  • Patent number: 9965916
    Abstract: A reject storage box is provided with a sufficiently thick cover body above a second storage space that stores banknote bundles W that a user has forgotten to take, and a guide space is provided penetrating the cover body in an oblique direction. In the reject storage box, when a banknote bundle falls into an intake hole from above, a lower face of the banknote bundle immediately contacts a position toward the top of a main guide face, and the banknote bundle W travels downward through the guide space with the lower face of the banknote bundle W sliding against the main guide face. The reject storage box thereby enables the banknote bundle dropping downward through the guide space to be maintained in a substantially uniform orientation, and ultimately enables the banknote bundle to be stacked neatly inside the second storage space.

  • Patent number: 9890014
    Abstract: A medium conveyance device includes a placement body having a bundle conveyance face on which a medium bundle is conveyed. A Scott-Russell body includes an abutting portion that abuts the medium bundle. A movement section causes the Scott-Russell body to abut against the medium bundle and moves the Scott-Russell body along the bundle conveyance face in first or second directions, so as to move the medium bundle along the bundle conveyance face in the direction. The conveyance state switching section switches to a first state in which the Scott-Russell body is caused to abut against a second direction side of the medium bundle and conveyance of the medium bundle toward the first direction is enabled, or to a second state in which the Scott-Russell body is caused to abut against a first direction side of the medium bundle and conveyance of the medium bundle toward the second direction is enabled.

  • Publication number: 20170341902
    Abstract: A medium conveyance device is provided including a placement body, a Scott-Russell body, a moving section, and a conveyance state switching section. The placement body includes a bundle conveyance face on which a medium bundle configured by stacking plural medium into a bundle shape is conveyed in a state placed on the bundle conveyance face. The Scott-Russell body includes an abutting portion that abuts the medium bundle. The movement section causes at least a portion of the Scott-Russell body to abut against the medium bundle and moves the Scott-Russell body along the bundle conveyance face in a first direction, or in a second direction opposite to the first direction, so as to move the medium bundle along the bundle conveyance face in the first direction or in the second direction.
