Paper sheet handling apparatus

A paper sheet handling apparatus comprising:

• a housing having a first opening that is opened and closed by an opening and closing unit, the housing being configured such that the inside thereof can be accessed through the first opening when the opening and closing unit opens the first opening;
• a transport path forming member disposed inside the housing, the transport path forming member being configured to form a transport path that transports paper sheets while sandwiching each paper sheet in a direction of the thickness of the paper sheet;
• and
• a handling unit disposed at a predetermined position inside the housing, the handling unit being configured to perform predetermined handling on the paper sheets being transported by the transport path, wherein
• when jamming of paper sheets occurs in the transport path, the transport path forming member is displaceable so as to open the transport path, in a state where the inside of the housing is opened by the opening and closing unit,
• the handling unit disposed adjacent to the transport path is movable from the predetermined position so as to form a space that allows the transport path forming member to be displaceable,
• the housing is disposed with a second opening, different from the first opening, that allows the inside of the housing to communicate with the outside thereof, and
• at least a portion of the handling unit protrudes to the outside of the housing through the second opening when the handling unit is moved from the predetermined position.

A paper sheet handling apparatus comprising:

• a housing having a first opening and a cover that can open and close the first opening;
• a receiving unit configured to receive paper sheets from outside to inside of the housing;
• a transport unit that is disposed inside of the housing and transports the paper sheets received by the receiving unit, the transport unit having a transport path formed by a transport path forming member;
• and
• a stacker that is disposed inside of the housing and configured to stack the paper sheets transported by the transport unit, wherein
• the housing is configured such that the inside of the housing is exposed through the first opening when the cover opens the first opening,
• the transport path forming member is displaceable so as to make the transport unit accessible when the cover opens the first opening, and
• the stacker disposed adjacent to the transport unit is movable so as to form a space that allows the transport path forming member to be displaced.
