Abstract: In a paper sheet storing apparatus housed in a paper sheet handling apparatus, a storage part stores paper sheets. An ejection port ejects a paper sheet of the paper sheets stored in the storage part. A first roller is arranged near the ejection port, and is rotated in a predetermined direction by transmission of rotation caused by drive of a drive shaft so as to send out the paper sheet from the ejection port. A driven shaft is rotated in the predetermined direction following the rotation of the first roller. A second roller is arranged in a position farther from the ejection port than a first roller, and is rotated in the predetermined direction by transmission of rotation of the driven shaft so as to sequentially feed, to the first roller, the paper sheets from a paper sheet positioned in a lowest layer among the paper sheets.

Abstract: A paper sheet handling apparatus includes an insertion slot to which a banknote is inserted, a conveyor mechanism that conveys the paper sheet inserted through an insertion slot, and a corrective member that has an elastic deformation portion designed to contact the paper sheet inserted to the insertion slot and corrects a direction of conveyance of the paper sheet inserted through the insertion slot using the elasticity of the elastic deformation portion. The corrective member is disposed at least on both ends in the width direction of the insertion slot, along a face of the banknote inserted to the insertion slot, or at positions, on a conveyor line for the paper sheet inserted through the insertion slot, facing the ends in the width direction of the insertion slot.

Abstract: A paper sheet storage device includes a supply reel that supplies a rolled tape; a winding drum around which a banknote is wound together with the tape supplied from the supply reel; a first detection unit that detects a supply amount of the tape supplied from the supply reel; and a second detection unit that detects the winding drum of which the outer diameter becomes equal to or larger than a predetermined outer diameter when the banknote is wound around the winding drum together with the tape.

Abstract: An erroneous coin insertion preventive mechanism of a banknote handling machine prevents a user from erroneously inserting a coin (or a token) through a banknote slot of the banknote handling machine. When a coin 28 is erroneously inserted through a banknote slot 17, an erroneous coin insertion preventive mechanism 20 holds the rigid coin 28 by three points of a front end contact part 29 and a rear lower surface contact part 31 formed by a horizontal surface 26 and a conveyance path lower surface part 27, and an upper surface intermediate contact part 32 formed by a lower bent part of a descending slope surface of a conveyance path upper surface part 24, thereby preventing the coin 28 from entering an inside of the device from the banknote slot 17. A gap L is provided between the conveyance path upper surface part 24 and the conveyance path lower surface part 27 so that a banknote bundle 33 of a specified number of flexible banknotes thicker than the coin 28 may pass through the gap in bent form.

Abstract: A reflection plate is integrally formed with a medium guide placed on a side opposite a side on which a reflective photosensor is placed with a conveying path of banknotes between. Light emitted from a light emitting portion of the reflective photosensor is reflected from the reflection plate at the time of the absence of the banknotes so as not to directly return to the reflective photosensor. This prevents the reflective photosensor from erroneously detecting the medium guide at the time of the absence of media on the basis of light reflected from the medium guide. The medium guide and the reflection plate are integrally formed. Accordingly, additional parts or additional assembly is not required and a low-cost medium detector can be realized.
