ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for dispensing sheet-like elements from a store of such elements to a receipt opening comprises an element-dispensing control circuit; first, second and third element-conveyors having respective drives electrically connected to said control circuit for controlling the respective operating sequences of said conveyor drives, said second conveyor being vertically movable towards and away from said third conveyor; and a counter for counting the number of elements dispensed from said store in response to an ordered number of said elements. The drive of the first conveyor is arranged, in cooperation with the control circuit, to dispense a given number of sheet-like elements to the second conveyor in dependence upon the absence of a previously dispensed bundle of elements on the second conveyor but independent of the presence or absence of previous conveyed bundle of elements in the receipt opening; and the drive of the second conveyor is arranged, in cooperation with the control circuit, to transfer the elements to the third conveyor in dependence upon the absence of a previously further conveyed bundle of elements in the receipt opening. In this way feeding of the sheet-like elements from said store to the receipt opening can commence during that time in which a previously conveyed bundle of elements still remains in the receipt opening.
