Abstract:

A coin bag storage apparatus including a bag storage cassette tower having a compartment sized to store a plurality of bags, one on top of the next, and a spring-mounted platen located within the storage compartment for receiving each of the bags and progressively lowering a first bag into the compartment as a second bag is placed upon the first bag. In response to addition or removal of a bag, the spring-mounted platen is designed to automatically raise or lower the platen by the thickness of a bag. The cassette tower is further adapted to cooperate in an integrated handling and storage system comprising a dolly, a transport cart, and a storage cabinet cooperating to facilitate easy transportation and secure storage of the loaded cassette towers.
