Also, the lower outlet is opened only when withdrawing, and the upper surface is closed by the return tray when it is not used normally, so only the upper surface of this return tray corresponds to the end of the return transport line. You can easily configure a return opening that doubles as a saucer.

Further, since the withdrawal port and the temporary holding section can be used in common, the arrangement space inside the apparatus can be reduced, and one feeding mechanism can be shared to reduce the number of parts. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the size and cost of the bill depositing / dispensing machine. In addition, since the transport distance between the respective parts is shortened with the common use, the bending of the transport path and the switching of the transport direction are reduced, and the jam suppressing effect is enhanced.

Further, at the time of canceling the deposit, if the tray above the dispensing port is opened without carrying the deposit-holding banknotes held in the temporary holding section which also serves as the dispensing port until the deposit is confirmed, the dispensing is performed. It is possible to immediately take out the deposit-holding banknotes from the temporary holding section that also serves as an account, and to immediately take out the deposit cancellation banknotes from the temporary holding section that also serves as a dispensing port to shorten the take-out operation and the take-out processing time.

Further, the deposit port is arranged on the front side of the main body of the apparatus, and the temporary holding section for both the return port and the withdrawal port is arranged on the upper and lower parts on the rear side of the main body, and the front side is set as a handling portion dedicated to the insertion. However, since the back side is set as a handling part only for taking out, it is possible to clearly handle the bills to be operated for deposit and withdrawal, and in combination with improved visibility, the handling operability of bills is ensured. improves. Also, when re-inserting the banknotes returned to the return port, the re-banking operation can be easily performed by slightly moving the transfer banknotes from the back side return port to the deposit port formed on the front side and transferring them. You can

In the correspondence between the present invention and the configuration of the above-described embodiment, the temporary holding unit commonly usable with the dispensing port of the present invention corresponds to the dispensing port combined temporary holding unit 17 of the embodiment,
Similarly, the dispensing port shutter and the return tray correspond to the return port tray 22, but the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment.
