  • Patent number: 11795023
    Abstract: A sheet storage device includes a first reel, a second reel, a third reel, a shaft, a drum, a first differential mechanism and a second differential mechanism. Tips first, second and third tapes respectively unwound from the first reel, the second reel, and the third reel are fixed to the drum, and the drum winds up sheets together with the first, second and third tapes. The first differential mechanism distributes torque input from a torque source to a first path and a second path. The second differential mechanism is provided in the second path and distributes the torque that has been distributed by the first differential mechanism to a third path and a fourth path. The first reel is located in the first path, the second reel is located in the third path, and the third reel is located in the fourth path.

  • Publication number: 20230290209
    Abstract: Provided is a coin storage method that is executed by a processor of a coin storage apparatus. The coin storage method includes: feeding out a coin from a first storage unit that stores a coin; recognizing a denomination of the coin that has been fed out; executing, based on a number of coins, which have been already stored in a second storage unit that stores a coin to be withdrawn outside, for each denomination and the denomination of the coin having been recognized, a replenishment operation in which the coin is selectively stored in a second storage unit; and changing, depending on the denomination of the coin having been fed out from the first storage unit, a denomination/number-of-coins combination of one or a plurality of coins to be stored in the second storage unit in the replenishment operation.

  • Publication number: 20220108580
    Abstract: A medium handling device includes a first portion having a first transport, a recognition circuit, and a connection port to a first transport path; a second portion having an internal storage; and a third portion having a mounter to which an external cassette is detachably mounted, and a second transport that transports a medium along a second transport path. At least a part of the third portion is supported by the second portion on an outside of the second portion, and the second transport is moved to connect to the first transport path via the connection port when the third portion is used.

  • Publication number: 20210122598
    Abstract: A sheet storage device includes a first reel that is disposed along a first axis and around which a first tape is wound; a second reel that is disposed along a second axis and around which a second tape is wound; a drum that is disposed along a third axis so as to wound a sheet, that is sandwiched between the first tape and the second tape at least partially overlapping each other, on an outer peripheral surface of the drum together with the first tape and the second tape; a first tape path between the first reel and the drum; a second tape path between the second reel and the drum; and a changing mechanism disposed in at least one of the first tape path or the second path, the changing mechanism changing a position of a corresponding tape to a direction parallel to the third axis.
