Bill Storage Device in Automated Teller Machine and Method for Storing Bill in the Same

Abstract

The bill storage device in an automated teller machine includes an input port through which a bill introduced in the automated teller machine is inputted perpendicularly; a pair of opening/closing plates for supporting both side surfaces of the bill inputted into the input port; first and second storage parts arranged at both sides of the input port; a push bar placed in the input port and stroke-operated selectively toward the storage part in which the bill is inputting; a push bar driving motor for performing a stroke-operation of the push bar; and a pair of push plates forcing a pressure toward the input port to support perpendicularly the bill stored by a stroke-operation of the push bar.
