Appeal No. 1999-1722 Application No. 08/729,602 discloses a single bill acceptance slot 24 and no means for separating bills of different denominations. Accordingly, we conclude that the subject matter recited in independent claims 1, 20 and 21, as well as dependent claims 2 to 12 and 22 to 25, is patentable over the combination of Legras and Wahlberg. 6Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
