  • Patent number: 7191937
    Abstract: A sensor for executing simple discrimination is provided on a transfer path immediately after a cash inlet of a cash depository. The sensor detects a position of a bill in a transfer direction, a width of the bill in a direction orthogonal to the transfer direction, thereby outputting detection results to a controller. The controller calculates a degree of a slant of the bill and the width of the bill, thereby determining whether or not those values are in excess of reference values. If the controller determines that the degree of the slant and the width of the bill are in excess of the reference values, the transfer direction of the transfer path is changed over to coincide with a direction opposite to a normal direction by reverse-rotating a motor.

  • Publication number: 20050139447
    Abstract: Papers that are put in a depositing section are fed and conveyed one by one, and discriminated.

  • Publication number: 20050116407
    Abstract: Different paper sheets such as banknotes and paper moneys are inserted into a plurality of insertion parts. The paper sheets inserted into the respective insertion parts are run out one by one, and carried on the same carrying route. The run-out paper sheet is judged during the carriage thereof. According to the judgment result, a carrying destination thereof is determined, and then the paper sheet is carried and accommodated into the determined carrying destination.

  • Patent number: 6789682
    Abstract: A paper processing apparatus feeds papers one by one from the first cassette for storing papers to be delivered to the outside, conveys the fed papers on the first conveyance path to store them in a predetermined temporary storing section, and then delivers the stored papers in a block through a paper delivery aperture to the outside. Also, the paper processing apparatus leads papers having difficulties with delivery after being fed from the first cassette, to the second conveyance path which is a divergent path of the first conveyance path, and stores the led papers in the second cassette. The paper processing apparatus further comprises the third conveyance path for receiving papers coming from the outside and transmitting them to the first conveyance path.

  • Patent number: 6357598
    Abstract: A paper sheet manipulating apparatus and a paper sheet transaction apparatus for manipulating paper sheets such as bills has an inlet/outlet port allowing input and output of paper sheets and rotating between the paper sheets inlet position and the paper sheet feeding position; a separating device projected to the outlet port and drawn back to the draw-back position, distinguished, when projected, the paper sheets inputted to the inlet port and the paper sheets to be returned and accommodate the paper sheets into the outlet port; an accommodation section for accommodating the paper sheets; a temporary storing section for temporarily storing the paper sheets which should not be accommodated in the accommodation section or should not be exhausted and a plurality of cassettes for feeding and collecting the paper sheets in the accommodation section and for feeding and collecting the paper sheets in the outlet port, whereby few faults are generated and manipulations can be continued at a high speed for a long peri
