Abstract
A purpose of this invention is to provide paper money extraction equipment for issuing only one sheet of paper money by surely picking up the top most sheet from a stack in which a plurality of paper money sheets are arranged. The extraction equipment provides a suction box with an opening for adsorbing one sheet of paper money. The paper is moved when the paper money is taken up. A roller device issues the paper money which is taken up on this suction box. The extraction equipment suction box is pivoted at (52).
Claims15
A paper money extraction device comprising:
- a suction box having an opening defining a suction region for suctioning one paper money sheet;
- a suction box drive arrangement for movement of the suction box about a pivot location, to move the suction box when the paper money sheet is taken up;
- a driven roller arrangement for issuing paper money which is taken up on the suction box, the roller arrangement including a trailing sheet engagement roller disposed downstream of the suction region, with respect to a sheet feed direction.
A paper money dispenser device comprising:
- a paper money transfer mechanism
- a sheet extraction device with a suction box having an opening defining a suction region for suctioning one paper money sheet, a suction box drive arrangement for movement of the suction box about a pivot location when the paper money sheet is taken up, to move the suction box from a take up position to a transfer position with a portion of the sheet positioned for transfer and a driven roller arrangement for issuing paper money which is taken up on the suction box, the roller arrangement including a trailing sheet engagement roller disposed downstream of the suction region, with respect to a sheet feed direction.
A feeder for feeding a sheet, the feeder comprising:
- a suction box defining an air discharge opening and an air intake opening, said suction box having an opening edge around said air intake opening, said air intake opening and said opening edge having a size for sucking an almost whole portion of the sheet;
- an air discharge fan arranged outside said suction box and arranged in communication with said discharge opening;
- a driven roller arranged within said air intake opening, said roller being smaller than said air intake opening, said roller sending out the whole portion of the sheet which is adsorbed on said opening edge;
- a shaft arranged at an end portion of said suction box, said suction box being rotatable about said shaft to move the portion of the sheet adsorbed on said opening edge;
- said suction box is rotatable between a first and second position on said shaft.
