Abstract:
PCT No. PCT/GB92/01809 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 26, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 26, 1994 PCT Filed Oct. 1, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/07590 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 15, 1993The note path of a banknote validator has a U-shaped transverse cross section. A transverse strip of the note path is illuminated by light from a light transmitting station by means of a unitary light guide which has an arcuate portion conforming to the transverse cross section of the note path. Light reflected from a banknote, within the note path, is captured by the light guide and guided to a light receiving station. The light guide is shaped such that a transverse strip of the note path is substantially evenly illuminated. The U-shape of the note path also assists the insertion of notes into the validator, as an inserted note is caused to bow during insertion thereby increasing its rigidity.
