• and
• a second body provided above the first body and including a first transport that is configured to transport a paper sheet, wherein
• the first transport includes
• a first portion extending in a horizontal direction in a first direction from a rear side of the machine to a front side of the machine being -opposite of the rear side of the machine, and
• a second portion provided below the first portion and being capable of engaging with the first portion,
• the first transport is in a first state in which the first transport is capable of transporting the paper sheet between the first portion and the second portion when the first portion and the second portion engage with each other,
• the first transport is in a second state in which the second portion is swingable in a direction away from the first portion and below the first portion by an own weight of the second portion about a first swing axis extending in a direction orthogonal to the first direction and horizontal when engagement between the first portion and the second portion is released, wherein
• the first body includes a facing surface that faces the second body when the second body of which the first transport is in the second state is moved in a second direction opposite to the first direction and a raised portion provided on the facing surface, and
• the raised portion comes into contact with the second portion of the second body, thereby engaging the second portion with the first portion, when the second body of which the first transport is in the second state is moved in the second direction, wherein
• the first body is provided with a biasing member that biases the raised portion toward the second body when the second body of which the first transport is in the second stat is moved in the second direction.

• a second portion provided below the first portion and being capable of engaging with the first portion,
• the first transport is in a first state in which the first transport is capable of transporting the paper sheet between the first portion and the second portion when the first portion and the second portion engage with each other,
• the first transport is in a second state in which the second portion is swingable in a direction away from the first portion and below the first portion by an own weight of the second portion about a first swing axis extending in a direction orthogonal to the first direction and horizontal when engagement between the first portion and the second portion is released, wherein
• the first body includes a facing surface that faces the second body when the second body of which the first transport is in the second state is moved in a second direction opposite to the first direction and a raised portion provided on the facing surface, and
• the raised portion comes into contact with the second portion of the second body, thereby engaging the second portion with the first portion, when the second body of which the first transport is in the second state is moved in the second direction, wherein
• the raised portion includes a plurality of projections, and
• the plurality of projections is arranged in a direction in which the first swing axis extends.

A paper sheet handling machine, comprising:

• a first body;
• and
• a second body provided above the first body and including a first transport that is configured to transport a paper sheet, wherein
• the first transport includes
• a first portion extending in a horizontal direction in a first direction from a rear side of the machine to a front side of the machine being opposite of the rear side of the machine, and
• a second portion provided below the first portion and being capable of engaging with the first portion,
• the first transport is in a first state in which the first transport is capable of transporting the paper sheet between the first portion and the second portion when the first portion and the second portion engage with each other,
• the first transport is in a second state in which the second portion is swingable in a direction away from the first portion and below the first portion by an own weight of the second portion about a first swing axis extending in a direction orthogonal to the first direction and horizontal when engagement between the first portion and the second portion is released, wherein
• the first body includes a facing surface that faces the second body when the second body of which the first transport is in the second state is moved in a second direction opposite to the first direction and a raised portion provided on the facing surface, and
• the raised portion comes into contact with the second portion of the second body, thereby engaging the second portion with the first portion, when the second body of which the first transport is in the second state is moved in the second direction, wherein
• the first body includes a contact portion having the raised portion, wherein
• the contact portion further has a corner on the first direction side of the first body, wherein
• the corner comes into contact with the second portion of the second body, thereby guiding movement of the second portion to the first portion, when the second body of which the first transport path is in the second state is moved in the second direction.
