A conveying-direction switching device includes: a shaft; and a plurality of blades that are pivotally supported by the shaft and that switch a conveying direction of a sheet conveyed through a conveyance path to a predetermined direction toward a delivering/discharging section for the sheet included in a housing unit that houses the sheet by winding the sheet around a drum together with a belt-like member, wherein the plurality of blades include: a first blade group that is pivotally supported in a neighborhood of a center of the shaft and that is opposed to the delivering/discharging section; and a second blade group that is pivotally supported on an outer side of the shaft as compared with the first blade group.

Conveying-direction switching device and sheet handling device

A paper sheet accommodation apparatus includes: a supply reel which supplies a wound band-like material; a winding drum around which a paper sheet is wound together with the band-like material supplied from the supply reel; a taking in and out section through which the paper sheet is taken in and out; and a rotating shaft that is disposed in the taking in and out section, is rotatably provided with a pulley that supports the band-like material, and has a transport roller fixed thereto, which transports the paper sheet.

Paper sheet accommodation apparatus and method of controlling paper sheet accommodation apparatus

A banknote handling machine includes: a distinguishing unit that distinguishes a given classifying condition covering the type according to which banknotes from multiple types of banknotes that are put in are classified; a plurality of depositories in corresponding ones of which the banknotes whose type is distinguished by the distinguishing unit are classified and housed according to the classifying condition before a transaction relating to the put-in banknotes is determined; a plurality of housing units in corresponding ones of which the banknotes that are sent from the corresponding depositories are classified and housed according to the classifying condition after the transaction is determined; and a controller that controls the depositories according to the classifying condition.

A apparatus includes a storage mechanism that includes a plurality of storage spaces where paper sheets are stored and continuously feeds out the storage spaces toward one direction while creating the storage spaces one by one, an alignment mechanism that carries banknotes into the storage spaces in the order that the storage mechanism feeds out the storage spaces, and a controller that controls the alignment mechanism and the storage mechanism.

Paper sheet storage apparatus and storing method of paper sheet storage apparatus

A paper sheet handling apparatus has a pickup roller, a stage, a pressure sensor, and a measuring unit. For each feeding process, in which the pickup roller feeds paper sheets until the pressure detected by the pressure sensor becomes less than a predetermined set value, the stage presses paper sheets against the pickup roller until the pressure detected by the pressure sensor reaches another set value. The pickup roller operates at a feeding speed of a first speed if a calculated feeding value is less than a threshold, and operates at a feeding speed of a second speed that is slower than the first speed if the calculated feeding value is equal to or greater than the threshold, the calculated feeding value being calculated based on: the amount of movement of the stage measured by the measuring unit; and the number of paper sheets fed by the feeding process.

In a paper bill depositing/dispensing apparatus, when a roof plate and a stage plate move from a depositing/dispensing unit to a temporarily accumulating unit along with a deposited bill, rotations of a pick roller, a separator, a feed roller and a conveyance roller are driven to carry a bill to a conveyance path that connects to a bill storing unit, and a partial paddle wheel stops by orientating its round surface, not provided with paddles, toward a path of the carried bill. When a bill is dispensed, the separator, the feed roller and the conveyance roller rotate in a bill carry-in direction to carry the bill conveyed from the conveyance path in the temporarily accumulating unit, and the partial paddle wheel beats a rear end of the carried bill with paddles to align the rear end of the bill at a bottom position d.

Large-diameter entry rollers, and small-diameter entry rollers pressing against the large-diameter entry rollers via a conveyance belt enter a paper sheet in an accumulation part via an entrance slot. A central upper guide member makes contact with an upper surface of a central portion of the banknote. Both sides lower guide members guide the banknote while causing the banknote to curve in the shape of large U in a direction orthogonal to a conveyance direction of the banknote by lifting up both ends of the banknote entered in the accumulation part with the use of an upwardly curved tip. The front end of the banknote does not hang down despite being beaten by vanes, and the banknote goes between the vanes. The banknote is rotationally conveyed, hits the stoppers to stop, is disengaged from a swirling vane wheel, and is accumulated.

Swirling vane wheel accumulating apparatus

The configuration comprises a carrier equipping an ejection plate on the front for ejecting the bundled-paper sheet material P and equipping a plurality of cutout parts, which are open in their top parts, at a predetermined interval on both the left and right sides; and a drive transmission unit being equipped by a plurality of drive rollers, each of which comprises a plurality of bosses in a predetermined interval on a single circumference around the rotation center thereof, in a predetermined interval on both the left and right sides of the bundled-paper sheet material transport path, wherein a drive force is transmitted by allowing bosses of each drive roller, which rotates by receiving a drive force from a drive source, engage in the respective cutout parts of the carrier sequentially, thereby allowing the carrier travel in the front and back directions of the bundle transport path.

The present inventions are a paper skew correcting device and a bill depositing/dispensing apparatus. The paper skew correcting device comprises first and second driving rollersanddisposed on the left and right sides of a conveying route for paperand first and second driven rollersandwith narrow contact faces placed opposite to the first and second driving rollersandvia the conveying route. The second driving rolleris formed in a tapered roller with a tapered outer peripheral surface and its rotation shaftis provided aslant so that the contact part of the tapered roller is almost parallel with the conveying route. The second driven rollercorresponding to the second driving rolleris laterally moved according to the skew angle of the conveyed paperso as to change its contact position with the second driving rollerso that the feeding speed of the right side of the papercan be accelerated or decelerated to correct the skew paper.

Paper sheets or the like inserted in a bundled state from the outside are conveyed in that state to an advancing section. Then, the paper sheets or the like, advanced on sheet by sheet basis from the advancing section, are conveyed to temporary holding section and received there. The reception of the paper sheets or the like, received in the temporary holding section in a stacked manner, is made by conveying them in a bundled state from the advancing section and advancing them on sheet by sheet basis.

The present invention relates to a Net shopping method for performing Net shopping through the Internet with a portable terminal. The user freely makes product selections (Net shopping) at any time and place using a portable terminal. When the user proposes to conduct a transaction, transaction proposal information, payee information, and the amount of money are automatically sent from the Net shopping site to the portable terminaland stored in the internal memory. Next, the user takes the portable terminalto the automatic payment transfer device, connects the portable terminal to the payment transfer device, and transfers the internal data to the payment transfer device. The user can perform payment transfer operations with the payment transfer devicebased on the order acceptance data. Thus the payment transfer process can be performed safely and with a simple operation.
