Abstract

PURPOSE:To smoothly shift the stored paper sheets by installing a spreading mechanism for spreading guide opening wider by a member outside a cassette. CONSTITUTION:When a cassette 3 into which paper sheets are stored is installed into a paper sheet handling device 30, side guides 1 and 2 are shifted in the directions C and D against springs 8 and 9 by the plate cams 31 and 32 installed onto the paper handling device 30. Therefore, when the cassette 3 is installed onto the paper handling device 30, the opening between the side guides 1 and 2 can be set larger than the opening in the case when paper sheets are stored. Therefore, even if the paper sheets 20 are separated one by one from the cassette 3 by the paper sheet handling device 30, the contact resistance between the paper sheets 20 and the side guides 1 and 2 is not generated, and the pressure of a pressing plate 22 due to the spring is smoothly transmitted, and the top edge of the paper sheet can contact a shaft 23 by a prescribed pressure.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a cassette for storing paper sheets, and particularly to a cassette suitable for separating paper sheets one by one.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional cassettes, as described in JP-A No. 60-153340, the inner box for storing paper sheets was fixed and also served as a guide for banknotes. No consideration was given to reducing the contact resistance.

[The intermediary point that the invention attempts to solve]

In the above conventional technology, as shown in Fig. 4, the sides of the cassette are fixed to a predetermined size (slightly larger than the width of the paper sheets), so if the paper sheets are stored unevenly, two sheets will be separated. Since the end face of the cassette comes into contact with the side surface of the cassette and frictional resistance is generated, there is a problem in that the pressure of the press plate is not smoothly transmitted to the front surface of the paper sheet.

The purpose of the present invention is to spread the side guard 1' of the cassette when loading a cassette containing paper sheets into a device to reduce contact with the paper sheets, thereby allowing the stored paper sheets to be moved smoothly. The goal is to provide cassettes that can be used.

[Means for solving problems]

The above purpose is to: when loading a cassette containing banknotes into a paper sheet handling device 1, for example, a banknote payment device;
This is achieved by moving the paper sheet side guide inside the cassette using an enlarging mechanism operated by a member (plate cam) provided in the device, and making the interval between the guides slightly larger than the width when storing banknotes.

[Effect]

The side guides that store paper sheets inside the cassette are always trying to move toward the center of the cassette, but when the cassette is loaded into the device, the side guides are pushed outward from the cassette by a member installed in the device. Therefore, the contact resistance between the side surface of the paper sheet stored in the cassette and the side surface guide becomes small.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

The side guides 1 and 2 have their centers of rotation at the fulcrum pin 4 provided at the bottom of the outer case of the cassette 3, and are held by levers 5 and 6 that have long holes and pins provided in the side guides 1 and 2. The mechanism is engaged with 7-a, 7-b, 7-c, and 7d. Furthermore, the side guides 1, 2 are pulled by the springs 8, 9 in the direction of arrows A, B, ie in the direction of the center of the cassette, so that the lever 5 abuts a pin 10, 11 on the lever 6, as shown in FIG. At this time, side guide 1
.

As shown in FIG. 1, the paper sheets 2o stored in the cassette are pressed against a rotatable shaft 23 by a spring 2 and a push plate 22, and do not move within the cassette.

The cassette 3 containing paper sheets is loaded into the paper sheet handling device 30 as shown in FIG.
The side guides 1 and 2 are moved by the plate cams 31 and 32 provided at the arrows C and 32 against the springs 8 and 9 as shown in FIG.
Move in direction D. Therefore, the relationship between the distance between the side guides 1 and 2 at this time and the distance when storing paper sheets is L>.

As described above, according to this embodiment, when loading the cassette 3 into the sheet handling device 30, the interval between the side guides 1.2 can be made larger than the interval when storing sheets. Therefore, even if sheets 2o are separated one by one from the cassette 3 in the sheet handling device 30 as shown in FIG. 2, there is no contact resistance between one sheet 20 and the side guides 1 and 2, so the spring The effect that the pressure of the press plate 22 by the paper sheet 21 is transmitted smoothly and the leading edge of the paper sheet can always come into contact with the shaft 23 with a predetermined pressure is obtained.

Next, a second embodiment will be explained.

4) In the case of FIGS. 5 to 7, the cash cassette 101 is in the outer box 1.
02. K-X103. 1. A spring 105 that presses the case 103°2 and the banknote 104 with a constant pressure, a pressing plate 106, and the suppressing plate are slid.

It is composed of a sliding shaft 107 and a sliding bearing part 108.

Cases 103.1 and 103.21C have slide pin 1
09 are provided respectively. Also case 103.1,1
A spring 110 is installed between 03.2 and the outer box 102 (7).
is inserted. Furthermore, case 103.1, 103
．． 2, the slide pin 109 can move through the elongated hole 111 of the outer box 102.

Case 103.1゜103 before being attached to the payment device
．． 2 are each pushed in the direction of the 0 mark by the spring 110 and come to a halt at the point where the slide pin 09 and the elongated hole 111 come into contact. The retaining shell pushes the banknote 104 into the cases 103.1 and 103.2 while pressing the suppression plate 106 in this state.

The set banknotes 104 are pushed by the suppression plate 106 and move toward the front side of the cash cassette 101, and stop when they reach the front shaft 112. After that, the staff.

There is a rod 114 on the payment device side that closes the lid 113 and attaches the cash cassette 101 to the payment device. Bar 14
The outer diameter of case 103. Since the size is larger than the interval between case 103. i, IC)3.
2 move in the ◆ early opening direction. This creates a gap between the side of the case and the bill. When the mounting is completed, the bills 104 are sucked one by one by the suction ring 115 and conveyed from the cash cassette 101 to the payment device side (in the direction of the φ mark) according to the customer's request.

According to the above embodiment, case 103. 1 and 103.2 are pressed in a fixed direction by the spring 110, so there is no positional variation due to vibrations during suction or other vibrations, and a gap between them and the bill can always be ensured. Therefore, case 10
3.1, 103.2 The frictional resistance between the side wall and the banknote disappears,
The pressing force of the suppression plate is transmitted to the front of the banknote, allowing reliable adsorption and separation.

A third embodiment is shown in FIG.

This example is case 103. l, link 11 to 103.2
6 and by means of a rod 114 within the payment device, link 1
By pressing 16, the case 103.degree.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, since the frictional resistance between the paper sheet and the case (the sliding surface of the paper sheet) inside the cash cassette can be reduced, the pressing force of the paper sheet is stabilized, and the attached device can reliably adsorb and separate the sheet. It becomes possible. Along with this, there is an effect of improving the operational efficiency of automatic teller machines, especially when operating on holidays. Additionally, the time required to set banknotes can be reduced by using the latches.
