Cassette mounting apparatus, money handling apparatus, and money handling system

A cassette mounting apparatus, comprising:

• an apparatus-side connector connectable to a cassette-side connector of a cassette that stores money;
• a cassette mounting section that enables the cassette to be mounted therein;
• and
• a connection processing section that connects the apparatus-side connector to the cassette-side connector by moving the apparatus-side connector in a direction closer to the cassette-side connector,
• wherein the connection processing section moves the apparatus-side connector in the direction closer to the cassette-side connector in conjunction with a movement of the cassette when the cassette is mounted in the cassette mounting section,
• wherein the connection processing section comprises:
• an interlocking section that moves in conjunction with the movement of the cassette when the cassette is mounted in the cassette mounting section;
• and
• a moving section that moves the apparatus-side connector in the direction closer to the cassette-side connector in accordance with a movement of the interlocking section,
• wherein the cassette mounting section comprises:
• a cassette container that stores the cassette;
• and
• a container insertion section into which the cassette container is inserted so that the cassette stored in the cassette container is mounted,
• wherein the interlocking section moves in conjunction with a movement of the cassette container when the cassette container is inserted into the container insertion section,
• wherein the apparatus-side connector and the moving section are provided in the cassette container,
• wherein the interlocking section comprises:
• an interlocking member provided in the cassette container;
• and
• an interlocking control section that is provided in the container insertion section and that moves the interlocking member in conjunction with the movement of the cassette container, and
• wherein the moving section moves the apparatus-side connector in the direction closer to the cassette-side connector in accordance with the movement of the interlocking member.

• wherein a removal direction of the cassette container is opposite to an insertion direction of the cassette container, and
• wherein the moving section comprises:
• a holding member that holds the apparatus side connector such that the apparatus side connector is positioned on an insertion direction side of the cassette stored in the cassette container and that is movable in the insertion direction;
• a moving member that is provided on a removal direction side of the holding member and that moves in the removal direction in accordance with the movement of the interlocking section when the cassette container is inserted into the container insertion section;
• and
• an elastic section that separably connects the holding member to the moving member.
