A circulation-type bill receiving and dispensing machine has a receiving mode, a dispensing mode and a distributing mode. Two sets of dealing part mechanisms are provided for permitting two tellers to simultaneously use the machine. Each dealing part mechanism is in communication with a commonly used received bill handling route for received mode and a commonly used dispensing bill handling route for dispensing mode. The received bill handling route is in communication with boxes for accumulating bills therein and sending the bills therefrom. The boxes are in communication with the dispensing bill handling route.

A feed-out roller and a friction member are disposed to form a gap therebetween, through which bills are fed out, one at a time. A gap adjusting mechanism is provided for changing the size of the gap by moving the friction member relative to the feed-out roller. A pressure sensor detects pressure acting on the friction member to generate a pressure signal. The gap is adjusted on the basis of the pressure signal.

Bill feeding apparatus

An automatic money depositing and disbursing machine has functions of receiving bank notes from a transacting port and feeding the same through a discriminating section provided in a note circulating delivery passage and accommodating in boxes normal notes judges by the discriminating section, and of disbursing the notes through the discriminating section from the transacting port. The machine is of such a construction that at least portions of the received notes are used as notes to be defrayed or disbursed. The boxes are adapted to be removably supported on the stacker supporting device. The stacker supporting device comprises a rail portion attached to the bottom of the machine and a movable portion adapted to accommodate the boxes therein and slidably supported on the rail portion in horizontal opposite directions.

Bank notes are drawn out of containers provided in a bank note handling machine into first paths and then delivered therefrom to a second path through a junction where each of the first paths joins the second path. A guide is positioned at the junction. The guide is made in a comb-like form which has an upper portion curved upwardly and throughout the whole width-length of the bank note and a plurality of depending members. Notches are defined between the depending members to be adapted to cause rollers and belts of the first path to project therethrough.

An automatic money depositing and disbursing machine has functions of receiving bank notes from a transacting port and feeding the same through a discriminating section provided in a note circulating delivery passage and accommodating in the boxes normal notes judged by the discriminating section, and of disbursing the notes through the discriminating section from the transacting port. The machine is of such a construction that at least portions of the received notes are used as notes to be defrayed or disbursed. Provided between the note circulating delivery passage and the boxes are note transfer mechanism which comprises at least one upwardly retraction accumulating wheel for feeding notes into the boxes from the note circulating delivery passage and at least one pair of attracting drums for sucking notes from the boxes and feeding them to the note circulating delivery passage. The machine has a judging section for checking a near-end condition. The machine also may have a fullness detecting mechanism for checking notes accumulated in boxes in a full condition. The machine also may have an uppermost surface position detecting mechanism for checking whether the uppermost surface position of notes is set in a position.

Note transfer mechanism in automatic money depositing and disbursing

An automatic money receiving and disbursing machine having the functions of receiving money from customers and disbursing money to customers from a box disposed within the machine. The machine is provided with a circulation path in communication with a transacting section to receive or disburse the notes therethrough. A portion of the circulation path is in communication with the disbursing box for receiving the notes disbursed from the disbursing box. Another portion of the circulation path is in communication with a note receiving box. A discrimination section is provided in the circulation path to discriminate the notes received or the notes disbursed. In the disbursing mode, when an abnormal note is found by discrimination, all the notes are discriminated again by passing the notes through the discrimination section via the circulation path.

Automatic money receiving and disbursing machine

An automatic money receiving and disbursing machine has two dealing openings through one of which the notes are received in the machine or disbursed from the machine. A discriminating section is provided for discriminating the received notes or the disbursed notes. Discrimination made through the discriminating section is made in a high grade or in a low grade. Two accumulating sections are provided between two dealing openings on a delivery section. These accumulating sections are used to temporarily store the notes. A receiving and disbursing box is provided for receipt of a specific kind of note. A disbursing box and a reject box are also provided.

A note separating and delivering apparatus for use in a note handling machine includes a delivery mechanism. The delivery mechanism comprises grabbing rollers disposed at the middle portion thereof for grabbing the note from the suction heads. The delivery mechanism further comprises feeding members disposed at the opposite sides of the grabbing rollers for compensating for the delay of the notes at the side portions thereof.

Note separating and delivering apparatus for use in note handling machine

An automatic money depositing and disbursing machine includes a common delivery passage used to deliver the deposited notes to a receiving box for deposit and deliver the notes to be paid to a disbursing port for disbursement. A discriminating section is disposed adjacent the common delivery passage for discriminating the notes.
