end of the conveyor which stamps deposit data on the envelope.
