Abstract
A sheet handling apparatus (e.g., banknote insertion/discharge mechanism 20) includes a transport unit (e.g., first transport unit 30) configured to transport a sheet (e.g., banknote) in a first transport path 30a; and driving units 36m and 38m configured to move, along the width direction of the first transport path 30a, at least portions of guiding members 36 and 38 forming edges of the first transport path 30a.
Claims12
A sheet handling apparatus comprising:
- a housing;
- a receptacle configured to insert a sheet into the housing;
- a transport unit configured to transport the sheet inserted into the housing along a transport direction of a transport path, the transport path including a first transport path and a second transport path connected to the first transport path, the first transport path is disposed upstream of the second transport path to transport the sheet from the first transport path to the second transport path;
- a driving unit configured to move at least a portion of a guiding member disposed at an edge of the second transport path along a width direction of the first transport path;
- and
- a first sheet detection unit disposed at an inlet of the first transport path, the first sheet detection unit configured to detect the sheet inserted into the housing, wherein
- when the sheet inserted into the housing is detected by the first sheet detection unit, the portion of the guiding member is moved along the width direction of the second transport path by the driving unit such that the width of the second transport path is greater than the width of the first transport path.
