Abstract
Abstract A trouble-detecting system in an automatic money dispenser comprising a first detecting section for detecting a moneydispensing operation of a money-dispensing mechanism thereby to produce a first detecting signal; a second detecting section for detecting the fact that money has been actually dispensed through a money-dispensing outlet thereby to produce a second detecting signal; and a time-lapse counter operated by the first and second detecting signals, thereby to detect trouble in the dispensation of money, at the same time to stop the operation of the moneydispensing mechanism, and to operate an alarm display device.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
A trouble-detecting system in a money dispenser having a money dispensing section for dispensing money from a moneystocking section, said system comprising: a first detecting section for detecting the money dispensing operation of the money dispensing section thereby to produce a first detecting signal; a second detecting section for detecting the dispensation of money through a money-dispensing outlet thereby to produce a second detecting signal; and time-lapse counter means operated by the first and second detecting signals, said time-lapse counter means producing a trouble-detecting signal by counting to a predetermined counting value when the second detecting signal is not produced in spite of the production of the first detecting signal, the money dispensing section operating to stop the money dispensing operation with the aid of the trouble-detecting signal when no money is dispensed in spite of the repetition of money dispensing operation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
142 words
A trouble-detecting system in a money dispenser having a money dispensing section for dispensing money from a moneystocking section, said system comprising: a first detecting section for detecting the money dispensing operation of the money dispensing section thereby to produce a first detecting signal; a second detecting section for detecting the dispensation of money through a money-dispensing outlet thereby to produce a second detecting signal; and time-lapse counter means operated by the first and second detecting signals, said time-lapse counter means producing a trouble-detecting signal by counting to a predetermined counting value when the second detecting signal is not produced in spite of the production of the first detecting signal, the money dispensing section operating to stop the money dispensing operation with the aid of the trouble-detecting signal when no money is dispensed in spite of the repetition of money dispensing operation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
62 words
A trouble-detecting system as claimed in claim 1 in which said time-lapse counter means is operated by receiving said first detecting signal and said second detecting signal as a counting input and a resetting input, respectively, the non-application of said second detecting signal to said time-lapse counter means within a predetermined period of time being detected as trouble in the money dispenser.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
80 words
A trouble-detecting system as claimed in claim 1 in which said time-lapse counter means comprises a discriminating section formed as a counter which receives said first detecting signal and said second detecting signal as a counting input and a resetting input, reSpectively, said discriminating section producing an output which indicates trouble in the money dispenser when the counting of the discriminating section has come up to a predetermined counting value while said second detecting pulse has not been applied thereto.
