ABSTRACT:
A bill escrow/return device is provided which includes a bill escrow chamber sized and positioned to receive a bill of a predetermined width, a bill pusher plate reciprocally mounted for movement into and out of the bill escrow chamber, a bill stacker unit for receiving the bill from the bill escrow chamber by means of the pusher plate upon confirmation of a vend transaction, and a bill return chute for deposit of the bill upon cancellation of the vend transaction. The bill escrow chamber has a first bill receiving area for receiving the bill in a vertical orientation, a wing stop member having an opening therethrough sized to allow passage of the bill pusher plate, yet smaller in width than the width of the bill, a pair of wings pivotally biased against the wing stop member, the wings laterally spaced apart a distance slightly less than a width of the bill pusher plate such that movement of the plate against the wings will cause the wings to pivot and move away from the wing stop member, a second bill receiving area defined between the wing stop member and the wings, and a bill drive mechanism for engaging and driving the bill from the second bill receiving area to the bill return chute.
