    摘要: Provided is a locking/unlocking device having a simpler structure and capable of automatically unlocking a paper sheet storage. The locking/unlocking device comprises: a key unit 330 having a key 331 for locking/unlocking a lock, and a key rotation motor 333 for providing the key with a rotational driving force to lock/unlock the lock; and a key moving mechanism 360 for moving the key unit forward and backward. The key moving mechanism comprises: a rack plate 365 for providing a driving force to the key unit by moving forward and backward between an initial position to allow the key unit to be moved to a spaced position where the key is spaced apart from the lock and a forward position to allow the key unit to be moved to a locking/unlocking position where the key locks/unlocks the lock; and an extension coil spring 371 interposed between the key unit and a driving force providing member. The extension coil spring 371 normally causes the key unit to be moved forward and backward integrally with the driving force providing member. On the other hand, when the key unit is subjected to an external force opposite to the forward/backward direction of the driving force providing member, the extension coil spring 371 causes the key unit to be moved forward/backward relative to the driving force providing member.

    摘要: The present invention includes a configuration to move a transport body 500 in conjunction with movement of a moving body 200 due to repulsion applied between respective magnetic materials 213 and 523 when the moving body and the transport body are in a close location relation, and, when the moving body separates from a range of the close location relation due to halfway stop of the transport body, the transport body is moved in the opposite direction to stop at a predetermined end portion stop position, subsequently only the moving body is caused to travel in a direction further away from the transport body, and the moving body is returned into the range of the close location relation by causing the moving body to travel toward the transport body at a speed resistible against the repelling force.

    摘要: Provided is a paper sheet replenishing box (paper feed device) for replenishing reserve fund in each circulation-type paper sheet storage unit, wherein paper sheets of each denomination can be replenished from one paper sheet replenishing box in which paper sheets of different denominations having different sizes are accommodated together to a circulation unit of the respective circulation-type paper sheet storage units. The paper sheet replenishing box includes a first tray piece 201 in which a plurality of pieces of first paper sheets P1 are placed in a stacked state, a second tray piece 211 arranged immediately below the first tray piece, on which a plurality of pieces of second paper sheets P2 having a different longitudinal dimension from that of the first paper sheet are placed in a stacked state, and rear-end regulating members 204 and 214 that align front end positions in a transport direction of respective paper sheet bundles to predetermined positions. After all the first paper sheets in a bundle on the first tray piece have been fed by a feed unit 160, an uppermost surface of the second paper sheets in a bundle on the second tray piece becomes a state capable of coming in contact with the feed unit.

    摘要: Provided is a drive transmission switching mechanism that can switch and drive two circulation units by one motor in response to a switching operation of a paper sheet transport direction. A paper sheet storage unit includes a first circulation unit 100 and a second circulation unit 200 that respectively receive transported paper sheets upon reception of a drive force from a single motor 302 and feed paper sheets stored therein, a sorter 310 that sorts paper sheets to either one of the circulation units, and a drive transmission switching mechanism 400 that transmits a drive force from the motor to either one of the circulation units. The drive transmission switching mechanism is activated in conjunction with an operation to change the posture of the sorter, thereby switching and transmitting the drive force to either one of the circulation units.

    摘要: To correct a posture of a paper sheet inserted from various positions and angles to a normal transport state without causing any deformation due to contact with a side wall while transporting the paper sheet continuously and non-intermittently. A drive-side unit (20) includes at least one drive roller (25) that is supported rotatably about a shaft orthogonal to a normal paper-sheet transport direction and axially movably, an elastic biasing member (40) that elastically biases the drive roller in an axial direction, and a cam mechanism (50) that transmits a driving force from a driving source to the drive roller, and operates when an external force exceeding a predetermined value in a direction other than a normal transport direction is applied to the paper sheet transported by the drive roller, so as to change an axial position of the drive roller against an elastic biasing force, and a driven-side unit (100) includes a driven roller that changes a transport grip between the drive roller and a paper sheet according to a change of an axial position of the drive roller.
