Media dispensing unit
Abstract
The present invention relates to media discharging unit for a media dispenser. The present invention includes a delivery module, which selectively feeds media fed from a media box to a discharge position and a reject position one-by-one using belts and rollers. A stacking module is separable from the delivery module, and collects the media, which are fed by the delivery module, one-by-one upon the rotation of a stacking wheel and then feeds the collected media as a stack at one time. A stack delivery module is separable from the stacking module, and clamps the stacked media, which are collected in the stacking module, and feeds the stacked media to a position where a customer can take the media.
