A storage stores money. An outlet can receive money delivered from the storage therein. The outlet is configured to allow the money to be removed from the inside of the outlet. A detector detects a removal action associated with removal of money from the outlet. The controller switches a process on money remaining in the outlet based on a detection result of the detector.

A paper sheet feeding unit includes: a plurality of feed rollers; a plurality of gate rollers respectively disposed opposite to the plurality of feed rollers in a one-to-one relationship; a biasing member that biases the plurality of gate rollers individually in a direction of the plurality of feed rollers; and a supporting member that supports the plurality of gate rollers and the biasing member.

Sheet processing apparatus

The paper sheet handling apparatus includes a base module and an extension module connected to the base module. The base module includes a feeding unit, a first transport unit, a recognition unit that recognizes the paper sheet, first-type stacking units arranged along a first direction for stacking a paper sheet and having an opening to remove the stacked paper sheet, and a control unit that controls transport of the paper sheet based on a recognition result obtained in the recognition unit. The extension module includes a second transport unit that transports inside the extension module a paper sheet discharged from the base module by the first transport unit, and second-type stacking units arranged along a second direction different from the first direction and having an opening to remove the stacked paper sheet. The control unit controls the first-type stacking unit and the second-type stacking unit to sort and stack the paper sheet.

A paper sheet handling machinecomprises an upper unithaving a paper sheet take-in apparatusadapted for taking therein paper sheets, one by one, from the exterior, an upper transport mechanismadapted for transporting the paper sheets taken in by the paper sheet take-in apparatus, one by one, and a recognition unitadapted for recognizing each paper sheet transported by the upper transport mechanism; a lower unitlocated below the upper unitand having a lower transport mechanismprovided to receive the paper sheets transferred from the upper transport mechanism, one by one, and then further transport the transferred paper sheets, and a plurality of stacking units, each adapted for stacking therein the paper sheets transported by the lower transport mechanismand sorted based on results obtained by the recognition unit. In this case, at least a part of a bottom portion of the upper unitis opened. Additionally, a partition memberis provided between the upper unitand the lower unit

Paper sheet handling machine

A paper-sheet feeding unit includes: a feed roller configured to be rotated when feeding out a paper sheet, the feed roller having a high friction portion placed on a part of a circumference of an outer circumferential surface thereof, and a low friction portion placed on a location of the outer circumferential surface thereof other than the high friction portion, the low friction portion having a frictional coefficient smaller than that of the high friction portion; and a gate member arranged to be pressed against the outer circumferential surface of the feed roller, the gate member constituting a gate section configured to separate, one by one, the paper sheets fed out by the feed roller.

Paper-sheet feeding unit

A paper sheet handling machine includes: a storage unitfor storing therein paper sheets P in a batch form; a kicker rollerfor providing drive force to the paper sheet P located in the lowest position, among the paper sheets P in the batch form, by rotating; a gate mechanismfor grasping each paper sheet P provided with the drive force by the kicker roller, and feeding out the paper sheet P along a feed out plane; and a pressing memberfor pressing, from above, the paper sheets P stored in the storage unit. The gate mechanismincludes a feed rollerprovided to the storage unit, and a gate memberprovided to be opposed to the feed roller. Further, a guide roller, which is rotatable in a feeding direction of the paper sheets P, is provided to a bottom end of the pressing member

The banknote processing deviceincludes a first upper stacking unitthat is provided at an upper position of the banknote processing device and stacks rejected notes; a second upper stacking unitthat is provided adjacent to the first upper stacking unit and stacks banknotes other than the rejected notes; first to fourth lower stacking units-that are arranged in parallel at lower positions of the banknote processing device and stack banknotes of at least one specific denomination; and a controllerthat controls the transport unit to transport the banknote to the first upper stacking unit when a recognition result is a rejected note, and to transport the banknote to one of the second upper stacking unit and the first to fourth lower stacking units when the recognition result is not a rejected note.

Banknote processing device

A paper sheet handling machinecomprises a casingand at least two stacking unitsprovided in the casing. Each stacking unitis configured to stack therein paper sheets respectively taken in the casingby a take-in unit. From among the paper sheets transported by a transport unit, the paper sheets, each judged to be stored in the stacking unitorby a recognition unit, are diverted from the transport unitand fed into the stacking unitor, by each diverter. A reject unitis connected with the transport uniton the downstream side of the diverters. To the reject unit, the paper sheets that are not diverted from the transport unitby the respective divertersare fed.

A paper sheet storage unitis opened upward and forward. Holding membersare respectively configured to be reciprocated, between a waiting position and a holding position, by a lifting and lowering mechanism. When the respective holding membersare in the waiting position, such holding memberscan serve as a guide surface, on the back side of the paper sheet storage unit, for guiding a batch of paper sheets stored in the paper sheet storage unit. Meanwhile, when the respective holding membersare in the holding position, the holding memberis in contact with a top face of the paper sheet present at the lowest layer of the paper sheets stored in the paper sheet storage unit, and serves to press the paper sheet downward. A controllercontrols the lifting and lowering mechanism, such that the lifting and lowering mechanismmoves the holding membersto the waiting position, when a paper sheet storage amount detectordetects that the amount of the paper sheets stored in the paper sheet storage unitis greater than a preset amount, while the lifting and lowering mechanismmoves the holding membersto the holding position, when the paper sheet storage amount detectordetects that the amount of the paper sheets stored in the paper sheet storage unitis less than the preset amount.
