Herein disclosed is a reception control system for use with a paper counting machine, which is intended to prevent the excessive reception of the sheets of paper due to the delay in the reception control timing. The reception control system includes a reception sensor for instantly sensing each of the sheets of paper received, an up-down counter unit having the functions of up and down counters for counting up the number of the sheets of paper received in accordance with the output of the reception sensor and subtracting the number of the sheets of paper to be excluded from the number of the sheets of paper counted up thereby to correct the number of the sheets of paper received, and a reception control comparator unit for comparing the output of the up-down counter unit and the output of a reference number memory unit thereby to compare the number of the sheets of paper corrected and the output of the reference number memory unit so that a drive control unit may be controlled to control the reception of the sheets of paper in accordance with the compared result.

Reception control system for paper counting machine

A magnetic detection device for use in a bank note discriminating apparatus is proposed. A magnetic pattern which has been already formed on each bank note by applying the magnetizable printing ink thereon is detected by a magnetic detecting head of the device. The device further includes a conveyer driven at a conveying speed of V.sub.1, and a positioning roller rotated at a circumferential speed of V.sub.2. According to this invention, the speed V.sub.2 is adjusted to be approximately equal to or only slightly higher than the speed V.sub.1. According to another feature of this invention, the detection face of the magnetic head is spaced from the opposing peripheral face of the positioning roller by a gap D which is greater than the thickness T of the bank notes to be handled. By the use of the device of this invention constructed and operated as aforementioned, the magnetic detecting head is prevented from picking up noise signals caused by impulsive force applied thereon by the impinging leading end of the inserted bank note or uneven compression force otherwise applied thereon by the bank note which is bent on or above the magnetic head when the speed V.sub.2 is appreciably different from the speed V.sub.1 to accelerate or decelerate the travelling speed of the bank note just above the magnetic head.

Herein disclosed is a sheet binding apparatus wherein sheets such as bank notes are wound by tape and bound into a bundle of sheets by fusing and cutting the tape. The apparatus is provided with a pair of holding plates, each formed with a notch groove through which the tape is passed. The holding plates which hold the sheets therebetween are horizontally moved to a binding section while a tape is passed through one of the notch groove of one holding plate. At the binding section, a tape push-down member pushes down the tape through the other notch groove of the other holding plate to wind the sheets. The tape push-down member is formed at the lower end thereof with a forked portion for providing a recess. A heating member having a convex surface for engaging with the tape is disposed below the recess of the tape push-down member. The tape is heated and cut off while it is sandwiched between the tape push-down member and the heating member. A tension imparting mechanism is provided for imparting a tension to the tape. A plurality of position detecting sensors are provided for detecting the various positions of the tape push-down member and issuing signals for commanding various operations.

Sheet binding apparatus

There is provided an apparatus for processing sheets. The apparatus comprises a feeding zone, a discriminating zone, a sorting zone and a stacking zone. The feeding zone includes rollers and guides for taking out sheets one at a time from a group of sheets in the stacked state and feeding them into a conveyor path. The discriminating zone includes a plurality of sensors for detecting positions, a magnetic pattern and a photo-pattern to discriminate the sheets. The sorting zone includes angularly rotatable forks for sorting the sheets according to their kinds in response to the signals from the discriminating zone. The stacking zone includes containers for stacking the sheets sorted by the sorting zone.
