Abstract
A bill pressing-down apparatus used for the bill receiving and dispensing machine for pressing down the accumulated bills from the top thereof to afford the bill feeding-out roller sufficient frictional force required for smoothly feeding out the bills. According to the bill pressing-down apparatus of the present invention, since the bil pressing-down plate is suspended at a position offset from the center of gravity of the bill pressing-down plate so that it takes an inclined attitude parallel to the bill accumulating plate and the accumulated bills due to its weight balance, the bill pressing-down plate is able to well contact the bill pressing-down plate with the top surface of the accumulated bills and to uniformly distribute the bill pressing-down force over the entire top surface of the accumulated bills. The bill pressing-down apparatus provision is itself compact and further enables realization of a compact bill delivering and dispensing machine. The bill pressing-down apparatus can be easily arranged in a small space within the machine body.
