DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a banknote storage box in a register according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

The banknote storage box in a register according to the present invention has a metal case 1 having an openable / closable lid 11 and a storage section 20 on a bottom 12 thereof, and an elongated opening 14 at a top 13 of the case 1. Formed laterally. The feed roller 2 is arranged adjacent to and parallel to the opening 14 of the case 1. As shown in FIG. 3, one end 3a of the roller shaft 3 of the feed roller 2 is supported in the bearing hole 15a of the bracket 15, and the fixed roller shaft 17 fixed to the bracket 16 has a receiving hole 3c coaxially fitted therein. It is formed on the other end 3b. The rubber layer 18 is formed around the roller shaft 3 of the feed roller 2, but the clutch device 8 is attached to the other end 3 b of the roller shaft 3 where the rubber layer 18 is not formed. The clutch device 8 is a small hollow portion 5 of the drive pulley 5.
The drive pulley 5 is disposed inside the clutch device 8 and is disposed inside the clutch device 8.
Is attached. A guide shaft 4 is arranged adjacent to the feed roller 2 and substantially parallel to the opening 14, and both ends of the guide shaft 4 are rotatably supported by bearing holes (not shown) of the brackets 15 and 16. The clutch device 8 is provided between the roller shaft 3 and the drive pulley 5 and transmits only the rotation of the drive pulley 5 which is rotated in the positive direction when the cable 6 is pulled to the roller shaft 3.

A drive pulley 5 is attached to the fixed roller shaft 17.
End 7 of the spiral spring 7 disposed in the large hollow portion 5b of
A slit 17a for mounting a is formed. The other end 7b of the spiral spring 7 is locked by a slit 5c formed in the large hollow portion 5b of the drive pulley 5, and the spiral spring 7 imparts a rotational force to the drive pulley 5 rotated around the fixed roller shaft 17. . The spiral spring 7 causes the drive pulley 5, which has been rotated in the forward direction by pulling the cable 6, to reversely rotate to the initial position before rotation.

Although not shown, the clutch device 8 includes an outer ring fixed to the inner surface of the drive pulley 5, a roller arranged in a groove of the outer ring having an inclined cam surface, and a roller arranged in the groove of the outer ring. And a spring that presses in a direction away from the cam surface of the outer ring. The roller contacts the surface of the other end 3b of the roller shaft 3. When the outer ring together with the drive pulley 5 is rotated in one direction, the roller abuts against the cam surface against the elastic force of the spring, and the wedge action between the cam surface and the other end 3b of the roller shaft 3 causes the roller to move to the other end. By engaging the surface of 3b, the drive pulley 5 rotates integrally with the feed roller 2. When the outer ring is rotated in the other direction, the roller will move to the cam surface and the other end 3
The outer ring freely rotates away from b. Therefore, the rotational force of the drive pulley 5 that is rotated in the other direction is not transmitted to the feed roller 2. The clutch device 8 can be purchased as a known component.

A cable 6 is wound around an annular recess 5d of the drive pulley 5, and one end 6a of the cable 6 has a drive pulley 5 at one end 6a.
It is adhered to the horizontal hole 5e of the above with a brazing material. The other end 6 of the cable 6
b is led out of the case 1 from the small hole 21 formed in the case 1, and the ring 22 is connected.

The guide member 23 provided inside the opening 14 of the case 1 is a bill 24 inserted through the opening 14.
Is guided between the feed roller 2 and the guide shaft 4.
The lid 11 is pivotally attached to the case 1 by a pin 25 and can rotate from a closed position shown by a solid line in FIG. 4 to an open position shown by a chain line. An inclined portion 11 a is formed on the front portion of the lid 11 so as to match the shape of the register inside the tray. Lid 11
The case 1 is provided with a cylinder lock 26 that locks the. Rotating lever 2 of lever 26 of cylinder lock 26
6a is detachably locked to a hook portion 32 fixed to the lid 11. One end 27a of a leaf spring 27 is attached to the top 13 of the case 1, and the other end 27b of the leaf spring 27 contacts the rubber layer 18 of the feed roller 2. The leaf spring 27 blocks the rotation of the drive pulley 5 when the drive pulley 5 is rotated in the opposite direction by the rotational force of the spiral spring 7. As shown in FIG. 5, a locking member 30 is rotatably attached to the lid 11 with a screw 31, and the locking member 30 is normally locked to the edge 1a of the case 1 to prevent the lid 11 from opening. When the screw 31 is rotated, the engagement between the locking member 30 and the edge portion 1a is released, and the lid 11 can be opened.

In use, the banknote storage box in the register is placed in the tray of the register, and then the banknote 24 is inserted into the case 1 through the opening 14. After the bill 24 inserted through the opening 14 comes into contact with the feed roller 2, the ring 22 is pulled with a finger and the other end 6b of the cable 6 is manually pulled, so that the cable 6 wound around the drive pulley 5 gradually When released, the roller shaft 3 rotates via the drive pulley 5 and the clutch device 8 against the elastic force of the spiral spring 7. Therefore, the drive pulley 5 rotates and the rubber layer 18 of the feed roller 2 rotates.
The bill 24 sandwiched between the guide shaft 4 and the guide shaft 4 moves into the case 1. The banknote 24 abutting on the rubber layer 18 is reliably sent to the housing portion 20 of the case 1 without slipping on the feed roller 2. If the cable 6 is pulled enough,
The bill 24 is separated from the feed roller 2 and the guide shaft 4, and is completely placed in the storage portion 20 of the case 1. Energy is stored in the spiral spring 7 while the cable 6 is pulled. Then, when the hand is released from the cable 6, the spiral spring 7
The drive force causes the drive pulley 5 to reversely rotate and return to the initial position, and the cable 6 is wound around the drive pulley 5 again. When the drive pulley 5 rotates in the reverse direction, the operation of the clutch device 8 prevents the roller shaft 3 from rotating in the reverse direction, so that the banknotes 24 stored in the case 1 are not returned to the outside.

The embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, but can be modified. For example, a leaf spring protruding to the outside of the case can be attached to prevent the case 1 from moving inside the tray of the register so as to prevent the case 1 from moving within the tray. Handle 3 on top 13 of case 1
4 may be attached.
