    摘要: A system for verifying the credit status of individual consumers is disclosed, along with a terminal structure for facilitating point of sale credit checks. The system includes a central processing unit which is coupled through suitable communication channels to a plurality of remotely located terminals. Each terminal includes an apparatus for holding a credit card and for reading information imprinted thereon and a printing mechanism for printing identification and purchase information on an appropriate business form. The terminal also includes a price register in which the amount of a particular proposed credit sale is set. A logic network is provided to lock the printer and the price register while identifying information contained on the credit card is transmitted to the central processing unit. The central processing unit then determines whether the holder of the credit card is entitled to credit in the amount of the proposed sale, and then transmits the appropriate information to the point of sale terminal. The information signal unlocks the printer, thus permitting printing of the business form. Variations of the basic device are also disclosed, such as a device for preventing the return of fraudulent or expired credit cards.

    摘要: A reader assembly is disclosed for detecting recorded information carried by credit or identification cards. The reader assembly preferably includes a magnetic transducer for reading conventional magnetic codes. The transducer is moveably mounted in the top or cover plate of the reader assembly, which is hinged to permit ready access to the interior of the reader assembly, for emergency servicing or routine maintenance. A card transport mechanism is provided, which is preferably powered by a reversible D.C. motor. The transport mechanism is activated by insertion of a card into the reader assembly. The mechanism is adjustable to permit the reader to handle cards of varying thicknesses and widths.
