Abstract: To prevent a failure or the like caused by winding of a tape in a reverse direction to a proper direction, a paper sheet circulation device includes a travelling-direction mark having a pattern that is formed along a travelling-direction of a detection tape and indicates the difference of the travelling-direction of the tape, and a sensor module that detects the travelling-direction mark and outputs a detection signal. The paper sheet circulation device determines a travelling-direction of the tape from a pattern signal in accordance with the travelling-direction of the tape acquired on the basis of a temporal change of the detection signal, and determines a winding direction of the tape on a drum from the travelling-direction of the tape and a rotation direction of the drum.

Abstract: A conveying robot/system configured to: (i) operate within limitations of spaces defined by shelving, (ii) remove or place an object in spaces defined by shelving and (iii) enable an object to be automatically placed at a conveying-in position of a conveying processing system and manipulate the object's posture so that the object's posture changes from the object being conveyed to the object being processed. The system includes one or more of a robot hand with a grasping portion, articulated link mechanism, object placing shelf, box body, key and a lock. In one version, the box body is a bill storage container of the type used to store currency, coupons and tickets in electronic gaming devices located in a casino environment.

Abstract: A document rack is provided to comprises a front wall 4 formed with at least one opening 7, a back wall 5 formed with at least one notch 5a, and a bottom wall 6 for connecting lower ends of front and back walls 4, 5 to structurally constitute a housing 3. A front portion 2 of a document validator 1 may be arranged in inner chamber 10 through notch 5a of back wall 5 so that users can easily take out documents in a lump from a pocket 13 of the document rack for reuse of documents because pocket 13 may receive and retain documents dispensed from document validator 1 to prevent scatter and contamination of the discharged documents.
