Abstract: An apparatus for discriminating a printed matter having a discriminating pattern printed thereon, including: a sensor for scanning the printed matter and producing an analog signal corresponding to the discriminating pattern thereof. A timing device is provided for generating periodical timing signals in proportion to the transferring speed of the printed matter. An analog-digital converting device is provided for sampling the analog signal in accordance with the timing signals, and producing a series of digital sampled data.

Abstract: An apparatus for discriminating specified sorts of printed matter is provided with a magnetic sensor reading an identification pattern that is printed on printed matter such as a bill, a check and the like using magnetic ink and outputting a pattern signal; a standard memory part storing a standard signal; and a comparison part comparing the above-mentioned pattern signal with the above-mentioned standard signal in their respective reference positions and also in a position where they are made to offset relatively from those reference positions; whereby the precision in identifying the printed matter is improved.

Abstract: Apparatus for discriminating paper money and stacking the same includes a main body of the apparatus and a stacker box attached thereto detachably by the use of a hooking part and a hanging part provided on the main body and the stacker box, respectively and being able to engage with each other. The main body of the apparatus includes: a passage provided with a transferring roller for transferring paper money, a sensor for discriminating the paper money, and further the passage has a stuffing part for guiding both side parts of the paper money to expose the reverse side of the paper money; and a sending part for sending the paper money through the stuffing part backward.

Abstract: An apparatus for stacking bank notes, including: a main body provided with a passage with a takeout portion for a bank note and a stacker box held thereon and having a master box and a receiving member inside thereof, the master box provided oppositely to the takeout portion with an opening defined between a pair of supporting members on both side thereof, the receiving member being furnished with force toward the supporting members. The apparatus further includes a forcing member movable into the master box across the passage through the opening to a position beyond the supporting members, and a pair of unfolding members protruded from both sides of the forcing member to each side at the above mentioned position at least when the forcing member is moved beyond the supporting members, whereby the bank note is force against the receiving member and then both side portions of the bank note are smoothed out.

Abstract: An apparatus for discriminating authenticity and denomination of paper money bills and stacking the same includes at the transfer passage through which the paper money bills are transferred in an unfolded condition guide pieces which form a pushing-in part which is adjacent the reverse face of the paper money. Sending-out elements are arranged ahead of the guide pieces. The sending-out elements are movably supported and include spaced apart moving pieces, such that when the sending-out elements turn, the moving pieces push the paper money bills into the stacker box and spread them out moving from a front portion of the transfer passage to a rear side of the guide pieces and pushing the pushing-in part while the distance between the moving pieces expands. This structure enables the apparatus to press the paper money into the stacker box and at the same time spread out the paper money.

Abstract: A magnetic card discriminator which is equipped with a card reading part, a registration number memory part, an invalid number memory part, a processing part, and an alarm, and which discriminates whether a card registration number magnetically recorded on a magnetic card is an invalid registration number or not; wherein the card reading part reads the card registration number, the registration number memory part stores the foregoing card registration number having been read, the invalid number memory part has previously stored an invalid registration number of a magnetic card not to be used, the processing part compares the coincidence and non-coincidence of the card registration number having been read out from the registration number memory part with the invalid registration number, and actuates the alarm on the basis of the result of the above comparison such as, for example, the coincidence, and then the alarm makes an alarm signal in the combination of, for example, sound and light.
