ABSTRACT:
The apparatus relates to an electronic verification and control system for obtaining an input count of entered bills and an analysis for various entry conditions for the bills and their state of fitness, and further to an automatic separator and inserter for packaging bills in a desired quantity for delivery.
The system includes a conveyor for entering the quantity of a block of currency, commonly referred to as a strap, in terms of the number of bills contained within the strap. A detection circuit detects various entry conditions and determines quality and fitness. The bills are sorted accordingly, and a total count is maintained. At entry condition factors such as bill size, double bills, or bills too closely spaced are monitored, which provides for rejection of improperly entered bills as well as inhibiting the operation of the input count for consistency. Verification of an input count is provided by further ecount detection in the area of collection. Sorting, in accordance with detection and gating of the fit and unfit bills is also provided, as well as individualized count control and display. Consistency of strap size is maintained by automatically inserting separator cards between straps in accordance with a desired strap size. A logic system activates machine control sequences in accordance count strap size data provided by tracking the input count and checking for a comparison. Separator control is provided by logic responsive to the count in the collector area, also in accordance with the strap size data.
