Abstract
A bulk banknote feeder can operate in a single banknote feeding mode or a bulk banknote feeding mode. The bulk banknote feeder can include an accept inlet and a landing platform installed in the accept inlet. The landing platform assembly includes a landing platform, landing platform pins, landing platform cranks, position gears, and one or more springs. The landing platform includes slots perpendicular to a motion of the landing platform. The landing platform pins interface to the slots of the landing platform. The landing platform cranks interface with the landing platform pins. The position gears include slots to allow pressure pins to travel within the position gears. The one or more springs provide an upward force on the landing platform and the landing platform pins through the landing platform, and the upward force on the landing platform pins causes the landing platform cranks to rotate.
