Drum machine for the storage of banknotes

摘要

A machine for the storage of banknotes comprises means ( 11, 22 ) for conveying banknotes in sequence from an input ( 13 ) of the machine to an internal compartment ( 14 ) that comprises in turn a winding drum ( 15 ) of a couple of support tapes ( 16, 17 ) with the interposed banknotes conveyed to the compartment. Overlapping means ( 23 ) are present between the input ( 13 ) of the machine and the winding drum ( 15 ) that receive the banknotes in nonoverlapped sequence from the input ( 13 ) and send them partially overlapped towards the drum ( 15 ). Further spacing means ( 23 ) are provided for re-spacing the banknotes at the output from the compartment. The overlapping means and the spacing means can be made with the same device ( 23 ) suitably actuated.
