Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8403162A1] A portable depository container (10) for an automated teller machine (ATM) includes a receptable (12) in which are captured valuable articles as, for example, magnetic credit cards captured by the ATM. With the container dismounted from the ATM, an entry slot (16) is locked against passage of articles therethough by means of a bar (22). Upon the container being mounted in a receiving cradle (18) of the ATM, the bar (22) is moved to an unlocked position by means of key pins (168, 170) which engage and move rearwardly with a pair of slide members (42, 44). This movement of the member (42) brings about a rotational movement of a resettable indicator wheel (76) which carries a series of markings on its perimeter. The particular marking of the wheel (76) visible through an indicator window provides an indication of the number of times the bar (22) has been unlocked since resetting of the wheel, and can thereby indicate whether tampering with the container has taken place.
