Automatic machine for the deposit and withdrawal of cash

Automatic machine for deposit and withdrawal of cash, in combination with a recycling store, comprising an input port for a bundle of banknotes, a separating device for the bundle of banknotes, a validation device for banknotes separated from the bundle, an input/output opening of communication with the recycling store, an output port, reject/unfit port for receiving and accumulating rejected/unfitted banknotes, a switching station and a moving mechanism actuatable for transporting the banknotes from the input port, through the validation device, to the input/output opening, the reject/unfit port, and the output port and from the input/output opening to the output port, and the input port, the reject/unfit port and the output port are open on top to allow access, wherein:

• the input port, the reject/unfit port, the output port and the input/output opening are arranged in succession along a longitudinal direction of the machine, while the validation device, in a plan view, is at a side of the input port;
• the output port and the reject/unfit port are provided for forming bundles of banknotes having a substantially vertical arrangement and supported on a side of a longer dimension of the banknotes, and
• the banknotes of the input port are separated and passed through the separating device by shifting along the longer dimension, and wherein
• the moving mechanism includes a longitudinal transport group, a transversal transport group, and a switch group on the switching station;
• the longitudinal transport group is actuatable for moving the banknotes, along the longer dimension, from the input port, through the validation device, to the switching station and from the switching station to the reject/unfit port;
• the transversal transport group is pre-set and actuatable for moving the banknotes, along a narrow dimension of the banknotes, from the switching station to the input/output opening and the output port and from the input/output opening to the switching station and the output port;
• and
• the switch group is pre-set for deviating the banknotes between a path along the longer dimension and a path along the narrow dimension.
