Abstract

The invention provides a paper sheet separating and accumulating apparatus which prevents a discharged paper money from entering into an accumulating carrier path in the case of discharging the paper money, and inhibits a jam from being generated. The paper sheet separating and accumulating apparatus is provided with a movable portion (for example, a stack guide, a detection lever, and a pressurized member) which is changed its position in correspondence to a movement of a paper sheet to a position at which an elevating plate discharges the paper sheet from an accumulating portion, and the movable portion is provided with a shielding portion (for example, a concavity and convexity of the movable portion and a shielding member) shielding a route from a two-way carrier path to an accumulating carrier path, in the case of discharging the paper sheet from the accumulating portion.

Claims8

Dependent claims

A paper sheet separating and accumulating apparatus comprising:

an accumulating portion having an elevating plate and accumulating a paper sheet on said elevating plate;
an accumulating carrier path carrying the paper sheet accumulated in said accumulating portion;
a separating carrier path carrying the paper sheet discharged from said accumulating portion;
a two-way carrier path through which both of said accumulated paper sheet and said discharged paper sheet pass;
a branch portion branching said two-way carrier path into said accumulating carrier path and said separating carrier path;
and
a movable portion moving in correspondence to an arrangement of the paper sheet to a position at which said elevating plate discharges the paper sheet from said accumulating portion,
wherein said movable portion has a shielding portion shielding the path from said two-way carrier path to said accumulating carrier path, in the case of discharging the paper sheet from said accumulating portion.
