Abstract: A paper sheet handling apparatus capable of effectively preventing a photodetector from malfunctioning due to external light is provided. The present invention is a paper sheet handling apparatus including a paper sheet handling port, a projector for emitting light within the paper sheet handling port, a photodetector for receiving the light emitted from the projector, and a light-shielding body that is formed along an optical path from the projector towards the photodetector and shields the photodetector against external light; wherein a projector-side end of the light-shielding body is formed to be retracted from an incident direction of the external light towards the photodetector.

Abstract: A cash automatic transaction device capable of, upon storage of a banknote sent from a depositing/dispensing port in a banknote storage box, or upon accumulation of a banknote sent from the banknote storage box in the depositing/dispensing port, preventing the occurrence of trouble such as paper jam or poor posture. The cash automatic transaction device has a depositing/dispensing port used for depositing/dispensing of banknotes, and a banknote storage box for storage of deposited/dispensed banknotes. The depositing/dispensing port has depositing/dispensing space to store the deposited/dispensed banknotes, and accumulation space in which the banknote is accumulated upon dispensing. The width of the depositing/dispensing space is smaller than the exit and entrance width of the storage box, while the width of the accumulation space is greater than the exit and entrance width of the storage box.

Abstract: Feed rollers, stopper rollers situated on both outer sides with respect to the feed rollers, each of the stopper rollers having part of the periphery being a highly frictional portion compared with other peripheral portions, and a flexible, radial member in a position on an inner side with respect to the stopper rollers are disposed on a feed roller shaft; and the highly frictional portions of the stopper rollers are in positions at which phases of the highly frictional portions are the same as phases of highly frictional portions of the feed rollers in a rotational direction respectively. On a pick roller shaft, pick rollers, which have highly frictional portions for passing a paper sheet to a paper sheet running-out section, and have flexible, radial members in positions at a side opposite to the highly frictional portions, are disposed in the same or inside positions in an axial direction with respect to both the outside stopper rollers disposed on the feed roller shaft.

Abstract: The invention provides a bill receiving and paying apparatus which has a function capable of replenishing and retracting the bill in correspondence to a lot of money kinds, secures the bill capacity without enlarging the apparatus, and has an improved maintenance characteristic and an improved operability. A recycle cassette per a money kind and a reject cassette are arranged in parallel in a depth direction as seen from a front face of a bill receiving and paying apparatus, a replenishment/retract cassette is arranged in a vertically laminated direction with respect to the recycle cassette and the reject cassette, the reject cassette is arranged in a front face side or a rear face side of the recycle cassette in correspondence to an operation and maintenance aspect of the apparatus.

Abstract: A fixed driving roller shaft not actuated vertically is disposed facing a sheet-reading sensor. Low-hardness sensor-opposed rollers each having a fixed clearance with respect to the sheet-reading sensor are arranged at positions opposed thereto. Transport rollers harder than the sensor-opposed rollers are arranged at positions not opposed to the sheet-reading sensor. The opposed sections of the transport rollers are formed into the sheet-transporting and sensor-opposed roller construction that has tension rollers arranged at the positions where the tension rollers come into contact with the associated transport rollers.
