Receipting and dispensing banknote module for equipments of automatic deposit and withdrawl of banknotes

An equipment for the automatic deposit and withdrawal of banknotes comprising a series of banknote receipting and dispensing boxes, a store safe with a door safe, a series of housings for said boxes arranged overlapped in said safe and a store transport mechanism for the banknotes with substantially vertical path adjacent to the door safe and actuatable for the moving of the banknotes with respect to said housings;

• said equipment using at least one double receipting and dispensing box which stores, in an single banknote seat, banknotes of different typology with subdivision on a first stack and a second stack arranged one behind the other;
• said double receipting and dispensing box is horizontal in the use, defines a front and a back and locates internally the banknote seat, a reference insertion and extraction device and another insertion and extraction device for the insertion and the extraction of the banknotes with respect to the first stack and the second stack, a first pressing element and a second pressing element, and actuating means for said first pressing element and said second pressing element;
• wherein said single banknote seat is of lengthened substantially parallelepiped shape with a first terminal section and a second terminal section close, respectively, to the front and the back of the box and a common space between the first terminal section and the second terminal section and in which the first stack and the second stack have each one possibly of use of the common section;
• wherein said first terminal section and said second terminal section locate, respectively, the reference insertion and extraction device and the other insertion and extraction device, while the two pressing elements are arranged in the common space;
• and
• wherein the banknotes are arranged in vertical one behind the other along a common horizontal stacking direction on the first stack and the second stack from the first terminal section and the second terminal section to the pressing elements and support on a longer edge of the banknotes and such that the extension of the common space depends on the extensions of the first stack and the second stack, said double receipting and dispensing box further comprising:
• an input-output passage, close to said front of the box, for making the banknotes to transit from the transport mechanisms to the first stack and the second stack and from the first stack and the second stack to the transport mechanisms;
• a diverting member arranged internally to said box downwardly from the input-output passage close to said first terminal section and actuatable between a direct configuration and an alternative configuration;
• and
• guiding and moving elements for guiding and moving the banknotes between the diverting member and the other insertion and extraction device;
• said diverting member being provided for causing the banknotes to transit between the input-output passage and the reference insertion and extraction devices in said direct configuration and to transit between the input-output passage and the other insertion and extraction device in the alternative configuration;
• and
• said first pressing element and said second pressing element being provided for cooperating with a respective end of the first stack and the second stack and being moved by said actuating means for pushing, in independent way, a beginning of the first stack towards the first terminal section and a beginning of the second stack towards the second terminal section, along the stacking direction, against the reference insertion and extraction device and, respectively, against the other insertion and extraction device.
