Abstract: A chamber has a safe and a bill receiver for validating bills of various denominations and for signaling the denomination of each bill. A cash dispenser mounted on the chamber dispenses cartridges containing units of cash one at a time in response to the bill denomination signal. An electronic cash control system is mounted within the safe and includes software for recording each deposit into the bill receiver, recording each withdrawal from the cash dispenser, and providing detailed reports of all such transactions.

Abstract: A paper currency deposit and validating safe includes a generally box like housing having walls forming a chamber comprising a safe for securing money, bill receiving apparatus on the housing for receiving and validating bills of various denominations and for generating a signal proportionate to the denomination of each validated bill, data input port and data output port on the housing, and an electronic cash control system mounted within the safe and including software for recording and storing each deposit into the bill receiving apparatus, each access into the safe and each removal of bills from the bill receiving apparatus and for providing accountings of all such transactions.

Abstract: A combination money deposit and dispensing safe, includes a generally box-like housing having a front door, and back and side walls forming a chamber defining a safe for securing money, a bill receiving apparatus mounted in the front door of the safe for receiving bills of various denominations, for validating the bills and for generating a signal indicative of the validation and determining the denomination of the bills and generating a signal proportionate to the denomination of each of the validated bills, a cash dispensing apparatus mounted in said front door of the safe, having multiple cartridges for containing units of cash for dispensing, a dispensing tray rotatably mounted at the bottom of each cartridge, a latch releasable in response to the signal to enable the manual operation of a dispensing tray of a cartridge of cash proportionate to the signal, and a manually operable handle for dispensing an enabled unit of cash.

Abstract: A remote control station and integrally installed electronic control circuit for use with a bolt and lock mechanism is set forth. In the lock, an air supply connected with first and second solenoid valves is incorporated and has a rod which extends to manipulate the bolt; bolt position is indicated by a switch means determining movement of the bolt to the deadlock position, and a door position switch is also incorporated. Various control signals are formed and are interlocked so that remote control or key switch control of the lock mechanism is obtained. It is implemented by providing control signals to the solenoid valves. They cause the bolt to move between the deadbolt and retracted positions, or to the intermediate slamlock position.

Abstract: Multiple embodiments of a security lock mechanism being adapted for both deadlocked and slam-lock operation are disclosed with different combinations of features including a housing, a movable locking bolt, a rotatable cam having a pin engaged with a slot in the bolt and a centering device such as a remote drive unit or double-acting spring mechanism coupled with the rotatable cam by a lost motion coupling for facilitating slam-lock and deadlocked operation of the security lock mechanism. With the remote drive unit being a pneumatically operated cylinder and piston, the piston is preferably of split construction to facilitate overriding operation of the remote drive unit, for example, by a key.
