Abstract
Abstract A paper document transacting apparatus for storing and extracting a paper document into and out of storages through a transporting unit. The apparatus comprises a detector for detecting a transporting condition of the paper document, an indicator for indicating an abnormal transport position of the document, a control switch for controlling a transporting unit, and a controller for controlling the indicator such that, when the abnormal transport position is detected, at least a leading abnormal transport position in a transporting direction out of abnormal transport positions is indicated as well as driving the transporting unit at a low speed according to a signal from the control switch. According to another embodiment, a paper document transacting apparatus comprises a transporting unit capable of being pulled out of the paper document transacting apparatus, a driving device for driving the transporting unit at a low speed or at a normal speed, first and second switches provided in the transporting unit to change their ON and OFF states according to whether the transporting unit is pulled in or out of the paper document transacting apparatus, and a third switch for instructing the driving device of a low-speed operation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
An automatic transacting apparatus, comprising: a plurality of storage compartments; transporting means for storing and extracting paper documents into/from said storage compartments; means for detecting a delivery malfunction of the transporting means when documents have not been transported correctly; means for indicating the position of the document in the transporting means when a malfunction has occured; switch means for generating a reset control signal for controlling the operation of said transporting means; and means for controlling said transporting means such that said transporting means is driven at a low speed after detection of a malfunction of said transporting means when a signal from said switching means is received at said controlling means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
112 words
An automatic transacting apparatus, comprising: a plurality of storage compartments; transporting means for storing and extracting paper documents into/from said storage compartments; means for detecting a delivery malfunction of the transporting means when documents have not been transported correctly; means for indicating the position of the document in the transporting means when a malfunction has occured; switch means for generating a reset control signal for controlling the operation of said transporting means; and means for controlling said transporting means such that said transporting means is driven at a low speed after detection of a malfunction of said transporting means when a signal from said switching means is received at said controlling means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
An automatic transacting apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said control means controls said transporting means such that the remaining paper document is collected into a predetermined place while said transporting means is driven at said slow speed.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
An automatic transacting apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said control means controls said indicating means so as to indicate the position of remaining paper documents from said leading malfunctioning position by the activation of said switch means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
An automatic transacting apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said control means collects the remaining paper documents transferred by the transporting means into a predetermined place according to said signal from the switch means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
117 words
An automatic transacting apparatus, said apparatus comprising: a plurality of storage compartments, means for detecting a transporting position of the paper document; means for judging according to the detected result from said detecting means whether or not a delivery malfunction of the transporting means exists; means for indicating the transporting position of the paper document that has not been transported correctly; switch means for generating a reset control signal, means for controlling said transporting means so that when said judging means have indicated a malfunction said transporting means is driven at a low speed according to the control signal from said switch means to collect the paper documents remaining in said transporting means into a predetermined place.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
117 words
An automatic transacting apparatus, said apparatus comprising: a plurality of storage compartments, means for detecting a transporting position of the paper document; means for judging according to the detected result from said detecting means whether or not a delivery malfunction of the transporting means exists; means for indicating the transporting position of the paper document that has not been transported correctly; switch means for generating a reset control signal, means for controlling said transporting means so that when said judging means have indicated a malfunction said transporting means is driven at a low speed according to the control signal from said switch means to collect the paper documents remaining in said transporting means into a predetermined place.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
36 words
An automatic transacting apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein said control means controls the indicating means so as to indicate the position of said remaining paper documents during the collection of said remaining paper documents.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
37 words
An automatic transacting apparatus as claimed in claim 6, wherein said control means controls the indicating means so as to indicate the leading abnormal transport position and the position of the remaining paper documents in different modes.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
35 words
An automatic transacting apparatus as claimed in claim 7, wherein said indicating means indicates the leading abnormal transport position in a flashing mode and the position of the remaining paper document in a steady mode.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
87 words
An automatic transacting apparatus comprising: transporting means for transporting a paper document in one of two conditions, in the first condition said transporting means being stored within the apparatus and in the second condition said transporting being pulled out and separated from the apparatus; means for driving said transporting means; switch means in said transporting means for detecting whether said transporting means is in the first or second condition; and reset switch means for instructing said driving means to transfer the paper document at a low speed.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
87 words
An automatic transacting apparatus comprising: transporting means for transporting a paper document in one of two conditions, in the first condition said transporting means being stored within the apparatus and in the second condition said transporting being pulled out and separated from the apparatus; means for driving said transporting means; switch means in said transporting means for detecting whether said transporting means is in the first or second condition; and reset switch means for instructing said driving means to transfer the paper document at a low speed.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
60 words
An automatic transacting apparatus as claimed in claim 9, wherein, when the transporting means is pulled out of the apparatus body, the first and third switch means are turned on to drive the transporting means at the low speed by the drive means while the second switch means turned off to disregard external operating instructions given to the driving means.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
26 words
