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.

Abstract: There is provided a banknote discrimination device including transport rollers (203), (204), (205), and (206) configured to transport a banknote, transport guides (217a) and (218a) configured to form a transport surface of the banknote, sensors (211), (212), (213), and (214) configured to detect data regarding the banknote, and glass integrated resin-molded units configured to include glasses (210g) (211g), (212g), and (213g) forming the transport surface of the banknote at a time of detection of the data and resin members (210m), (211m), (212m), and (213m) covering peripheries of the glasses (210g) (211g), (212g), and (213g). The resin members (210m), (211m), (212m), and (213m) included in the glass integrated resin-molded units and the transport guides (217a) and (218a) are molded to be integrated.

Abstract: An apparatus includes one-side reels rotatably arranged, one-side tapes wound around the one-side reels, a drum arranged to rotate in one direction to wind and store a medium with the medium being laid over the one-side tapes and in an opposite direction to pull out the wound medium, and retainers opposed to the one-side tapes with respect to the medium wound by or pulled out from the drum for abutting against a surface of the medium to hold the medium, the one-side tapes having a tape width shorter than the width of the medium corresponding to the length of the medium in a direction perpendicular to a transfer direction of the medium, the one-side tapes being arranged in parallel and spaced with a spacing shorter than the width of the medium in a direction of the width of the medium to abut against another surface of the medium.

Abstract: A medium stocking apparatus includes a housing having an open area, reels on which tapes are wound, a diverting unit for turning backward the tapes, a cylindrical drum on which a medium is wound with the tapes overlaid, and an openable unit for closing and opening an internal space from and to outside. During an operation, a closed state can be retained, and, during a maintenance work, an open state can be achieved, in which the openable unit is rotated in an upward direction for displacing upper tapes. The medium stocking apparatus can thus be offered which allows a maintenance work with high workability without impairing the tapes.
