A paper sheet handling apparatus capable of effectively preventing a photodetector from malfunctioning due to external light is provided. The present invention is a paper sheet handling apparatus including a paper sheet handling port, a projector for emitting light within the paper sheet handling port, a photodetector for receiving the light emitted from the projector, and a light-shielding body that is formed along an optical path from the projector towards the photodetector and shields the photodetector against external light; wherein a projector-side end of the light-shielding body is formed to be retracted from an incident direction of the external light towards the photodetector.

Paper sheet handling apparatus

A cash automatic transaction device capable of, upon storage of a banknote sent from a depositing/dispensing port in a banknote storage box, or upon accumulation of a banknote sent from the banknote storage box in the depositing/dispensing port, preventing the occurrence of trouble such as paper jam or poor posture. The cash automatic transaction device has a depositing/dispensing port used for depositing/dispensing of banknotes, and a banknote storage box for storage of deposited/dispensed banknotes. The depositing/dispensing port has depositing/dispensing space to store the deposited/dispensed banknotes, and accumulation space in which the banknote is accumulated upon dispensing. The width of the depositing/dispensing space is smaller than the exit and entrance width of the storage box, while the width of the accumulation space is greater than the exit and entrance width of the storage box.

Cash automatic transaction device

A paper-slip handling device with: a reduced stoppage rate and banknote rejection rate for a deposit/withdrawal device; improved ability to remove foreign material from banknote bundles; improved user-friendliness; and improved reliability, comprising: a deposit/withdrawal unit used for depositing and withdrawal of paper slips, a paper-slip identification unit that identifies paper slips, a temporary holding compartment that temporarily stores deposited paper slips, a plurality of paper-slip storage compartments, and a first paper-slip transport path via which paper slips are transported to the various aforementioned units. The deposit/withdrawal unit has an opening via which paper slips are transferred in a substantially horizontal state, a storage section that stores paper slips in a substantially upright state, and a second paper-slip transport path that connects said opening and storage section. The paper slips are transported via said second paper-slip transport path while being switched between the substantially upright state and substantially horizontal state.

Paper-slip handling device and automated transaction device

The present invention is characterized in that at least a first bill storage unit and a second bill storage unit are stacked and arranged in the stated sequence from a bill insert/discharge port side provided to the upper surface of the bill storage box; a door for loading and removing bills inside the bill storage units, and an opening and closing part for removing bills retained in an internal conveyance path between the first bill storage unit and the internal conveyance path are included; and the opening and closing direction of the door for loading and removing bills in the first bill storage unit and the opening and closing direction of the opening and closing part are substantially the same.
