  • Patent number: 9842324
    Abstract: A banknote processing device includes a first pay-out port and a second pay-out port in which banknotes for pay-out are stacked, a conveyance section that conveys banknotes to the first pay-out port or to the second pay-out port, a first opening-closing member capable of opening and closing the first pay-out port by moving, a second opening-closing member capable of opening and closing the second pay-out port by moving, and a controller that controls conveyance of the banknotes by the conveyance section, and that controls opening and closing operations of the first and second opening-closing members. When the number of banknotes stacked in the first pay-out port has reached a maximum stacking number in pay-out processing, the controller performs a switching operation to switch a conveyance destination of the banknotes from the first pay-out port to the second pay-out port, and performs an opening operation to open the first opening-closing member.

  • Publication number: 20090071794
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a coin operated device, whereby the articles inside the locker can still be taken out with the spare key of the locker provider without damaging the coin operated device when the key is lost. The coin operated device is installed in the door frame of a locker and comprises first and second lock cylinders respectively for the insertion of the spare key and the key. The second lock cylinder is used to lock or unlock the locker, wherein a coin is inserted into the coin operated device, and a coin triggered module lets the coin fall into a coin accommodation module; then, the key is turned to latch the lock tongue and lock the locker, and the coin accommodation module is simultaneously driven to let the coin stay in behind the coin return.

  • Publication number: 20020189918
    Abstract: In a coin pay-out device to which the present invention is applied, the rotary arm of the second change slide is extended to a space between adjacent first change slides and the rear end side of the rotary arm is used as a stopper for disabling the rotation of the rotary arm. Consequently, it is possible to dispose the solenoids of the second change slide and the solenoids of the first change slides side by side. As a result, the disposition space of each solenoid can be reduced both in the transverse direction, as well as in the front-rear direction, thereby the whole size of the coin pay-out device can be reduced. Furthermore, because the second change slide is the rotary arm that turns around the fixed supporting member having a movable supporting member at its tip, which is to be fit in the guide groove of the pay-out link, the second change slide is simplified in structure.
