ABSTRACT:
A cash cartridge for a cash processing machine includes: a pressure plate for biasing a stack of bank notes in a particular direction towards a cash outlet and for squeezing the stack of bank notes together; a pair of pulleys; an endless belt mounted on the pair of pulleys, with the pressure plate being fixedly mounted to the endless belt and being moved in the particular direction by rotation of the endless belt and the pair of pulleys in a certain particular rotational direction; a means for biasing the endless belt and the pair of pulleys in that particular rotational direction; a door which is opened for charging bank notes into the cash cartridge and is otherwise closed; and a means for preventing the endless belt and the pair of pulleys from rotating in the opposite rotational direction and for allowing them to rotate in the particular rotational direction when the door is closed, and for allowing the endless belt and the pair of pulleys to rotate in either rotational direction when the door is open. Thereby, when the door is open, the pressure plate can be easily moved back so as to recharge the cash cartridge with bank notes, while, when the door is closed, the pressure plate can only move in the direction to compress the stack of bank notes but not in the reverse direction, thus making transport of the charged cash cartridge without disturbing the bank notes charged therein practicable.
