Abstract
A receipt storage and presenting device is described. The device allows for the storage of various media, such as receipts, slips, forms, labels, tickets, tags, etc. The receipts are introduced into the device by an adjacently disposed printer. The web of the receipt enters the storage and presenting device and is stored within a rib-cage mandrel in an overflow bucket. The device is able to store various lengths of the media up to about twenty feet. The device is then caused to rotate through an angle transverse of the printer discharge direction, which angle is preferably ninety degrees.
