Abstract: Provided is a sliding device which can avoid unintended locking release without depending on an excessive engagement force of an engagement member. The sliding device includes a lock mechanism that locks an upper rail to a lower rail. The lock mechanism includes: an engagement member that shifts in the upper rail between a locking position and a release position; a first urging member that gives an urging force to the engagement member in a direction from the release position to the locking position; and an operation member for shifting the engagement member from the locking position to the release position. The operation member comprises a shift restrictor that keeps the engagement member from shifting to the release position when the engagement member is in the locking position.

Abstract: A money handling method includes: dispensing, by a money handling device, money stored in a storage unit in response to a request by a user, if a predetermined condition is satisfied; refilling, by a second device, the storage unit with money, if the money handling device is used by the user at the time of the start of refill by the second device; suspending the refill by the second device; and performing, by the second device, the suspended refill after the end of use of the money handling device by the user.

Abstract: Provided is a slide device that can prevent rattling of a seat with a simple structure. A slide device includes a lock mechanism for fixing an upper rail to a lower rail. The lock mechanism includes a shaft attached to the upper rail, a lock tooth swingably supported by the shaft, and a wave washer that presses the lock tooth in an axial direction of the shaft. An outer circumferential face of the shaft has an outer tapered face slanted so that the shaft becomes thinner along a direction from a proximal end portion toward a distal end portion. An inner circumferential face of the shaft hole of the lock tooth has an inner tapered face having a slant angle that allows face-to-face contact with the outer tapered face. The wave washer presses the lock tooth in a direction in which the inner tapered face is pressed against the outer tapered face to make face-to-face contact.
