Flat banknote dispenser

Abstract

A low profile banknote stacker/dispenser uses a central diverting switch provided intermediate two opposed banknote stackers. The stack of banknotes is passed from one banknote stacker to the other banknote stacker, and the central switch allows a new banknote to be added and aligned with the banknote stacker. The banknote stacker is then passed in the opposite direction for the addition of a further banknote to the banknote stacker. This oscillating modular design is space efficient and cost effective.

1 . A flat banknote stacker/dispenser comprising a central diverting switch for a banknote to be dispensed, opposed banknote stacker receivers for receiving a stack of banknotes and transporting a stack of banknotes through said central diverting switch to said opposed banknote stacker, a banknote feed arrangement coordinated with said banknote stackers and said central routing switch for adding a banknote to a stack of banknotes passing through said switch or for initiating a stack of banknotes to be dispensed; said stacker/dispenser oscillating said stack of banknotes in opposite directions; said banknote stacker/dispenser, including a discharge port for discharging the stack of banknotes through said discharge port.
