JPH05334515A - Discharging hopper part structure for paper money processor - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the double discharge and the continuous discharge of paper moneys by vertically disposing paper feeding rollers at the external side of the discharging side end part of a discharging hopper part and providing stoppers which can freely and vertically be moved so that an upper surface can vertically change a position from the upper part of the feeding roller. CONSTITUTION:The paper moneys 1 are sequentially pooled in the discharging hopper part 2 by the downward movement of a unit B. The unit B becomes a weight and the paper moneys are sent out to be pooled. Even if the feeding roller 3 rotates in a state where the paper moneys are not discharged from the discharging hopper part 2, the upper surface 6a of the stoppers 6 and 6 become higher than the upper part 3a of the feeding roller 3. Then, the stoppers 6 and 6 support pivotally the paper moneys 1 in the lower part so that they are not into contact with the feeding roller 3 to make them stand by. Thus, a solenoid 8 is activated and the stoppers 6 and 6 are moved downward when a feeding signal is present and one piece of paper money in the lower part can be fed until a primary detection sensor 33 detects the paper money 1. Then, the next paper money is lifted.
