The provides a two money kinds recycle box provided with a plurality of paper money accumulating portions and storing and feeding the paper money at one position, thereby simplifying a carrier path structure of a whole of a paper money inputting and outputting machine provided with the two money kinds recycle box, and corresponding to a lot of money kinds with a compact structure. The two money kinds recycle box is provided with an output and input port outputting and inputting the paper money with respect to an external portion, a plurality of paper money accumulating portions storing the paper money, a pickup roller provided at one position of each of the paper money accumulating portions and carrying out an accumulating motion of the paper sheets onto the paper money accumulating portions and a feeding motion of the paper sheets from the accumulating portions, and a two-way carrier path carrying the paper sheets in a two-way direction between the one output and input port and a plurality of pickup rollers.

Paper sheets storage and paper sheets handling apparatus

[Problem] The present invention has as an object to reduce the occurrence of jamming of sheet within a sheet handling device. [Solution] The sheet handling device comprises an input/output section having the function of stacking sheets and configured to accept and dispense sheets from the sheet handling device; a storing unit configured to store sheets; a transport path allocated between the storing unit and the input/output section and configured to transport sheets; a determination section allocated on the transport path and configured to determine transport condition of sheets being transported; and a controller that, in the event that the determination section determines improper transport condition of a sheet being transported from the storing unit to the input/output section by the transport path, controls the transport path so as to store the sheet in the storing unit.

Sheet handling device

A cash handling systemhas an upper unitmounted on a lower unit. The upper unithas a cash slot, first bill transfer openingsto, and a conveyor line. The lower unithas a second bill transfer opening, cash cartridges, and a conveyor line. The conveyor linehas multiple conveyance branch pathstoprovided corresponding to multiple first bill transfer openingsto. This arrangement enables the position of the cash slot to be readily changeable relative to the cash cartridges.

Cash handling system

The present invention provides a bill handling device which can realize a reduction in size, an increase in capacity and a reduction in processing time and improves satisfaction of users. The bill handling device includes a bill discriminating portion for discriminating bills, recycle stores for storing bills and separating the bills again, a loading store for supplying bills to the recycle stores or collecting bills from the recycle stores, a reject store and a loading reject store which store reject bills rejected by the bill discriminating portion, and conveying paths for conveying bills to the respective portions, wherein the conveying paths are formed as an annular conveying path which can convey the bills in two directions, and the recycle stores, the loading store, the reject store, and the loading reject store are arranged around the conveying paths.

Bill handling device

In a paper currency handling apparatus, a temporary housing is arranged behind a paper currency deposit and withdrawal port; a paper currency discrimination part is arranged behind the temporary housing; conveyance paths conveying a paper currency from below the paper currency let-out part to ahead of the paper currency discrimination part, conveyance paths conveying a paper currency from behind the paper currency discrimination part to the temporary housing once ascending upward, and a paper currency sorting gate going from behind the paper currency discrimination part to the conveyance path to implement sorting to conveying destinations for a first time are included, wherein the paper currency sorting gate is arranged in an upper part behind the temporary housing.

Paper currency handling apparatus

A bill depositing/withdrawing apparatus having a cash slot for charging/discharging a bill or bills, comprises: a bill storage section provided inwardly of the cash slot in the apparatus to store a bill or bills, and posture changing means that changes the bill storage section to a money depositing/withdrawing posture, in which a bill or bills are received from and paid to a user through the cash slot, and to a feeding/stacking posture, in which a bill or bills are fed into the apparatus and stacked in the bill storage section, and wherein a bill or bills stored in the bill storage section are caused to project toward a user when the money depositing/withdrawing posture is assumed.

Bill depositing/withdrawing apparatus and method of controlling the same
