Abstract: A storage system includes a cassette tape case having a first portion defining a recess extending along a length of the case and a second portion that is rotatably coupled with the first portion. The second portion has two protrusions that extend into an interior of the case at a medial position. The protrusions are aligned with a longitudinal axis of the case. A storage device is insertable within the case, the storage device having a storage device body with a two sides and being generally shaped like a cassette tape. The body defines two circular apertures that extend at least partially through a thickness of the body. When the storage device is inserted within the case, each protrusion extends at least partially into a respective circular aperture. The body defines a recess extending along a length of the body and extending partially through the thickness of the body.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a transit transfer path unit structure connecting a supply/collection cassette and a banknote transfer path of an upper main body in an ATM which includes the upper main body and a lower main body and has a structure in which the supply/collection cassette is mounted on one side of the lower main body. The transit transfer path unit is disposed on one side of the upper main body of the ATM, and detachably provided between the supply/collection cassette and the banknote transfer path provided in the upper main body for separation from a banknote transfer route. Thus, the upper main body may be easily pulled to the front or rear of the ATM without any interference with the transit transfer path unit to perform the maintenance work, enhancing the convenience of the maintenance of the ATM.

Abstract: A sheet storing apparatus includes: a compression section that performs first compression and second compression by applying a pressing force to sheets stored in a bag; and a control section that controls the pressing force.

Abstract: A bullet-proof backpack includes a back protection section having bullet-proof material integrated therein. The back protection section is sized to cover a portion of a user's upper back when the backpack is worn by the user. The bullet-proof backpack also includes a neck protection section having bullet-proof material integrated therein. The neck protection section is movably connected to the backpack and operable to move from a stored position to a deployed position. When the neck protection section is in its stored position, it is stored against a portion of the backpack. When the neck protection section is in its deployed position, it covers a back of the user's neck and a back portion of the user's head when the backpack is worn by the user.

Abstract: A banknote cash unit capable of securely sealing an opening of a storage bag is disclosed. The storage bag has a first fixation tab and a second fixation tab. The opening is defined between the first fixation tab and the second fixation tab. The banknote cash unit includes a housing, a banknote inlet unit and a paper sheet storing unit. The banknote inlet unit is disposed on the housing. The paper sheet storing unit is installed in the housing and for holding the storage bag. The paper sheet storing unit includes a first sealing module and a second sealing module disposed next to the first sealing module. When the second fixation tab is closed to the first fixation, the first sealing module generates a first sealing portion and the second sealing module generates a second sealing portion, so as to combine the first fixation tab and the second fixation tab.

Abstract: A device for receiving banknotes with a frame which provides a banknote opening, and has a banknote bag connected to the frame using a bag opening so that banknotes are introducible through the banknote opening and the bag opening into the banknote bag. The device has a sliding bolt. The frame has an upper frame and a lower frame being separable from each other, and the banknote opening extends through both frames when the upper frame is connected to the lower frame. The frame has a guide for inserting the sliding bolt which is designed so that in the inserted state, the sliding bolt is locked with the frame and completely covers the banknote opening of the two frames.

Abstract: A plunger moves from a retracted position to an extended position to engage a document which is on a receiving platform to push the document through an opening in the receiving platform and towards a stacking platform to stack the document on the stacking platform. The plunger moves from the extended position back to the retracted position to allow a biasing force which is acting on the stacking platform to press the document which has just been stacked on the stacking platform against the receiving platform.

Abstract: Bank notes placed in a tray (13) are slid into an enclosure (10), whereupon a lever (15) is operated to drive down a plunger (17) which opens flaps (21,22) in the bottom of the tray to displace the notes into a carrier (12) in a lower part of the enclosure. The carrier (12) has snap-fitted into its top a frame (107) which also has flaps (21A,22A) which deflect downward as the money enters a bag (108) provided by elasticated material which spans the frame (107). Thereafter a cover plate (111) seals the frame (107) which can then be removed from the carrier (12) to be transported e.g. to a bank.

Abstract: Bullet resistant apparatus includes a spring biased panel which extends out one end of the briefcase. The briefcase, with the extended panel, is then rotated ninety degrees to define a bullet resistant shield for a user. The apparatus is made of composite bullet resistant materials and utilizes a compression spring for deployment of a panel disposed within the briefcase. The compression spring is disposed in a pair of telescoping sleeves. The sleeves allow the spring to compress and then to extend to about double its compressed length.

Abstract: A security box comprising a box which defines an enclosed chamber, a closure on a wall of the box to provide selective access to the chamber, a lock provided on the closure, a slot formed in a wall of the box and opening into the chamber, an elongate insert receivable in the slot, a movable platen supported within the chamber in substantially opposed relation to the slot and being movable within the chamber towards and away from the slot, and biassing means to bias the platen into face to face engagement with the internal face of the wall accommodating the slot.

Abstract: A repository for storing small articles is constructed to resemble a common household object, such as a videotape cassette. The articles are placed in two containers mounted on the base of the repository, and the containers are sealed by a cover which is placed over them. The closed repository can be inserted into a sleeve which holds the base and the cover together. The sleeve has been marked with letters and designs to resemble the sleeve of a standard videotape cassette. The cover has been formed to resemble the top of a standard videotape cassette, but it also has a picture attached to it which depicts the inside of a videotape cassette and which thereby simulates a videotape cassette even more effectively. By simulating a common household object such as a video cassette, the repository is not likely to be discovered by a thief. The base includes apertures like those of a standard videotape cassette.

Abstract: A full length, inflatable body shield or bulletproof mattress which can be carried in portable fashion in a stored condition within a relatively small case having a source of pressurized gas. A valve is provided to open the gas source to inflate the mattress stored in a collapsed condition in the case. In one embodiment, the mattress is carried in a case which has the appearance of a conventional briefcase. The case can be opened by an electronic system or manual backup system operated by the switches near the handle of the case. In another embodiment, the mattress is carried in a case which appears to be a backpack. The backpack is opened by pulling the clip when it is desired to inflate and use the mattress.
