Abstract: In a bill processing apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the invention, the bill P delivered in the bill press area 10 is moved toward the loading tray 60 at one side of the press plate 32 and then toward the loading tray 60 at the other side of the press plate 32. In other words, in the operation of pressing the bill, the pressing operation timings by the bill press device 30 are different at both sides of the bill P. In addition, by means of the operation of the swing press members 300, 302, the bill can be pushed in the loading tray 60 while changing a position of the press operating point along a longitudinal direction of the bill P.

Abstract: A card processor of the present invention has: an insertion slot, into which a card is inserted; a carriage path, along which the card inserted from the insertion slot is carried; and a shutter mechanism driven to make the insertion slot closable, wherein the shutter mechanism includes an oscillating member oscillatably supported by a shaft, the oscillating member having a closing portion, formed on one end side, configured to make the insertion slot closable and a projecting/withdrawing portion, formed on the other end side, configured to be able to project and withdraw from the carriage path, and the oscillating member is bendably formed along a card carrying direction, and the closing portion of the oscillating member in a bent state comes into contact with the surface on the rear end side of the card when the front end side of the card moving along the carriage path presses the projecting/withdrawing portion.

Abstract: In a bill processing apparatus 1 as a medium processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the invention, a swinging member 510, which prevents the bills P from being inserted at the same time, is deformable due to contact with the bill P. As a result, even when a first end 510a contacts the bill P by a swinging operation accompanying with the contact between a second end 510b of the swinging member 510 and the bill P, the first end 510a itself is deformed to alleviate the shock to the bill P. Therefore, the bill P is not damaged. Accordingly, in order to prevent the damage of the bill P, it is not necessary to set a distance between the first end 510a and the second end 510b larger than a length of the bill P in a delivery direction. Further, the distance between the first end 510a and the second end 510b is shortened to make the swinging member 510 and thus the entire apparatus 1 small.

Abstract: A card processor of the present invention has: an insertion slot, into which a card is inserted; a carriage path, along which the card inserted from the insertion slot is carried; a stock portion, which is installed on a downstream side of the carriage path and capable of housing inserted cards in a stacked state; and a housing drive mechanism, which houses a card into the stock portion, wherein the housing drive mechanism includes an oscillating member having a first projecting/withdrawing portion which is located on the insertion slot side and capable of projecting and withdrawing from the carriage path and a second projecting/withdrawing portion which is located on the stock portion side and capable of projecting and withdrawing from the carriage path, the oscillating member being oscillatably supported via a shaft, and the second projecting/withdrawing portion of the oscillating member presses up the cards housed in the stock portion when the card inserted from the insertion slot presses down the first pr
