Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Bank notes placed in a tray (13) are slid into an enclosure (10) whereupon a , lever (15) is operated to drive down a plunger (17) which opens flaps (21 22) , in the bottom of the tray to displace the notes into a carrier (12) in a lower part of the enclosure. The carrier (12) has snap-fitted into its top a frame (107) which also has flaps (21A, 22A) which deflect downward as the money enters a bag (108) provided by elasticated material which spans the frame (107). Thereafter a cover plate (111) seals the frame (107) which can then be removed from the carrier (12) to be transported e.g. to a bank.

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 28, 2001. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended August 28, 2021.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 28, 2023.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
