01 DISTRIBUTEUR DE PAPIERS VALEUR The invention relates to record member dispensers for dispensing bills of currency, traveller's checks, coupons, and the like. Prior art dispensers have been limited by the restriction of withdrawals to a multiple of the amount contained in a prepared envelope or clip, the necessity of costly hardware to ensure the proper amount is being dispensed, or the necessity of a large number of precision metal parts. The instant invention overcomes these disadvantages by providing a simple and economic dispenser which ensures only a single record at a time is dispensed and allows any number of records to be dispensed. The dispenser includes: a carrier (58, 60, 62) detachably retaining bills, a drive arrangement (72, 106) for moving the carrier to position successive bills adjacent to a discharge opening (32), and a roller system (120, 124, 126) for removing successive bills from the carrier and for discharging the bills through the discharge opening. The carrier comprises a flexible strip (58) mounted between a supply reel (60) and a take up reel (82) having bills secured at intervals by adhesive. Alternatively, the bills may be secured by fingers integral with the strip. In an alternative embodiment, the strip is formed as an endless strip mounted in a fan folded configuration. |
