Abstract: There is provided a note counting machine wherein a counter is provided on the top side of the machine body for counting notes one at a time which comprises, a machine body, a counter on the top side of the machine body for counting notes one at a time a dust collector provided within the machine body, an openable upper cover mounted therewithin with a case member and pivotably mounted on the top side of the machine body so that when the upper cover is closed, the case member is engaged with the dust collector in alignment therewith to cause dust attached to the note to be transferred from the notes to the dust collector through the case member.

Abstract: There is provided a sealing device for use in a note counting machine. A note holder which has a note supporting plate with an arcuate slot is mounted on a rotary shaft. A supporting arm having a cylinder portion in which a seal impression holder is vertically movable through the arcuate slot is pivotably mounted on the rotary shaft. A seal impression holder driving means drives the seal impression holder through the movement of the supporting arm just after the counting has been completed.

Abstract: A leaves counting machine comprising a rotor having a plurality of suction heads arranged on a rotary disc. Leaves are counted by drawing and turning over them one by one by the suction heads in the course of rotation of the rotor. Changes in a suction pressure during the suction of leaves onto the suction heads are detected by a pressure transducer and the counting is executed by the use of pulses detected by the pressure transducer.

Abstract: A sheet separating machine comprises a rotary disc fixed on a shaft extending through a reciprocating pump and having a suction hole communicating with the pump. The pump is actuated by a vertical motion of the shaft so that the uppermost one of the sheet or leaves is sucked through suction hole onto the rotary disc. The rotary disc is provided with a sheet or leaf scraping-up piece adjacent a sector notch formed therein. The leaf scraping-up piece is inserted between the sucked leaf and the remaining leaves in the course of rotation of the rotary disc to lift up the leaf through the notch onto the rotary disc.
