Description of the Related Art With the increasing demand for various types of deposit and withdrawal processing devices, there is a demand for devices with high processing capacity that can perform deposit and withdrawal processing operations in a short time and quickly perform deposit and withdrawal processing operations.

However, when two staff members share a single device in counter operations at a bank, etc., one staff member handles the deposit processing (
As shown in FIG. 3, the banknotes sent through the transport path 31 within the device must be stored in (or fed out) the cartridge 32 while the banknotes are being fed out from the cartridge 32. However, the other staff member could not handle withdrawals (or deposits), resulting in a wait time for the vice-minister, which caused congestion during busy hours.

(c) Purpose of the Invention In view of the above points, the present invention provides a banknote cartridge that can perform banknote storing and dispensing operations in parallel, thereby allowing two staff members to operate deposit processing and withdrawal processing. The purpose is to develop a banknote total processing device that can simultaneously handle the following operations.

(D) Structure of the Invention This invention forms two upper and lower banknote storage sections inside a cartridge main body, and each store section is provided with a banknote accumulation/feeding mechanism, and a deposit path and a withdrawal path of the cartridge main body are provided. The present invention is characterized in that the banknote depositing path is a banknote cartridge of a banknote depositing and dispensing processing device equipped with a board for selecting a store unit to which money is to be deposited.

(E) Function of the Invention According to the present invention, when banknotes are fed into one of the upper and lower storage sections in the cartridge main body and stored in one of the upper and lower storage sections selected by the plate from the deposit path, the banknotes are not used. The banknotes in the other store section that are not stored can be dispensed from the dispensing path.

(f) Effects of the Invention Therefore, since banknotes can be stored and dispensed in parallel to one banknote cartridge, in a banknote deposit/withdrawal processing device that employs such a banknote cartridge, one staff member performs the deposit processing operation, while the other staff performs the deposit processing operation. Withdrawal processing operations can be performed at the same time, and even during busy periods, it has high processing capacity and can be dealt with quickly, making it possible to perform deposit and withdrawal processing with a high utilization rate and improve customer service. Congestion can be prevented.

(g) Examples of the invention An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a banknote cartridge, and the cartridge body 1
Two banknote storage sections 2 and 3 are formed above and below inside the bank.

The upper and lower store sections 2.3 each have a banknote accumulation/feeding mechanism 4.
．． 5, the mechanism includes an accumulation roller 6 and a presser roller 7.
is mounted on a shaft, and banknotes conveyed through a deposit path 9 (described later) by the rotation of these rollers 6, 7, and 8 are transferred to an inlet 10.
11 to the store section 2.3.

Further, in the upper center of each store section 2.3, a feed roller 13 which is linked to an accumulation roller 6 by a belt 12 is mounted on a shaft, and on the right side in the drawing, a feed-out row 514, a gate roller 15 in contact with the feed roller 514, and a presser foot. Rollers 16 are mounted on a shaft, and the rotation of these rollers 13, 14, and 16 transports banknotes from a payout opening 17.18 to a payout path 19, which will be described later.

The upper store section 2 is provided with a gate lever 20 that opens and closes the payout port 17 and controls the running guide of banknotes A1 to be carried in and out.

In the upper store section 2, banknotes A1 are stacked on the lifting plate 21 which is in a downwardly falling state, and at the time of feeding, the lifting plate 21 is raised as shown by the chain line by a lifting mechanism (not shown), and the banknotes A1 stacked thereon are fed. The banknote A1 is brought into contact with the roller 13, and the banknote A1 is fed out by the rotation of the feed roller 13, payout roller 14, etc. as described above.

In the lower store section 3, banknotes A are placed on the elevating table 22 in the lowering state.
