A paper sheet handling apparatus includes a handling section and a plurality of housing units. The handling section includes an upstream conveyance mechanism and a validation section. The upstream conveyance mechanism conveys paper sheets. The validation section validates paper sheets conveyed by the upstream conveyance mechanism. The housing units each include a downstream conveyance mechanism and a housing section. The downstream conveyance mechanism conveys paper sheets conveyed from the handling section. The housing section houses therein paper sheets conveyed by the downstream conveyance mechanism. Each of the housing units can be coupled to another one thereof via the downstream conveyance mechanisms, and a group of the downstream conveyance mechanisms, which are coupled together, is coupled to a group of the housing sections in a manner that allows the group of the downstream conveyance mechanisms to integrally pivot with respect to the group of the housing sections.

Paper sheet handling apparatus

A paper sheet feeding apparatus includes an inserting unit in which a paper sheet is inserted, a pick-up roller for picking up a paper sheet inserted in the inserting unit, a rotating shaft for rotating the pick-up roller, a detecting member that is supported by the rotating shaft so as to be able to rotate around the rotating shaft and is rotated by a bundling member that bundles paper sheets together, and a first detecting unit that detects rotation of the detecting member.

Paper sheet feeding apparatus and foreign object detection method

A paper sheet handling apparatus includes an input/output unit that is used to put in or take out a paper sheet; a distinguishing unit that distinguishes the paper sheet; an accommodating unit that temporarily accommodates the paper sheet sent from the input/output unit; a storage unit that stores therein the paper sheet sent from the accommodating unit; a conveying mechanism that includes a two-way direction conveying path that connects the input/output unit, the distinguishing unit, the accommodating unit, and the storage unit with each other and conveys the paper sheet in both directions; and a controller that is configured to control the conveying mechanism.

Paper sheet handling apparatus and paper sheet handling method

A paper sheet accommodating apparatus includes: a reel configured to supply a winded belt-like member; a drum configured to roll up a paper sheet together with the belt-like member supplied from the reel; and a transmission unit configured to transmit, at a time of roll-up of the belt-like member that is caused by rotation of the drum, rotation of the reel co-rotating with the roll-up, to the drum, to assist rotation of the drum.

Paper sheet accommodating apparatus and paper sheet accommodating method

A conveying-direction switching device includes: a shaft; and a plurality of blades that are pivotally supported by the shaft and that switch a conveying direction of a sheet conveyed through a conveyance path to a predetermined direction toward a delivering/discharging section for the sheet included in a housing unit that houses the sheet by winding the sheet around a drum together with a belt-like member, wherein the plurality of blades include: a first blade group that is pivotally supported in a neighborhood of a center of the shaft and that is opposed to the delivering/discharging section; and a second blade group that is pivotally supported on an outer side of the shaft as compared with the first blade group.

Conveying-direction switching device and sheet handling device

A paper sheet accommodation apparatus includes: a supply reel which supplies a wound band-like material; a winding drum around which a paper sheet is wound together with the band-like material supplied from the supply reel; a taking in and out section through which the paper sheet is taken in and out; and a rotating shaft that is disposed in the taking in and out section, is rotatably provided with a pulley that supports the band-like material, and has a transport roller fixed thereto, which transports the paper sheet.
