Regarding machines.

(Prior Art) Recently, various banknote processing machines used in financial institutions have been developed and put into practical use, but in particular, the banknote processing machines that accept the banknotes are temporarily held by type, such as by denomination, and transactions are completed. When a transaction is not completed, the bill is taken out from the temporary holding section and checked, or is returned to the customer. There is a demand for deposit and withdrawal machines that eject banknotes stored by denomination and use them as banknotes for withdrawal.

These machines are installed at bank counters and used by tellers, but in the conventional machines, the receiving port and temporary storage area were arranged in the width direction of the machine at the front of the machine.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) However, with such a machine, one machine is installed between two tellers and used jointly,
Alternatively, when used by installing it next to a side desk or the like, there is a problem in that the banknotes can only be taken out from one side from the temporary storage section, resulting in poor operability. In addition, the installation space (mainly width) is large, and the development of a device that requires a small installation space has been desired.

On the other hand, since the conveyance path for sending banknotes to the temporary holding section is provided in the main body of the machine, removing the front or rear cover is necessary to troubleshoot problems such as bill jams in this conveyance path and for maintenance and inspection. This made it extremely difficult to do.

In order to meet the above requirements, this invention can be installed so that it will not get in the way even if it is placed between two tellers, it can be operated from either the left or right side, and it can be placed next to a side table etc. Even if installed, we have considered operability so that it can be operated from the vacant side, and furthermore, we can provide a banknote processing machine with a small installation space (mainly width), and can easily handle the above troubleshooting and maintenance inspections. The purpose of this invention is to provide a banknote handling machine.
