Publication number: 20200369482Abstract: A paper sheet separation device includes a separation roller coming into contact with paper sheets, a feed roller rotating with respect to the separation roller to convey the paper sheets separately one by one, and a pair of guide members having guide faces coming into sliding contact with a front end of the paper sheets and being provided on both sides in an axial direction of the separation roller. A friction coefficient of the guide face is smaller than a friction coefficient of a peripheral face of the separation roller. The guide face is provided protruding outward of the separation roller from the peripheral face of the separation roller in a radial direction of the separation roller. The guide face is supported to be able to move inward in the radial direction of the separation roller at a contact point between the separation roller and the feed roller.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2020Publication date: November 26, 2020Applicant: FUJITSU FRONTECH LIMITEDInventors: Atsushi ANDO, Kazuhiko KAWASE, Kazuto KITANO, Mitsushige NAKAO

Paper sheet handling apparatus, automatic transaction apparatus, and paper sheet conveying apparatus
Patent number: 7404552Abstract: Paper sheets or the like inserted in a bundled state from the outside are conveyed in that state to an advancing section. Then, the paper sheets or the like, advanced on sheet by sheet basis from the advancing section, are conveyed to temporary holding section and received there. The reception of the paper sheets or the like, received in the temporary holding section in a stacked manner, is made by conveying them in a bundled state from the advancing section and advancing them on sheet by sheet basis.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2006Date of Patent: July 29, 2008Assignees: Fujitsu Limited, NCR CorporationInventors: Hayami Abe, Kazuto Kitano, Hayato Minamishin, Hiroshi Miyazaki -

Patent number: 6386445Abstract: A medium issuing apparatus using at least a paper roll medium and an automatic teller machine including the apparatus are disclosed, in which the operation of changing the width of the paper rolls for issuing a medium, the maximum diameter of the paper rolls, the printing surface and the tandem arrangement or juxtaposition of the paper rolls is performed with a single apparatus. The medium issuing apparatus is so configured that the paper rolls are held on a replaceable holding frame, the roll paper from the desired paper roll is transported and printed in a common printing mechanism. The printed roll paper is cut off and a predetermined number of cut pieces are stored and bundled in a temporary storage section. The roll paper cut off and bundled are transported to a common ejection opening by a transport mechanism, and ejected from the same common ejection opening by another transport mechanism. The outer diameter, width and winding direction of the paper rolls can be changed by the holding frame.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2001Date of Patent: May 14, 2002Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Masayuki Imai, Kazuto Kitano, Mitsushige Nakao
