Abstract: A money handling machine (1) according to the present invention includes a hopper (3) from which money is inputted, a money output port (8, 18) from which money is outputted, a recognition unit (5) which recognizes the denomination of the money inputted from the hopper (3), a bundled money storage chamber (35) provided solely for 100-yuan banknotes as a first denomination, a loose money storage chamber (9) which stores money in a loose state, a to-be-bundled money stacking section (15, 16), and a bundling device (17). The 100-yuan banknotes recognized by the recognition unit (5) are transported directly to the to-be-bundled money stacking section (15, 16) through a transport path, bundled into a batch by the bundling device (17), and stored in the bundled money storage chamber (35).

Abstract: A paper-sheet feeding device including a kicker roller configured to contact a forefront paper-sheet of a plurality of stacked paper-sheets and kick out the forefront paper-sheet; a feed roller to feed-out the paper-sheets to be kicked out by the kicker roller; and a press-fitting roller press-fit against the feed roller to provide a gate unit adapted to separate the paper-sheets to be fed by the feed roller, into one sheet. The kicker roller includes a base part and a high friction part formed in part of the outer circumference of the base part along the circumferential direction and configured to kick out the forefront paper-sheet. The feed roller includes a base part and a high friction part formed over the entire outer circumference of the base part and configured to contact the surface of the paper-sheet to be kicked out by the kicker roller to perform feed-out of the paper-sheet.

Abstract: A torque limiter between a pressure roller and shaft, which is configured to allow the pressure roller to rotate in a feed-out direction of a paper-sheet P, relative to the shaft, when a torque greater than a predetermined torque T is applied to the pressure roller along a circumferential direction thereof, while interlocking the pressure roller with the shaft when the torque applied to the pressure roller along the circumferential direction thereof is less than the predetermined torque. Further, the predetermined torque is set less than frictional torque N3 directly generated between a feed roller friction part and a pressure roller friction part at a nip part N, while being set greater than both the frictional torque N1 generated between the pressure roller friction part of the pressure roller and the paper-sheet P at the nip part N and the frictional torque N4 generated between a pair of paper-sheets P at the nip part.

Abstract: An object is improving handling efficiency of a banknote handling apparatus and reducing operator's work load. A banknote handling apparatus has a receiving unit receiving banknotes, a recognition unit recognizing kinds of banknotes, a first, a second, and a reject stacking units stacking banknotes to be bundled, a batch of banknotes, and rejected banknotes, a transport unit transporting banknotes, a bundling unit bundling banknotes to be bundled, a setting unit setting kinds of banknotes, and a controller performing a transport, a bundling, and a batch controls. In the transport control, banknotes are transported to a destination of transport. In the bundling control, banknotes to be bundled are bundled when a predetermined number of banknotes is stacked in the first stacking unit. In the batch control, temporarily stopping or switching destination of transport is performed when a predetermined number of banknotes to be removed as a batch are stacked in the second stacking unit.

Abstract: A sheet storing/feeding device includes a receptacle for holding standing sheets, a stacking and feeding mechanism to successively carry the sheets into the receptacle and to feed a forefront sheet out of the receptacle. A pushing member configured to be optionally advanced and retracted is provided on the side of the forefront sheet in the receptacle, and a holding member is provided to be in contact with a backmost sheet in the receptacle. A retaining member is provided to be optionally advanced and retracted relative to a storage space defined between the stacking and feeding mechanism and the holding member. The retaining member, when advanced, can hold the sheets in the receptacle between the retaining member and the holding member so as to bring them into a temporary holding state, while, when retracted, can release the paper-sheets in the temporary holding state.

Abstract: A torque limiter between a pressure roller and shaft, which is configured to allow the pressure roller to rotate in a feed-out direction of a paper-sheet P, relative to the shaft, when force greater than predetermined torque T is applied to the pressure roller along a circumferential direction thereof, while interlocking the pressure roller with the shaft, when the force applied to the pressure roller along the circumferential direction thereof is less than the predetermined torque. The predetermined torque is set less than frictional force N3 directly generated between a feed roller friction part and a pressure roller friction part at a nip part N, while being set greater than both of frictional force N1 generated between the pressure roller friction part of the pressure roller and the paper-sheet P at the nip part N and frictional force N4 generated between a pair of paper-sheets P at the nip part.

Abstract: The present invention provides a coin arranging/conveying apparatus that is capable of reliably conveying coins one at a time into a coin passage unit even if there is such a great difference in diameter or thickness of coins. A first gate portion is defined by a separation roller, an arranging/conveying surface of an arranging/conveying belt, and a movable roller. The movable roller faces the underside of the arranging/conveying surface of the arranging/conveying belt. A second gate portion is defined by a coin passage upstream end roller, and the portion of a transfer belt wrapped around the coin passage upstream end roller. Coins are arranged in a single layer in single file by means of the first gate portion, as well as the second gate portion.
