Therefore, when the gear 42 a is rotated by a driving means (not shown) to rotate the bill pool portion 21, the winding belts 25 a and 25 b are rotated via the gear 50 and the shaft 28. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

  Next, the operation of the second embodiment will be described. Here, operation | movement of the banknote depositing / withdrawing apparatus from throwing in a banknote to paying out the inserted banknote is demonstrated. When a customer approaches an automatic transaction apparatus for a deposit transaction, an approach is detected by a proximity sensor (not shown), and a transaction type selection screen is displayed on the customer operation unit 12 shown in FIG. Here, when the customer selects the deposit transaction, the bill deposit / withdrawal shutter 6 is opened.

  Next, the customer throws the deposited banknote into the banknote pool portion 21 of the deposit / withdrawal port 13. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, it is assumed that coins 9 as foreign matters are mixed between bundles of inserted bills P. When insertion of the banknote P is detected by a sensor (not shown) in the banknote pool unit 21, the banknote deposit / withdrawal port shutter 6 starts to close from the open position to the closed position. When the closing operation of the bill deposit / withdrawal shutter 6 is completed, a driving means (not shown) is driven to rotate the gears 42a and 42b in the direction of the arrow through the gears 44a and 44b shown in FIG. FIG. 9 shows a state where the banknote deposit / withdrawal port shutter 6 is closed.

  When the gears 42a and 42b rotate in the direction of the arrow, as described in the first embodiment, the locking projections 43a and 43b are released from the locking portions 41a and 41b protruding to the side of the bill press arm links 36a and 36b. As a result, the bill press arm links 36a and 36b are pulled by the springs 40a and 40b, and rotate in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. As the bill press arm links 36a and 36b rotate, the bill press 24 rotates counterclockwise as shown in FIG. The slide fulcrum 37 at the lower end of the bill press 24 moves to the right side in the figure, and the bill press 33 moves away from the lower part of the bill P. FIG. 10 is an operation explanatory diagram showing the operation of the second embodiment.

  In FIG. 8, the gear 50 rotates as the gear 42a rotates. As the gear 50 rotates, the winding belts 25a and 25b rotate through the shaft 28. The direction of rotation is the opposite direction to the case of the first embodiment (the direction of arrow B shown in FIGS. 9 and 10). The rotation of the rolling belts 25a and 25b causes the lower end portion of the inserted banknote P to be rolled, but the rolling belts 25a and 25b roll the banknote P when the bill press 24 is pressed from the start of the pressing operation on the upper portion of the banknote P. Until the time.

  At the time when the bill press 24 starts to rotate, as shown in FIG. 11, the lower end portion of the banknote P is not spread. After the bill press 24 rotates, as shown in FIG. 12, the lower end of the banknote P widens widely (from L3 to L4 (L3 <L4)), and the foreign material 9 sandwiched between the banknotes P falls. It becomes easy. 10 and 11 are operation explanatory views showing the operation of the second embodiment.

  The rotation direction of the winding belts 25a and 25b can be arbitrarily set by changing the number of gears. It is also possible to adjust the amount of rotation of the winding belts 25a and 25b by changing the gear ratio of the gear 50 to the gear 42a. The lower end portion of the inserted banknote P is picked up by rotating the winding belts 25a and 25b. At this time, since the lower end portion of the bill P is not pressed by the bill press 24, when the foreign matter 9 is mixed between the bills P, the foreign matter 9 easily falls downward. The foreign matter 9 falls downward from between the first comb teeth 54 and the second comb teeth 55 provided on the bottom 23 b and is accommodated in the foreign matter collection box 5.

  Further, the entire bill pool wall 23 is rotated around the fulcrum 8 by the rotation of the gears 42a and 42b, and the bill P is turned substantially laterally in a state where the bill press A32 presses the bill P, and is made separable.
