Abstract
A system for triggering bank equipment bill destruction devices and methodology for triggering bank equipment bill destruction devices. The system increases security of Automated Teller Machine (ATM) and cash dispenser bank equipment by innovating a trigger rail which is a separate unit directly mounted to the cassette assembly of the bank equipment and is fixed through ignition nozzles which are attached and inserted in openings provided on a structure of the cassettes. The methodology comprises using pyrotechnic means to trigger the bill destruction devices placed inside the cassettes of a bank equipment unit.
Claims5
A system for triggering bank equipment bill destruction devices for use in ATM and cash dispenser bank equipment (EB), devised to trigger incineration devices (2) that destroy money bills stored within cassettes (1) placed inside the bank equipment (EB), wherein the triggering system (S) features, as its main component, the trigger rail (3), a separate unit that is directly mounted to the cassette assembly (1) of the bank equipment (EB);
- the trigger rail (3) is fixed through the ignition nozzles (4) which are attached to the openings (5) provided in the structure (6) of the cassettes (1);
- the trigger rail (3) includes openings (9) provided on the front side (10) of the trigger rail (3), with said openings (9) established in accordance with the angled flaps (11) that drive the sparks (F) towards the openings (9) and, therefrom, to the spark sensor (12) which, in turn, triggers the ignition nozzles (4) that generate the respective flames (C) to trigger the incineration mechanism (2);
- the spark sensors (12) are connected to each other through a fuse (13), vertically positioned inside the trigger rail (3).
