Therefore, even if the banknotes inside the primary stackers 6 and 7 are abnormally bulky because the used banknotes are stored, the stored banknotes can be pulled out smoothly and surely without being caught in the middle. You will be able to take it out.

Thus, the banknote pressing member 32 is installed on the front side in the drawing direction of the drawer unit 22 in each primary stacker 6, 7, so that the banknotes stored in each of the primary stackers 6, 7 are in the front direction in the drawing direction. Although the side is low, the back side may be raised. However, it goes without saying that even if the back side is raised in this way, it does not hinder the drawing operation of the drawer unit 22.
Further, since the force of pressing the bill by the bill pressing member 32 at the time of pulling out the drawer unit 22 is due to the spring force of the spring 36, the bill from each primary stacker 6, 7 after the drawer unit 22 is pulled out. Can be taken out smoothly, and after taking out this bill,
The banknote pressing member 32 surely returns to the banknote pressing position, and when the drawer unit 22 is pushed in, the banknote pressing member 32
There is no inconvenience that 32 hits the wall surface of the main body of the device.

When the withdrawal unit 22 is pushed in after the bill is taken out, the operating bar 37 comes into contact with the stopper 38 and the operating bar 37
The lever 35 is rotated against the spring 36 to displace the lever 35. As a result, the rotary shaft 33 rotates and the banknote pressing member 32 attached thereto is attached to the banknote storage unit 2 in each primary stacker 6, 7.
It is displaced to the open position retracted from 7, 28, and each bill storage unit 2
It will surely return to the state where the banknotes are stored in 7 and 28.

In the above-described embodiment, the force for pressing the banknotes by the banknote pressing member 32 at the time of withdrawing the withdrawing unit 22 is based on the spring force of the spring 36, but the weight is attached to the banknote pressing member. You can also do it. Further, the displacement between the open position of the banknote pressing member 32 and the banknote pressing position may be configured to be performed directly by a driving means such as a solenoid or via a means similar to the operation bar 37 in the above-described embodiment. it can.

[Effects of the Invention] As described in detail above, the present invention enables the primary stacker to be pulled out from the main body of the apparatus, and the bills stored in the primary stacker on the front side in the pulling-out direction of the primary stacker. Since a banknote pressing member that holds the banknotes in place to prevent them from rising is stored, used banknotes with folds and wrinkles are stored, and the banknotes are stored in an abnormally bulky state. Even if the stored bills are not damaged, the primary stacker can be pulled out smoothly and reliably.
