Abstract
A structure maintains a gap in a paper money discriminating apparatus that may be provided in an automatic teller machine. The structure may include a paper money discriminating sensor that is provided in an upper body to discriminate whether a paper money to be conveyed along a conveyance path is counterfeit money, a lower body that is provided so as to face the paper money discriminating sensor with a predetermined gap therebetween, and spacing protrusions that protrude upward from an upper surface of the lower body and come in contact with both end portions of the paper money discriminating sensor so as to maintain a constant gap between a lower surface of the paper money discriminating sensor and the upper surface of the lower body.
Claims9
A structure for maintaining a gap in a paper money discriminating apparatus, the structure comprising:
- a paper money discriminating sensor that is provided in an upper body, across a width of a paper money conveyed, to discriminate whether a paper money to be conveyed along a conveyance path is counterfeit money;
- a lower body that is provided so as to face the paper money discriminating sensor with a predetermined gap therebetween;
- and
- spacing protrusions that protrude upward from both end portions of an upper surface of the lower body and directly come in contact with both end portions of the paper money discriminating sensor so as to maintain a constant gap between a lower surface of the paper money discriminating sensor and the upper surface of the lower body, the upper surface of the lower body forming a paper money conveying surface;
- wherein a paper money is conveyed through the constant gap formed by the lower surface of the paper money discriminating sensor, the spacing protrusions, and the upper surface of the lower body.
A paper money discriminating apparatus comprising:
- an upper body and a lower body forming a conveyance path for conveying paper money therebetween;
- a paper money discriminating sensor provided in the upper body, across a width of a paper money conveyed, to discriminate whether paper money conveyed along the conveyance path is counterfeit money,
- wherein the lower body faces the paper money discriminating sensor with a predetermined gap therebetween;
- and
- spacing protrusions that protrude upward from both end portions of an upper surface of the lower body and directly come in contact with both end portions of the paper money discriminating sensor so as to maintain a constant gap between the lower surface of the paper money discriminating sensor and the upper surface of the lower body, the upper surface of the lower body forming a paper money conveying surface;
- wherein a paper money is conveyed through the constant gap formed by the lower surface of the paper money discriminating sensor, the spacing protrusions, and the upper surface of the lower body.
