  • Patent number: 10703541
    Abstract: A medium storage box includes a storage unit that stores a medium, a handle configured to rotate in a first direction from a first state to a second state and a second direction opposite to the first direction from the second state to the first state, and a rotation restricting portion that prevents rotation of the handle in the second direction. The handle includes a grip portion and an arm that includes an upper surface portion or a top portion and extends in an extending direction toward the upper surface portion or the top portion from the rotational axis. The arm is configured such that an end portion of an arm center line side in the upper surface portion or the top portion is separated toward a first direction side with respect to an arm center line extending from the rotational axis to the extending direction.

  • Patent number: 10167162
    Abstract: In a banknote storage box (16) of an ATM (1), a front guide (25) is attached to a front door (21) through attachment members (26) at four locations in a front guide attachment section (30). Intervals between faces (32 and 33) positioned on mutually opposite sides of each attachment member (26) are different for each of three attachment intervals LA, LB, and LC. Accordingly, in the front guide attachment section (30), a selected attachment interval LS is able to be adjusted between three steps without exchanging components by just changing the orientation of each attachment member (26) when attaching the attachment member (26).

  • Patent number: 9474394
    Abstract: The drawer device includes a casing including a specific internal space, a unit that adopts a pulled out state by being pulled out forward from a housed state of being housed in the casing, a subunit in the unit that adopts an open state in which the unit interior is open to the outside by swinging in an opening direction, and adopts a closed state in which the unit interior is closed off from the outside by swinging in a closing direction, and a push-in restriction section that restricts movement of the unit toward the casing when the unit is moved toward the casing with the subunit still in the open state. The subunit swings about a pivot point in the vicinity of a lower end portion of the unit.

  • Patent number: 9415965
    Abstract: A media processing device has a roller conveying section having an upper conveying guide that is electrically non-conductive, and forms one side surface of a bank note conveying path, and has an internal space; a frame that is electrically conductive and holds the upper conveying guide; a pushing spring that applies pushing force that urges pushing rollers toward driving rollers; and a supporting point shaft that is electrically conductive, and whose position in a front-rear direction is positioned by the upper conveying guide in vicinities of both end portions in a length direction of the supporting point shaft, and that supports the pushing spring in a vicinity of a central portion in the length direction, and that abuts laterally long upper end surfaces of the frame by receiving reaction force that arises in a direction of separating from the bank note conveying path in accordance with the pushing force.

  • Publication number: 20150359359
    Abstract: A drawer device. The drawer device includes a casing including a specific internal space, a unit that adopts a pulled out state by being pulled out forward from a housed state of being housed in the casing, a subunit on a front face of the unit that adopts an open state in which the unit interior is open to the outside by swinging in an opening direction, and adopts a closed state in which the unit interior is closed off from the outside by swinging in a closing direction, and a push-in restriction section that restricts movement of the unit toward the casing when the unit is moved toward the casing with the subunit still in the open state. The push-in restriction section may contact the casing before the subunit contacts the casing when the unit is moved toward the casing with the subunit still in the open state. The subunit may swing about a pivot point of a shaft provided extending left and right in the vicinity of a lower end portion on a front face side of the unit.

  • Patent number: 8905219
    Abstract: A banknote processing device includes a differentiating section that differentiates banknotes, a temporary holding section that temporarily stores the differentiated banknotes, banknote storage containers that store the banknotes, and a conveyance route that connects the differentiating section, the temporary holding section, and the banknote storage containers. The processing device is constructed so that when the banknotes stored in the temporary holding section are sent out and stored in the banknote storage containers based on differentiation results of the banknotes by the differentiating section, the banknotes are conveyed from the temporary holding section via the differentiating section, and are stored in any one of the banknote storage containers, or the banknotes are conveyed from the temporary holding section, via a route that does not go through the differentiating section, and are stored in a specific one of the banknote storage containers.
