Patent number: 8297427Abstract: A banknote handling apparatus includes multiple units each for banknote receiving, disbursing, and the like, and a conveyance drum. Multiple pressure rollers are each pressed against an outer surface of the drum. A circling route for banknote conveyance, having a discrimination sensor, is formed around the outer surface of the drum. The units are connected to the circling conveyance route by their respective interconnecting route for banknote conveyance. A route changer is provided for conducting route changes from the circling conveyance route to each interconnecting conveyance route, and vice versa. A rotational direction of a rotary drum during the conveyance of a banknote into either of the units, and a rotational direction of the drum during the conveyance of a banknote into either of the units arranged at an opposite side from the units in a diametral direction of the conveyance drum, are also made opposite to each other.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2005Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: Glory Ltd.Inventors: Yoshiro Oie, Hiroshi Tone, Ryuichi Tabata

Patent number: 8127914Abstract: The change replenishment management system includes a coin roll storage (1), a coin change dispenser (3), and a POS register (5). A control unit (16) of the storage (1) detects the presence and the denomination of a coin roll in a storage section of each drawer (11, 12, 13) in accordance with an output signal generated from a detection system (18), and transmits the result of detection to the coin change dispenser (3). When loose coins obtained by unpacking removed coin rolls, which are removed from the storage (1), are introduced into an inlet (30), a control unit (36 or 50) of the change dispenser (3) or register (5) compares the denomination and the number of the loose coins, which are detected by identification unit (31), with the denomination and the number of the removed coin roll determined on the basis of the detection result transmitted from the storage (1), and judging the correspondence therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2011Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Glory Ltd.Inventors: Ryuichi Tabata, Hiroshi Tone, Yoshiro Oie, Takahiro Washizu, Mikito Imai, Yumiko Imai, legal representative, Koichi Nishida, Tsutomu Iwata, Kazuyuki Shimizu

Patent number: 7789212Abstract: A change complement and control system according to the present invention comprises a coin-roll storage 1, a money handling machine 3 and a control unit 5. This system is adapted for calculating the number of coin rolls of each denomination newly stored in each coin-roll drawer 11, 12, 13, in a period of time after a first indication is sent and before a second indication is sent by an operator from user indication portions 50a, 50b of the control unit 5. An instruction portion 52 is adapted for providing an instruction, such that money equivalent to the newly stored coin rolls, among the money stored in a money storage portion (i.e., a coin storage portion 106 or banknote storage portion 206), is released from a money releasing portion (i.e., a coin disbursing slot 116 or banknote disbursing slot 216), when the second indication is sent.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2007Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: Glory Ltd.Inventors: Yoshiro Oie, Kazuyuki Shimizu, Hiroshi Tone, Takahiro Washizu, Ryuichi Tabata
