Abstract
A bank-note processing device wherein disposed between a pair of rotary drums (22, 23) is a stacker lever (53) that presses that portion of the bank-note (31) inserted in bank-note guide slits (22b, 23b) which is positioned on the side of a bank-note reverse-flowing-preventive lever (32) toward a stacker (20) in operative association with the movement of a stacker chute (51), whereby even if a large number of wrinkled bank-notes are received in the stacker, jamming of bank-notes is minimized.
Claims5
A bank-note processing device comprising bank-note shifting means for temporarily inserting a bank-note transported from a bank-note slot and then parallel shifting the bank-note so as to store the bank-note in a stacker, having a pair of rotary drums which rotate in directions opposite from each other at a same phase, bank-note guide slits which are formed in the longitudinal direction of each cylindrical surface of the pair of rotary drums for temporarily inserting the transported bank-note, and a stacker chute which interlocks with the rotation of the pair of rotary drums for pushing the roughly center area of the bank-note inserted into the bank-note guide slits toward the stacker side;
- and a bank-note reverse-flowing-preventive lever which is disposed between the pair of rotary drums and near the leading ends of the bank-note guide slits for engaging with the bottom end of the bank-note parallel shifted from the bank-note guide slits to the stacker side, so as to prevent the return of the bank-note parallel shifted to the stacker side, characterized in that
- a stacker lever for pushing a portion positioned at the bank-note reverse-flowing-preventive lever side of the bank-note inserted in the bank-note guide slits toward the stacker side is disposed between the pair of rotary drums.
A bank-note processing device comprising:
- bank-note shifting means for temporarily inserting a bank-note inserted from a bank-note slot and then parallel shifting the bank-note so as to store the bank-note in a stacker, having a pair of rotary drums which rotate in directions opposite from each other at a same phase, bank-note guide slits which are formed in the longitudinal direction of each cylindrical surface of the pair of rotary drums for temporarily inserting the inserted bank-note, and a stacker chute which interlocks with the rotation of the pair of rotary drums for pushing the roughly center area of the bank-note inserted in the bank-note guide slits toward the stacker side;
- and bank-note transporting means for transporting the bank-note inserted from the bank-note slot along the bank-note guiding slots of the pair of rotary drums, characterized in that the bank-note transporting means further comprises:
- a shaft disposed adjacent to the free end of the stacker chute, a pair of pulleys supported by both ends of the shaft;
- and
- a pair of bank-note transporting belts which loop the pair of pulleys respectively, and the pair of bank-note transporting belts are stretched along the bank-note guide slits from the leading ends of the bank-note guide slits so as to transport the inserted bank-note along the bank-note guide slits from the leading ends of the bank-note guide slits when the bank-note transporting belts are driven and rotated.
A bank-note processing device comprising shutter means for opening/closing a bank-note transporting route, characterized in that the shutter means further comprises:
- a shutter slidably disposed toward the bank-note transporting route;
- and
- a crank mechanism which converts the rotational driving force of a motor in one direction to a reciprocating motion of the shutter for the bank-note transporting route.
