US 2010/0301542 A1 · PAPER SHEET PROCESSING DEVICE

Abstract

A paper sheet processing device having a simplified and low cost structure capable of detecting whether or not a paper currency receiving section is attached to the device and also detecting the position of a pressing plate. The paper sheet processing device has the paper currency receiving section which can be attached to and detached from a frame and can receive a paper currency, the pressing plate (115) which is, in the paper currency receiving section, moved between a pressing position for pressing a paper currency and an initial position for permitting conveyance of the paper currency into the paper currency receiving section, a detection member (170) which can move as the pressing plate (115) moves, a sensor (172) which detects movement of the detection member (170) by detecting movement of the pressing plate (115) to the pressing position, and a movement mechanism (180) which, when the paper currency receiving section is detached from the frame, moves the detection member (170) so that the detection member (170) can be detected by the sensor (172).

Dependent claims

A paper sheet processing apparatus comprising:

a paper sheet housing part being capable of housing a paper sheet and being mountable to and demountable from a frame;
a presser plate to be moved in the paper sheet housing part between a pressing position where the paper sheet is pushed and a home position where the paper sheet is allowed to be conveyed inside the paper sheet housing part;
a detecting member being movable in accordance with a movement of the presser plate;
a sensor to detect that the detecting member is moved in accordance with the movement of the presser plate to the pressing position;
and
a moving mechanism to move the detecting member that becomes detectable by the sensor when the paper sheet housing part is demounted from the frame.
