Paper slip storage system

A paper slip storage system having a paper slip storage container being placed in conjunction with a transport mechanism for storing transported paper slips, wherein the improvement comprises:

• a temporary housing section for receiving a transported paper slip and temporarily housing it;
• a rotational displacement mechanism for rotationally displacing the temporary housing section for guiding the paper slip housed therein to a paper slip storage position of the paper slip storage container;
• a separation mechanism for blocking rotation of the paper slip housed in said temporary housing section against operation of rotational displacement of said temporary housing section and separating the paper slip from said temporary housing section at the paper slip storage position of the paper slip storage container;
• and
• a first sensor for detecting said temporary housing section being at a position where it can receive a paper slip;
• said rotational displacement mechanism having a rotation body and a drive mechanism for rotationally driving said rotation body,
• said paper slip storage container having an area for stacking and storing paper slips separated from said temporary housing section and a mechanism being provided under said area for pressing the stacked paper slips in a direction of said rotation body,
• said paper slip pressing mechanism pressing the paper slips so that the uppermost one of the stacked paper slips comes into contact with an outer peripheral surface of said rotation body.

• wherein said rotational displacement mechanism has a rotation body and a drive mechanism for rotationally driving said rotation body,
• wherein said paper slips storage container has an area for stacking and storing paper slips separated from said temporary housing section and a mechanism being provided under said area for pressing the stacked paper slips in a direction of said rotation body,
• wherein said paper slip pressing mechanism presses the paper slips so that the uppermost one of the stacked paper slips comes into contact with an outer peripheral surface of said rotation body,
• wherein said rotation body is made of a rotation drum and said temporary housing section is a channel provided on said rotation drum,
• wherein said rotation drum comprises a plurality of separate subdrums combined axially, further including in at least one of gaps between the subdrums, a clamp mechanism for temporarily fixing and holding a paper slip housed in said channel while the paper slip is guided to the paper slip storage position of said paper slip storage container after it has been received, and
• wherein said clamp mechanism has an arm member being supported swingably by at least any one of the subdrums for releasably restraining the paper slip housed in said channel and a working mechanism for causing said arm member to restrain and release the paper slip according to rotation angle positions of said channel.
