  • Patent number: 4033090
    Abstract: A system for loading a predetermined plurality of rows of rolls of coins from a roll-receiving table into a box includes conveyor means for receiving each fully loaded box, means movable between raised and lowered positions for supporting the box on a side thereof with an opening of the box exposed to receive rows of rolls urged endwise into the box from the table to cause the box to move downwardly upon receipt of each row of rolls. Means limiting the downward movement of the box-supporting means after each loading of a row of rolls into the box serves to register the box opening in position to receive each subsequent row of rolls. A fulcrum means carried substantially at the predetermined level of the conveyor when the box has been filled permits the box to be tipped across the fulcrum onto the conveyor to dispose the box opening at the top of the box for transport via the conveyor to an inspection station.

  • Patent number: 3995750
    Abstract: A document transport and system particularly useful as a bank-proof machine employs a keyboard of a type for normal use with two hands simultaneously for recording data read from checks by the keyboard operator. A feed hopper feeds checks one at a time from the hopper to a cyclic check-transport carrier interposed between the hopper and a check-transport channel for receiving the checks and carrying the checks therealong. The surface of the carrier is disposed to receive checks thereon from the hopper at a position disposed to permit reading of the checks by the keyboard operator as the carrier moves to carry the checks to the check-transport channel. Means are provided for retaining the checks to the carrier for reading by the operator and for releasing the checks from the carrier at a position in the movement thereof so as to discharge the checks into the transport channel, and for moving the checks along the channel.
