Abstract: A terminal for a pneumatic tube system having a tube section pivotally mounted within the terminal for swinging movement between first and second positions. The swing tube communicates with the open end of a carrier send and receive tube which connects the terminal with the pneumatic tube system when in the first position. The swing tube communicates with a carrier delivery mechanism when in the second position which provides access to the carrier by a bank teller or customer. A bellcrank mechanism has a roller mounted on the extended end of a first bellcrank lever which is engaged for sliding movement in a camming slot formed in a cam block mounted on the swing tube. The extended end of a second bellcrank lever is connected to a motor driven slide rod for actuation of the bellcrank mechanism to pivot the swing tube between the first and second positions through the roller-cam engagement.

Abstract: A pneumatic tube carrier has a payload compartment formed by a pair of side column members and spaced end plates. The carrier is formed with at least one side opening for access to the compartment which is closed by a pair of doors, with each door of the pair closing one-half of the access opening. The doors are mounted on the column members on opposite sides of the compartment by cams for swinging movement between open and closed positions. Spring-biased control rods extend longitudinally through bores formed in the side column members. The rod ends extend through the carrier end plates and engage rocker arms pivotally mounted within end cap cavities which are formed on the ends of the carrier. Pins formed on the control rods extend through slots formed in the cams for rotating the cams and their associated doors when the control rods are moved linearly within the bores.
