Description

SYSTEM FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF MONEY THAT HAS MULTIPLE OUTPUT RECEPTACLES FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates, in general, to the field of systems for handling money and, more particularly, to a system for handling money, of multiple bags, for discriminating, authenticating and / or counting money bills.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A variety of techniques and apparatus have been used to meet the requirements of automated money management machines. As companies and banks grow, these companies are experiencing a greater volume of paper money. These companies continually require not only that their money be processed more quickly, but also be processed with more options, in a less expensive way. With the greatest sophistication in this area of technology are machines that are able to identify, discriminate, and count, quickly, multiple denominations of money, and then supply the classified money tickets, to a multitude of exit compartments.

Many of these high-tech machines are extremely large and expensive, so that they are commonly found only in large institutions. These machines are not easily available in companies that have limited budgets from the point of view of money and space, but they need to process large volumes of money. Other machines for money management, high technology, require their own controlled environment, which can impose even greater difficulties for companies that have limited money and space budgets. Money management machines typically employ magnetic detection and optical detection, for the naming and authentication of money bills. The results of these processes determine to which output compartment a particular ticket is delivered, in a money handling device having multiple output receptacles. For example, denominations of $ 10 can be provided to an exit compartment, and denominations of $ 20 to another, while bills that fail to pass the authentication test are supplied to a third exit compartment. Unfortunately, many prior art devices have only one outlet compartment, which can appropriately be called a bag. rejections. Therefore, in such cases, the reject bag may have to accommodate those bills that fail to pass the naming test, or the authentication test. As a result, different types of "rejection" tickets are stacked on top of each other, in the same exit compartment, leaving the operator without knowing which banknotes failed which tests. Many devices for handling large volumes of money of the prior art, which positively transport the money notes through the device, are liable to clog. And many of these machines are difficult to unclog because the operator must physically withdraw the ticket from the device. If necessary, the operator can often manipulate a manual crank to manually shake the device in order to remove the bills. Then, the operator must manually turn the handle to clear all the bills inside the system, before the batch can be reprocessed. Further aggravating the problem in a clogging situation is the fact that many of the devices of the prior art are not equipped to detect the presence of a clogging. In that situation the device continues to work until the bills accumulate and the binding is so severe that the device is forced to stop physically This situation can cause physical damage to both the machine and the bills. Often, a ticket jamming ruins the integrity of the counting and / or valuation of the money bills, requiring that the entire lot, including those bills already processed and that are heading towards the areas of retention and / or storage, have to be returned to process. The bills need to be reprocessed because the prior art devices do not maintain several accumulated totals of the bills, as the tickets pass through various points within the device. The withdrawal of the tickets from the retention areas and / or the storage areas is a delayed process. For example, a prior art device can count only bills when they are transported through an evaluation region of the money handling machine. Tickets leaving the evaluation region are included in the totals regardless of whether they are involved in bill jams or if they are transported successfully to an exit receptacle. Therefore, when a bill jam occurs, the bills involved in the jamming of bills, as well as the bills already transported to the holding areas and / or storage areas, have to be re-processed.

The weight is again an advantage of the money handling machines of large volume of the prior art. In part, the weight of these machines is due to the heavy machinery used. For example, some machines contain large cast iron rails on which devices move to push the money bills down and into the storage compartments. Unfortunately, the heavy weight of these machines often results in higher costs associated with the machine. Another disadvantage for some money management devices, of the prior art, is the way in which tickets are fed into the device. Many prior art devices have only one advance mechanism, so that the operator of the device can process only one stack of bills at a time before reloading the machine. Alternatively, the operator can try to simultaneously manipulate the pile of bills currently being processed, a new stack of bills, and the feeding mechanism. Typically, in the handling of loose money, after the money bills have been analyzed, named, authenticated, counted and / or processed in some other way, the bills are bundled. The bundling of bills is a process by which a stack of a specific number of bills, of a single denomination, are insured with a strip of paper. For example, one dollar bills are segregated into stacks of one hundred $ 1 bills and then joined with a strip of paper. The bundling facilitates the handling of money by allowing stacks of bundled bills to be counted instead of counting individual money bills. Traditionally the money notes of the United States of America are bundled in stacks of one hundred bills. The task of bundling bills can increase the time required to process a certain batch of money. Some machines for money management are able to segregate money bills into individual denominations, then the operator must manually count the bills in smaller lots for bundling purposes. In other situations, a money handling device may suspend operation after a predetermined number of bills, of a given denomination, has been supplied to an outlet receptacle, at which time the operator may remove those bills from the receptacle. of exit and join the bills with a strip of paper. However, this bundling can increase the time required to process a batch of money bills. Money processing machines, high-tech, are capable of rolling bills. However, there is a higher cost associated with these high-end machines technology. During the lifetime of the money management devices of the prior art, it is very likely that the individual components of the devices, including specific components of the output receptacles, will degrade and eventually fail. Failure of specific individual components of an output receptacle may cause the output receptacle to fail. The inoperability of one of the output receptacles of the money management devices of the prior art can cause the entire device not to function, regardless of whether the remaining output receptacles are functioning properly. Failures of the components that result in inoperability throughout the device can have a devastating effect on the cash handling operations performed by the users of those devices. The inventors of the present invention have discovered that money management devices play a vital role in the total operation of a cashier, including cash machines in banks or casinos. The inventors estimate that more than 90% (ninety percent) of the cash handled in an ATM is processed by a money management device. Therefore, the failure of a money management device can have a disastrous effect on the operation of a cashier or other operations that are based on the operation of the device for money management.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ILLUSTRATED MODALITIES Referring to Figs. 1a and 1b, a multi-bag document processing device 100, such as a money handling device, is illustrated., in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. The money bills are fed, one by one, from a stack of money bills placed in an input receptacle 102 to a transport mechanism 104. The transport mechanism 104 guides the money bills towards one of a plurality of receptacles of money. outlet 106a-106h, which may include upper outlet receptacles 106a, 106b, as well as lower outlet receptacles 106c-106h. Before reaching the outlet receptacle 106, the transport mechanism 104 guides the bill through an evaluation region 108 where the bill can be, for example, analyzed, authenticated, named, counted, and / or processed from some other way. In alternative embodiments of the money handling device 100 of the present invention, the evaluation region 108 may determine the orientation of the bill, the size of the bill, or whether the bills are stacked on top of each other.

The results of the above process (s) can be used to determine to which outlet outlet 106 a ticket is directed. The illustrated modality of the money management device has a total width, x, of approximately 1.38 meters (4.52 feet), a height, H1? of approximately 1.45 meters (4.75 feet), and a depth, Ol t of approximately 0.50 meters (1.67 feet). In one embodiment, documents such as money tickets are transported, scanned, named, authenticated and / or processed in some other way, at a rate equal to or greater than 600 bills per minute. In another embodiment, documents such as money tickets are transported, scanned, named, authenticated, and / or processed in some other way, at a rate equal to or greater than 800 bills per minute. In another embodiment, documents such as money tickets are transported, explored, named, authenticated and / or processed in some other way, at a rate equal to or greater than 1000 notes per minute. In yet another embodiment, documents such as money tickets are transported, explored, named, authenticated, and / or processed in some other way, at a rate equal to or greater than 1200 bills per minute. In the illustrated modality, interposed in mechanism 104 for the transport of notes, between the region 108 for evaluating banknotes, and the lower outlet receptacles 106c-106h, there is a mechanism for orienting the faces of the bills, designated generally with the reference number 110. The mechanism for orienting the faces of the bills is capable of rotating a bill 180 * in such a way that the position of the bill face is reversed. That is, if a ticket from the United States of North America, for example, is initially presented with a surface that carries a portrait of a president, face down, it can be directed towards the mechanism 110 for the orientation of the faces of the bills, in where it will be rotated 180 'in such a way that the surface that carries the portrait faces up. The leading edge of the bill remains constant as the bill is rotated 180"by the mechanism 110 for orientation of the bill face.The decision to send a bill to the mechanism 110 for the orientation of the face of a bill can be made, when the selected mode of operation or other instructions of the operator require maintaining a certain position of the face of the bills, as they are processed by the money handling device 100. For example, it may be desired, in certain circumstances, that all the bills supplied at the end, to the lower outlet receptacles 106c-106h have the surface of the bill, which bears the portrait of the president, oriented face up. In these modalities of the money handling device 100, the bill evaluation region 108 is able to determine the position of the face of a bill, such that a bill not having the desired position of the bill can be addressed. first towards the face orientation mechanism 110, before being supplied to the appropriate outlet receptacle 106. Additional details of a face orientation mechanism, which can be used for this purpose, are described in the United States Patent of North America No. 6,074,334, entitled "Method and Apparatus for Orientation of the Faces of a Document", incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, which may be employed in conjunction with the present invention, such as the device illustrated in Figures la and lb. Other alternative embodiments of the device 100 for money management do not include the mechanism 110 for facing the faces. The money management device 100, in Figure la, can be controlled from a separate controller or control unit 120 having a user screen / interface 122, which can incorporate a touch panel screen, in a mode of the present invention, which displays information such as including "functional" keys when appropriate. The screen / interface 122 of the user, can be a total graphics screen.

Alternatively, additional physical keys or buttons may be used, such as a keypad 124. The control unit 120 may be a stand-alone desktop or laptop computer that communicates with the money handling device 100, through a cable 125 The money management device 100 may have an appropriate communications port (not shown) for this purpose. In embodiments in which the control unit 120 is a desktop computer, wherein the user's screen / interface 122, and the desktop computer are physically separable, the desktop computer may be stored within a compartment 126 of the device 100 for the handling of money. In other alternative embodiments, the control unit 120 is integrated into the money management device 100, such that the control unit 120 is contained within the device 100. The operator can control the operation of the device 100 for handling of money, through the control unit 120. Through the control unit 120 the operator can direct the bills to specific output receptacles 106a-106h by selecting several user-defined modes. In alternative modes, the operator can select previously defined user-defined modes, or can create new modes defined by the user, based on the particular requirements of the user. the application. For example, the operator can select a mode defined by the user, which gives orders to the device 100 for the handling of money, so that it classifies banknotes by denomination; therefore, the evaluation region 108 would denominate the bills and send the one dollar bills to the first lower outlet receptacle 106c, the five dollar bills to the second lower exit receptacle 106d, the ten dollar bills to the third receptacle lower exit 106e, twenty dollar bills toward the fourth lower exit receptacle 106f, fifty dollar bills toward the fifth lower exit receptacle 106g, and one hundred dollar bills towards the sixth lower exit receptacle 106h. The operator can also give orders to the device 100 for handling money, so that it supplies the notes whose denomination was not determined, unidentified notes, to the first upper exit receptacle 106a. In that embodiment, the upper outlet 106a would function as a rejection bag. In an alternative mode, the operator can instruct the device 100 for handling money, so that it also evaluates the authenticity of each bill. In that embodiment, the authentic bills would be sent to the lower outlet receptacle, appropriate 106c-106h. The notes that were determined to be non-authentic, suspect bills, would be supplied to a second upper outlet receptacle 106b. A multitude of user-defined modes are described in PCT publication No. WO 99/09511 entitled "Multi-Bag Money Discriminator" which was filed on August 21, 1997, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, which may be employed in conjunction with the present invention, such as the device illustrated in Figures la and lb. According to one embodiment, the money management device 100 is designed in such a way that when the evaluation region 108 is unable to identify certain criteria regarding a ticket, the unidentified note is marked and "presented" in one. of the outlet receptacles 106a-160h, ie, the transport mechanism 104 is stopped, such that the unidentified note is located at a predetermined position within one of the outlet receptacles 106a-106h, as the last bill transported to one of the output receptacles. These criteria may include denomination information, authentication information, ticket series indicating information, or other information that the evaluation region 108 attempts to obtain according to a mode of operation. In which of the output receptacles 106a-106h the marked bill is presented, it can be determined by the user in accordance with a mode of selected operation. For example, where the unidentified note is the last note transported to an outlet receptacle 106a-106h, it can be placed inside a stacker wheel or placed on top of the notes already inside the outlet receptacle. 106a-106h. Although unidentified bills can be transported to any of the outlet receptacles 106a-106h, it may be more convenient for the operator that unidentified bills be transported to one of the upper outlet receptacles 106a, b where the operator is able to see and / or easily inspect the ticket that has not been identified by the devaluation region 108. The operator can then either visually inspect the marked bill while it rests on the top of the stack, or alternatively, the The operator may decide to withdraw the ticket from the exit receptacle 106 in order to examine the marked ticket, more closely. In an alternative embodiment of the money management device 100, the device 100 can communicate to the user, through the user's screen / interface 122, in which of the output receptacles 106a-106h a marked bill is presented. The money management device 100 may be designed to continue operation automatically when a marked banknote is removed from the upper exit receptacle 106a, b or b, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the device 100 may be designed to suspend operation and require data entry by the user, through of the control unit 120. When the operator examines a marked bill, it may be discovered that the marked bill is genuine, even if it has not been identified as such by the evaluation region 108 or even when the evaluation may have been unable to name the bill. marked ticket. However, because the ticket was not identified, the counters of the total value and / or denomination, will not reflect its value. In accordance with one embodiment, that unidentified note is removed from the exit receptacles 106 and reprocessed or set aside. According to another embodiment, the marked banknotes can be accumulated in the upper outlet receptacles 106a, b until the batch of money bills being processed at that moment are finished or until the outlet receptacle 106a, b is full and then they are reprocessed or put aside. According to another embodiment, when a ticket is marked, the transport mechanism can be stopped before the marked bill is transported to one of the exit receptacles. This modality is particularly convenient for situations in which the operator does not need to examine the ticket that is marked; for example, the money management device 100 is instructed to first process money from the United States of America and then British money, according to a selected mode of operation, wherein the money management device 100 is used. processes US $ 1, $ 5, $ 10, $ 20, $ 50, and $ 100 money notes to the lower exit receptacles 106c-106h, respectively. Upon detecting the first British pounds note, the money handling device 100 can stop the operation, allowing the operator to empty the lower output receptacles 106c-106h and make the necessary spatial adjustments to accommodate the British currency. A multitude of modes of operation are described in conjunction with the marking, presentation, and / or stopping of transportation, of banknotes, in PCT WO 97/45810 entitled "Method and Apparatus for Processing Documents", incorporated herein by reference in its entirety above, which may be employed in conjunction with the present invention, such as the device illustrated in Figures la and Ib. In the illustrated embodiment, with respect to the upper outlet receptacles 106a, 106b, the second upper outlet receptacle 106b is provided with a stacker wheel 127 for accumulating a number of bills. while the first upper outlet receptacle 106a is not provided with that stacker wheel. In this way, when according to a previously programmed mode of operation or a mode selected by the operator, or other instructions of the operator, a bill is to be fed to the first top outlet socket 106a, there may be an additional instruction to temporarily suspend operation of the device 100 for handling bills, for the operator to inspect and remove the ticket. On the other hand it may be possible to allow a small number of bills to accumulate in the first upper outlet receptacle 106a before suspending operation. Similarly, the second upper outlet receptacle 106b may initially be used as an additional receptacle of the lower exit receptacles 106c-106h. However, there is no storage cartridge associated with the second upper output receptacle 106b. Therefore, when the second upper outlet receptacle 106b is full, operation can be suspended to remove the bills at that time since still additional bills are being sent to the second upper exit receptacle 106b according to the operating mode selected or in accordance with other instructions of the operator. In an alternative embodiment of the money management device 100, the first and the second receptacles upper outlet 106a, 106b are equipped with a stacker wheel. In that embodiment both upper outlet receptacles 106a, b can also function as the lower outlet receptacle 106c-106h allowing a number of bills to be stacked therein. Figures 2a and 2b illustrate the evaluation region 108 in accordance with a system modality 100 for money management. The evaluation region can be opened to provide service, to gain access to the sensors, to eliminate bill jams, etc., as shown in Figure 2a. The characteristics of the evaluation region 108 may vary according to the particular application and the needs of the user. The evaluation region 108 can accommodate a number and variety of different types of sensors, depending on a number of variables. These variables are related to the fact that if the machine is authenticating, counting, or discriminating denominations, and depending on what distinguishing features are being examined, for example the size, thickness, color, magnetism, reflectivity, absorption capacity, transmissivity, electrical conductivity, etc. The evaluation region 108 may employ a variety of detection means, including, but not limited to, a density and size detection sensor 408, lower optical scanning head 410 and upper 412, one or a plurality of magnetic sensors 414, a filament sensor 416, and a ultraviolet / fluorescent light scanning head 418. These means of detection and a number of others are described in PCT WO99 / 09511 entitled "Multi-Bag Money Discriminator", incorporated by reference above. The travel direction of the ticket, through the evaluation region 108, is indicated by arrow A. The bills are positively conducted along a transport plate 400 through the evaluation region 108 by a set of rollers. transporters comprising both drive rollers 402 and passive rollers 404. The rollers 402 are driven by a motor (not shown) through a band 401. The passive rollers 404 are mounted in such a way that they turn freely about their axis respective and are deflected in a counter rotation contact, with the corresponding drive rollers 402. The drive and passive rollers 402, 404 are mounted in such a manner that they are substantially coplanar with the transport plate 400. The transport roller assembly also includes 406 compressible rollers to help keep the bills flat against the transport plate 400. Keeping the b illete in a flat position against the plate transport 400, in such a way that the bill is placed in a flat shape when transported through the sensors, improves the overall reliability of the evaluation processes. A similar transport arrangement is written in the United States Patent, Common Property, No. 5,687,963 entitled "Method and Apparatus for Discriminating and Counting Documents", which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Referring now to Figures 3a-3d, the input receptacle 102 of the money management device 100 is illustrated. A feed mechanism such as a pair of take-off wheels 140 helps to feed the bills successively to the transport mechanism 104 which first carries the notes through the devaluation region 108. According to one embodiment, the input receptacle 102 includes at least one feeder blade 142a with spring tension, which is pivotally mounted, allowing it to rotate upwards and stretch to the back of a stack of bills placed in the input receptacle 102 in order to divert the notes to the region devaluation 108 through the pair of draw wheels 140. The paddle 142a is coupled to a feed mechanism 144 for pushing the paddle 142a towards the draw wheels 140. In the illustrated embodiment, the movement is imparted to the feed mechanism, through a spring 145. In other alternative embodiments, the advance mechanism 144 is driven by motor. The feed mechanism 144 is slidably mounted to an axis 146. The feed mechanism 144 also restricts the paddle 142a to a linear path. The advancement mechanism 144 may contain a liner bearing (not shown) which allows the vane 142a to slide easily along the axis 146. In the illustrated embodiment, the vane 142a may also contain channels 148 to help restrict the blade 142a to a linear path, along a pair of rails 150. Paddle 142a may additionally include a roller 152 to facilitate paddle movement 142a. In the embodiment illustrated in Figures 3a-3d, a second pallet 142b is provided in such a way that a second bank of notes 147 can be placed in the input receptacle 102 behind a first group of notes 149, while the first group of banknotes 149 are fed to the device 100 for handling money. In this way, the two feeding pallets 142a and 142b can be alternated during processing, in order to allow multiple stacks of money bills to be loaded into the input receptacle 102. In that embodiment, the operator would retract the pallet 142a and place a stack of banknotes inside the input receptacle. Once inside of the entry receptacle, the operator would place the vane 142a against the stack of bills in such a manner that the vane 142a would divert the stack of notes towards the pair of extractor wheels 140. The operator could then charge a second stack of notes to the input receptacle. 102 retracting the second pallet 142b and placing a stack of banknotes in the entrance receptacle between the pallets 142a and 142b. The second vane 142b pushes the second stack of bills up and against the back of the first vane 142a. The operator can then turn the first blade 142a upwards, thus combining the two cells. The first blade 142a is then retracted towards the rear of the input receptacle and the process can be repeated. The input receptacle with two vanes allows the operator to continuously feed, easier, stacks of notes to the device 100 for money management. In devices that do not have two feeder pallets, the operator is forced to manipulate in a complicated manner the two stacks of bills and the advance mechanism. Alternatively, the operator can expect the stack of bills to be processed out of the input receptacle, to add another stack; however, waiting to recharge until each stack is processed increases the total time to process a certain amount of money.

Referring to Figure 4, a portion of the transport mechanism 104 and deviators 130a-130d are illustrated. A substantial portion of the transport path of the money handling device 100 positively secures the bills during transport from the pair of extractor wheels 140 through the point where the bills are delivered to the upper exit receptacle 106a or where they are supplied to the stacking wheels 202 of the output receptacles 106b-106h. The positively clamped transport path of the money handling device 100 is less costly and of less weight than the empty transport arrangements of the above money processing devices. The transport mechanism 104 is electronically geared causing all sections to move in a synchronized fashion from the devaluation region 108 through the point where the bills are delivered to the output receptacles 106. Multiple small motors are used to drive the mechanism Transportation 104. The use of multiple small, less expensive engines is more efficient and less expensive than a single large engine. In addition, less space is consumed allowing the money management device 100 to be more compact. The electronically gearing of the transport mechanism 104 allows a single encoder to be used to monitor transport of tickets within the system 100 for money management. The encoder is connected to the mechanism 100 for transporting notes, and provides input data to a processor, to determine the synchronization of the operations of the device 100 for money management. In this way, the processor is able to monitor the precise location of the tickets as they are transported through the device 100 for money management. This process is called "Flow control". The additional sensor input data 119 located along the transport mechanism 104 of the money management device 100 allows the processor to continually update the position of a bill within the device 100 to adjust to the slippage of the bills. When a banknote leaves the evaluation region 108 the processor expects the bill to reach the diverter 130a corresponding to the first lower exit receptacle 106c after a precise number of counts of the encoder. Specifically, the processor expects the bill to flow through each sensor 119 placed along the transport mechanism 104 in a precise number of counts of the encoder. If the bill slips during transport, but passes through a sensor 119 after an acceptable number of encoder counts, the processor updates or "re-queues" the new position of the bill. He The processor calculates a new figure for the time when the ticket is expected to pass through the next sensor 119 and arrive at the first diverter 130a. The processor activates one of the deviators 130a-f to direct the bill into the corresponding, appropriate lower outlet receptacle 106c-106h, when the sensor 119 immediately preceding the diverter 130 detects the passage of the bill to be directed to the receptacle. of appropriate lower outlet 106c-h. The money management device 100 also uses flow control to detect jams within the transport mechanism 104 of the device 100. When a bill does not reach a sensor 119 within the calculated number of counts of the encoder plus the maximum number of counts permissible for a slip, the processor suspends the operation of the device 100 and informs the operator through the user's screen / interface 122, that a jam has occurred. The processor also notifies the operator, through the user's display / interface 122, of the location of the jam, indicating the last sensor 119 through which the ticket passed, and in general the approximate location of the jam in the system. If the operator can not easily remove the ticket without damage, the operator can then electronically push the transport path in the forward or reverse direction, through the control unit 120, in such a way that that the jammed ticket is vacated and the operator can easily remove the ticket from the transport path. The operator can then blow the system, causing the transport mechanism 104 to supply all the bills that are currently in the transport path of the money management device 100, to one of the output receptacles 106. In an alternative modality, the user of the money management device 100 would have the option, when the system is emptied, to first have the tickets that are already within the deposit regions 116a-116f that are going to be supplied to the cartridges storage, respectively, 106c-106h so that these notes can be included in the value-added data for the bills that are processed. The notes remaining in the transport path 104 would then be supplied to a predetermined deposit region 116 where those notes could be removed and reprocessed, placing those notes in the output receptacle 102. The use of the flow control to detect jams , it is more desirable than the money evaluation machines of the prior art, which do not detect a jam until a sensor is actually physically blocked. The last jam detection method allows the bills to accumulate while waiting for a sensor will become blocked. Banknote accumulation is problematic because it can physically stop the machine before the jam is detected, and can cause physical damage to the banknotes and the machine. In order to remedy a jam in a prior art machine, the operator must manually clear the jammed notes first. The operator must then manually turn a manual crank that advances the transport path until all the bills within the transport path are removed. In addition, because the prior art devices allow multiple bills to accumulate before a jam is detected, the integrity of the process is often affected. In that case, the entire stack of bills must be reprocessed. Referring again to Figure la, the illustrated embodiment of the money management device 100 includes a total of six lower output receptacles 106c-106h. More specifically, each of the lower outlet receptacles 106c-106h includes a first portion designated as a reservoir compartment 116a-116f, and a second portion designated as a storage cartridge 118a-118f. Typically the notes are initially directed to the deposit compartments 116, and subsequently, at specific times, or with the occurrence of specified events, which can be selected or that can be programmed by an operator, the tickets are then stored to the storage cartridges 118. The storage cartridges can be removed and replaced, so that the stacks of bills that add a certain number The predetermined banknotes or a predetermined monetary value can be accumulated in a given storage cartridge 118, whereby the cartridge can be removed and replaced by an empty storage cartridge. In the illustrated embodiment, the number of lower output receptacles 106c-106h, including the storage compartments 116 and the storage cartridges 118 add up to a number of six. In alternative embodiments, the money management device 100 may contain more or less than 6 lower exit receptacles, including storage compartments and storage cartridges 118. In other alternative embodiments, modular, lower exit receptacles 106 may be implemented, to add many more lower output receptacles, to the 100 system for money management. Each modular unit may comprise two lower output receptacles. In other alternative modalities, several modular units can be added at the same time, to the device 100 for handling money. A series of deviators 130a-130f, which are a part of the transport mechanism 104, directs the bills towards one of the lower outlet receptacles 106c-106h. When the deviators 130 are in an upper position, the bills are directed towards the adjacent lower outlet receptacle 106. When the deviators 130 are in a lower position, the bills proceed in the direction of the next diverter 130. The vertical arrangement of the receptacles lower outlet 106c-106h is illustrated in Figure 5. The storage compartment 116 is positioned above the storage cartridge 118. In addition to the storage compartment 116 and the storage cartridge 118, each of the lower outlet receptacles 106c -106h contains a piston assembly 300. The piston assembly 300 is shown during its descent to the storage cartridge 118. Referring now to Figures 6 and 7, one of the reservoir compartments 116 of the outlet receptacles is shown. lower 106c-106h. The storage compartment 116 contains a stacker wheel 202 for receiving the bills 204 from the derailleur 130. The stacking wheel 202 stacks the bills 204 within the walls 206, 208 of the storage compartment, on top of a gate 210 placed between the storage compartment 116 and the cartridge storage 118. In an alternative embodiment, the storage compartment 116 contains a pair of guides to help align the bills in a substantially direct manner one on top of the other. The gate 210 is composed of two shutters: a first shutter 211 and a second shutter 212. The shutters 211, 212 are hingedly connected, allowing the shutters 211, 212 to rotate downward, approximately 90", to move the gate from a first position (closed position) wherein the shutters 211, 212 are substantially coplanar, to a second position (open position) where the shutters 211, 212 are substantially parallel, below the gate 210 is the storage cartridge 118 (not Figure 8 illustrates the placement of pallet 302 when transferring a stack of banknotes, from the storage compartment 116 to the storage cartridge 118. When the pallet descends on top of the bank of banknotes 204 causes the shutters 211, 212 to rotate rapidly in the directions referenced by arrows B and C, respectively, of this way, it opens "with energy" the gate 210. The fast turn of the shutters 211, 212 ensures that the notes fall inside the storage cartridge 118 in a position substantially stacked According to one embodiment, the pallet is programmed to descend after a predetermined number of bills 204 are stacked on top of gate 210. According to other embodiments, the operator can instruct paddle 302, through the unit of control 120, to descend above the bills 204 stacked on the gate 210. Referring now to Figure 9, the piston assembly 300 for selectively transferring the bills 204 from a storage compartment 116 to a corresponding storage cartridge 118 and gate 210, are illustrated in greater detail. One of those piston assemblies 300 is provided for each of the six lower exit receptacles 106c-106h of the money handling device 100. The piston assembly 300 comprises a vane 302, a base 304, and two side arms 306, 308. Each of the shutters 211, 212 comprising the damper 210 extends inwardly from corresponding parallel bars 214, 215. The bars 214 , 215 are mounted to rotate the shutters between the closed position and the open position. The levers 216, 217 are coupled to the parallel bars 214, 215, respectively, to control the rotation of the bars 214, 215 and hence that of the shutters 211, 212. Extension springs 218, 219 (shown in Figure 8). ) tend to maintain the position of levers 216, 217 in both closed and open positions. The shutters 211, 212 have an integral tab arrangement 213a and slot 213b, which prevents some bills that are stacked on the gate 210 from slipping between the shutters 211, 212. The base 304 travels along the vertical axis 311 with which is slidably coupled. The base 304 may include linear bearings (not shown) to facilitate its movement along the vertical axis 311. The piston assembly 300 may also include a vertical guide member 302 (See Figure 11) with which the base 304 is also slidably engaged. The vertical guide member 312 maintains the alignment of the piston assembly 300 preventing the piston assembly 300 from rotating laterally about the vertical axis 311 when the pallet 312 forces the bills 204, stacked in the storage area 116, downwardly and to a storage cartridge 118. Also reference to Figure 10, the vane 302 extends laterally from the base 304. The vane 302 is secured to a support 314 extending from the base 304. A pair of side arms 306, 308 are hingedly connected to the base . Each of the side arms 306, 308 protrude from the sides of the base 304. The rolls 316, 318 are attached to the arms lateral 306, 308, respectively, and roll freely. The springs 313a, 313b are attached to the side arms 306, 308 respectively, to bias the side arms 306, 308 outward from the base 304. In the illustrated embodiment the spring 313a, 313b are compression springs. The pallet 302 contains a first pair of slots 324 to allow the pallet to free the stacker wheel 202 as it descends inwards and ascends outwardly from the cartridge 118. The first pair of slits 324 also allows the pallet 302 to release the first pair of tabs. retainer 350 inside the storage cartridge (see Figure 14). Similarly, the vane 302 contains a second pair of slits 326 to allow the vane 302 to release the second pair of retention tabs 350 within the storage cartridge 118 (see Figure 14). Referring now to Figure 11, which illustrates a rear view of one of the outer outlet receptacles 106c-106h, the piston 300 is driven bidirectionally, by a band 328 coupled to an electric motor 330. A clamp 332 engages the band 328 in a channel 334 that is located in the base 304 of the piston assembly 300. In the embodiment illustrated in Figure 11, two piston assemblies 300 are driven by a single electric motor 330. In one embodiment of the device for the money management, band 328 is a toothed band. In other alternative embodiments, each piston assembly 300 can be driven by a single electric motor 330. In still other alternative embodiments, there may be any combination of engines 330 for the piston assemblies 300. Figures 12 and 13 illustrate the interaction between the side arms 306, 308 and the levers 216, 217 when the vane assembly 300 is descending towards down and ascending by withdrawing from the storage cartridge 118, respectively. Initially, before descending towards the cartridge, the shutters are in a first position (closed) . In the illustrated embodiment, it is the force imparted by the pallet 302 that opens the gate 210 when the pallet descends towards the storage cartridge 118. When the pallet is ascending and withdrawing from the storage cartridge 119, it is the coupled rollers 316, 318 to the side arms 306, 308 which engage the levers 216, 217 that close the gate 210. The levers 216, 217 shown in Figure 12 are placed in the open position. When descending towards the storage cartridge 118, the rollers 316, 318 which contact the levers 216, 217 and the roller about the levers 216, 217 leave the shutters in the open position. The lateral arms 306, 308 are articulated in a way that allows the side arms 306, 308 to rotate inward and toward the base 304 as the rollers 316, 318 engage the levers 216, 217. Figure 13 illustrates the levers in the second position where the gate 210 is closed. When the pallet ascends out of the storage cartridge, the side arms 306, 308 are deflected away from the base 304. The rollers 316, 318 engage the levers 216, 217 causing the levers to rotate upward to the first position, thus closing the gate. Figures 14, 15 and 16 illustrate the components of the storage cartridges 118. The bills 204 are stored within the housing 348 of the cartridge, which has a base 349. Each storage cartridge 118 contains two pairs of retention tabs 350 placed adjacent to each other. to the interior walls 351, 352 of the storage cartridge. The bottom surface 354 of each tab 350 is substantially planar. The tabs 350 are hingedly connected to the storage cartridge 118, allowing the tabs 350 to rotate downwardly from a horizontal position, substantially perpendicular to the inner side walls 351, 352 of the cartridge 118, to a vertical position, substantially parallel with respect to the inner walls 351, 352 of the cartridge 118. The tongues 350 are coupled to springs (not shown) for keep the tabs in the horizontal position. The storage cartridge 118 contains a sliding platform 356 that is deflected upwards. During the operation of the money handling system 100, the platform 356 receives stacks of bills from the storage compartment 116. The floor 356 is attached to a base 358 that is slidably mounted to a vertical support member 360. The base 358 it has spring tension, in such a way that it is deflected upwards and in turn deflects platform 356 upwards. The storage cartridges are designed to be interchangeable, such that once filled, a storage cartridge can be easily removed from the money management device 100, and replaced with an empty storage cartridge 118. In the embodiment illustrated, the storage cartridge 118 is equipped with a handle 357 to remove and / or replace, expeditiously, storage cartridges 118. Also in the illustrated embodiment, storage cartridge 118 has a door 359 that allows an operator to remove tickets of the storage cartridge 118. The storage cartridges 118 are sized to accommodate documents of varying sizes. In the illustrated embodiment, the storage cartridges 118 have a height, H2, of approximately 39 centimeters (15.38 inches), a depth, D2, of approximately 22.9 centimeters (9 inches), and a width, W2, of approximately 14.4 centimeters (5.66 inches). The storage cartridge illustrated in Figure 15 has spacers 362 for securing the interior wall 352 at a fixed distance from the interior wall 353 of the housing 348 of the cartridge. The inner walls 351, 352 assist in the alignment of the bills in a stack within the storage cartridges. The embodiment of the storage cartridge illustrated in Figure 15 is sized to accommodate money documents of the United States of America. To properly accommodate money documents from the United States of America, the interior width of the storage cartridge, W3, is approximately 7.3 centimeters (2.88 inches). Figures 17a and 17b also illustrate one embodiment of the storage cartridge 118 sized to accommodate money documents of the United States of America having a width of about 6.5 centimeters (2.5 inches) and a length of about 15.5 centimeters (about 6 inches) . In alternative embodiments, the length of the dividers 362 may be varied to accommodate documents of varying sizes. For example, the embodiment described in Figure 18a and 18b has an interior width, W3 of approximately 10.46 centimeters (4.12 inches) and is sized to accommodate the largest international money, the note of 500 French francs, which has a width of approximately 9.7 centimeters (3.82 inches) and a length of approximately 18.2 centimeters (7.17 inches). In order to accommodate the large documents and increase the internal width, W3, of the storage cartridge 118, the lengths of the separators 362, illustrated in Figure 16b, are shortened. Starting with Figure 7 the operation of one of the lower outlet receptacles 106c-106h will be described. According to one mode of operation, the bills 204 are directed by one of the deviators 130 to the reservoir compartment 116 of the lower outlet receptacle. The stacker wheel 202 within the storage compartment 116 receives the bills 204 from the derailleur 130. The stacker wheel 202 stacks the bills 204 on top of the gate 210. According to a previously programmed mode of operation, once a number The predetermined banknotes 204 are stacked in the storage compartment 116, the control unit 120 instructs the money handling device 100 to suspend the processing of money bills and the pallet 302 then descends from its starting position above. of the storage compartment 116 to transfer the notes 204 to the storage cartridge 118. Once that the banknotes 204 have been deposited in the storage cartridge 118, the money handling device resumes operation until a storage compartment is full or until all the bills inside the input receptacle 102 have been processed. Referring now to Figures 8 and 9, the piston assembly 300 travels down, placing the vane 302 over the bill stack 204. Upon contacting the notes 204 the vane 302 continues to travel downward. As paddle 302 continues its descent paddle 302 forces gate 210 to open with energy. The paddle 302 imparts a force to the bills 204 which is transferred to the shutters 211, 212 causing the shutters 211, 212 to rotate from the closed position to the open position. The rotation of the shutters 211, 212 are indicated by the arrows B and C respectively. Once the paddle 302 imparts the force necessary to rotate the levers 216, 217, the extension springs 218, 219 rapidly rotate the shutters 211, 212 downwardly, thereby opening the gate 210"with power". The downward rotation of the shutters 211, 212 causes each of the corresponding parallel bars 214, 215 to rotate, which in turn rotate the levers 216, 217. The extension springs 218, 219 hold the shutters 211, 212 in the open position, allowing the pallet 302 descends inside the storage cartridge 118. The hingedly connected side arms 306, 308 retract as the rollers 316, 318 rotate around the levers 216, 217 while the piston assembly 300 is traveling downwardly within the cartridge 118. Referring now to Figure 15, once the gate 210 is open, the bills 204 fall a short distance on the platform 356 of the storage cartridge 118 or on a stack of bills 204 already deposited on the platform 356. paddle 302 continues its downward movement towards storage cartridge 118 to ensure that bills 204 are transferred to cartridge 118. Initially some bills 204 may be separated from pallet 356 or other bills 204 that are contained within the storage cartridge, by retaining tabs 350. As the piston assembly 300 continues to descend downwardly into the c artucho, paddle 302 continues to push bill stack 204 downward, causing retainer tabs 350 to rotate downward. The banknotes 204 are pushed past the retention tabs 350 and onto the platform 356. Once the piston assembly 300 has descended into the cartridge 118 a sufficient distance for the pallet 302 to release the retention tabs 350. by allowing the retaining tabs 350 to rotate upwardly, the piston assembly begins to rise outwardly from the storage cartridge 118. The platform 356 pushes the bills 204 up and against the underside of the pallet 302. The pallet 302 is equipped with two pairs of slits 324, 326 (Figure 9) to allow the vane to release the pairs of retention tabs 350. When the vane 302 ascends beyond the pairs of retention tabs 350, the notes 204 are pressed against the surfaces bottoms 354 of the pairs of retention tabs 350 by platform 356. Referring now to Figure 13, when piston assembly 300 is traveling up and out of cartridge 118, rollers 316, 318 on side arms 306 , 308 engage the respective levers 216, 217 and move the respective levers 216, 217 from the second (open) position to the first (closed) position p to move the gate 210 from the open position to the closed position, as the pallet 302 ascends towards the storage compartment 116 after depositing the bills 204 in the storage cartridge 118. The pallet 302 is mounted on the base 304 by above the rollers 316, 318 on the side arms 306, 308, such that the blade 302 releases the gate 210 before the gate 210 is moved to the closed position. In alternative arrangements of the money handling device 100, the output receptacles 106 may be dimensioned to accommodate documents of varying sizes, such as various international currencies, stock certificates, stamps, store coupons, etc. Specifically, to accommodate documents of different widths, the width of the storage compartment 116, of the gate 210, and of the storage cartridge 118 would need to be increased or reduced as appropriate. The document evaluation device 100 is sized to accommodate storage cartridges 118 and gates 210 of different widths. The complete transport mechanism 104 of the money management device 100 is sized to accommodate the largest international money bills. Accordingly, the document handling device 100 can be used to process money or documents of varying sizes. In several alternative modalities, the money management device 100 is sized to process a stack of money of different sizes, at the same time. For example, an application may require the processing of United States dollars (6.5 centimeters x 15.5 centimeters (2.5 inches x 6 inches)) and French currency (as long as 18.2 centimeters x 9.7 centimeters (7.17 inches by 3.82 inches)). The application may simply require the segregation of money from the United States of America and French money, where the money management device 100 supplies money from the United States of America, to the first indoor exit receptacle 106c and money French to the second outlet 106d. In another alternative mode, the money management device 100 processes a mixed stack of ten and twenty dollar bills of the United States of America and notes of one hundred and two hundred French francs, wherein the money documents are denominated, counted and authenticated. In this alternative mode, ten and twenty dollar notes of the United States of America are supplied to the first 106c and to the second 106d lower exit receptacles, respectively, and the notes of one hundred and two hundred French francs are supplied to the third 106e and fourth 106f lower outlet receptacles, respectively. In other alternative modalities, the device 100 for handling money, denominates, counts and authenticates, six different types of money, where, for example, the Canadian money is supplied to the first receptacle of inferior salia 106c, the money of the United States. from North America is supplied to second outlet receptacle 106d, Japanese money is supplied to the third lower exit receptacle 106e, British money is supplied to the fourth lower exit receptacle 106f, French money is supplied to the fifth lower exit receptacle 106g, and German money is supplies the sixth lower outlet receptacle 106h. In another embodiment, unidentified bills or other denominations of money, such as for example Mexican money, may be sent to the second upper exit receptacle 106b. In another embodiment, suspect bills are delivered to the first top outlet 106a. In other alternative embodiments of the money handling device 100, the user may vary the type of documents supplied to the output receptacles 106. For example, in an alternative mode, an operator may give instructions, through the control unit 120, that a stack of bills of one, five, ten, twenty, fifty and one hundred United States dollars are denominated, counted, authenticated, and sent to the lower exit receptacles 106c-106h, respectively. In yet another alternative mode, the money handling device 100 is also instructed to supply other bills, such as a two-dollar bill from the United States of America, or money documents from other countries, which have been mixed in the bill stack, towards the second upper exit receptacle 106b. In yet another alternative mode, the money handling device 100 is instructed to count the number and the added value of all processed money bills, and the number and value added of each individual denomination of processed money notes. These values can be communicated to the user through the screen / interface 122 of the user, of the device 100 for handling money. Still in another alternative embodiment, the unidentified bills and the bills that are stacked on top of each other are sent to the second upper exit receptacle 106b. In yet another alternative mode, the operator can instruct that all documents that did not pass the authentication test be supplied to the first top outlet 106a. In another alternative embodiment, the operator instructs the money management device 100 to supply the unidentified notes, suspect bills, stacked notes, etc., to one of the lower exit receptacles 106c-106h. The money handling device 100, which has eight output receptacles 106a-106h, provides great flexibility to the user. And in other alternative modalities of the device 100 for handling of money, numerous different combinations are available for document processing. According to one embodiment, the different operations of the money handling device 100 are controlled by processors placed on a number of printed circuit boards ("PCBs") such as 10 PCBs located throughout the device 100. In one embodiment of the present invention, the processors are Motorola processors, Model Number 86HC16, manufactured by Motorola, Inc., of Schaumburg, Illinois. Each of the processors is connected to a central controller through a general purpose communications controller, placed on each PCB. In one embodiment of the present invention, the communications controller is an ARCNET communications controller, model COM220, manufactured by Standard Microsystems Corporation of Hauppage, New York. The communication controller allows the central controller to communicate quickly and efficiently with the different components connected to the PCBs. In accordance with one modality, two PCBs, one "motor board" and a "sensor board" are associated with each pair of the lower output receptacles 106a-106h. The first two lower output receptacles 106c, d, the second two lower output receptacles 106e, f, and the last two lower output receptacles 106g, h are They find in pairs with each other. Each of the lower outlet receptacles 106 contain sensors that track the movement of the notes towards the lower output receptacles 106c-106h, detect whether each storage cartridge 118a-118e is located or not within the device 100 for handling money, they detect whether the doors 359 of the storage cartridges 118 are open or closed, and whether the cartridges 118 are full or not. These aforementioned sensors, associated with each pair of the lower output receptacles, are attached on a sensor board that is connected to the central controller. The operation of the piston assembly 300, of the stacking wheels 202, of the portion of the transport mechanism 104 positioned above the lower outlet receptacles 116c-116h, and of the diverters 130, are controlled by processors placed on the engine board associated with each pair of lower outlet receptacles 106c-106h. Those sensors 130 that track the movement of bills along the transport mechanism 104, which are also positioned directly above the lower output receptacles 106c-106h, are also attached to the respective motor boards. One of the four remaining PCBs is associated with the operation of one or two stacker wheels 127 associated with the upper outlet receptacles 106a, b, with the exhaust wheels 140, with the primary drive motor of the evaluation region 108, with a diverter that sends the bills towards the two upper outlet receptacles 106a, b, and the diverter which then directs the bills between the two upper outlet receptacles 106a, b. The three remaining PCBs are associated with the transport mechanism 104 and a diverter which directs the bills from the transport path to the mechanism 110 for orientation of the banknote face. The plurality of sensors 130 positioned along the transport mechanism 104, used to track the movement of the bills along the transport mechanism 104, are also attached to these three remaining PCBs. Referring now to Figures 19-22, a mechanism for orienting the face of bills 400, of two bands, is illustrated. The mechanism for the orientation of the faces of bills 400, of two bands, is an alternative modality of the mechanism for the orientation of the faces of bills 110 referred to in figures la and lb, and in the related analysis previous. The mechanism for orienting the banknote faces 400, of two bands, can be used in conjunction with the money handling device 100, shown in Figures la and lb to rotate the orientation of the face of a bill 401, approximately 180 *. For example, if a ticket from the United States of America, for example, is presented initially with the surface that carries a portrait of a president, face down, it can be sent to the mechanism for the orientation of the face of the bills 400, of two bands, for which 180 'will be rotated in such a way that the surface of the bill with the portrait faces up. The decision can be made to send a ticket 401 to the mechanism for the orientation of the face 400 when the selected mode of operation or other instructions of the operator require maintaining a determined orientation of the face of the bills, as they are processed by the operator. 100 device for money management. For example, it may be desirable, in certain circumstances, that all bills supplied to the lower outlet receptacles 106c-106h have the same face orientation. In those embodiments of the money handling device 100, the bill evaluation region 108 is able to determine the orientation of the face of a bill, such that a bill not having the desired face orientation may be sent first towards the mechanism for the orientation of the face 400, of two bands, before it is supplied to the appropriate lower outlet receptacle 106c-106h.

The mechanism for the orientation of the faces of the bills 400, of two bands ("mechanism for face orientation") includes a first band 402 and a second band 404. Each of the first and second bands 402, 404 forms a continuous turn. The bands 402, 404 are positioned adjacent to one another, such that the opposing surfaces of each band 402, 404 form a transport path 406 for the orientation of the banknote face. The bands 402, 404 are rotated together so that an inlet 408 of the transport path 406 is rotated approximately 180 'with respect to an outlet 410 of the transport path 406. The first and second bands 402, 404 are wrapped each one around two rollers. The first band 402 is positioned around a first roller 412 positioned adjacent the inlet 408 and a second roller 414 positioned adjacent the outlet 410. The second band 404 is positioned around a third roller 416 positioned adjacent the inlet 408 and a fourth roller 418 positioned adjacent the outlet 410. As illustrated in Figure 19, the first and second rollers 412, 414, associated with the first band are positioned such that the first roller 412 is the "upper" roller in the entrance 408, and the second roller 414 is the "lower" roller at the exit 410. The third and fourth rollers 416,418, associated with the second band, are positioned such that the third roller 416 is the "lower" roller at the inlet 408, and the fourth roller 418 is the "upper" roller at the outlet 410. This arrangement allows the transport path 406 of the mechanism for orienting the face of the "rotated" banknotes. Starting from the inlet 408, a first end 402a of the first band 402 is positioned around the first roller 412 which is positioned above the third roller 416 around which a first end 404a of the second band 404 is located. Observing the Figure 19 from right to left, the first and second bands 402, 404 are rotated together 180 'out from the page. The second end 404b of the second band 404 is now positioned above the second end 402b of the first band 402. The second end 404b of the second band 404 is positioned around the fourth roller 418, and the second end 402 of the first band 402 is positioned around the third roller 414. Between the inlet 408 and the outlet 410, ie between the rollers, there is no structure supporting the portions of the first or second straps 402, 404 that define the path for the transport of banknotes 406. The rollers are connected to axes 419 around which the rollers rotate. In one modality of the mechanism for the orientation of the faces of the two-band banknotes, rollers 414, 418 are drive rollers and rollers 412, 416 are passive rollers. In that embodiment, a motor (not shown) is coupled to shafts 419 associated with drive rollers 414, 418. Two strip guides 420 (Figures 19 and 20) are used to guide the portion of the bands that do not define the path transport 406 or the return portion 422 of the bands, away from the transport path. The return portion 422 of the bands 402, 404 is removed from the transport path 406 to ensure that the return portion 422 does not contact a bill 401 that travels along the transport path 406, causing the bill 401 becomes biased relative to the transport path 406. Each guide 420 of the band is attached to a structure 424 that is fixed to the device 100 for money management. In Figures 19 and 20, only the first band guide 420 is clearly illustrated. In the illustrated embodiment, each guide 420 of the web includes a vertical roller and two horizontal rollers 426. The vertical roller associated with the second guide 420 of the web is marked with the reference number 427. The interior of each web 402, 404 travels against the vertical roller. Any vertical movement of the return portion 422 of the band is restricted by the two horizontal rollers 426 along which the edges 428, 429 of the bands travel. 402, 404. In an alternative embodiment, the band guide 420 contains only one horizontal roller 426 to limit vertical movement of the return portions of the bands. In the embodiment illustrated in Figure 20, the mechanism for the orientation of the banknote faces, of two bands, contains end guides 440 of the bands. The end guides 440 of the bands are used to maintain the position of the bands 402, 404 on the rollers 412, 416. The guides of the bands limit any horizontal movement of the bands 402, 404 at their first ends 402a, 404b. In another embodiment of the mechanism for the orientation of the banknote faces, of two bands, two more end guides, of the bands, are used to limit any horizontal movement of the bands 402, 404 at the second ends 402b, 404b. The end guides 440 of the strips, consist of a structure 442 and two rollers 444. Because the guides 420 of the strips, pull the return portion 422 away from the transport path 406, the guide rollers 444 of the strips , maintain the ends of the bands on the rollers 412, 414, 416, 418 and prohibit any movement of the bands 402, 404 out of the rollers 412, 414, 416, 418. The mechanism for the orientation of the faces of the banknotes 400 also contains four guides 431, 432, 433, 434 placed along the path for the transport of bills 406. Each of these guides is also fixed to the structures 424. The guides 431-434 are composed of a rigid material. A bill is transported through the mechanism for the orientation of the bill faces (as well as through the transport mechanism 104 of the money management ce 100) with the leading edge of the bill being the long or wide edge of the bill 401. The width of the bill 401 is greater than the width of the first and second bands 402, 404 causing a significant portion of the bill 401 to hang on each edge of the bands 402, 404. The function of the guides is to provide support to those portions of the bill 401 that hang from the bands 402, 404. Due to the high processing speed with which the money management ce 100 operates, a significant angular velocity is imparted to a bill that is routed through the mechanism for the orientation of the faces. In alternative arrangements of the money handling ce 100, bills are processed at speeds greater than 1200 bills per minute. Differences in air pressure acting on the front and rear surface areas of the bill 401 can cause the bill 401 to fold or be forced such that the bill is no longer transported in a substantially flat manner. This This situation can occur more easily when the stiffness of the banknote is degraded due to the wear of the banknote which results from rough use. Additionally, bills are often folded in a variety of ways that can cause a bill to be ated in a certain direction, so that the bill does not lie in a flat position under its own weight. It is preferable that the bill 401 be transported through the mechanism for orienting the faces of the bills 400 (and the money management ce 100) in a substantially flat manner. If the bill 401 is not substantially flat when it travels from the outlet 410 of the mechanism for orienting the faces of the bills 400 back to the mechanism for transporting bills 104, there is a possibility that it will tilt at the interface between the outlet 410 and the transport mechanism 104, because the transport mechanism 104 can not "grab" the entire edge of the bill. In operation, a bill 401, shown in the position E, enters the entrance 408 of the mechanism for the orientation of the bill face 400 and is transported along the transport path 406 for orientation of the faces of the bills. bills, in a right-to-left direction indicated by the arrow D. The bill 401 adjacent to the exit 410 is shown in the position F which it is a rotation 180 'from the position E. Referring to the bill 401 in the position E, the bill 401 has edges 450, 451 and surfaces 452, 453, narrow. The first and second bands 402, 404 a portion of which defines the transport path 406, are rotated, causing the bill 401 to rotate in such a way that the (near) edge 450 of the bill 401 falls on the page and the edge (far) 451 of bill 401 rotate up and out of the page. When the bill 401 travels through the bill transport path 406, the surface 452 towards the (near) edge 450 of the bill 401 is guided by the first bill 431. The bill 453 towards the (far) edge 451 of the bill 401 is supported by the second guide 432. The guides 431, 432 support their respective surfaces of the bill 401 until the bill 401 is substantially in a vertical position. As the ticket continues traveling to exit 410, the edge 451 (now at the top of the page) continues to rotate out the page while the 450 border (now at the bottom of the page) rotates into the page. Continuing, the surface 453 towards the edge 451 is guided by the guide 433. The surface 452 towards the edge 450 is guided by the guide 434. When the bill reaches the outlet 410, the orientation of the bill has been rotated 180 '. The ticket then enters the transport mechanism 104 of the 104 device for money management. In another alternative mode, the money management device 100 operates in an extraction mode, where, according to the data entered by a user or the selection of a previously programmed operating mode, the money bills are stacked in such a way that the smallest stacks of bills within a larger stack of bills are easily identifiable. Typically, in the handling of money in stacks, after the money bills have been analyzed, named, authenticated, counted, and / or processed in some other way, money bills are bundled. The bundling of bills is a process by which a stack of a specific number of bills, of a single denomination, are secured together as with a paper web. For example, one dollar bills are segregated into stacks of one hundred dollar bills and then joined with a paper band. The bundle facilitates the handling of money in bundles, allowing bundles of bundled bills to be counted instead of individual money bills. When operated according to a bundling mode, the money handling device 100 stacks the money bills in the lower outlet receptacles 106c-106h in such a way that the smaller lots of money bills are easily identifiable, such as alternating the orientation of the faces of the smaller banknotes in the stack. Stated another way, as illustrated in Figure 23, each other smaller bill stack 550, comprising the larger bill stack 552, or is oriented with the surface of the bill bearing the portrait of the chair, face up , or face down. This arrangement allows a user of the money management device 100 to quickly segregate the smallest batteries 550 from the largest bank of bills 552 for bundling purposes after the user removes the largest stack of banknotes. 552 of the storage cartridge 118a-f associated with a corresponding lower outlet receptacle 106c-h. For example, a user wishing to "bundle" $ 20 bills from the United States of America would then instruct the device to handle money, such that the orientation of the faces of each batch of one hundred $ 20 bills alternate. A mechanism for flipping bills, such as, for example, the mechanism 400 for orienting the faces of the bills, of two bands, illustrated in Figures 19-22, or the mechanism 110 for orienting the faces of the bills. banknotes, referred to in Figures la and lb, can be incorporated into the money management device 100, to vary the orientation of the banknote faces, according to a bundling mode, Such that the individual money bills, within each stack of smaller money bills 550, have a common orientation of the faces. Alternatively, in other embodiments of the present invention, other tumbling mechanisms may be used. The total number of bills per stack of smaller money bills 550 is termed as "limit". The "limit" is a predetermined number that is either defined by the user of the system 100 for money management or is defined by a mode of operation. In one embodiment, the user defines, through the user interface 122, that the limit is, for example, fifty money bills. Consequently, the orientation of the face of every fifty money bills alternates. In another alternative mode, a user selects, through the user interface 122, a "bundling mode of $ 20" where, for example, the limit is predefined, such as one hundred $ 20 bills. Although any number of tickets can be included, in a wad of money bills, money bills are traditionally bundled into stacks of one hundred bills. Referring also to Figure 24, the steps performed in a bundling operation mode will be described in detail. For purposes of this example, the bill stack consists of $ 20 bills from the United States of America, in both-sided orientations.

Initially in steps 502, 504 and 506, the limit is defined, the bill count is set to zero, and the target orientation is defined, respectively. The orientation of the face, objective, is the orientation of the face that will have the first smallest stack of bills, when it is stacked in a particular outlet receptacle 106c-106h such as the outlet receptacle lOßf. The objective orientation, either face up or face down, can be determined according to one mode of operation or can be entered by a user in step 506. In an alternative mode of the money management device 100, the target orientation can be be defined as the orientation of the first money bill transported through the evaluation region 108 or the first money bill of a given denomination, transported through the evaluation region 108. The initial objective orientation dictates the orientation of the first stack of money bills, smaller, 550, stacked on the platform 356 of a particular storage cartridge 118a-f. Accordingly, the initial objective orientation of the bundling mode, which resulted in the stacking of money bills illustrated in Figure 23, was face up. Upon beginning operation of the money handling device 100, the tickets are transported, one at a time, through the evaluation region 108 to one. of the output receptacles 106c-h. In step 508, while being transported through the evaluation region 108, the orientation of the face of each of the bills is determined. The orientation of the face of the bill that is evaluated in that. At this time, it is compared to the target orientation at 510. If the orientation of the money bill being evaluated at that time coincides with the target orientation, the orientation of the face of the bill is maintained in step 512 and the bill is transported to a particular receptacle of the outlet receptacles 106c-h in step 514. If the orientation of the money bill being evaluated at that time fails to match the objective orientation, the bill is first transported to the mechanism for orientation of the bills. faces of banknotes 400 in step 516, wherein the orientation of the banknote face is reversed as the banknote is rotated 180. The banknote with the appropriate orientation of the face is then transported and stacked in a particular receptacle of the banknotes. outlet receptacles 106c-h in step 514. As each note is transported to the outlet receptacle 106c-106h, in step 516, a bill counter is incremented by one, that the number of bills transported to the particular outlet receptacle 106c-h, which have a common orientation of the faces, is equivalent to the bundling limit. The bundling limit is compared to the bill count in step 518.

When the bill count is equivalent to the bundling limit, the objective orientation of the face is redefined to be the other of the two face orientations, face up or face down, in step 520. The bill count it is then readjusted to zero in step 522. The money evaluation device continues to operate in this manner until the entire batch of money bills is processed. The precedent is an example of the steps performed in the processing of money bills, with the device 100 for money management, according to a stacking operation mode. In alternative modes, the sequence in which the steps are carried out can be rearranged into a variety of different or combined orders. For example, in an alternative mode, the steps Define The Limit 502, Adjust the Bill Count to Zero 504, and define the target orientation 506, can be combined in a pre-programmed bundling operation mode, which the user simply selects from the user interface 122. For example, the user may select a "bundled $ 50" mode of operation, through the user interface 122, where the limit is predefined to 100 bills, the bill count is set to zero, and the target orientation initial is defined as face down.

In alternative embodiments of the present invention, money bills can be processed in the lower outlet receptacles 106c-h in a variety of ways. For example, in one embodiment, the bills are processed to the deposit region 116 until the deposit region 116 is full. At that time, the piston assembly 300 transfers the bills from the deposit region 116 to the corresponding storage cartridge 118. The money handling device 100 functions in this manner until all the bills have been processed in the storage cartridge (s) 118. If after all the tickets have been processed, a small stack of tickets has been supplied to a storage cartridge 118 containing a certain number of tickets which is less than the bundling limit, the device 100 for handling money can notify the user, through the interface 122 for the user. In yet another alternative embodiment, after a certain number of bills, equivalent to the bundling limit, are processed to the deposit region 116, the piston assembly 300 transfers the bills to the storage cartridge 300. In this embodiment, a Bundling operation mode, all smaller bill stacks, found in the storage cartridge, contain a number of bills equivalent to the bundling limit. A stack of bills which contains a number of money bills, less than the limit, remains in the deposit region until the operator removes the battery from the money handling device 100 or until the stack is supplemented with bills from an additional batch of cash. Money processed by the device for money management. After the entire batch of money bills is processed to the lower outlet receptacles 106c-h, according to a bundling operation mode, a user of the money handling device 100 removes the stacks of bills from each cartridge of storage 118a-f, associated with the corresponding lower outlet receptacles 106c-h. Because the smaller stacks of bills inside each of the larger stacks of bills removed from the storage cartridges 118a-f are arranged with alternating orientations of the faces, the user can quickly segregate the stacks smaller, larger batteries, and join each of the smaller batteries with a band. In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, larger stacks of bills, comprising smaller stacks of bills, having alternative face orientations, as illustrated in FIG. 23, may be formed in the output receptacles. lower 106c-h, without the use of the mechanism for orientation for faces of the bills. In that embodiment, the face-up bills are transported to an "objective" lower exit receptacle and the face-down bills are conveyed to another target lower receptacle, until the limit is reached in both lower exit receptacles. The objective receptacles 106 are then changed and the process repeated. For example, banknotes of a certain denomination, which have an upward facing orientation, are routed towards the first lower exit receptacle 106c, and banknotes of the same denomination, which have a face-down orientation, are routed towards the second receptacle of 106d lower output. The face-up and face-down tickets continue to be processed towards the first and second lower exit receptacles 106c, d, respectively, until a number of bills equivalent to the limit has been processed towards the first and second lower exit receptacles 106c, d. At that time, the bills face up are then routed to the second lower exit receptacle 106d, and the bills face down are routed to the first lower exit receptacle 106c. The banknotes continue to be processed in this manner until the limit is reached again in both the first and the second lower output receptacles 106c, d, at which time the lower, target output receptacles are again changed, 106, of the bills face up and face down. The process continues as described, until the entire batch of money is processed, and each of the lower outlet receptacles 106c, d, contain stacks of larger bills containing smaller stacks, having alternating face orientations. . Obviously, the limit will be reached in one of the two lower output receptacles 106c, d before in the other two lower output receptacles 106c, d. Accordingly, the excess bills are removed from the classification or, alternatively, a similar method is carried out in the adjacent, lower exit receptacles 106e, f. For example, when the limit is reached first with respect to the face-up tickets sent to the first lower exit receptacle 106c, the face-up bills are then routed to the third lower exit receptacle 106e, while the face-down bills continue to be sent. to the second lower outlet receptacles 106d. If the limit is reached in the third lower outlet receptacle 106e, before in the second lower exit receptacle 106d, the face up bills can then be sent to the next lower exit receptacle 106f. When the limit is eventually reached in the second output receptacle 106d, the lower output receptacles, objective, 106c, d, of the face up and face down, they can be changed as described. Although the above example was analyzed along with the processing of only one denomination of money notes, in other alternative modalities more than one denomination of money notes can be processed in a similar manner. In still other alternative embodiments of the present invention, the smaller money stacks can be distinguished, for bundling purposes, from the larger stacks of bills processed to the lower stacks, in a variety of other ways, without alternating the orientation of the faces of the stacks of smaller, consecutive bills. In other alternative embodiments, dividers such as sheets of paper are injected into the flow of money bills, so that the sheets of paper are placed between each of the stacks of smaller money bills. These "separation sheets" may be any of a variety of colors that can be easily distinguished from the money bills being processed, such as, for example, fluorescent orange, pink, yellow, red, etc. The sheets that can be easily distinguished from the money bills that are being processed, will facilitate the identification and segregation, on the part of the user, of the stacks of smaller money bills inside the stack. big. In other embodiments, a mark in the "separation sheets" denoting the number of bills, the denomination of the bills and / or the value of each smaller bill stack, can provide information to the user of the device 100 for the handling of money. In yet another alternative mode, instead of inverting the orientation of the banknote faces, to distinguish smaller stacks of money bills, each of the smaller stacks 554 are slightly traversed from the previous smaller stack, such as it is illustrated in Figure 25a. In that embodiment, each smaller, consecutive stack of notes 554 containing the largest stack 556 can be traversed such that the largest bill stack 556 appears in a "stepped" fashion. Alternatively, as illustrated in Figure 25b, each smaller bank of notes 558 is traversed to the left and to the right of a center C of the platform 556 of the storage cartridge 118 in which the notes are stacked, so such that the side of the largest bill stack 560 appears corrugated. Many of the aforementioned modes of operation can be combined with a bundling mode, in a multitude of alternative embodiments of the present invention. For example, in an alternative embodiment of the present invention, many denominations of banknotes of Money from the United States of America can be processed according to a bundling mode of operation. In this modality, bills of $ 1, $ 5, $ 10, $ 20, $ 50, and $ 100 of the United States of North America, according to a mode of operation of bundling, are processed to the lower output receptacles 106c-106h, respectively, while the orientation of the face of each set of hundred bills is alternated within each of the output receptacles. Therefore, in one of these modalities, the money management device must name each of the money bills that are being processed. Continuing with the present example, when a $ 1, $ 5, $ 10, $ 20, $ 50, and $ 100 bill is detected, which is not from the United States of America, such as a Canadian $ 1 bill or a US $ 2 bill United States of America, that ticket is removed from the classification towards one of the upper output receptacles 106a, b. In addition, the money management device 100 can also authenticate each of the bills that are being processed, according to a bundling mode of operation. Inauthentic notes can be routed to upper output receptacles 106a, b as such. Alternatively, non-authentic notes can be routed to the upper outlet 106a and the $ 1, $ 5, $ 10, $ 20, $ 50, or $ 100 notes that are not from the United States of North America, or the unidentified bills are routed to upper outlet receptacles 106b. In other alternative modalities, the money handling device 100 is capable of naming, authenticating, and orienting the face, for the purpose of bundling lots of bills containing many different international currencies. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, a user may wish to segregate, denominate, authenticate, and stack, for the purpose of bundling, $ 20, $ 50, $ 100 bills from the United States of America and $ 20 bills, $ 50, $ 100 Canadians. The $ 20, $ 50, $ 100 US dollars bills can be sent to the first three lower exit receptacles 106c-e, and the $ 20, $ 50, $ 100 Canadian tickets can be sent to the second three lower exit receptacles 106f-h. Accordingly, the money handling device must name each of the money bills, before sending the bills to a lower exit receptacle 106c-h. $ 20, $ 50, $ 100 bills that are not from the United States of America and $ 20, $ 50, $ 100 bills that are not Canadian, are directed toward one of the upper exit receptacles 106a, b, such as the second receptacle of upper output 106b. Tickets can also be authenticated. The $ 20, $ 50, $ 100 bills of the United States of America and genuine $ 20, $ 50, $ 100 Canadian bills are sent to appropriate lower outlet receptacles 106c-h. Banknotes that are not authenticated, suspect bills can be routed to the first top exit receptacle 106a. In addition, suspect bills of $ 20, $ 50, $ 100 that are not from the United States of America, and suspicious $ 20, $ 50, $ 100, non-Canadian bills can also be sent to the first 106a top exit receptacle. Additionally, in another of the alternative embodiments of the present invention, modular outlet receptacles may be added, such that, for example, $ 5 and $ 10 bills from the United States of America are processed in the same manner at par. of the $ 20, $ 50, $ 100 bills of the United States of America and of the $ 20, $ 50, $ 100 Canadian bills. As is apparent from the foregoing analysis, a bundling operation mode may be combined with other modes of operation to instruct the money handling device to operate in a multitude of different variations. As discussed above, the money management system uses flow control to track the movement of each individual ticket, through the device 100 for handling money, as well as for detecting the occurrence of bill jams in the device 100 for handling money. The use of flow control not only allows the device 100 to more quickly detect money jams, but also allows the device 100 to implement a reconciliation procedure for bill jams, which results in significant time savings with respect to the prior art. During normal operation, a processor together with the plurality of sensors 119. placed along the transport mechanism 104 tracks each of the money bills transported through the money management device 100, from the evaluation region 108. to the deposit regions 116. Accordingly, the processor monitors the number of banknotes that for example has advanced from the input receptacle 102 through the evaluation unit 108, the number of bills stacked in each of the deposit regions 116a-f, and the number of bills that have moved to the storage cartridges 118a-f. The device 100 maintains separate counts of the number of banknotes supplied to each deposit region 116 and to each of the storage cartridges 118. As the notes move from a deposit region 116 to a corresponding storage cartridge 118, the number total of bills that move, is added to the total number of bills that are in the storage cartridge 118. Upon detecting a bill jam occurring in the transport mechanism 104, the processor has kept an accurate count of the number of bills that have already been transported to each deposit region 116. The integrity of the bill count is maintained because the flow control routine quickly determines the presence of bill jamming in the transport mechanism 104. Again, as is discussed above, if a ticket does not pass through the next sensor 119 at a predetermined number of coder counts, the operation of the transport mechanism 104 is suspended and the user is alerted of the error. Because the transport of the bills is suspended almost immediately upon the occurrence of the failure due to a ticket not passing through a sensor 119, within a specific time frame (for example, a certain number of encoder counts) thus preventing the accumulation of bills , the processor "knows" the specific location of each of the bills in the device 100, because the operation of the device is suspended before the bills are allowed to accumulate. Due to the almost immediate suspension of transport of the banknotes, the integrity of the banknote counts is maintained in the deposit regions 116 and in the storage cartridges 118. Before the system is jet-cleared, the notes within each of the deposit regions 116 are transported downwards, from the deposit regions 116 to the corresponding storage cartridges 118. If bill jamming occurs in one of the deposit regions 116, notes located in other deposit regions 116 where no the jamming of notes occurred, they are transported towards the respective deposit cartridges 118. In a modality of the device 10 for the evaluation of money, the user is notified, through the user interface 122, of the presence of a bill jam , and the suspension of ticket transportation. The user is instructed whether the notes in the deposit regions 116 should move towards the storage cartridges 118. In other embodiments of the money handling device, the notes already in the deposit regions move. automatically to the storage cartridges, when a bill jam is detected. The user is directed, through the user interface 122, to the next site of the bill jam, in the transport mechanism 104.

If necessary, the user can electronically shake the transport mechanism 104, as described above, to facilitate the manual removal of the bill jam. After releasing the binding of bills and causing the bills that were already transported to the deposit regions 116 to move to the corresponding storage cartridges 118, the user is instructed to jet clear the bills which are then in the transport mechanism 104. The jet clearing of the bills causes the bills that are still in the transport mechanism 104 to be transported to one of the deposit regions 116. After the remaining bills are jet-cleared from the mechanism 116, the operator can remove the jetted banknotes from the deposit region 116 for reprocessing. Referring now to Figure 26, the operation of the banknote binding reconciliation process will be described, in relation to the illustrated, functional block diagram of the money management device 100. According to the mode of operation selected by the user, the money bills are transported from the input receptacle 102 through the evaluation region 108 to one of the plurality of output receptacles 106a-h. According to certain modes of operation, some of the money bills are also transported through the mechanism for the orientation of the faces of the bills 110 in those modalities of the device 100 for handling money, which implement a mechanism for the orientation of the faces of the banknotes 110. As each banknote is transported through the money management device 100, by means of the transport mechanism 104, a processor, relative to the plurality of banknote passing sensors 119, tracks the movement of each of the bills, from the evaluation region 106 to each of the deposit regions 116a-f, according to the flow control process discussed above. As the notes are delivered to each of the deposit regions 116a-f, a bill counter 203 of the deposit region ("ER counter" in Figure 26) assigned to each deposit region 116 maintains a count of number of bills transported towards each deposit region 116. After a predetermined number of bills has been transported to a deposit region 116, the operation of the transport mechanism is temporarily suspended while the bills move from the deposit region 116 towards the corresponding storage cartridge 118. A counter 205 of the storage cartridge ("SC counter" in Figure 26), which corresponds to each storage cartridge 118, keeps a count of the total number of bills that have been moved to a storage cartridge. With the movement of the notes from the deposit region 116 to the corresponding storage cartridge 118, the count of the deposit region is added to the count of the storage cartridge. After adding the deposit region count and the storage cartridge count, the counter 203 of the deposit region is reset to zero and the operation of the transport mechanism is resumed. With the detection of the presence of a bill jam, the operation of the transport mechanism 104 is suspended. At the time of a bill jam, each of the deposit regions has transported therein as many bills as two hundred and fifty or one amount as small as zero bills. A count of the specific number of tickets, in each of the deposit regions 116a-f, is maintained by each of the counters 203a-f of the deposit region. In response to the data entered by the user, the tickets in the deposit regions 116 move from the deposit regions 116 to the storage cartridges 118, and the deposit bill count 203 is added to the bill count 205 in the storage cartridge. The operator of device 100 for the money handling, you can then eliminate the jamming of banknotes and jet-clear the remaining bills, from the transport mechanism 104 as discussed above. If bill jamming has occurred in one of the deposit regions 116, banknotes in the remaining deposit regions 116, in which bill jams have not been detected, move towards the corresponding storage cartridges 118. Those bills already transported to the deposit region 116, in which bill jams have been detected, are reprocessed together with the jet-cleared bills of the transport mechanism 104. The capacity of the money management device 100, for transporting the processed tickets to the deposit regions 116 and to the storage cartridges 118, while maintaining the integrity of the bill counts 203, 205, with respect to each outlet receptacle 106c-h, is an improvement significant that results in appreciable time savings, with respect to the devices of the prior art. In the interior technical devices, when a bill jam occurs, the operator would have to eliminate the jamming of bills and manually turn a crank to move the remaining bills, from the transport path to the deposit regions. The prior art devices do not keep separate accumulated totals, as the notes pass through several points in the device. For example, a prior device can only count the tickets as they are transported through a machine evaluation region for money management. The tickets that come out of the evaluation region are included in the totals regardless of whether or not they were involved in money jams or if they were successfully transported to an exit receptacle. Therefore, when a bill jam occurs, the bills involved in bill jamming, as well as the bills already transported to the exit receptacles, have been reprocessed. Other devices of the prior art, which have both retention areas and storage areas, keep only a count of the number of tickets that are in the storage areas, but not a count of the number of tickets that are in the areas of storage. retention. The reprocessing of all the tickets already transported to the retention areas, is a delayed process since the number of tickets that are going to be reprocessed can be bulky. In the device of the present, for example, each of the deposit regions 116 can accommodate approximately two hundred and fifty tickets Six deposit regions present the possibility of having to reprocess up to 1500 banknotes when a bill jam occurs. The problem is further increased when modulating, lower, output receptacles 106 are added. For example, the addition of eight lower, modular output receptacles 106 increases the total number of lower output receptacles 106 to 14, such that They would have to re-process up to 3,500 bills. The inefficiencies associated with this procedure arise from the loss of productivity while the device 100 is stopped, and from the time required to remove the stacks of banknotes from the deposit regions 116, as well as from the time required to reprocess the banknotes removed from the bank. deposit regions 116. Over the lifespan of prior art money management devices, it is likely that the individual key components of the devices, including specific components of the output receptacles, will degrade and from one moment to another fail The failure of an individual component, specific to an outlet receptacle, can cause the output receptacle to fail. The absence of operation of one of the output receptacles of the money handling devices of the prior art can cause the entire device not to work, regardless of whether the receptacles of The remaining outputs are functioning properly. Failures of the components, which result in the absence of operation of the entire device, can have a devastating effect on the cash handling operations performed by the users of these devices. The inventors of the present invention have found that money management devices play a vital role in the overall functioning of a cash box, including cash boxes in banks or casinos. The inventors estimate that more than 90% (ninety percent) of the cash handled in a cash box is processed by a money management device. Therefore, the failure of a money management device can have a disastrous effect on the operation of a cashier or other operations that are based on the operation of the money management device. As in the prior art money management devices, it is anticipated that throughout the extended life of the money handling device 100, the components of the device 100 including specific components for the output receptacles 106, they will degrade and from one moment to another they will fail. These individual components include, for example, the motor 330 (Figure 11), the band 328 (Figure 11), the sensors such as the banknote passing sensors 119, the solenoids, the switches indicating whether a cartridge 118 is properly inserted into an outlet receptacle 106, and other electrical or mechanical components of the output receptacles 106. However, the money processing device 100 of the present invention implements a backup routine for remedying the failure of a component (s) of an outlet receptacle 106 which would otherwise render the money management device 100 inoperable. The inventors of the present invention use the term "disable bags" to describe this backup routine that essentially disables one or more output receptacles 106 (also called a "bag") component in which a fault (s) has occurred (s). ). Upon the occurrence of a component failure in one of the output receptacles, the user of the money management device 100 is informed of the error through the user interface 112. For example, each of the lower outlet receptacles 106c-h contains a switch (not shown) that is fired when a cartridge 118 is properly inserted into the outlet receptacle 106. Under normal circumstances, the control unit 120 detects the switch triggered by the proper insertion of a cartridge 118 into the outlet receptacle 106 and the money management device 100 functions as intended. When a cartridge 118 is inserted in a Inadequate, the control unit 120 does not detect the presence of an appropriately inserted cartridge 118 and is indicated to the user through the user interface 122. With visual inspection or physical manipulation of the storage cartridge 118, the operator can quickly determine whether or not the cartridge 118 is properly inserted into the output receptacle 106. If the operator determines that the cartridge 118 is properly inserted, and the signal of error is itself an error, the operator can implement the bag disabling routine, through the user interface 122. The implementation of the bag disabling routine will cause the control unit 120 to ignore the error conditions associated with the output receptacle 106 that experiences component failure, essentially shutting down that output receptacle, allowing the device 100 to operate of money works with a lower output receptacle 106c-h less. For example, disabling the first lower outlet receptacle 106c will cause the money handling device 100 to operate as if the device 100 had five lower exit receptacles, from the second lower exit receptacle 106d to the sixth lower exit receptacle 106h. The notes that are normally sent to the first lower outlet receptacle 106c are now sent, from according to the bag disengagement routine, towards another of the outlet receptacles 106, such as the first or second top outlet receptacles 106a-b. In other embodiments of the device 100, more than one lower outlet receptacle 106c-h may be disabled. For example, disabling the first two lower exit receptacles 106c-d will cause the money handling device 100 to operate with lower fourth output receptacles, from the third lower exit receptacle 106e to the sixth lower exit receptacle 106h. According to one modality of the bag disabling routine, the notes that would normally be sent to the outgoing receptacle (s), which do not work, are now sent to the outlet receptacle to which the bills are sent. trigger error conditions (for example, unidentified bills), according to various modes of operation. The bag disabling routine is designed to operate with existing modes of operation (or other user-defined modes of operation) such as for example those modes of operation incorporated as referenced above, of PCT WO99 / 09511, which is incorporated in the present, as a reference, in your? whole. In other words, the bag disabling routine complements the mode of operation selected by the user, sending the tickets from otherwise they would be sent to the disabled exit receptacle, towards an alternative exit receptacle. In one embodiment the bag disablement routine directs the bills that would otherwise be sent to the disabled output receptacle, to an exit receptacle 106 to which bills are sent that trigger error conditions, in accordance with the common mode of operation of the device 100 for money management. By way of example, one mode of operation may direct bills that trigger an "unidentified" error condition toward the second lower exit receptacle 106b, while sending the $ 1 bills of the United States of America, towards the first lower outlet receptacle 106c. By disabling the first lower outlet receptacle 106c, the $ 1 bills are automatically sent to the outlet receptacle 106b of unidentified bills, which is the second lower exit receptacle. During the operation of the device 100, both identifiable $ 1 bills and unidentified bills are sent to the second lower exit receptacle 106b. The device 100 may suspend operation when an unidentified note is supplied to the second upper outlet 106b, giving the operator the opportunity to remove the unidentified notes from the $ 1 bills. identifiable Alternatively, all banknotes that trigger error conditions can be sent to the first upper outlet receptacle 106a and the $ 1 bills are sent to the second lower exit receptacle 106b. In other alternative embodiments, after one or more of the output receptacles 106 have been disabled, the user is instructed to select which of the remaining output receptacles 106 will replace the disabled output receptacle 106. The user may designate that $ 1 bills from the United States of America are sent to the sixth lower outlet receptacle, for example along with $ 5 bills from the United States of America. Many of the modes of operation send the unidentified notes to one of the upper output receptacles 106a, b. However, in alternative embodiments of the present invention, banknotes that trigger error conditions may be sent to any of the plurality of outlet receptacles 106. Referring now to Figure 27, the operation of the device 100 for operation will be described. of money, according to a modality of the 600 bag disabling routine. Prior to the implementation of the bag disabling routine, the user of the money handling device 100 determines what is it is necessary to disable one or more of the output receptacles 106 of the device 100. When deciding to process a batch of money notes, the user enters data or selects (via the user interface 122) an operation mode in step 602. An illustrative screen 650 that can be displayed on the user interface 122 is illustrated in Figure 29. The user can select one of a plurality of buttons 652 that corresponds to the desired mode of operation. This step 602 may also include the assignment of binding names and limits to a specific mode of operation by selecting buttons 672 as shown in illustrative display 670 of Figure 30. In step 604, the user instructs the device 100 to disable one of the output receptacles 106. This may include the designation of the specific outlet (s) 106 (s) to be enabled and which receptacle (s). of exit 106 is going to be disabled (s). An illustrative display 660 that can be displayed on the user interface 122, is illustrated in Figure 31. According to illustrative display 660 of Figure 30, buttons 661-664 have been selected thereby enabling the first four output receptacles lower 106c-f, while buttons 665-666 have not been selected thus disabling the fifth and sixth lower output receptacles 106g-h. Alternatively, the routine of disqualifying bags, automatically disables the outgoing receptacle (s) that do not work (n) 106. Subsequently, operation of the device 100 for handling money begins. As each note is transported through the evaluation region 108, the information concerning each note is determined in step 606. That information may include the denomination, type of money, or authenticity. Then, based on the information determined, concerning the bill, an exit receptacle 106 to which the device 100 normally carries that bill, is designated in step 608. The designated exit receptacle 106 is determined according to the mode of operation particular. For example, a particular mode of operation may designate the first lower outlet receptacle 106c for $ 1 bills of the United States of America, and the second lower exit receptacle 106d for Canadian bills of $ 1. The designated outlet receptacle (designated according to the mode of operation) is checked against the disabled output receptacle (disabled according to the bag disablement routine) in step 608. If the designated outlet receptacle 106 is not the disengaged output receptacle, the note is sent to the designated output receptacle 106 in step 612. If the designated output receptacle is the output receptacle disabled, the output receptacle is disabled.

The bill is sent to the designated outlet bin for unidentified bills, typically one of the two upper outlet receptacles 106a, b is designated for the unidentified bills. Referring now to Figure 28, the operation of the money handling device will be described, according to another embodiment of the bag disabling routine 620. Again, before implementing the bag disabling routine 620, of the user of the money management device 100, it determines that it is necessary to disable one or more of the output receptacles. 106 of the device 100. When deciding to process a batch of money bills, the user enters data or selects (through the user interface 122) an operation mode in step 622. In step 624, the user instructs the device 100 to disable one or more of the output receptacles 106. According to alternative embodiments, the Steps 622 and 624, or steps 602, 604, with respect to Figure 27, may be executed in the reverse order. Again, step 624 may include the designation of the specific output receptacle (s) to be disabled. Alternatively, the bag disabling routine 620, in step 624, automatically disables the outgoing receptacle (s) that do not work (n). In step 626, the designations of outlet receptacles, in accordance with the selected mode of operation (for example $ 10 bills from the United States of America are sent to the third lower exit receptacle 106e) are updated to reflect the disqualification of the receptacle (s) ) output. For example, according to one mode of operation, the third lower outlet receptacle 106e is designated to receive $ 10 bills from the United States of America, and the second upper exit receptacle 106b may be designated to receive unidentified bills. In step 626, the designation of the second upper outlet receptacle 106b is updated to include $ 10 bills from the United States of America. In a modality of the bag disabling routine 620, the disabled output receptacles are replaced with those output receptacles 106 assigned to bills that trigger error conditions (e.g., unidentified bills) are sent to either of the two output receptacles. higher 106a-b. Alternatively, step 626 may include the selection of the particular output receptacle (s) 106 to replace the disabled output receptacles. Subsequently, the operation of the output receptacles begins. In step 628, information concerning each of the tickets is determined, such as the denomination of the tickets. The determined information it is used to designate to which output receptacle a particular note is sent in step 632. For example, the notes which, according to the determination, are $ 100 bills of the United States of America, are sent to lower exit receptacles 106h. In step 632, the device 100 sends the bill to the designated outlet receptacle 106. According to one mode of operation, an operator can instruct, via the control unit 120 in step 602, that a batch of The tickets are processed in such a way that the stacks of $ 1, $ 5, $ 10, $ 20, $ 50, and $ 100 notes from the United States of America are denominated, counted, authenticated and sent to the lower exit receptacles 106c-106h, respectively. Other bills such as $ 2 bills from the United States of America, money bills from other countries that have been mixed in the batch of bills, and unidentifiable (unidentified) bills are sent to the second top exit receptacle 106b. Finally $ 1, $ 5, $ 10, $ 20, $ 50 and $ 100 bills from the United States of America, which have been determined to be non-authentic (for example, suspicious documents) are sent to the first top exit receptacle 106a. The mode of operation described above is simply an example of the manner in which the machine 100 for handling money processes the money bills. The money management device 100, which has eight output receptacles 106a-106h, provides a high degree of flexibility to the user. And in other alternative modalities of the money management device 100, numerous different combinations are available for the document processing. When a user implements the bag disabling rupture, an exit bag, for example the first lower exit receptacle 106c, is disabled. Accordingly, during processing, each of the bills in the lot is processed as described above, except that $ 1 bills from the United States of America are sent to the second top outlet 106b along with those bills that were determined as strangers. As indicated above, in alternative embodiments of the bag disabling routine, the user may designate the outlet receptacle to which the notes that are normally sent to one or more disabled bags are to be sent. In that embodiment, with the selection of the bag disabling routine, the device 100 may indicate to the user, through the user interface 122, that it specifies the alternative (s) output receptacle (s) 106 , to which they are going to send tickets that would otherwise be sent to the disabled outlet (s) 106. For example, using the scenario described above, both the $ 1 and $ 5 bills of the United States of America can be sent to the second lower outlet receptacle 106d when the first lower exit receptacle 106c is disabled.That modality can be advantageous if the user anticipates a low volume of $ 1 and $ 5 bills from the United States of America. it may vary the output receptacle (s) 106 to which the notes that would otherwise be sent to disabled output receptacles are to be sent, in a manner that is best suited for the particular application. provides a temporary solution to remedy the lack of operation in one of the output receptacles.The users of the money management device 100 can n continue processing money bills while awaiting the arrival of spare parts and / or wait for the repair to take place. Although the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments thereof have been presented by way of example in the drawings and have been described in detail herein. Without However, it should be understood that it is not intended to limit the invention to the particular forms described, but on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives that fall within the spirit and scope of the invention, as they are defined. by the appended claims.
