Abstract: A bill processing device capable of minimizing the possibility of entry of bills stored in a stacker into a bill transfer rout for obstructing the processing of a bill transferred next time, wherein a bill slip prevention means (9) for preventing the bill (101) in contact with a pair of guide parts (4) from slipping on the lateral thereof is disposed in the guide parts (4) allowing the bill (101) positioned on the pair of guide parts (4) into contact therewith among the bills (101) stored in the stacker (11), whereby the bills (101) stored in the stacker (11) can be prevented from entering the bill transfer route (3) by the bill slip prevention means.

Abstract: Paper storage apparatus is provided with friction members that are provided at opposing sides (7c) of a lifting table (7) facing a pair of guide rails (3, 4) such that the friction members (30, 31) project toward the guide rails (3, 4). When a paper (10) is moved by the lifting table (7) so that end portions of the paper (10) escape from the grooves (3a, 4a), the paper (10) slides while being in contact with the friction members (30, 31), thereby to prevent the paper (10) from being moved on the lifting table (7).

Abstract: A bill processor having pivotally supported parts for easy maintenance. The bill processor includes a machine body, a bill conveyer disposed in the body for conveying a bill along a bill passage, and a front mask having a bill insertion port and disposed on the front of the body. The bill processor also has a bill identification device disposed on the bill passage for determining the genuineness of the inserted bills, as well as a bill stacker. In one bill processor, the conveyer is supported via a shaft to be freely pivotable toward the front of the machine body, and a front mask is supported to be freely pivotable with respect to the machine body. In another bill processor, a support structure is provided for supporting the machine body including the conveyer and the bill stacker so the machine body is freely pivotably supported with respect to the front mask and freely detachably engaged to the front mask.

Abstract: If the number of returned bills is two or more, the returned bills are identified as abnormally returned bills by an abnormally returned bill detecter, and predetermined abnormal-state processing is accomplished by performing control operations using an abnormality processor. If a bill has jammed in the bill conveying channel, information concerning the direction in which the bill has jammed is stored in the bill jamming direction memory unit of the control unit, and, as a result of control operations performed by the bill reverse-direction conveyance control unit of the control unit, the bill is conveyed in the direction opposite to the bill jamming direction stored in the bill jamming direction memory unit when the bill jammed in the bill conveying channel is to be removed.

Abstract: A bill processor for use in a bill handling machine comprises a first bill transport passage for guiding a bill inserted in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of bills stacked in a stacker toward substantially middle of interior of the main body of the bill handling machine, and a second bill transport passage for guiding the bill from the termination end of the first bill transport passage along the longitudinal direction of the stacked bills, wherein the first bill transport passage is formed in a meandering form along the longitudinal direction of the stacked bills, whereby the depth of the bill processor can be made small.
