The present invention provides a device for securely holding stacked bank notes in a bank note stacker box. The device is to be assembled in an automatic money depositing and disbursing machine, and comprises a combination of a stopper and a push cover having an operation plate fitted with a frictional member. The stopper is swingably supported by the box to be held normally at the position to constrain the fore edges of the stacked bank notes, to be swung to the position to release the fore edges of the bank notes at the commencement of the operation of sucking and pulling out the notes from the box, to be restored to the normal constraining position to prevent the remaining notes from being pulled out of the box at the termination of the operation of sucking and pulling out the notes, and to be held at a position to scrape off the bank notes conveyed by and accumulating wheel while being inserted below respective paddles of the accumulating wheel to let them fall down into the box during the operation of accumulating and stacking bank notes into the box. The push cover has the operation plate adapted to be set to the closed position to push the aft end portion of the stacked notes during the operation of sucking and pulling out the notes from the box to ensure separation of the sucked uppermost note by the action of the fitted frictional member, and adapted to be set to the open position during the operation of accumulating and stacking bank notes. Further proposed is a front cover which is co-operatively associated with the stopper such that it locks the fore end portion of the stopper to prevent the same from opening when the box is disassembled from the machine body of the automatic money depositing and disbursing machine.
A device for securely holding stacked bank notes and adapted to be assembled with an automatic money depositing and disbursing machine including a box for containing bank notes and having an upper opening through which bank notes are pulled out or stacked, a suction drum for sucking the uppermost bank note separately one by one from the underlying stacked bank notes contained in said box by applying a vacuum suction pressure on the upper surface of the uppermost bank note to pull the same out of said box, and an accumulating wheel adapted to be swung to the upper retracted position during the operation of sucking and separately pulling out the bank notes and adapted to be swung to the lower accumulating position during the operation of accumulating and stacking the bank notes into said box;
