Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0379638A1] A device (1) for receiving and distributing banknotes (2) has a tester (8), switches (13 to 16), a transport system (19 to 31), a control device (12) with a storage part (35), and a single banknote store (9, 10, 13, 14, 20, 23, 25, 31, 32, 33) for various predetermined value steps in the same cash stack (34). The transport system allows a transfer of the banknotes (2) in the banknote store (9, 10, 13, 14, 20, 23, 25, 31, 32, 33), the uppermost banknote (2) being removed from a cash stack (34) of the banknote store (9, 10, 13, 14, 20, 23, 25, 31, 32, 33) and being returned to the banknote store (9, 10, 13, 14, 20, 23, 25, 31, 32, 33) through a cash entry (32) by means of a conveyor band (19) and a transport band (27). The banknote store (9, 10, 13, 14, 20, 23, 25, 31, 32, 33) is transferred until the banknote (2) of the predetermined value step which has to be distributed is fed into the transport system (19 to 31). Before being distributed through a distribution orifice (4), the banknote (2) is checked by means of the tester (8). During reception, non-identifiable material is transported into a reject tray (5), for example by way of a reject zone (28). <IMAGE>
