Below 24B, there is a central guide body 29 that guides the back side of the central part of the banknote, and a guiding roller 25A.

End guide bodies 30 and 31 are provided below 25B, 26A, and 26B to guide the back surface of the longitudinal ends of the banknotes. These guide bodies 29° 30.31 are the blades when the banknote intake phase is zero, that is, when the tip of the blade 23A of the impeller 21 and the tip of the banknote B coincide with each other as indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. It is provided on the side of the blade 23B following the blade 23A along the shape of the blade 23B. The guide body 29 corrects, for example, a double fold formed in the center of the banknote B facing the impeller side toward the outside of the impeller 2. Further, the guide bodies 30 and 31 correct the eight folds formed at the ends of the banknotes B and the impeller 21 toward the outside, for example. The storage section 20 is provided with a stopper 32 for removing the banknotes B inserted between the blades 23 of the impeller 21 from the blades 23.

Therefore, circulating banknotes and soft banknotes that have been used for a long time can be reliably pushed between the blades 23 of the two impellers, thereby preventing collisions between the worn-out circulating banknotes and soft banknotes and subsequent banknotes. be able to.

Further, when a circulating banknote having two folds or eight folds forming a chevron shape on the impeller side is conveyed, the above-mentioned folds of this banknote are moved to the impeller 2 by the guide bodies 29, 30, 31. is corrected outwards. Therefore, even this type of banknote can be pushed to the vicinity of the final push between the blades 23 of the impeller 21. Moreover, the guide body 34 is the impeller 2
Since the tip of the bill B that enters between the blades 23 of 1 can be reliably guided between the blades 23, the tip of the bill B can be curled,
It is possible to prevent the impeller from flying out from the impeller 21 due to edge breakage.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the tip side of the guide body 33 is connected to the blade 23.
Although the guide body 33 is provided close to the rollers 24A and 24B, the guide body 33 may be placed close to the rollers 24A and 24B as shown in FIG.

With this configuration, it is possible to correct the crookedness of the leading edge of the banknote being carried out from the rollers toward the impeller 21 before the crookedness appears. 6 In other words, the guide body 33 is positioned close to the rollers 24A and 24B. Because it is placed in.

The leading edge of the banknote B sent out from the rollers 24A, 24B is guided by the guide body 33 before the effect of the fold appears. Therefore, with this configuration as well, banknotes can be reliably pushed into the impeller.

Further, the present invention can also be applied to a device in which the conveying roller and the guiding roller face inside the impeller. Furthermore, it goes without saying that belts may be hung or passed around these rollers.6Furthermore, paper sheets other than banknotes can also be used.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, even used banknotes and soft paper sheets can be reliably pushed into the impeller. As a result, jamming of paper sheets in the impeller can be reduced and its reliability can be improved.
