  • Patent number: 10703541
    Abstract: A medium storage box includes a storage unit that stores a medium, a handle configured to rotate in a first direction from a first state to a second state and a second direction opposite to the first direction from the second state to the first state, and a rotation restricting portion that prevents rotation of the handle in the second direction. The handle includes a grip portion and an arm that includes an upper surface portion or a top portion and extends in an extending direction toward the upper surface portion or the top portion from the rotational axis. The arm is configured such that an end portion of an arm center line side in the upper surface portion or the top portion is separated toward a first direction side with respect to an arm center line extending from the rotational axis to the extending direction.

  • Patent number: 10621831
    Abstract: A medium processing device including a storage cassette, a casing, a loading section, a slide rail, and a connector is provided. The storage cassette is configured to store a medium. The casing includes an internal space to house the storage cassette inside. The loading section supports the storage cassette when the storage cassette is in a loaded state in a loading space having an open bottom section. The slide rail is attached to the casing and to the loading section, and lets the loading section move between the internal space of the casing and outside. The connector is provided inside the loading space of the loading section, and electrically connects to the storage cassette in a loaded state of the storage cassette in the loading space.

  • Patent number: 10167151
    Abstract: In a storage box guidance section provided to an upper portion of a banknote storage box in a banknote pay-in/pay-out device of an ATM, a groove is provided running along a front-rear direction at the right side of a storage box conveyance guide group. Further, in a handover section provided to a casing in the banknote pay-in/pay-out device, a position establishing section is provided to the right side of a handover section conveyance guide group. The left-right direction position of the storage box guidance section may accordingly be established with respect to the handover section by positioning the position establishing section inside the groove when storing a lower frame loaded with the banknote storage box and the like in the casing of the banknote pay-in/pay-out device. This enables finger sections of the storage box conveyance guide group and finger sections of the handover section conveyance guide group to be interlocked with each other without abutting.

  • Patent number: 10167162
    Abstract: In a banknote storage box (16) of an ATM (1), a front guide (25) is attached to a front door (21) through attachment members (26) at four locations in a front guide attachment section (30). Intervals between faces (32 and 33) positioned on mutually opposite sides of each attachment member (26) are different for each of three attachment intervals LA, LB, and LC. Accordingly, in the front guide attachment section (30), a selected attachment interval LS is able to be adjusted between three steps without exchanging components by just changing the orientation of each attachment member (26) when attaching the attachment member (26).

  • Patent number: 9947182
    Abstract: A medium processing device includes a storage cassette, a casing for storing the storage cassette, a loading section that supports the storage cassette, a slide rail attached to the casing and the loading section, and that allows the loading section to move between the interior and the exterior of the internal space, and a connector. The connector is outside of a pass-through region through which the storage cassette passes in a case where loading the storage cassette into the loading hole of the loading section, and that, when the storage cassette has been loaded into the loading hole and is supported by the loading section, electrically connects the loading section and the storage cassette together. A protective portion is at the loading section, and protrudes out further than the connector in an opposite direction opposite to a loading direction in which the storage cassette is loaded into the loading hole.
