By doing so, the bills are stored upright in a state of being inclined by approximately 30 degrees along the inclined surface of the first bill partitioning plate 17a. At this time, the upper part of the bill does not protrude from the drawer 1.

On the other hand, when a large-sized banknote whose vertical size is larger than the height h1 of the first banknote partition plate 17a but smaller than the height h2 of the second banknote partition plate 17b is accommodated in this area, Instead of the first bill partitioning plate 17a, a second bill partitioning plate 17b may be attached. By doing so, the bills are stored upright in a state of being inclined at approximately 35 degrees along the inclined surface of the second bill partitioning plate 17b. Also in this case, the upper part of the bill does not protrude from the drawer 1.

In the case where a maximum size banknote whose vertical size is larger than the height h2 of the second banknote partition plate 17b but smaller than the height h3 of the third banknote partition plate 17c is accommodated in this area, The third bill partitioning plate 17c may be attached. By doing so, the bills are transferred to the third bill partition plate 17.
It is housed in a vertical form in a state of being inclined at about 40 degrees along the inclined surface of c. Also in this case, the upper part of the bill does not protrude from the drawer 1.

Other partition plate mounting portions 30b, 30c, 30d
The same applies to.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the partition plate mounting portions 30a, 30b capable of detachably mounting the three types of banknote partition plates 17a, 17b, 17c having different inclination angles to the banknote storage portions 12A, 12B. , 30c, 30d are provided at predetermined intervals along the depth of the drawer 1, and each of the partition plate mounting portions 30a, 30b, 30c, 30d has a banknote partition plate 17a, 17b, 17c suitable for the size of a banknote.
Are selectively attached, and the bill partitioning plates 17a, 17b,
Since the bills are accommodated in the upright state by 17c, the inclination angle of the bill partitioning plates stacked in the upright state can be arbitrarily changed.

Therefore, by increasing the inclination angle of the banknotes having a small vertical size and increasing the inclination angle of the banknotes having a large vertical size, the drawer 1 has a limited height and depth. Thus, various kinds of banknotes of various sizes can be sorted into denominations and can be accommodated without defects.

In the above-described embodiment, the partition plate mounting portion is constituted by the square hole 14, the corresponding notch portion 15 at the lower edge, and the three notch portions 16 at the upper edge. The partition plate mounting portion is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment as long as the structure allows detachably mounting the partition plate.

Further, the number of banknote dividers and the pattern of the inclination angle are not limited to those of the above-described embodiment, but may be variously changed without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0039]

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, it is possible to arbitrarily change the inclination angle of the partition plates to be stacked in a state where the banknotes are erected, and therefore, it is possible to tilt the banknotes with a small vertical size. By increasing the angle of inclination for banknotes with a small angle and a large vertical size, various types of banknotes of various sizes within a limited height and depth can be classified and accommodated without defects. We can provide a cash register drawer that can do it.
