Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8301608A1] A sheet handling apparatus includes a vacuum-operated, rotating pick-up wheel assembly (16) having two pairs of pick-up wheels (18 and 22). The pick-up wheels can operate to carry currency notes (70) one by one from a loading station (98) and load them into an open end of a cassette (68), or can operate to pick up notes one by one from the open end of the cassette and carry them to a release station (118). A solenoid-operated control means is provided for switching the apparatus from a loading mode of operation to a pick-up mode, and vice versa. In a pick-up mode, the pick-up wheels make rolling contact with the first note in the stack, and by virtue of this arrangement the risk of multiple notes being removed from the stack is considerably reduced. The apparatus may be used in an automatic bank teller system.
