  • Patent number: 8297427
    Abstract: A banknote handling apparatus includes multiple units each for banknote receiving, disbursing, and the like, and a conveyance drum. Multiple pressure rollers are each pressed against an outer surface of the drum. A circling route for banknote conveyance, having a discrimination sensor, is formed around the outer surface of the drum. The units are connected to the circling conveyance route by their respective interconnecting route for banknote conveyance. A route changer is provided for conducting route changes from the circling conveyance route to each interconnecting conveyance route, and vice versa. A rotational direction of a rotary drum during the conveyance of a banknote into either of the units, and a rotational direction of the drum during the conveyance of a banknote into either of the units arranged at an opposite side from the units in a diametral direction of the conveyance drum, are also made opposite to each other.

  • Patent number: 8147342
    Abstract: Internal dimensions for fixed-type constant velocity universal joints are defined to optimize the geometry of the components of the joints and to readily achieve a larger operating angle of the joints. In the joint, the track grooves of an outer ring and an inner ring are tapered by an angle not exceeding 12°. The ratio (f/PCR) of the cage offset amount f to PCR is greater than 0 and smaller than or equal to 0.12. The ratio (Do/d) of the cage outer diameter (Do) to the ball diameter (d), the ratio (t/d) of the cage wall thickness (t) to the ball diameter (d), and the ratio (w/d) of the cage width (w) to the ball diameter (d) are such that 3.9?Do/d?4.1, 0.31?t/d?0.34, and 1.8?w/d?2.0, respectively. The end of the spherical outer surface of the cage adjacent to the open end is axially extended, and the end of the spherical inner surface of the cage adjacent to the open end is tapered so that the tapered surface has an increasing diameter toward the end of the spherical outer surface adjacent to the open end.

  • Patent number: 8127914
    Abstract: The change replenishment management system includes a coin roll storage (1), a coin change dispenser (3), and a POS register (5). A control unit (16) of the storage (1) detects the presence and the denomination of a coin roll in a storage section of each drawer (11, 12, 13) in accordance with an output signal generated from a detection system (18), and transmits the result of detection to the coin change dispenser (3). When loose coins obtained by unpacking removed coin rolls, which are removed from the storage (1), are introduced into an inlet (30), a control unit (36 or 50) of the change dispenser (3) or register (5) compares the denomination and the number of the loose coins, which are detected by identification unit (31), with the denomination and the number of the removed coin roll determined on the basis of the detection result transmitted from the storage (1), and judging the correspondence therebetween.

  • Patent number: 7789212
    Abstract: A change complement and control system according to the present invention comprises a coin-roll storage 1, a money handling machine 3 and a control unit 5. This system is adapted for calculating the number of coin rolls of each denomination newly stored in each coin-roll drawer 11, 12, 13, in a period of time after a first indication is sent and before a second indication is sent by an operator from user indication portions 50a, 50b of the control unit 5. An instruction portion 52 is adapted for providing an instruction, such that money equivalent to the newly stored coin rolls, among the money stored in a money storage portion (i.e., a coin storage portion 106 or banknote storage portion 206), is released from a money releasing portion (i.e., a coin disbursing slot 116 or banknote disbursing slot 216), when the second indication is sent.
