Abstract: An operation knob that turns a drum is exposed at the outer side of a left side face of a temporary holding section, and a knob cover is disposed at the outer side of the operation knob. When an opening guide of the temporary holding section is in a closed state and is closed onto the upper side of the drum, the knob cover is put into a covering state, via a stud, preventing operation of the operation knob. When the opening guide of the temporary holding section is turned in an opening direction from the closed state and opens apart from the upper side of the drum, the knob cover is turned in an exposing direction by the action of a spring and put into an exposing state.

Abstract: A temporary holding section includes bridge portions that span along a shaft direction across respective groove portions of a drum at plural discrete locations around the drum circumferential direction. The temporary holding section can accordingly prevent an outer tape and an inner tape from slipping off into the groove portions, enabling damage to the tapes to be forestalled. The temporary holding section can also precisely determine the presence or absence of a banknote by shining a drum detection light toward the groove portions so as to pass through opening hole portions.
