Abstract: An arrangement for feeding banknotes to a storage space comprises a command device 64 for externally controlling the functions of the arrangement, a detector for detecting and examining sequentially transported banknotes and for internally controlling their transport, a collecting location 22 for banknotes which pass the detector sequentially in series, and a plurality of storage locations each having an infeed 260, 270 which form part of a transport path. The arrangement includes a transporter 23 for conveying a bundle of banknotes in the collecting location either to an outfeed opening 62 or to a feed table 24 on the input side of the transport path. The transporter includes a roller chain 230 having a gripper 231 for transporting documents to the transport path, and a toothed arm 232 which coacts with the roller chain 230 for transporting documents to the outfeed opening.

Abstract: An apparatus for feeding banknotes from an infeed opening 61, 66 along a transport path to a storage space comprises a detector 121 for detecting and controlling the transportation of the banknotes, a plurality of mutually separate storage locations 26, 27 in the storage space, a collecting location 22, a further transport path leading from the collecting location 22 to an outfeed opening 62, and a command input device 64. The infeed opening acommodates the manual insertion of a bundle of banknotes, or the insertion of a cassette 26' containing banknotes. The storage space accommodates the cassettes. Located between the infeed opening and the cassettes is a first transport route 201-202, 205, 22, 260-270 which includes the collecting location 22, and a second transport route 202-202, 205',260-270 which bypasses it. A choice can be made between the first and second transport routes and the second transport path with the aid of the command input device 64.

Abstract: An arrangement for feeding banknotes detects sequentially transported banknotes and controls their transport to a plurality of storage locations each having an additional infeed, which together form part of a transport path. The arrangement consists of one part (11 . . . 133) which incorporates an infeed opening (61), a detector (121) and a part of the transport path, along which the banknotes are fed in the direction of their longitudinal axes, and another part (201-2705) which incorporates modular storage locations (26,27) which house cassettes (26',27'), and the remaining part of the transport part, along which the banknotes are fed in the direction of the transverse axes. The length of each banknote is established with the aid of a measuring device (14-16) and therewith the location of the midway point of the banknote.
