  • Publication number: 20240021039
    Abstract: Provided is a paper sheet storage handling device which allows paper sheets stored in a paper sheet storage to be automatically taken out with a simpler configuration. A paper money storage handling device 300 comprises: a lid unit opening/closing mechanism 410 which moves a lid unit 170 to an open position by moving to a separation position in a state where a lid body 171 is locked; a loading table 450 which receives and loads a paper sheet bundle Bs moved outward from a lateral opening by a paper sheet bundle movement member, in accordance with the movement of the lid unit to an open position while in an elevated standby position, and which is configured to be able to lower to a lowering position from the standby position in a state where the paper sheet bundle is loaded thereon; and a loading table movement mechanism 560 which moves the loading table at the lowering position to a predetermined paper sheet bundle discharge position.

  • Publication number: 20240011330
    Abstract: Provided is a locking/unlocking device having a simpler structure and capable of automatically unlocking a paper sheet storage. The locking/unlocking device comprises: a key unit 330 having a key 331 for locking/unlocking a lock, and a key rotation motor 333 for providing the key with a rotational driving force to lock/unlock the lock; and a key moving mechanism 360 for moving the key unit forward and backward. The key moving mechanism comprises: a rack plate 365 for providing a driving force to the key unit by moving forward and backward between an initial position to allow the key unit to be moved to a spaced position where the key is spaced apart from the lock and a forward position to allow the key unit to be moved to a locking/unlocking position where the key locks/unlocks the lock; and an extension coil spring 371 interposed between the key unit and a driving force providing member.

  • Patent number: 11544986
    Abstract: To prevent erroneous transfer onto a paper sheet loading platform and improve the operation stability over the entire length of a long-edge direction of a pressing member by ensuring a long time during which the pressing member continues to push in a paper sheet alone. To include two rotating bodies 120 and 130 that have recesses 120a and 130a and are rotatable in opposite directions to each other in synchronization with each other, a pressing member 140 that is movable and presses an intermediate portion of a back of a paper sheet forward, a drive mechanism 180, and a paper sheet loading platform 200. The drive mechanism rotates each rotating body by an angle from 195 degrees to 270 degrees in a time period after the pressing member starts to bring a center of the paper sheet into contact with the paper sheet loading platform from an initial state until the pressing member leaves the center of the paper sheet.

  • Patent number: 7192023
    Abstract: A bill handling apparatus has a deposit/withdrawal unit (2) at the upper side of a casing (1), a base unit (3) at the lower side of the casing (1), and intermediate units 4A to 4C. The deposit/withdrawal unit (2) includes a bill introducing mechanism (21), a bill discharging mechanism (23) and a conveying mechanism (29). The base unit (3) includes a bill storage section (31), a conveying mechanism (32) and a taking-in and taking-out mechanism (34). Each intermediate unit (4A) to (4C) includes a bill storage section (41), a conveying mechanism (42), a taking-in and taking-out mechanism (44) and a switcher for switching a bill-moving direction. Elements forming the bill storage sections and transfer mechanisms are made common. Thus, the number of the bill storage sections can be easily increased or decreased, and bills can be taken in and out of each storage section.

  • Patent number: 6889850
    Abstract: A bill handling apparatus has a deposit/withdrawal unit (2) at the inner upper side of a casing (1), a base unit (3) at the inner lower side of the casing (1), and intermediate units (4A-4C) between the units (2) and (3). The deposit/withdrawal unit (2) includes a bill introducing mechanism (21), a bill discharging mechanism (23) and a conveying mechanism (29). The base unit (3) includes a bill storage section (31), a conveying mechanism (32) and a taking-in and taking-out mechanism (34). Each of the intermediate units (4A-4C) includes a bill storage section (41), a conveying mechanism (42), a taking-in and taking-out mechanism (44) and a switcher for switching a bill-moving direction. In this way, the elements forming the bill storage sections and transfer mechanisms are made common, the number of bill storage sections can be increased or decreased easily, and bills can be taken in and out of each storage section.

  • Patent number: 6435329
    Abstract: A movable table is insertably and withdrawably mounted on a casing. A depositing/dispensing mechanism for discriminating the note type and genuineness of a note deposited at the entrance of a conveyance path for conveying the note, feeding the note to a storing end corresponding to the discrimination result, and dispensing note(s) from its storing end by a specified input operation is mounted on the movable table. A controller for calculating a balance by detecting the depositing/dispensing of the notes is also provided. The depositing/dispensing mechanism includes a first mechanism for holding the deposited and dispensed notes before being calculated for the balance and a second mechanism for holding the deposited and dispensed notes after being calculated for the balance. The first and second mechanisms are provided at front and rear sides of the movable table with respect to a drawing direction, respectively.
