An arrangement for feeding flat, thin objects, such as valuable documents in the form of banknotes, cheques, etc., along a transport path, including object straightening and repositioning means which straighten or reposition the objects as they pass sequentially along the transport path. The straightening means includes rotating driven object straightening rollers that lie briefly against the objects as the objects pass along the transport path. The straightening means includes two rotatable, driven straightening rollers, each mounted on a driving shaft and intended to lie in abutment with the objects. The straightening means further includes control means which causes the rollers to move in accordance with the deviation of respective objects from an intended correct position on the transport path.

Arrangement for correctly feeding thin objects, such as banknotes,

An arrangement for infeeding and outfeeding documents, such as banknotes, cheques, etc., having a command system for externally controlling the functions thereof, and a storage system for storing the documents fed into the arrangement between mutually coacting belts. The storage system has allocated, well-defined and registered document storage positions for incoming documents. A detector system functions to identify incoming documents prior to storage of the documents in the well-defined and unoccupied positions. The arrangement also includes a memory system for storing information relating to respective locations of stored documents, and a path selector mechanism which, when in a first position, enables the documents to be fed to the storage system and which, when in a second position, enables, in accordance with information obtained from the memory system, the documents earlier stored in the document storage system to be dispensed from the arrangement in response to a command entered through the command system. This enables the arrangement to receive a mixture of different documents on each infeed occasion and to dispense on each outfeed occasion a desired quantity and desired type of documents pre-selected through the command system.
