Patent number: 10179716Abstract: A stacking wheel mechanism (30) includes a stacking wheel (32) that is arranged near a stacking unit (26) and having a plurality of elastic blades (32a) on an outer circumferential surface thereof, and a blade guiding member (38) that is arranged near the stacking wheel (32) to guide the blades (32a) of the stacking wheel (32). The blade guiding member (38) guides the blades (32a) of the stacking wheel (32) such that the blades (32a) of the stacking wheel (32) enter into a transport path (for example, an internal transport path (36)) when the stacking wheel (32) rotates in a feeding-in direction of a paper sheet toward the stacking unit (26) and the blades (32a) of the stacking wheel (32) retreat from the transport path when the stacking wheel (32) rotates in a feeding-out direction of the paper sheet from the stacking unit (26).Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2017Date of Patent: January 15, 2019Assignee: GLORY LTD.Inventors: Sotaro Moriwaki, Tsuguo Mizoro, Michio Yamamoto, Yoichi Takemura

Patent number: 8215579Abstract: The present invention is to provide a banknote storing and feeding unit 19 capable of increasing the maximum storage quantity of banknote 45 and stably storing and feeding banknote 45. A first tape 36 and a second tape 37 are pressed by a tape pressing body 87 between first and second winding reels 38 and 39 and a winding drum 40 so as to come into contact with each other. Even the banknote 45 having a short length in a transporting direction is held between the first tape 36 and second tape 37 at a position of the tape pressing body 87 for transportation. An outer diameter of the winding drum 40 is detected by an outer diameter detecting unit 85, and the tape pressing body 87 is moved by a moving unit 92 in accordance with the detected outer diameter of the winding drum 40, and the tape pressing body 87 is moved to an appropriate position following a change in the outer diameter of the winding drum 40.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2010Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: Glory Ltd.Inventor: Tsuguo Mizoro
