An apparatus and method for conveying absorbent articles may utilize a conveyor including a vacuum source in fluid connection with a deck. The deck may include a channel. The conveyor may include a belt having a first surface, an opposing second surface, and an aperture. The second surface of the belt may be in facing relationship with the deck such that the aperture is aligned with the channel. A first row of angled teeth and a second row of angled teeth may be connected with the second surface of the belt. The first row of angled teeth and the second row of angled teeth mesh with a first gear member and a second gear member, respectively. The first and second gear members may be attached to an axle member such that the first gear member and the second gear member rotate with the axle member to advance the belt.

The present disclosure provides a teller cash recycler. The teller cash recycler includes a vault unit configured to store bills; a handling unit, provided at an upper portion of the vault unit, movable to a front side and a rear side of the vault unit, through which bills are deposited and withdrawn; a driving gear unit, provided at a lower portion of the handling unit, including a plurality of driving gears; a driven gear unit, provided at the upper portion of the vault unit, including a plurality of driven gears to which a driving force from the driving gears is transmitted; one or more swing arms, at which at least one of the driven gears is installed, configured to rotate by movement of the handling unit; and an interference unit, provided at the swing arm, configured to apply a rotational moment to the swing arm while being pushed by a handling unit.

Provided is a conveying apparatus, including: a conveying roller that conveys a recording medium; a first helical gear that rotates integrally with the conveying roller; a gear unit that engages with the first helical gear and generates a thrust force to the conveying roller. The gear unit includes a second helical gear and a third helical gear, and a thrust force that the conveying roller receives from the second helical gear acts in an opposite direction of a thrust force that the conveying roller receives from the third helical gear.

A folding or interfolding unit of a plurality of sheets of paper comprising a first and a second folding or interfolding roll to fold, or interfold, the plurality of sheets of paper according to a predetermined folding or interfolding configuration, at a folding or interfolding zone. Each folding or interfolding roll comprises a tubular body which rotates about a longitudinal rotation axis oriented along a horizontal direction and a plurality of gripping groups integral in rotation with the tubular body. Each gripping group comprises a mechanical gripping member configured to move, at a gripping point, from a releasing configuration to a gripping configuration, where is arranged to mechanically hold the, or each, sheet up to a releasing point having a second angular position.
