Publication number: 20240054846Abstract: The present invention provides a paper sheet handling device that can calculate the number of paper sheets in a paper sheet batch being transported on a transport route without requiring complicated processing. The paper sheet handling device includes a transport unit that can transport a paper sheet batch, a shifting unit that shifts according to the thickness of the paper sheet batch when the paper sheet batch is transported, a generating unit that generates thickness information based on a shift amount of the shifting unit, a memory unit that memorizes reference information determined based on the thickness of one paper sheet, and a calculating unit that calculates the number of paper sheets in the paper sheet batch from the thickness information and the reference information.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2021Publication date: February 15, 2024Applicant: JAPAN CASH MACHINE CO., LTD.Inventors: Fumihide NISHIMURA, Kazuya UEMURA, Koji YOSHITAKE

Patent number: 10683037Abstract: A side body structure of a vehicle includes a hinge pillar reinforced by a reinforcement having a side surface and a front surface extending inward in the vehicle width direction from the front end of the side surface. The reinforcement is provided with upper and lower gussets for reinforcing a pair of upper and lower hinge mounting portions, respectively, for a side door. The reinforcement has a first bead portion on the side surface between the upper and lower gussets, and has a second bead portion at an edge portion that is a boundary portion between the side surface and the front surface. The second bead portion extends in an up-down direction and is recessed inward at the edge portion continuously from the side surface to the front surface.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2018Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: MAZDA MOTOR CORPORATIONInventors: Akira Iyoshi, Takeshi Nakamura, Koji Yoshitake

Patent number: 10377421Abstract: In a vehicle-body structure in which a roof side rail portion of a side face portion of a vehicle body and a roof reinforcement are connected via a gusset so as to suppress that a center pillar portion comes into a cabin side when a large load is inputted from a vehicle side, a notch portion is provided at the gusset. Thereby, it is suppressed that, when the large load is inputted to the center pillar portion from the vehicle side, the gusset is so bending-deformed by a rotation of the roof side rail portion that a rotational moment caused by the rotation of the roof side rail portion acts on the roof reinforcement, suppressing that the center pillar portion comes into the cabin side.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2018Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: MAZDA MOTOR CORPORATIONInventors: Koji Yoshitake, Toshiyuki Koga, Tomohiro Kadohata

Patent number: 10358175Abstract: A deflector structure of an automobile includes: a liner extended portion covering a lower-surface opening located at a front side of a wheel housing; and a deflector attached to the liner extended portion. The deflector is integrally configured by: a deflector base portion attached to the liner extended portion through a bolt and a resin clip; and a plate-shaped deflector main body extending from a rear end of the deflector base portion to a vehicle lower side and having flexibility and a thickness in a forward/rearward direction. A plurality of rear-surface ribs each extending in an upward/downward direction are formed on a rear surface of the deflector main body at predetermined intervals in a width direction, upper ends of the rear-surface ribs being in contact with a lower surface of the liner extended portion.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2016Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Nobuyuki Shibutake, Koji Yoshitake, Nobuyuki Nakayama, Takashi Fukumaru

Patent number: 10124838Abstract: A deflector comprises a protrusion portion which protrudes downward, including a slant face portion slanting obliquely rearward and downward, and a vertical wall portion which is provided in back of the protrusion portion to extend in a vehicle width direction. A lower end portion of the vertical wall portion is positioned at a lower level than a rear end portion of the slant face portion. The lower end portion of part of the vertical wall portion located inward from the other part of the vertical wall portion located so as to overlap the front wheel in a front view is positioned at a higher level than the lower end portion of the other part of the vertical wall portion located so as to overlap the front wheel in the front view.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2016Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: MAZDA MOTOR CORPORATIONInventors: Nobuyuki Shibutake, Nobuyuki Nakayama, Koji Yoshitake, Akihiro Kawano, Masafumi Aburame
