In FIGS. 5 to 8, 9 is a banknote that has been counted and stacked. Further, the feeding mechanism 3 and the adhesive cutting mechanism 5 are accommodated in the outer box 1.

The operation of the bill binding apparatus according to this embodiment will be described below. As shown in FIG. 5, the upper and lower folding rods 7 are located on the left side of the support member 6 that has entered the front side of the bill storage hole 21, and are inserted from the receiving port 15 into the outer case 1. The banknotes are inserted, the banknotes 9 which are counted and stacked by a banknote counting mechanism (not shown) are inserted between the folding bar 7 and the receiving block 8 in the supporting member 6, and the lower end of the banknote 9 is supported by the supporting member. It is positioned on the inner peripheral lower surface 6b of 6 and vertically held by an appropriate means (not shown).

In this state, the feed motor 31 of the paper band feeding mechanism 3 and the operation motor 51 of the adhesive cutting mechanism 5 are stopped, and the advancing / retreating member 53 of the adhesive cutting mechanism 5 is most retracted to the outside. Then, the paper band 4 is inserted into the insertion hole 55d of the restraining member 55 supported by the advancing / retreating member 53, and the leading end of the paper band 4 is positioned at the lower end thereof.

In this state, the feed motor 31 is driven to rotate in the forward direction to rotate the feed roller 32 in the normal direction, and the feed roller 32 and the support roller 33 sandwich the feed groove 23 and the insertion hole 55d of the holding member 55. The paper band 4 is sent out downward and is passed through the gap between the placing hole 21 and the supporting member 6 from below to be supported along the peripheral surface of the placing hole 21 and the tip of the paper band 4 is supported. It is positioned on the lower right outside of the receiving block 8, and the feed motor 31 is stopped to stop the feeding of the paper band 4.

In the above operation, the length of the paper band 4 is detected by the length detector 34 by counting the number of the holes 34c of the perforated disk 34 which rotates integrally with the feed roller 32 by the counting arm 34b. When the length reaches a predetermined length, the feed motor 31 is stopped, and a stop is provided at a position where a gap is provided outside the portion where the leading end of the paper band 4 extends slightly below the sticking member 57 of the sticking and cutting mechanism 5 to face it.

Next, the operation motor 51 of the adhesive cutting mechanism 5 is driven, the eccentric cam 52 is rotated clockwise, and the substrate 53a of the advancing / retreating member 53 is pushed to the inside (left side) to provide the substrate 53a. While the coil spring 54a loosely fitted to the reciprocating rod 54 is compressed, the advancing / retreating member 53 is advanced to the left, and as shown in FIG. 6, the tip of the restraining member 55 supported by the advancing / retreating member 53 causes the tip of the paper band 4 to move. The part is pressed against the outer surface of the block 8. In this state, the cutting member 56 supported by the advancing / retreating member 53 and the front end of the adhering member 57 are separated from the paper band 4.

After that, the operation motor 51 is stopped, the upper and lower folding rods 7 are moved to the right side, and as shown in FIG. 7, the overlapping banknotes 9 are pressed against the receiving block 8 and bent into a dogleg shape. And the support member 6 is retracted to the back side of the outer box 1.

Subsequently, the feed motor 31 is reversely driven to reversely rotate the feed roller 32, so that the paper band 4 is pulled back to receive the central portion of the bill 9 in the length direction, that is, the forward and rearward direction central portion of FIG. Surround with 8 and tighten.

At this time, since the supporting member 6 is retracted to the rear surface of the outer box 1, and the upper and lower bending bars 7 are located at the front end on the rear surface side of the front surface of the apparatus main body 2, the supporting member 6 is formed. 6 and the upper and lower folding rods 7 do not interfere with the paper band 4, and the central portion of the banknote 9 in the front and rear direction can be fastened with the paper band 4. Also, when the paper band 4 is tightened to a predetermined tightness, that is, tension, the feed roller 32 slips on the roller shaft 32a, and the paper band 4 cannot be pulled back. It is possible to properly maintain the tightening force of the banknotes 9 having different numbers of sheets.

After stopping the feed roller 32, the operation motor 51 is driven to rotate the eccentric cam 52 in the clockwise direction, and the advancing / retreating member 53 is moved forward to the left again, thereby heating the attaching member 57. 8 advances, and as shown in FIG. 8, the portion of the paper band 4 that is close to the lower side of the holding member 55 is overlapped with the leading edge of the paper band 4 and pressed against the outer surface of the receiving block 8 by the tip of the paper band 4, and By heating and pressing the stacked members, they are attached by heat fusion. By continuing the rotation of the eccentric cam 52 by driving the operation motor 51 and further advancing the advancing / retreating member 53 to the left, the cutting member 56 advances to the left, and the blade portion 56d at the tip thereof causes the paper band 4 to move. The portion stretched between the pressing member 55 and the adhesive member 57 is cut at the lower surface position of the pressing member 55.

After that, the eccentric cam 52 rotates 360 ° (1 rotation) by the rotation of the operation motor 51, returns to the position before the operation and stops, and the return spring 54a loosely fitted to the reciprocating rod 54 of the advancing / retreating member 53. Due to the restoring force, the advancing / retreating member 53 retreats to the right, returns the upper and lower bending rods 7 and the supporting member 9 to the positions before the operation, puts a hand through the outlet 11 of the outer box 1, and binds them with the paper band 4. The banknote 9 is removed from the receiving block 8 and taken out of the outer box 1.

After the bill 9 is taken out, the operations shown in FIGS. 5 to 8 and described above can be repeated. Further, the bills 9 taken out can be returned to a straight shape from the bent state of the V-shape so that a large number of the bills 9 which have been counted and overlapped can be bound by the paper band 4 with an appropriate tightness.

As described above, the banknote binding apparatus of this embodiment can bind the banknotes 9 bent in a V shape in a straight line, and can bind the banknotes 9 in a continuous mechanical operation. However, the binding operation of the banknotes 9 can be easily performed in a short time. In addition, the front end of the paper band 4 is pressed and held by the front end of the member 55 against the outer surface of the receiving block 8, and in this state, the feed roller 32 is rotated in the reverse direction to pull back the paper band 4. Thus, the bills 9 can be tightened with an appropriate tension, and the bills 9 bound by the paper band 4 will not fall out even if the numbers of the bills 9 are different and the thicknesses thereof are changed.

Further, since the length of the paper band 4 is regulated by the length detector 34 to be constant, the front end of the paper band 4 can be accurately held at the holding block 8 and then It is possible to prevent the sticking and the cutting failure due to the positional displacement between the adhesive member 57, the cutting member 55 and the paper band 4.

Since the tightening force of the paper tape 4 due to the reverse rotation of the feed roller 32 is regulated to be constant by the slip of the feed roller 32 with respect to the roller shaft 32a, it is possible to prevent a trouble such as tearing due to over-tightening of the paper band 4.

Furthermore, the sticking / cutting mechanism 5 fits the base plate 53 a of the advancing / retreating member 53, and the upper and lower reciprocating rods 54 in the guide hole 25 of the apparatus main body 2 so as to be slidable by the rotation of the eccentric cam 52. Since the return springs 54a that are loosely fitted to the upper and lower reciprocating rods 54 press the outer peripheral surface of the eccentric cam 52, the advancing / retreating member 53 linearly moves in the inner / outer (left / right) direction according to the shape of the eccentric cam 52. Proper operation can be performed by moving forward and backward.

Then, the pressing member 55, the cutting member 56, and the adhesive member 57 are slidably fitted to the upper, middle, and lower receiving rods 55a, 56a, 57a, respectively, which are projected to the inside of the substrate 53a of the advancing / retreating member 53, and The restraining member 55, the cutting member 56, and the adhering member 57 are supported inside the substrate 53a by the small coil springs 55c, 56c, and 57c that are loosely fitted to the receiving rods 55a, 56a, and 57a, respectively, and the restraining member 55 and the cutting member are supported. 56, the tip end of the sticking member 57 is arranged close to, far from, and in the middle of the receiving block 8 so that the restraining member 55, the sticking member 57, It is easy to advance the cutting member 56 in order and reliably operate these members.

Particularly, the paper band 4 is inserted through the paper band insertion hole 55d provided at the tip of the restraining member 55, and the blade portion 56d at the tip of the cutting member 56 is used to insert the paper band 4 and the above-mentioned insertion portion. By cutting the portion stretched between the lower end of the hole 55d and the lower end of the hole 55d, it is possible to reliably cut the paper band 4 without causing the blade portion 56d to hit the block 8 or the like to be damaged.

In the present invention, the support member is divided into two parts on the front side and the back side of the device main body, and if a space for positioning the paper band is provided between them, the support member can be installed outside the device main body or the bill counting machine. You may fix it to the box. Further, the present invention can be applied to binding banknotes of different sizes and shapes by binding a stack of banknotes of the same size.
