At least one of the rollers 515 is coupled to a drive shaft (not shown), the rollers 515 are rotated on the basis of an application of a rotational driving force from the drive shaft, and the bank bill 521 is carried between the rollers 515. Further, the bank bill carried from the delivery carrier path 266 is received by the rollers 515 so as to take in the upper bank bill mechanism 202, and the bank bill is, on the contrary, delivered to the delivery carrier path 266 from the upper bank bill mechanism 202. Further, when the power is not transmitted to the drive shaft, the rollers 515 stop rotation and stand ready to carry the bank bill 521.
  • the delivery carrier path 266 is provided in an upper portion side with a pair of left and right guide members 503 and 504 guiding the bank bill 521 from both sides, and a pair of left and right springs 508 and 509, is provided in an intermediate portion with a pair of upper and lower pulleys 510 and 522 supporting the carrier belt 511, rollers 530 and 531 provided in an opposing manner in the carrier belt 511 while forming a pair, and a drive transmitting lever 516, and is provided in a lower portion side with a gear 518 provided in the drive transmitting lever 516, an energizing spring 534, a pair of left and right guide members 535 and 536, and a pair of left and right springs 537 and 538.

Accordingly, it is possible to avoid a contact at a time when the upper bank bill mechanism 202 is taken out of the bank bill handling apparatus 200, and it is possible to take out the upper bank bill mechanism 202.
  • the spring 508 provided in the left side of the delivery carrier path 266 employs, for example, a torsion coil spring, and is arranged by pivoting a coil portion of the spring 508 to a support shaft 304b protruded to a passage wall 304a surrounding the delivery passage of the coupling portion 304, fixing one end thereof to the passage wall 304a, and bringing the other end into contact in an energizing manner with an outer surface side of the guide member 503 provided in a left side of the drawing. Accordingly, the spring 508 energizes the guide member 503 against the opposing guide member 504 side around the rotating shaft 505.

Accordingly, the spring 509 energizes the guide member 504 against the opposing guide member 503 side around the rotating shaft 506. In this case, in this embodiment, an elastic force of the left spring 508 is set stronger than an elastic force of the right spring 509. Further, in a state in which the upper bank bill mechanism 202 and the lower bank bill mechanism 204 are stored, the both side guide members 503 and 504 form the delivery carrier path 266 in a vertical direction in parallel.

Further, the gear 518 is applied as the drive transmitting portion provided in the inner portion of the apparatus main body, and is engaged with the drive gear 517 of the lower bank bill mechanism 204. Accordingly, the rotational driving force from the lower bank bill mechanism 204 is generally transmitted to the drive side pulley 522 via the gears 517 and 518.
  • the energizing spring 534 energizes the lower end portion 516b of the drive transmitting lever 516 in a leftward direction in the drawing.

Accordingly, it is possible to do away with the pinching separation of the bank bill between the upper bank bill mechanism 202 and the delivery carrier path 266, thereby securing the delivery and carrier of the bank bill, and the carrier of one bank bill does not stop in the process.
  • an interval between the bank bill pinching portions separated from the delivery carrier path 266 at the upper pinching position of a pair of rollers 515 of the upper bank bill mechanism 202, and the lower pinching position of a pair of rollers 515a of the lower bank bill mechanism 204 is set longer than the length in the carrier direction of the bank bill 521. Accordingly, the upper bank bill mechanism 202 and the lower bank bill mechanism 204 do not simultaneously pinch the same bank bill 521. Accordingly, even if one of the upper bank bill mechanism 202 and the lower bank bill mechanism 204 is drawn in the case that the residual bank bill exists in the delivery carrier path 266, the bank bill does not collapse because both ends of the bank bill 521 are not gripped.

Further, the rotation of the guide member 504 in the draw-out direction is smoothened by making an energizing pressure of the right spring 509 weaker than an energizing force of the left spring 508.
  • the lower end portion of the bank bill 521 is completely drawn out of the delivery carrier path 266 of the coupling portion 304, and is held in a state of being vertically suspended by the upper bank bill mechanism 202.
