An amorphous core/coil assembling apparatus which prevents or minimizes damage to an amorphous core of an amorphous material upon insertion of the amorphous core into a pair of coils and which is high in reliability and superior in operability. An amorphous core of an inverted U-shape is first fixed at a predetermined position, and then a coil receiving table on which a pair of coils are placed is guided to a position at which end portions of the legs of the U-shape of the amorphous core are positioned in the proximity of a pair of V-shaped openable and closeable guide caps, whereafter the guide caps are removed from the end portions of the legs of the amorphous core.

Amorphos core/coil assembling apparatus

A novel apparatus for handling sheets of paper is disclosed, in which a plurality of transaction medium processing sections are provided as corresponding to a plurality of transaction ports operated by the customer or the teller. When transactions are proceeeding simultaneously at the transaction ports, the operations of the transaction medium processing sections are controlled at the same time. Also, the operations of a plurality of carriers disposed between the transaction ports and a counter and between the counter and an accommodation section for transporting sheets of paper are controlled at a time independently of each other, thereby saving the transaction time. Simultaneous transactions conducted at the transaction ports in this configuration makes it possible to shorten the time of processing each transaction.

Apparatus for handling sheets of paper using robot hands

A paper sheet handling apparatus including a plurality of sheet accumulating portions and a sheet conveyor. A pointed separator is mounted on the conveyor for movement into a stack of paper sheets accumulated in one sheet accumulating portion to divide the stack into two parts with a gap formed therebetween. Gripping fingers mounted on the conveyor are moved into gripping engagement with one of the divided parts of the stack and then retracted to transfer the gripped part of the stack onto the conveyor. Holding members on the conveyor are movable into the gap to hold the paper sheets of the other part of the stack. The conveyor is movable to convey the gripped paper sheets to another sheet accumulating portion. The gripping fingers are again moved to transfer the thus conveyed sheets to the other sheet accumulating portion. Sensors are mounted on the conveyor to determine whether or not the paper sheets to be transferred are directly positioned relative to the sheet transferring members of the sheet accumulating portions and, if not correctly positioned, corrective action is effected in response to the determined incorrect positioning.

Paper sheet depositing and dispensing apparatus, abnormality recovery

An apparatus for handling sheets of paper has a depositing/dispensing unit for depositing papers put into the apparatus by an operator and for dispensing papers to an operator. Within the apparatus there is a counter unit, a storage box unit and a transporting unit that includes a robot hand for transporting papers between the units. A space is formed within the counter unit between a separating unit and a stacking unit within which the depositing/dispensing unit can move. Also, the space enables maintenance tasks to be performed easily by providing access to the components of the counter unit. The apparatus is capable of handling two kinds of paper in both depositing and dispensing transactions. The counter unit provided with locked covers that prevent access to spaces where paper to be deposited can be stored.
