Abstract: Disclosed herein are an apparatus for receiving and dispensing bills and a method for receiving and dispensing bills using the apparatus. The apparatus includes: a bill receiving or dispensing port which is provided in an ATM to receive or dispense bills; a carriage unit which clamps the bills received into the port or clamps the bills to be dispensed and transfers the bills to the port; a separation and piling unit which has a separation space in which the received bills wait for being separated individually from each other sheet-by-sheet, and a piling space in which the bills to be dispensed are piled; a carriage transfer unit which moves the carriage unit along a trajectory between the bill receiving or dispensing port and the separation and piling unit; and a controller which controls operation of the carriage unit, the separation and piling unit and the carriage transfer unit.

Abstract: Disclosed are a moving rail assembly and a bill receiving and dispensing apparatus which are configured such that an angle at which a carriage unit moves along a rail can be adjusted to various angles. The moving rail assembly includes a moving body, a main rail and a sub-rail. The moving body includes a main rotating roller and a sub-rotating roller disposed at a different widthwise position from the main rotating roller. The main rail has a first path for guiding the main rotating roller, and a second path for guiding the sub-rotating roller. The first path and the second path extend parallel to each other. The sub-rail branches off from the second path and extends in a different direction from the main rail. The sub-rail guides the sub-rotating roller.

Abstract: Provided is a locking mechanism for a flat display device. The locking unit for a single axis rotation flat display device in which an upper body and a lower body are coupled to each other by a rear main hinge, includes: a latch member movable on a guide disposed in the upper body, a locking hole formed in the latch member and a bent portion slantingly bent at a lower end of the latch member which is made of a ferromagnetic material. In a retracted state, the latch member is substantially disposed within the upper body, while in deployed state the latch member protrudes therefrom. A restoration member provides a restoration force to the latch member so as to urge it into its retracted state. A hook member hingedly coupled to the lower body. The hook member having a hook portion whose upper end engages the locking hole. a magnet is installed to or in proximity to the hook member under the hook portion.
