  • Patent number: 8725297
    Abstract: A sheet paper storage and dispensing device stores and dispenses sheet paper, and includes a first reel drum onto which a tape is wound; a second reel drum on which sheet paper is stored; a motor which drives the first and second reel drums via a drive system; an electromagnetic clutch which switches between transmitting and interrupting drive force from the drive system; an electromagnetic brake which applies a brake to the drive system; a trigger sensor which detects supplying of the sheet paper; a tape speed detection section which detects a transporting speed at the intake/discharge port; a motor speed variation control unit which controls changes in a rotation speed; and a winding control unit which causes winding by controlling the electromagnetic clutch so as to transmit the driving force when supplying of the sheet paper to the intake/discharge port is detected by the trigger sensor.

  • Publication number: 20100100245
    Abstract: A sheet paper storage and dispensing device according to the present invention stores and dispenses sheet paper, and includes: a first reel drum onto which a tape is wound from one side of the tape; a second reel drum on which sheet paper is stored by winding the tape thereon from an opposite side of the tape in a state in which the tape and sheet paper supplied from an external sheet paper transporting section to an intake/discharge port are mutually superimposed; a motor which drives the first reel drum and the second reel drum via a drive system; an electromagnetic clutch which switches between transmitting and interrupting drive force from the drive system; an electromagnetic brake which applies a brake to the drive system; a trigger sensor which detects supplying of the sheet paper from the sheet paper transporting section to the intake/discharge port; a tape speed detection section which detects a transporting speed of the tape at the intake/discharge port; a motor speed variation control unit which con

  • Patent number: 7490823
    Abstract: A paper sheet storage and payout device, which, by winding and unwinding tape between a first take-up drum on which the tape is wound from one end, and a second take-up drum on which the tape is wound from the other end, with paper sheets placed thereupon, stores and pays out paper sheets. A separation mechanism is provided on the payout side of the tape from the second take-up drum, and during payout separates the paper sheets from the wrapping peripheral region of the tape wrapped around the second take-up drum. This separation mechanism is provided with a separation member which separates paper sheets from the wrapping peripheral region, and a sliding portion which holds the separation member, and which slides so as to track the amount of tape wrapped around the second take-up drum by bring into contact with the wrapping peripheral region a guide roller.

  • Patent number: 4790526
    Abstract: A bill accumulating wheel is disposed downstream of a bill conveying passage. A sensor detects the passage of the bill through a predetermined position in the conveying passage and a sensor generates a signal indicating the passage of each blade of the accumulating wheel through a predetermined position. The accumulating wheel is driven at a speed calculated by data obtained from the sensors so that the bill does not collide against the blade of the accumulating wheel.
