Abstract: A customer terminal for a single tube pneumatic system for banking and the like features a two-piece carrier receiver which includes a carrier tray that first moves downwardly from a stationary receiver housing and then forwardly and upwardly to present a carrier in the tray to a customer, the tray and carrier remaining parallel to the receiver housing. The tray is resiliently mounted to the mechanism which manipulates it and the joint between the tray and housing is contoured both to improve sealing between the two parts and to reduce wear on the seal itself. The air pressure/exhaust ports into the carrier chamber within the receiver are disposed between the ends of the chamber in order to provide an air cushion for reducing the shock of an arriving carrier and to prevent loose items in the system from being sucked into the blower.

Abstract: The customer station or terminal of a pneumatic carrier system for drive-up banking and the like employing a single interconnecting tube features a horizontally disposed, tubular carrier receiver connected at one end to the tube and slotted adjacent its other end for insertion and removal of a carrier. The slotted aperture is opened and closed by a sliding sleeve controlled by the arrival of a carrier at and its subsequent replacement in the receiver by a customer.
