Abstract

Disclosed is an improved automated dispensing apparatus for flat paper object, such as ATM (Automated Teller Machines) or CD (Cash Dispensers), which can enhance the working efficiency and the service for customers. According to this apparatus, inner cassette 5 can be drawn out together with intermediate portion pushing member 12 leaving outer cassette 4 at a fixed position in the dispenser main body. While intermediate portion pushing member 12 is filled with supplementary sheet papers, the sheet papers 8 still remaining in outer cassette 4 are kept to be pushed by end portion pushing members 11a, 11b. Thereafter, when inner cassette 5 is returned into outer cassette 4, both the end portion pushing members 11a, 11b and the intermediate portion pushing member 12 are returned to the initial state for dispensing a new pile of sheet papers 8 including the supplementary ones. During that supplementation, the sheet paper dispensing operation by this apparatus can be continued without any interruption. Thus, when the supplementation of sheet papers into the paper cassette is required due to reduction of sheet papers remaining therein, the inner cassette can be drawn out leaving the outer cassette at a fixed position in the dispenser main body with the end portion pushing members working to push both end portions of the remaining sheet papers and dispense them sheet by sheet from the paying outlet. Therefore, the dispensing operation of this apparatus can be continued even on supplementing the sheet papers.
