Provided is a circulation-type paper sheet storage unit equipped with circulation units in a casing, enabling to swiftly take measures and perform recovery processing on the user side when the circulation unit malfunctions. The paper sheet storage unit includes circulation units (and) that are accommodated in a casingto receive paper sheets transported into the casing by operating upon reception of a drive force from a motor and feed paper sheets stored therein to outside of the casing. The casing includes guide membersthat serve as a guide at the time of attaching or detaching the circulation unit with respect to the casing, and the circulation unit includes guided members (A,A,B, andB) which respectively detachably engage with the guide member, and are guided to an installation completion position along the guide members in an engaged state.

Provided is a paper sheet replenishing box (paper feed device) for replenishing reserve fund in each circulation-type paper sheet storage unit, wherein paper sheets of each denomination can be replenished from one paper sheet replenishing box in which paper sheets of different denominations having different sizes are accommodated together to a circulation unit of the respective circulation-type paper sheet storage units. The paper sheet replenishing box includes a first tray piecein which a plurality of pieces of first paper sheets Pare placed in a stacked state, a second tray piecearranged immediately below the first tray piece, on which a plurality of pieces of second paper sheets Phaving a different longitudinal dimension from that of the first paper sheet are placed in a stacked state, and rear-end regulating membersandthat align front end positions in a transport direction of respective paper sheet bundles to predetermined positions. After all the first paper sheets in a bundle on the first tray piece have been fed by a feed unit, an uppermost surface of the second paper sheets in a bundle on the second tray piece becomes a state capable of coming in contact with the feed unit.

Provided is a drive transmission switching mechanism that can switch and drive two circulation units by one motor in response to a switching operation of a paper sheet transport direction. A paper sheet storage unit includes a first circulation unitand a second circulation unitthat respectively receive transported paper sheets upon reception of a drive force from a single motorand feed paper sheets stored therein, a sorterthat sorts paper sheets to either one of the circulation units, and a drive transmission switching mechanismthat transmits a drive force from the motor to either one of the circulation units. The drive transmission switching mechanism is activated in conjunction with an operation to change the posture of the sorter, thereby switching and transmitting the drive force to either one of the circulation units.

In a drum-type paper sheet accumulation device that sequentially supplies paper sheets to an outer circumferential surface of a payout drum, accumulates the paper sheets by winding the paper sheets in a stacked state, and returns the paper sheets all at once, a technique is provided which can keep a linear velocity of a paper sheet located at an outermost circumference of the payout drum constant and can maintain an arranged state of the paper sheets without any particular speed control. A paper sheet accumulation drumthat stacks and accumulates paper sheets supplied one by one on an outer circumferential surface thereof while rotating, includes a plurality of retractable membersthat are arranged on a paper sheet accumulation portion of the outer circumferential surface in a predetermined circumferential arrangement, are configured to be retractable between a most protruding position protruding radially outward and a retreat position retreating from the most protruding position radially inward, are each elastically biased in a protruding direction, and each come into contact with a paper sheet surface on an outer surface. The paper sheets are accumulated to spread over the retractable members.

A device is provided for continuously and concentrically transporting documents of different width through a passageway at a high speed. The device comprises a pair of opposed rollersrotatably mounted on the opposite sides of a passagewayto grasp the opposite sides of a billbetween rotators. At the moment of grasp between rollers, a central line C of billis automatically brought into alignment with a central line G of front passageway, and at the same time, billis grasped by opposed rollersrotating in the adverse directions each other so that rotational force of rollersapplied to billserves to flip billto the rear of passageway

Device for concentrically transporting documents through passageway

A rotary anti-pullback unit is provided which comprises a rotorand a framefor rotatably supporting the rotor. Rotorcomprises a plurality of disksarranged coaxially in a line and in axially spaced relation to each other, and a plurality of fletched finsaxially protruding from at least one radial surfaceof diskstoward an opposite radial surfaceof the other adjoining spaced disk. Rotoris rotated concurrently with a billtransported along each outer periphery of disksin contact to transported billto radially inwardly move a flexible extracting toolconnected to bill, and bring toolinto tangled engagement with fin or finsin order to prevent unduly extraction of bill

Rotary anti-pullback unit of fletched fins

A device for discriminating valuable papers comprises a battery; a self-holding circuitconnected between batteryand drive controllerand capable of being switched between an active condition for supplying electric power to validation sensorand drive controllerfrom batteryand an inactive condition for interrupting the power supply; a trigger elementfor switching self-holding circuitin the inactive condition to the active condition; and a shutoff circuithaving a control terminal connected to drive controllerfor switching self-holding circuitin the active condition to the inactive condition. Inactive condition of self-holding circuitduring the disuse period, saves electric power to extend service life and exchange cycle of battery
