Estimating the term…
A banknote accumulator receives banknotes on a winding drum interior to a housing through a banknote slot. The housing has a number of unique features including its exterior shape. The accumulator is essentially passive as the operation thereof is controlled by an exterior system but it includes various senses and signal processing to provide information to adjust the operation of the accumulator. In a preferred aspect of the invention, the housing includes transparent panels that allow visual inspection of the interior of the housing. A hinged panel is movable between a closed operative position and an open service position and is held in the closed operative position by a latch.
A banknote accumulator comprising a housing having a banknote slot through which banknotes are received, a winding drum within said housing and rotatably drivable for winding of banknotes thereon, guide tapes attached to said winding drum and forming a transition for guiding a banknote onto or off of said winding drum and through said banknote slot, a drive arrangement for rotatably driving said winding drum in a banknote receiving direction to wind a banknote and said tapes about said winding drum and rotatably driving said winding drum in a banknote dispensing direction to dispense a last received banknote on said winding drum with said tapes guiding said last received banknote from the winding drum through said banknote slot, said drive arrangement additional driving said guide tapes to accumulate said guide tapes as the tapes are unwound from said winding drum during dispensing of the last to be received banknote, and wherein said housing has at least one transparent observation panel sized to allow visual inspection of said winding drum and said guide tapes through said housing.
