ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for counting and selectively voiding tickets. An input bin is provided wherein a stack of tickets are initially queued. Using a conveyor, each ticket is advanced from the input bin past a sensing device. The sensing device detects the presence of each ticket and produces a signal indicative of the passage of each ticket past the sensing device. This signal is conveyed to an electronic counting device that maintains a cumulative total count of the tickets. The apparatus may be set to continuously count any tickets placed in the input bin or set to stop after counting a predetermined number of tickets. The apparatus also includes a punch that is selectively controlled to enable the optional voiding of each ticket as it is counted.
