(Embodiments of the Invention)

The present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are embodiments of the present invention.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view schematically showing a main part of one embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 2 is a front view of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a plan view of Fig.

Fig. 4 shows a main part of Fig. 1, Fig. 4 (a) is a side view, and Fig. 4 (b) is a bottom view.

Figs. 5 and 6 are four schematic diagrams (a), (b), (c), and (d) for explaining the operation of Fig.

The large rectangular plate shown in the lower part of Fig. 1 stacks a sheet body such as banknotes as the elevator 11 and transports the stacked sheet body up.

For example, such an elevator 11 is equipped with a weight-sensitive spring (not shown) or the like so as to rise when the weight is light. The two standing guide frames 12 and 13 surrounding each end of the elevator 11 are, for example, a plate formed by being bent in a U-shape.

An outlet 14 for discharging a sheet body (not shown) is formed on the upper portion of the guide frame 12 on the left side in Fig. 1 and a guide piece 15 is preferably provided on the lower edge of the outlet 14, .

Two pairs of rubber rollers 16 and 17 are disposed near the upper outside of the outlet 14 to sandwich and pull the sheet body therebetween. In addition, in order to mount the rollers 16 and 17, a box-shaped case (not shown) for covering the entire apparatus is used. The box shape slightly larger at the center of Fig. 1 is the sheet sucking device 21.

As shown in Figs. 2 and 4, for this suction device 21, the lower portion thereof is a large opening portion 22, and the upper portion thereof is a small opening portion 23.

The suction device 21 is fixed to the guide frame 13 by welding or the like from the left side in the figure and is interposed by a pair of projecting arms 24 and 25. [

2, the suction device 21 is formed in a slightly elevated and inclined posture with respect to the elevator 11. A small fan unit (26) is arranged at the center of the suction unit (21). Furthermore, the fan unit 26 is schematically illustrated in the figure.

When the fan unit 26 is driven, air flows from the large opening 22 toward the small opening 23, as shown by the arrows in Fig. Therefore, instead of the fan unit 26, a tube (not shown) may be inserted into the small opening 23 to airtightly adhere to attract the air.

A small rubber tire 27 is rotatably disposed in the large opening 22 of the suction device 21 near the outlet 14. Also, the pulley 28 is fixed to the outer end of the rotating shaft of the tire 27.

The tire 27 is adapted to feed a sheet body (not shown) that is attracted by the opening 22 of the suction device 21 in the direction of the outlet 14 by a frictional force. 29 is a motor of the suction device 21, and the motor 29 fixes the pulley 30 on the shaft. 31 is a rubber belt and is tightly wound on the twisted pulleys 28,30.

(Example)

First, as shown in Fig. 5A, a plurality of sheet bodies S are stacked on the elevator 11 as a layer. The gap G between the first sheet body S1 on the sheet body S and the lowermost edge in the opening portion 22 is preferably about 5 mm when the sheet body S is a banknote. However, the size of the cap G varies depending on the size, thickness, weight, etc. of the sheet body S including the card.

Therefore, it is not limited to the above numerical values. Next, when the suction device 26 is driven in Fig. 5 (b), the air flows upward and a negative pressure is generated in the opening 22. As a result, the uppermost sheet S1 is adsorbed to the opening 22 as shown in Fig.

In this case, the lower surface of the suction device 21, that is, the edge surface on the opening 22 forms an angle K (see Fig. 5 (a)) with respect to the horizontal plane. Therefore, the sheet body S1 is bent at the 1/3 portion on the right side of the sheet body S1 as shown in Fig. 5 (b).

As a result, in the case of the sheet body S which is a new currency note, or in the case of the sheet body S which is a so-called new ticket, this new currency note is completely separated from the new currency note below.

Therefore, the two sheets are not fed. In the case of a card that can not be bent, it is natural that the angle K is unnecessary.

Further, in the bottom surface of the box-shaped suction device 21, that is, the left and right opening edges 32 and 33 in FIG. 2 are curved slightly protruding downward as shown in FIG. 4 (a).

In the case of the banknote in which the sheet body S is rounded and the bent state remains, when the banknote is sucked, the banknote is bent in the width direction by the curved portion of the opening edges 32 and 33. [ As a result, the state of bending in the longitudinal direction is eliminated and the banknote becomes flat. It is a matter of course that the opening edges 32 and 33 on both sides are curved and pressed in an upper direction opposite to that of Fig. 4 (a).

Also, in the case of the sheet body S having no bent state, the curved portions of the opposed or convex opening edges 32 and 33 are of course unnecessary.

5 (b), when the motor 29 is operated, the tire 27 rotates through the pulley 30, the belt 31, and the pulley 28. In this case,

As a result, as shown in Fig. 6 (c), the sheet body S1 sucked in the opening portion 22 is fed out in the direction of the outlet 14 by the frictional force of the tire 27. [ When the left quarter portion of the sheet body S1 is fed out, the leading end of the sheet body S1 is sandwiched between the pair of rollers 16,17. As soon as it is fitted, it is quickly pulled by the rollers 16 and 17 which rotate faster than the tires 27 and is discharged outwardly as shown in Fig. 6 (d).

The front end of the first sheet body S1 lies between the pair of rollers 16 and 17 and the front end of the sheet body S1 moves to the left side of the sheet body S1 And the 2/3 portion is sent out from the suction device 21. At this time, though the illustration is omitted, when the right side of the opening 22 is released, the center of the next second sheet S2 is adsorbed and raised. 6 (d), the next sheet S2 is sucked into the opening 22 of the suction device 21. Then, as shown in Fig.

Furthermore, in the above description of the operation in Figs. 5 and 6, the suction device 21 is continuously driven and the tire 27 is rotated as required. However, the number of the sheet bodies S to be continuously rotated and discharged from the tire 27 may also be calculated by another apparatus (not shown). In this case, the dispensing of the sheet body S can be reliably and quickly dispensed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the tire is disposed in the opening portion 22 of the suction device. Needless to say, the opening 22 can be made smaller and the tire 27 can be arranged outside the opening 22, depending on the size and hardness of the sheet body S. [

In this case, the tire 27 comes into contact with a part of the sheet body S or a part of the card body outside the suction device 21, and the sheet or the card body is sent out by the frictional force. The dispensing apparatus in which the elevator 11 is disposed below has been described above. However, it is needless to say that the elevator 11 can be arranged on the top, the vertical, or the slope on the basis of the size, the thickness, etc. of the seat or the card body. In other words, it is needless to say that a similar operation can be obtained even if the delivery apparatus exemplified by the size and thickness of the sheet or the card body or the like is mounted on the vertical state or the inclined state or the like.

As described above, according to the present invention, a large effect of being able to provide a sheet dispenser of a simple structure with a simple combination of structures is obtained. In other words, according to the present invention, a sheet dispenser having a simple structure and a small structure can be obtained by combining a dispensing means such as a tire and a suction means such as a pan. Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a great advantage that the sheets can be reliably and quickly fed one by one.
