Filed:

Appl. No.:

6/388975

Inventors:

Victor J. Vogel - Oak Ridge NJ
Robert E. Morano - Ringwood NJ

Assignee:

American Standard Inc. - New York NY

International Classification:

B65G 5132

US Classification:

406111

Abstract:

A pneumatically-propelled carrier system including a pneumatic system tube of generally circular cross section interconnecting a first terminal constructed to permit the carrier to be removed, that is, a "free carrier" terminal, and a second terminal constructed to prevent removal of the carrier, while providing access to it through a terminal access opening, this latter terminal being a "captive carrier" terminal. Since the system tube interconnecting the captive and free terminals has a generally circular cross section, the carrier, regardless of its cross section, is free to assume any rotational orientation about its longitudinal axis. To align a carrier access opening provided in the carrier and the terminal access opening of the captive carrier terminal when a carrier is received, to permit access to the carrier interior, a carrier rotating assembly is provided at the captive carrier terminal for rotating the carrier upon arrival to a predetermined rotational orientation wherein the carrier access opening aligns with the terminal access opening. Several additional features of the system are also disclosed, such as a cover and latching mechanism for the carrier which requires that both the latch mechanism and the cover be depressed to facilitate opening; a mechanism for automatically opening the carrier cover when it has been rotated to the predetermined orientation, aligning its opening with that of the terminal; and a sill and associated automatic operating mechanism which bridges the lower edges of the carrier and terminal access openings to prevent articles from falling into the space between them in the course of insertion or removal of an article relative to the interior of the carrier as an incident to a transaction at the captive carrier terminal.

International Classification:

B65G 5126

US Classification:

406111

Abstract:

A captive carrier for a heavy payload system having end caps rigidly connected thereto. Each end cap has a sliding cover mounted in an outer most surface thereof, Restraining means on the cover restrain the cover from motion in response to the captive carrier tilting outwardly toward the user thereby opening the top of the carrier. The end caps and covers have a curved profile that corresponds to the curvature of the pivoting motion of the top of the carrier, The carrier further includes a wear strip mounted on one side which is directed vertically downward when the carrier is moving in a horizontal direction.

Assignee:

Mosler, Inc. - Wayne NJ

International Classification:

B65G 5132

US Classification:

406 74

Abstract:

A downsend terminal for a pneumatic transport tube system has a pivoting tube section pivoting about an upper horizontal axis to move the pivoting tube section between a first vertical position and a second oblique position. When at the oblique second position, the carrier is dropped out of the pivoting tube section onto a carrier support holding the carrier in a generally vertical position for access to the user. When the user completes the transaction, the terminal pulls the carrier vertically back into the pivoting tube section. If the carrier is overloaded, there is insufficient force to lift it off of the carrier support, and therefore an overloaded carrier is prohibited from entering the transport tube system. In addition, the construction prevents debris and other material from entering the transport tube system.

Assignee:

American Standard Inc. - New York NY

International Classification:

B61D 1902
B61B 100

US Classification:

186 37

Abstract:

A transportation system in which cars having cargo containers are driven along tracks. Access to a car's cargo container is provided via a door on the car which is moved by a door drive system carried on the car. In the exemplary case of a remote bank teller transportation system, a car moves between two terminals in which the car and the car door are orientated vertically "right side up" in one terminal and "upside down" in the other terminal. The door drive system serves to move the door downwardly for both orientations of the car.

Appl. No.:

Inventors:

Victor J. Vogel - Oak Ridge NJ

Assignee:

American Standard Inc. - New York NY

International Classification:

B65G 5126

US Classification:

406112

Abstract:

A self-cleaning track and slidable cover for a station of a pneumatic carrier system, such as for the customer terminal of a drive-up banking system, is disclosed. The terminal cover slides along a track on the station to provide selective access to the terminal interior for insertion and removal of carriers. A temporary airflow path is defined between the bottom edge of the cover and the track through which passes pressurized air supplied to the terminal interior when the cover is closed and carrier transmission from the terminal is desired. The pressurized air passing through this path blows dirt and debris from the track which might otherwise build up and bind the sliding cover. As the air pressure in the terminal interior increases, a valve member in the form of a flexible flap extending along the airflow path moves into a position blocking the airflow path, allowing completion of pressurization of the terminal for transmission of a carrier.
