Abstract: A bill paying machine of a type to be disposed between two operators and used in common by them. Two paying outlets are arranged side by side on the front portion of the bill paying machine. The bills are transferred from bill containers of the bill paying machine to a position near the paying outlets. In that position, a distributing device is provided for receiving the bills and transferring the bills to one of the paying outlets in response to an instruction by the operator. The distributing device comprises a horizontally movable receiving plate for receiving the bills thereon and directing the bills to one of the paying outlets. Vertically and horizontally movable bill holding plates are provided above the receiving plate for holding the bills between the receiving plate and bill-holding plates.

Abstract: An apparatus for accumulating and delivering paper sheets for use with a bank note dispenser including a paddle wheel for receiving paper sheets among swirling paddles provided on the paddle wheel and supporting the paper sheets thereon, a scraper for scraping the paper sheets away from the swirling paddles, an alignment plate for aligning the paper sheets above the paddle wheel, and lower and upper delivering rollers for cooperating to deliver, at one time the accumulated paper sheets as a whole in a horizontal direction. The two lower delivery rollers, are raised upwardly to horizontally support the accumulated paper sheets and are rotatably driven to deliver the paper sheets. The two upper delivery rollers are lowered to resiliently clamp the paper sheets between the lower rollers and upper rollers and are rotatably driven to deliver the paper sheets.

Abstract: A feed-out roller and a friction member are disposed to form a gap therebetween, through which bills are fed out, one at a time. A gap adjusting mechanism is provided for changing the size of the gap by moving the friction member relative to the feed-out roller. A pressure sensor detects pressure acting on the friction member to generate a pressure signal. The gap is adjusted on the basis of the pressure signal.

Abstract: A device for carrying bank notes stacked in each of the container boxes to be inserted in an automatic money depositing and disbursing machine.The device carries the bank note stack while controlling the upper surface thereof at a pre-set level to render the related money stacking or dispensing means to gain access to the bank notes, when the device is inserted in position in the automatic money depositing and disbursing machine.

Abstract: A coin checking device is provided in a coin handling machine for discriminating genuine coins from counterfeit. The coin checking device includes detection coils comprising a transmitting coil for generating an exciting voltage and a receiving coil for generating an induced voltage. The detection coils detect the passage of each coin and sequentially issue signals. The coin checking device also includes a controller which may be a computer. The controller receives signals from the detection coils and makes calculations on the basis of the values of the signals in accordance with a stored program to obtain a reference value. In the controller, the reference value is then compared with a predetermined acceptable value and the degree of any difference in the value thus obtained determines whether the coin is genuine or counterfeit. The reference value in the controller is constantly renewed on the basis of new signal inputs into the controller.

Abstract: Herein disclosed in a paper sheet counting machine which comprises: position detecting means for detecting that suction tubes are in a stand-by position and in a start position; vacuum pressure detecting means for detecting the vacuum pressure prevailing in the suction tubes; and a control unit for driving and controlling a counter motor, a holder motor and a pump motor in response to signals which are fed from the position detecting means and the vacuum pressure detecting means. When the holder is in an open position, the suction tube is set in the stand-by position. After the holder is set in a closed position, the suction tube is then set in the start position to block and seal its inside from the outside. Then, a vacuum pump is driven so that the counting operations are started when the vacuum pressure in the suction tube reaches a predetermined level.
