Currency stacker and presenter

Abstract

A document stacker and presenter comprising a frame, a presenter unit pivotally mounted in the frame, first linkage for moving the presenter unit between first and second positions in the frame, receiving apparatus for receiving documents to be stacked, including a rotating stacker wheel, and a stripper yoke pivotally mounted in the frame, and second linkage for moving the stripper yoke between first and second positions. The stripper yoke, when in the first position, cooperates with the presenter unit when the presenter unit is also in said first position to form a stack of documents as they are received from said stacker wheel. The presenter unit also has a pressure plate associated therewith, and third linkage moves the pressure plate between an open position and a capture position in which the stack of documents is retained on said presenter unit by the pressure plate. The presenter unit also has endless belts thereon for feeding the stack between the presenter unit and the pressure plate when the pressure plate is in the capture position to deposit the stack of documents in a reject bin when the presenter unit is in the first position and to deposit the stack of documents in a customer access area when the presenter unit is in the second position.
