DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 (a) (b) (c)
1 and (d) are external views of an example of an automatic depositing / dispensing machine. The automatic depositing / dispensing machine includes an operation unit including a bill insertion unit 1, a payout unit 2 for change and the like, a key operation unit 3, a slip output unit 4, and the like. Besides, a clip (scattering prevention tool) 5 is arranged. This clip 5
May be fixed to the supporting position shown in the figure, or may be detachably mounted on a supporting portion provided on the operating portion side. The clip 5 is formed by molding an elastic plate material such as resin or metal as shown in the figure, and sandwiching paper sheets 6 such as slips, bills and cards by the sandwiching portion 5a. When sandwiching the paper sheet 6 in the closed clip 5, the upper end 5b of the tip of the clip 5 may be opened with a finger. Clip 5
The lower side 5c is fixed to the operation unit side.

FIG. 2 shows a modification, which is characterized in that the upper end 5b of the clip 5 is bent to be shorter than the lower end 5c so that the paper sheet 6 can be held while being held by one hand. is there. As described above, the material of the clip 5 may be any material as long as it is an elastic material, but if at least a part of the lower surface of the clip 5 is made of a permanent magnet, it can be attached to and detached from the metal portion of the operating portion. Since it is possible, it is convenient because the slips sandwiched between the clips can be held and handled by the various clips.

As described above, according to this embodiment, in an automatic depositing / dispensing machine installed in a wind-blown environment such as a gasongrin stand, an amusement park, an outdoor retail store, etc. It is possible to temporarily hold the banknotes in custody in place without forming wrinkles or folds, while smoothly performing other work or the like. That is, in the conventional automatic depositing / dispensing machine, an employee who holds a slip or a deposit from a customer with one hand is mechanically operated, so the operation is difficult and, on a windy day, slips and bills There was a problem of skipping.
If the machine breaks down or is in an abnormal state during operation, the employee must store the slip that he had in his hand in his pocket or the like and use both hands to handle the abnormality.
When the slip is taken out from the pocket after the abnormal processing is completed, the slip has wrinkles and creases, which gives a bad impression, which is a problem in terms of customer service. However, according to the present invention, the slips, bills, etc. can be held in the automatic depositing / dispensing machine by using the clip, so that both hands of the employee are free and it is possible to concentrate on various work. Not only is it possible to eliminate problems such as wrinkles on slips and bills.

As described above, according to the present invention, when handling an automatic depositing / dispensing machine installed in a place that is affected by the wind, such as outdoors, slips and bills are blown and scattered by the wind. And the operability of the automatic depositing / dispensing machine can be improved.
