In FIG. 1, the transport guide 12 is an apparatus-side transport guide connected to the banknote transport path 8 on the apparatus 1 body side, and the transport guide 13 is a cassette-side transport guide connected to the banknote storage cassettes 2 and 3. . A feed roller 14 is rotatably attached to each of the transport guides 12 and 13. The bill delivery unit is configured by arranging conveyance guides 12 and 13 having symmetrical shapes with the conveyance guides 12 and 13 above the conveyance guides 12 and 13, respectively.
[0011]
The central portions 15 and 16 of the apparatus-side transport guide 12 and the cassette-side transport guide 13 facing each other are formed obliquely with respect to the bill transport direction (arrow C or D direction). Tapered portions 15a and 16a are formed. A protruding portion 17 is formed on the right side of the central portion 15 of the apparatus-side conveyance guide 12, that is, on the tip end side of the central portion 15 formed obliquely, and a step portion 18 formed on the right side of the cassette-side conveyance guide 13. I'm stuck in. A protrusion 19 is formed on the left side of the central portion 16 of the cassette-side transport guide 12, that is, on the tip end side of the central portion 16 that is formed obliquely, and a step portion 20 formed on the left side of the apparatus-side transport guide 12. I'm stuck in.
[0012]
Tapered portions 17a, 19a, 18a, and 20a are formed on the protruding portions 17 and 19 and the step portions 18 and 20, respectively. The protrusion part 17 and the protrusion part 19 are in the positional relationship overlapping in the arrow AB direction (direction orthogonal to the bill conveyance direction). That is, when the bill to be conveyed passes through the delivery portion, the bill is always positioned on either the protruding portion 17 or the protruding portion 19.
[0013]
A cutout portion 21 is formed outside the protruding portion 17 and the stepped portion 18, and a cutout portion 22 is formed outside the protruding portion 19 and the stepped portion 20 on the opposite side. The notches 21 and 22 prevent the bills with the folded corners from entering between the apparatus-side transport guide 12 and the cassette-side transport guide 13. The notches 21 and 22 are formed by notching the opposite end portions of the apparatus-side transport guide 12 and the cassette-side transport guide 13, respectively. This is because the bill is transported in both directions. When conveying only in one direction, you may form by notching the both ends of the opposing part of the conveyance guide by the side which delivers a banknote.

Tapered portions 23 and 24 are formed at the side end portions of the conveyance guides 12 and 13 constituting the cutout portion 21, respectively. The taper portions 23 and 24 are formed obliquely with respect to the banknote conveyance direction, so that even when the side edge of the banknote to be conveyed is folded, it can be smoothly ridden on the other-side conveyance guide. . Similarly, taper portions 25 and 26 are formed at the side end portions of the transport guides 12 and 13 constituting the cutout portion 22 obliquely with respect to the banknote transport direction, so that even banknotes with side end folds can be smooth. You can get on the transport guide on the other side.
[0015]
The opposing portions of the apparatus-side conveyance guide 12 and the cassette-side conveyance guide 13 have the same shape, and are point-symmetric in the opposed state. For this reason, the banknote can be conveyed in both directions of the arrow C direction and the D direction.
[0016]
The central portions 15 and 16 and the projecting portions 17 and 18 are arranged so that the front end portion of the banknote that is about to enter between the apparatus-side transport guide 12 and the cassette-side transport guide 13 when the banknote is transported. , 13). For example, when a banknote is transferred from the cassette side transport guide 13 to the apparatus side transport guide 12, the banknote rides on the protruding portion 17 of the apparatus side transport guide 12 while the front end of the banknote is still on the cassette side transport guide 13. The protrusion 17 holds a bill. The leading edge of the banknote proceeds from the projecting portion 17 to the central portion 15 and eventually gets onto the apparatus-side transport guide 12 over time. Here, when a vertical crease is attached to the center of the bill, the fold hits the taper portion 15a of the center portion 15. However, since the center portion 15 is formed obliquely, the bill is smoothly transported on the apparatus side. Get on 12
