Multiple bank note temporary storing device for bank note totaling machine

摘要

Herein disclosed is a multiple bank note temporary storing device for use with a bank note totaling machine. The storing device includes a piling station for piling a multiplicity of discontinuously fed bank notes consecutively with a slight shift into a stepwise shape. Further inclusive is a temporary storing station formed in a clearance between conveyor belts for arranging the piled bank notes while allowing them to fall down into the clearance generally in parallel with the facing sides of the belts. Thus, the arranged bank notes can be fed as a whole selectively into their tray and the return exit of the bank note totaling machine. As a result, this totaling machine can be reduced in size but can accomplish its arranging and totaling operations in a reduced number of steps orderly and efficiently without any totaling error.
