Abstract: A bill processing machine according to the present invention includes a control portion that controls a pair of first and second sensor units. The control portion performs: a first process in which first and second reflected lights of one face of a bill are detected sequentially by first and second reflection sensors of the first sensor unit, respectively; a second process in which third and fourth reflected light of an other face of the bill are detected sequentially by first and second reflection sensors of the second sensor unit, respectively; and a third process in which first and second transmitted lights in one direction of the bill are detected by the first and second reflection sensors of the first sensor unit, respectively, and third and fourth transmitted lights in an other direction of the bill is detected by the first and second reflection sensor of the second sensor unit, respectively.

Abstract: A bill processing machine according to the present invention includes an element array portion and a light guiding member. The element array portion is arranged so as to face one side of a conveyance path of a bill, and includes a light receiving element group, a light emitting element and an other side light receiving element. The light receiving element group includes a plurality of light receiving elements, and an arrangement direction of the light receiving elements is perpendicular to a conveyance direction of a bill. The light emitting element is arranged on one side of the arrangement direction of the light receiving elements. The other side light receiving element is arranged on an other side of the arrangement direction of the light receiving elements. The light guiding member is arranged opposite to the element array portion with respect to the conveyance path so that the light guiding member and the element array portion sandwiches the conveyance path therebetween.

Abstract: A health state management device manages information on a state of health of a driver of transportation equipment. An authentication portion authenticates the driver, and a health state judgment portion measures blood component data of the driver authenticated by the authentication portion. The health state judgment portion judges the state of health of the driver using the blood component data. A decision portion decides whether or not to permit operation of the transportation equipment based on a judgment result of the health state judgment portion, and a storage portion stores the judgment result of the health state judgment portion and a decision result of the decision portion in association with driver identification information of the driver.

Abstract: In a banknote handling device, a banknote storage cassette is loaded along guide grooves in left and right side plates, whereby the bottom end of a bill press interlocks with protruding members of the banknote storage cassette, preventing the banknote storage cassette from exiting the guide grooves, and, by sliding a lid of the banknote storage cassette, accumulated banknotes which are stored therein are transferred to a mounting plate while a free-sliding plate member inside a storage space of the banknote storage cassette presses the accumulated banknotes downward, the accumulated banknotes being separated one by one and conveyed down a transport path by a kick-out roller, a feeding roller, and a separating roller.

Abstract: A coin deposit apparatus has a carriage section having castors detachable from a apparatus main body, and a carriage-locking section which can lock the carriage section attached to the apparatus main body so that a plurality of container sections are mounted onto the carriage section. A shutter which can open and close an upper aperture and a closed position locking member which locks the shutter at the closed position are provided to each one of a plurality of the container sections. A shutter-locking activating section which moves the shutter of a plurality of the container sections mounted onto the carriage section to a closed position and locks the shutter at the closed position by the closed position locking member is disposed in the apparatus main body. By doing this, it is possible to provide the coin deposit apparatus which can prevent problems in security management.
