ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for receiving checks including coins and the like whereby checks deposited in fareboxes or similar mechanisms can be inspected by detecting means for recording the value of the checks and for determining the authenticity of the checks. The apparatus particularly includes a movable disc and adjacent wall arrangement for separating checks one from the other when the checks are deposited in a manner such that one or more checks is held in overlying relationship with another check. The separating arrangement comprises a first surface on the disc, which may define friction means, for engaging the side of a check with an opposed surface of the wall being provided in the apparatus for engaging the side of a check stacked against the other check. A drive is provided for achieving relative movement between the surfaces whereby the check engaged by one surface will be moved away from the check engaged by the other surface to automatically eliminate the stacked relationship. At the same time, the checks are moved against a ramp which serves as a reference point for an electronic device so that each check will be individually observed by the detecting device even though several checks may be deposited simultaneously.
