Patent ID: 8636274

Claim:
Storing and issuing device for banknotes and/or other flexible documents, for use in an equipment for the automatic processing of banknotes including a transport mechanism for moving entering banknotes serially and in a spaced way, wherein said storing and issuing device handles banknotes of a given height and includes a taking-up roller, a motor of the taking-up roller, at least one transport belt provided for wrapping on the taking-up roller together with the banknotes, a sensor of output for detecting the passage of an entering banknote, holding means actuatable for causing the entering banknote to be engaged with the transport belt, a driving circuit defining a servomechanism for the motor of the taking-up roller, and an electronic unit for the holding means and said driving circuit said storing and issuing device further defining a reference position along the transport belt between the taking up roller and the holding means for an output edge of a last stored banknote based on the height of the handled banknotes; wherein said electronic unit controls said holding means and said driving circuit on the basis of an algorithm of entering associated to physical parameters of said storing and issuing device, the transport velocity and the height of the handled banknotes, information of transit from the sensor of output and stored parameters referred to detection and calculations effected on the last stored banknote; and wherein said electronic unit is provided for causing the last stored banknote to be arrested so as to position its output edge at said reference position and for causing an entered banknote to be arrested with respect to the transport belt so as to position its input edge at said reference position, with void space queuing with respect the last stored banknote and such to provide the input edge of said entered banknote to be spaced apart from 0.0 mm to 3.0 mm from the output edge of the last stored banknote.
