摘要:
An arrangement for the infeeding and outfeeding of valuable documents, such as banknotes, cheques, etc., comprising command means (10) for controlling the functions of the arrangement from without, and storage means (11-13) for storing valuable documents fed into the arrangement between mutually coacting belts (11, 12, 13). The storage means (11-13) is allocated well-defined and registered document storage positions (113, 114, 115, ... 11n) for incoming documents. A detector means (412) functions to identify an incoming valuable document prior to storage of the document in a well-defined and unoccupied position. The arrangement also includes a memory means (14) for storing information relating to respective positions of incoming documents, and path selector means (16) which when in a first position (161) enables valuable documents to be fed to the storage means (11-13), and which when in a second position (162) enables, in accordance with information obtained from the memory means (14), valuable documents earlier stored in the document storage means (11-13) to be dispensed from the arrangement in response to a command entered through the medium of the command means (10). This enables the arrangement to receive a mixture of different valuable documents on each infeed occasion and to dispense on each outfeed occasion a desired number and desired type of valuable documents predetermined through the command means (10).
