Abstract
Disclosed is a compact bill accumulation device which has a bill accumulation space with decreased depth and does not cause bill accumulation errors. The bill accumulation device (100) is provided with front guides (8) and reverse guides which form a bill accumulation space, and with a bill stopper (6) which, disposed on the front guides (8), stops bills released by a by a feed roller (1), wherein bills stopped by said bill stopper (6) are accumulated on a stage (4). Multiple V-shaped grooves are formed on elongate ribs (18) and disposed along the long direction of the ribs, said grooves extending in the short direction thereof; said ribs (18) are arranged in rows and at prescribed intervals on either side of the front guides (8) so as to be perpendicular to said released bills.
Claims18
A bill accumulation device, comprising:
- a guide member for stopping bills discharged by a conveying means;
- a stage, upon which the bills stopped by the guide member are stacked;
- and
- a plurality of elongated shaped ribs each extending in a rib long length direction, and each having a plurality of grooves that extend along a rib short length direction, the ribs, in the rib long length direction, being respectively disposed orthogonal to the bills being discharged, with plural ones of the ribs being disposed in a row at specific intervals from each other on both sides of the guide member, wherein:
- each of the ribs has curved portions, and
- a bill-receiving face of each of the ribs is positioned at a downstream side from a bill-receiving face of the guide member in a bill discharge direction.
A bill accumulation device, comprising:
- a guide member that stops bills discharged by a conveying means;
- a stage, upon which the bills stopped by the guide member are stacked;
- and
- a plurality of elongated shaped ribs respectively disposed on each of outer sides of the guide member,
- wherein each of the ribs includes a plurality of grooves, with curved portions being formed inside the grooves.
A bill accumulation device, comprising:
- a front guide;
- a reverse guide;
- an accumulation space for bills;
- a bill stopper provided on the front guide for receiving and stopping bills discharged by a conveying means;
- a stage, upon which the bills that have been received and stopped by the bill stopper, are stacked;
- and
- a plurality of elongated shaped ribs each extending in a rib long length direction, and each having a plurality of V-shaped grooves that extend along a rib short length direction, the ribs, in the rib long length direction, being respectively disposed orthogonal to the bills being discharged, the ribs being disposed in a row at specific intervals from each other on both sides of the front guide, the grooves on each of the ribs being profiled with an outside curved portion at a side opposite of a front guide side of the groove.
