Abstract: An apparatus for derailing with a passbook having a plurality of data recording surfaces, includes a passbook recording unit in which data is recorded on the recording surfaces of the passbook introduced in a conveying passage of the apparatus via an access opening. A plurality of new passbook storing boxes are arranged along the conveying passage, and a passbook detector for detecting the presence or absence of new passbook is provided in each passbook storing box. When all spaces in the data recording surfaces of the passbook received in the conveying passage are used up, a new passbook is supplied from one of the storing boxes to the conveying passage, so that the remains of data is recorded on the data recording surfaces of the new passbook by the recording unit.

Abstract: An apparatus for sorting sheets is disclosed, which comprises a feeder for setting a mixture of different kinds of sheets, the set sheets being fed one by one for sorting, a judging circuit for judging the kind of sheet being transported through the body of the apparatus after having been fed from the feeder, and a sorting/stacking section for sorting and stacking sheets in specified quantities for specified kinds according to the result of judgement in the judging circuit. The apparatus has a plurality of sorting modes for different kinds of sorting and can specify specified quantities for each mode.

Abstract: An apparatus for sorting sheets is disclosed, which comprises a feeder for setting a mixture of different kinds of sheets, the set sheets being fed one by one for sorting, a judging circuit for judging the kind of sheets being transported through the body after having been fed from the feeder, and a stacking section for stacking sorted bills according to the results of the judging circuit. The stacking section includes an upper stacker, a lower stacker, and a reject stacker, sheets of a specified kind being stacked in the upper stacker, sheets incapable of being judged being stacked in the reject stacker, and the other sheets being stacked in the lower stacker.

Abstract: An automatic-transfer-transaction processing apparatus comprises a first means for receiving a transfer card of a paper with a magnetic strip and for reading the destination bank from the magnetic strip, and a second means for processing data to transfer a specified amount to the destination bank read from the transfer card. The valid period of the transfer card and the number of times the card has been used are recorded on the magnetic strip. The apparatus further comprises a third means for providing data showing the data, a fourth means for comparing the data with the expiration date of the valid period and comparing the number of times used with a predetermined value, thereby determining whether or not a new transfer card must be issued to replace the old one, and a fifth means for withdrawing the old card and issuing a new transfer card in accordance with the decision made by the fourth means.
