Abstract
A bank-note processing device wherein disposed between a pair of rotary drums (22, 23) is a stacker lever (53) that presses that portion of the bank-note (31) inserted in bank-note guide slits (22b, 23b) which is positioned on the side of a bank-note reverse-flowing-preventive lever (32) toward a stacker (20) in operative association with the movement of a stacker chute (51), whereby even if a large number of wrinkled bank-notes are received in the stacker, jamming of bank-notes is minimized.
Claims2
A bank-note processing device comprising bank-note shifting means for temporarily inserting a bank-note transported from a bank-note slot and then parallel shifting the bank-note so as to store the bank-note in a stacker, having a pair of rotary drums which rotate in directions opposite from each other at a same phase, bank-note guide slits which are formed in the longitudinal direction of each cylindrical surface of the pair of rotary drums for temporarily inserting the transported bank-note, and a stacker chute which interlocks with the rotation of the pair of rotary drums for pushing the roughly center area of the bank-note inserted into the bank-note guide slits toward the stacker side;
- and a bank-note reverse-flowing-preventive lever which is disposed between the pair of rotary drums and near the leading ends of the bank-note guide slits for engaging with the bottom end of the bank-note parallel shifted from the bank-note guide slits to the stacker side, so as to prevent the return of the bank-note parallel shifted to the stacker side, characterized in that
- a stacker lever for pushing a portion positioned at the bank-note reverse-flowing-preventive lever side of the bank-note inserted in the bank-note guide slits toward the stacker side is disposed between the pair of rotary drums.
