Claims (10)

1. Apparatus for receiving, storing, and dispensing bills and the like, which comprises a magazine having a series of cells, each of which is adapted to receive a single bill, said cells having notched walls with the notches thereof aligned to define a continuous path through said cells in sequence, and bill conveyor means aligned with said path and positioned to permit said magazine to index relative thereto along said path with the conveyor means passing into said cells through the wall notches transversely of the notched walls, whereby bills may be withdrawn from said cells serially.
2. Apparatus in accordance with claim 1, wherein said conveyor means comprises a belt conveyor.
3. Apparatus in accordance with claim 1, there being a pair of notches in the walls of each cell and said conveyor means comprising a pair of belt conveyors aligned with the corresponding notches.
4. Apparatus in accordance with claim 1, further comprising means for indexing said cells to align portions of said conveyor means with the individual cells.
5. Apparatus in accordance with claim 4, wherein said indexing means comprises means for aligning said portions of said conveyor means with different regions of each of said cells depending upon whether bills are to be inserted or withdrawn.
6. Apparatus in accordance with claim 5, wherein said indexing means comprises means for aligning said portions of said conveyor means with a central region of each of the cells for insertion of bills and with a side region of each of the cells for withdrawal of bills, whereby during insertion of bills the bills may be dropped freely into the cells and during withdrawal of the bills the bills may be pressed by the conveyor means against a side wall of the cells to produce traction upon the bills.
7. Apparatus in accordance with claim 4, wherein said means for indexing said magazine comprises a rack and pinion drive mechanism.
8. Apparatus in accordance with claim 7, wherein said means for indexing said magazine comprises motor means and cam-operated switch means for de-energizing said motor means.
9. Apparatus in accordance with claim 1, wherein said conveyor means has a bill director associated therewith for directing bills withdrawn from said magazine differently from bills inserted therein.
10. Apparatus in accordance with claim 1, wherein said cells are vertically oriented, said notches extend downwardly from the upper extremities of said cells, and said conveyor means depends into said notches.
