Abstract: Provided is a sheet storage apparatus capable of storing as many sheets as possible in a storage bag. The sheet storage apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a moving section that moves a sheet to a back side, in a storing direction, of a storage bag fixed so that the storing direction is horizontal or closer to horizontal than to vertical; a first storage bag support that supports a bottom surface of the storage bag; and a second storage bag support that is positioned on the back side from the first storage bag support in the storing direction and supports the bottom surface of the storage bag at a position lower than the first storage bag support.

Abstract: Provided is an aligner capable of aligning a sheet during transport in a direction orthogonal to a transport direction. The aligner includes: a transport path; a linear-motion transport unit that generates a drive force in a transport direction along the transport path to a sheet on the transport path; a left-skew transport unit that is disposed in a left direction with respect to the transport direction of the linear-motion transport unit and generates a drive force in a left-oblique direction inclined in the left direction to the sheet on the transport path; and a right-skew transport unit that is disposed in a right direction with respect to the transport direction of the linear-motion transport unit and generates a drive force in a right-oblique direction inclined in the right direction to the sheet on the transport path.

Abstract: A sheet storage apparatus and a sheet handling apparatus that allow attaching or removing of a storage bag with a simple structure and less space are provided. The sheet storage apparatus of the present disclosure includes an attachment unit including an attachment portion to which a storage bag for sheets is attached, a moving unit that moves the sheets toward an inside of the storage bag, and a first slide unit that slides at least any one of the attachment unit and the moving unit such that a relative position between the attachment unit and the moving unit is changed between a first position in which the attachment portion is covered with the moving unit and a second position in which the attachment portion is exposed to allow attaching or removing of the storage bag.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a sheet storage apparatus and a sheet processing apparatus capable of effectively reducing tension applied to the entrance portion of a storage bag that stores sheets at the time of sealing the storage bag. The sheet storage apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a sealing unit that seals a predetermined portion of the storage bag storing sheets and a tension reducing unit that reduces the tension applied to the predetermined portion.

Abstract: The sheet storage apparatus of the present disclosure includes an attachment unit to which a storing bag for sheets is attached; a holding unit that holds the sheets toward an inner side in a storage direction of the storing bag attached to the attachment unit, the sheets being stacked and stored in the storing bag; and a closing unit that closes an entrance of the storing bag by sandwiching the storing bag from outside thereof. The closing unit closes the entrance by moving from a first position to a second position, the first position being a position before the closing unit starts sandwiching the storing bag, the second position being a position when the closing unit sandwiches the storing bag. The closing unit passes through the inner side in the storage direction than the first position between moving from the first position to the second position.

Abstract: A sheet storing apparatus, includes: an inlet section configured to take in sheets from outside of the apparatus into the apparatus; a storing unit configured to mount a storage bag in a storing area of the storage unit; and a recognition unit configured to count the number of sheets to be stored in the storage bag mounted in the storing area of the storing unit, in which the storing unit includes: a holding section configured to hold the storage bag mounted in the storing area of the storing unit; a support section configured to support the sheets stored in the storage bag from below via the storage bag; a drive section configured to move up and down the support section between an initial position and a final position; and a control section configured to control the drive section, based on the number of sheets counted by the recognition unit.

Abstract: A sheet storing apparatus includes: a compression section that performs first compression and second compression by applying a pressing force to sheets stored in a bag; and a control section that controls the pressing force.

Abstract: A storage bag which includes an opening is to be suspended from a first holding section and a second holding section of a paper-sheet processing device. The storage bag includes a first attaching portion to be attached to the first holding section, and provided at an opening end of the storage bag, a second attaching portion to be attached to the second holding section, and provided at the opening end of the storage bag, a first sealing portion which is provided at a position below the first attaching portion, a second sealing portion which is provided at a position below the second attaching portion and which seals the opening by being joined with the first sealing portion, and a reinforcing member provided in either one of the first sealing portion and the second sealing portion.

Abstract: 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).
