  • This invention relates to apparatus for dispensing sums of money in mixed denominations each such sum being that required for a particular purpose or by a particular person.
  • Apparatus according to the invention has a particularly relevant application in banking establishments where sums of money are issued to customers against quires and the cashier counts out, or as far as possible produces precounted packets of, the required numbers of banknotes and coins of various values. Additionally in many banking systems, for example those practiced in the United Kingdom, the cashier additionally endorses the cheque with a record of the numbers or total value of the various types of currency actually issued and, commonly also enters the monetary value of each cheque cashed upon a separate transaction sheet.
  • the stacks of banknotes may be arranged in any convenient formation, for example, in side-by-side or tiered relationship. They may be positioned in fixed relationship to the banknote removing means or adapted for movement to and away from such means.
  • the banknotes in each stack may be arranged horizontally or, as we prefer, on edge, thereby to facilitate the rapid removal of individual banknotes therefrom.
  • The'number of stacks, in any given machine, most usefully corresponds to the number of different denominations of paper currency issued by the country where the machine is to be used.
  • the means for removing individual banknotes may be any sheet-removing means capable of rapid and efficient action and adapted for precise control.
  • suction banknote removing means more particularly oscillatory such devices, rather than mechanical such devices.
  • a banknote removing device may be provided for each stack or a single such means may be adapted to remove notes from the various stacks sequentially.
  • the removing means are adapted to remove notes from an end or front face of a stack.
  • the banknote sensing means may be any device adapted to sense the passage of pieces of paper but we prefer to employ photosensitive devices and, in order to facilitate accurate dispensation of banknotes, such devices which are adapted not only to sense the passage of banknotes to the dispensation station but also, either or both, to actuate means for deflecting double or overlapped notes from the transportation means or to give a warning signal on the passage of any such notes to the dispensation station.
  • the means for selecting the value of money to be dispensed in any denomination comprises a single group of manually operable electrical switch means but individual such switch means may be provided for each denomination.

  • the machine may include valueindicative switches, for example of the push-button type, each operative to indicate one of the digits 0 to 9 and separate denomination-indicative switches operable, in conjunction with the operation of selected value switches, to determine whether the value is to be dispensed in coinage or in a particular denomination of banknote.

  • Any convenient circuitry may be employed to cause machines within the scope of this invention to dispense the banknotes and, optionally, also the coinage, corresponding to the value-indicative and denominationindicative switches operated for any given transaction.
  • the information fed in by the switches may set up corresponding register counters (or an equivalent thereof), for example, up-down"type register counters, for each denomination which are adapted to control the operation of the respective dispense means which, in turn may be controlled by the passage of the currency to the dispensation station, thereby to ensure that the exact requirements are dispensed.
  • signals derived by the passage of currency to the dispensation station may be fed back to the appropriate register-counter to decrement the same as the dispense proceeds and to cause the dispensation to cease when the said register is empty; in the case of banknotes, feed-back pulses may be derived directly from the photosensitive devices above referred to.

  • the register counters may be set up directly by the operation of the switch means or alternatively intermediate key-in-stores may be used. In either case, separate electric circuits adapted to be influenced by the operation of each respective value-indicative digital switch may be provided, each such circuit being adapted to produce a pulse representative of the relevant digit to convert it to a binary-coded-decimal function and to route it, for example via shift register means when more than units are involved, to the appropriate counter register.
  • a separate such store may be provided for each type and denomination of currency but conveniently a single such store may be used in a sequential manner. In such latter instances, the operation of the appropriate denominationindic ative switch will route the contents of the store to the corresponding register counter and clear the keyin-store ready for the introduction of information relation to the value to be dispensed in another denomination.
