Abstract
A sheet handling apparatus for accumulating currency notes into a stack includes a rotatable cylinder (14), an endless belt (22) driven together with the cylinder (14) and arranged to be in cooperative relationship with the cylinder (14) over a major part of the periphery thereof, and feeding mechanism (98, 84) for feeding currency into an entry throat (174) between the cylinder (14) and the belt (22), whereby a single or multiple note fed into the entry throat (174) is held between the belt (22) and the cylinder (14) and is carried around the axis of the cylinder (14). The operation of the feeding means (98, 84) is synchronized with the rotation of the cylinder (14) so that each successive single or multiple note fed into the entry throat (174) is brought into a superposed relationship with the note or notes already held between the belt (22) and the cylinder (14) so as to form a stack of sheets (24) between the belt ( 22) and the cylinder (14).
