Abstract: A common bundling tape (T) to be used for bundling bank notes of different denominations is held in a tape reel (14). A printing mechanism (21) is disposed on a tape feed passage (20) to print the bundling tape (T) with a mark indicating the denomination of bank notes. The printing mechanism (21) prints a mark indicating the denomination of bank notes of a bank note stack (P) on the substantially whole part of the outermost layer of the bundling tape bundling the bank notes when the bundling tape is fed. After winding the printed bundling tape (T) round the bank note stack (P), a tape carrying system (17) is reversed to take up a slack in the bundling tape (T) wound round the bank note stack (P) and tighten the bundling tape (T). Subsequently, a tape cutter (10) cuts off the bundling tape (T) not used for bundling the bank note stack (P) and heat-bonding member (13) heat-bonds together superposed leading and trailing end parts of the bundling tape (T) bundling the bank note stack (P).

Abstract: An apparatus for reversing a sheet, such as a banknote, from a front face to a rear face. In the reversing apparatus a first end of a common path communicates with an exit of a first conveyance path, a second end of common path communicates with an exit of a second conveyance path, and the first end of common path communicates with a merging path. Since the merging path is immediately after the common path, no delay is caused in the timing of feeding a banknote into the next processing step, improving reversing process performance. A first reversing roller rotates based on the on or off condition of a first electromagnetic clutch and a second reversing roller rotates based on or off condition of a second electromagnetic clutch. A banknote can be quickly and surely conveyed in the common path.

Abstract: Apparatus for reversing a sheet such as a banknote from a front face to a rear face, and vice versa. A reversing apparatus 1 is constructed on the basis of a path configuration wherein one end of common path S communicates with an exit of a first conveyance path 6, the other end of common path S communicates with an exit of a second conveyance path 7, and the one end of common path S communicates with a merging path 8. Since this path arrangement is provided with the merging path 8 immediately after the common path S, no delay is caused in the timing of feeding a banknote R into the next processing step. As a result, an improvement is made in reversing process performance. Furthermore, first reversing roller 21 undergoes rotation based on on/off of first electromagnetic clutch 23 and, likewise, second reversing roller 22 also undergoes rotation based on on/off of second electromagnetic clutch 27. Thus, the banknote R can be quickly and surely conveyed in the common path S.

Abstract: A note sorting and counting apparatus includes a draw-out unit for drawing out in succession notes accumulated in a stack, a discrimination unit for discriminating at least denomination of notes drawn out by the draw-out unit, a sorting unit for sorting notes according to the denomination of notes on the basis of the denomination discriminated by the discrimination unit, a plurality of temporary reserving units for temporarily reserving the notes sorted by the sorting unit according to the denomination of note, a judgement or determining unit for judging or determining whether the temporary reserving units are filled with notes, a corresponding plurality of containers for receiving notes accommodated in the temporary reserving unit according to the denomination of the stacked notes, and a control unit for causing the transfer of notes reserved in the temporary reserving units to their respective containers.
