FIG. 11 shows the largest number of banknotes in the design. A maximum thickness state is shown in which the apparent outer diameter of the drum 31 is maximized.

Further, in the temporary storage unit 20, two tapes of the upper tape 33U and the lower tape 33D are running. Hereinafter, the upper tape 33U and the lower tape 33D are collectively referred to as a tape 33. The upper reel 32 is configured in a bobbin shape, and is centered on a rotation shaft 32X that is parallel to the rotation shaft 31X of the drum 31 at the upper side of the drum 31, that is, at a position closer to the rear side on the opening portion 30C side and substantially at the center of the left and right. Rotate to. An upper tape 33U is wound around the upper reel 32. The upper tape 33U is made of a thin film-like resin, and the tape width in the left-right direction is sufficiently shorter than the long side of the banknote and has a sufficient length in the longitudinal direction.

An upper roller 34 formed in a relatively small cylindrical shape is provided on the front side of the drum 31 as viewed from the upper reel 32, that is, on the bill insertion / removal hole 30D side. The upper roller 34 is formed such that its axial length is longer than the tape width of the upper tape 33U, and freely rotates about a rotation shaft 34X parallel to the rotation shaft 31X of the drum 31. The upper tape 33U pulled out from the upper reel 32 is wound forward in such a manner as to cross the open portion 30C, and then folded back in the rear downward direction by being drawn through the upper roller 34. Further, the upper tape 33 U is pressed against the drum 31 by a pressing roller 46 provided on an upper conveyance guide 41 (described later), and the leading end thereof is fixed to the drum 31. The upper reel 32 is biased by a tension spring (not shown) in a winding direction V1, which is a direction in which the upper tape 33U is wound. As a result, the temporary storage unit 20 always gives the upper tape 33U a predetermined tension.

The lower reel 35 is configured in a bobbin shape similar to that of the upper reel 32, and rotates in parallel with the rotation shaft 31 X of the drum 31 below the upper reel 32, that is, at a position closer to the rear on the lower side of the drum 31. It is provided so that it can rotate around the shaft 35X. A lower tape 33D configured in the same manner as the upper tape 33U is wound around the lower reel 35. The lower reel 35 is urged by a tension spring (not shown) in a winding direction V3 that is a direction in which the lower tape 33D is wound. As a result, the temporary holding unit 20 always gives the lower tape 33D a predetermined tension. Incidentally, the winding direction V3 of the lower tape 33D in the lower reel 35 is opposite to the winding direction V1 of the upper tape 33U in the upper reel 32.

A lower roller 37 that rotates around a rotation shaft 37X that is parallel to the rotation shaft 31X of the drum 31 is provided in front of the lower reel 35. The lower roller 37 is formed in a cylindrical shape like the upper roller 34, and is provided at a location where the length in the left-right direction is longer than the tape width of the lower tape 33D and is substantially at the center on the left and right. . The lower tape 33 D pulled out from the lower reel 35 is passed in the forward direction, and then pulled upward through the lower roller 37, thereby moving upward. Further, the lower tape 33D is pressed against the rear drum 31 through a predetermined roller provided on the lower conveyance guide 42, which will be described later, and the front end thereof is fixed to the drum 31. Yes. Here, the tip of the lower tape 33 D is fixed to the peripheral side surface of the drum 31. Further, the upper tape 33U is fixed so that the tip of the upper tape 33U overlaps the outer peripheral side of the lower tape 33D on the outer peripheral surface of the drum 31.

With this configuration, when the drum 31 is rotated in the winding direction R1, the temporary storage unit 20 winds the lower tape 33D and the upper tape 33U so as to overlap each other on the peripheral side surface. At this time, the temporary storage unit 20 sandwiches the central portion in the left-right direction (width direction) orthogonal to the conveyance direction of the banknotes between the lower tape 33D and the upper tape 33U, and together with the lower tape 33D and the upper tape 33U A banknote is wound around the peripheral side surface of the drum 31.

[1-3-2. Configuration of moving parts]
The movable part 40 has a configuration in which an upper upper conveyance guide 41 and a lower lower conveyance guide 42 are connected by a connection part 43. A conveyance path 44 is formed between the upper conveyance guide 41 and the lower conveyance guide 42. The conveyance path 44 is a gap that is sufficiently wider than the thickness of the bill.

The lower conveyance guide 42 is formed in a drop shape or a wedge shape when viewed from the left and right side surfaces, and the rotation shaft 45 penetrates in the left and right direction below the front side thereof. On the other hand, a rotation hole (not shown) corresponding to the rotation shaft 45 is provided on the front side on the left and right inner side surfaces of the temporary storage section housing 30 (FIG. 3). When the lower conveyance guide 42 is attached so that the rotation shaft 45 is inserted into the rotation hole of the temporary storage unit housing 30, the lower conveyance guide 42 is opened with respect to the temporary storage unit housing 30 around the rotation shaft 45. It can be rotated in the WO or closing direction WC (FIG. 5).

On the other hand, the upper conveyance guide 41 as a whole is formed in a curved plate shape so as to cover the drum 31 from the upper side in the open portion 30 C formed on the upper side of the temporary storage unit housing 30. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the lower surface of the upper conveyance guide 41 is substantially flat at the central portion that covers the range from the front portion of the drum 31 to the rear portion of the lower conveyance guide 42. Yes. The upper conveyance guide 41 has a shape in which the lower surface of the upper conveyance guide 41 hangs downward as it advances backward so as to draw an arc having a larger radius of curvature than the outer peripheral surface of the drum 31 at the rear portion covering the rear side of the drum 31. It has become. Further, the lower surface of the upper conveyance guide 41 is forward so that it conforms to the shape of the upper surface of the lower conveyance guide 42 at the front portion facing the front portion of the lower conveyance guide 42, that is, forms a conveyance path 44. As it progresses, it has a shape that hangs downward.

By the way, in the vicinity of the upper end of the drum 31 in the upper conveyance guide 41, a shape that is a combination of a cylindrical shape and a truncated cone shape is formed at a position almost directly above the rotation shaft 31X that penetrates the drum 31, and in the left-right direction. A pressing roller 46 that is penetrated by a shaft along the shaft and rotates freely is provided so as to expose the lower side from the lower surface of the upper conveyance guide 41. The roller width with which the pressing roller 46 contacts the upper tape 33U is set to 1/3 to 1/4 of the tape width of the upper tape 33U.

Here, in the movable portion 40, a force in the closing direction WC is actually applied due to gravity, and the pressing roller 46 on the lower side of the upper conveyance guide 41 is moved to the upper tape 33U wound around the drum 31 at the contact position P1. Abut on the circumferential side. For this reason, the upper conveyance guide 41 applies a constant pressing force from the pressing roller 46 to a predetermined region in the center in the width direction of the upper tape 33U, thereby preventing the upper tape 33U from being twisted and preventing the banknotes from being collected on the peripheral side surface of the drum 31. Guide to press.

Here, the apparent outer diameter of the drum 31 increases as a large number of banknotes are sequentially wound. Correspondingly, the upper conveyance guide 41 is gradually lifted upward by the drum 31 in the movable portion 40, and the opening direction WO about the rotation shaft 45 provided in the bill insertion / extraction hole 30 D rather than the drum 31. It will turn to. As a result, the movable unit 40 can always bring the pressing roller 46 in the upper transport guide 41 into contact with the drum 31, and can make the transport direction and transport destination of the banknote follow the outer peripheral surface of the drum 31.

In the upper conveyance guide 41, on the upper side near the front, the rear end of the movable part tension mechanism 48, which is a tension spring fixed at the front inner surface of the temporary storage unit housing 30, has a tension spring in a natural state. It is attached in a stretched state. The movable part tension mechanism 48 urges the movable part 40 in the opening direction WO about the rotation shaft 45 by applying a restoring force to the natural state. Thereby, the movable part tension mechanism 48 prevents the pressing force applied from the pressing roller 46 to the drum 31 in the normal state of the apparatus from becoming too high, and keeps the pressing force within an appropriate range.

With this configuration, when the banknote is inserted into the transport path 44 from the front side, the movable unit 40 has the banknote sandwiched between the upper tape 33U and the lower tape 33D in the vicinity of the upper end of the peripheral side surface of the drum 31. It is made to contact with the peripheral side surface. In this state, the temporary storage unit 20 can wind the banknote sandwiched between the upper tape 33U and the lower tape 33D around the peripheral side surface of the drum 31 by rotating the drum 31 in the winding direction R1.

[1-3-3. Configuration of pressure fluctuation fluctuation canceller]
The pressing force fluctuation canceling unit 50 includes an assist mechanism 52 and a tension mechanism 54. A cylindrical post portion 56 protrudes toward the left side from a substantially central portion of the rotation shaft 45 and the pressing roller 46 in the front-rear direction of the left side plate of the upper conveyance guide 41.

The assist mechanism 52 extends in the front-rear direction on the left side of the movable portion 40, and is slightly behind the center in the front-rear direction and is fixed to the left inner surface of the temporary storage unit housing 30. It is comprised so that rotation is possible centering on. The assist mechanism 52 exposes the restricting contact portion 60, which is the front end thereof, to the front side of the temporary storage unit housing 30 from a hole (not shown) formed in the front inner surface of the temporary storage unit housing 30. I am letting. On the front side of the temporary storage section housing 30 in the depositing / dispensing machine housing 11, the rotation as a movement restricting member which is a surface extending substantially along the horizontal direction at substantially the same height as the assist mechanism rotating shaft 58. A movement restricting portion 64 is formed. The rear end portion of the assist mechanism 52 is formed in a plate shape substantially along the horizontal direction, and is formed with a lifting contact portion 62 that opposes the post portion 56 in the vertical direction.

A tension mechanism serving as an elastic member formed by a tension spring having a lower end fixed to the lower inner surface of the temporary storage section housing 30 between the restriction contact portion 60 and the assist mechanism rotation shaft 58 in the assist mechanism 52. The upper end of 54 is attached with the tension spring extended from the natural state. The tension mechanism 54 urges the assist mechanism 52 in a clockwise direction (hereinafter also referred to as a pressing force fluctuation canceling direction) about the assist mechanism rotation shaft 58 when a restoring force to a natural state acts. To do.

Thus, in the normal state of the apparatus, the restriction contact portion 60 contacts the rotation restriction portion 64, and the rotation of the assist mechanism 52 in the direction of canceling the pressing force fluctuation is restricted. In the normal state of the apparatus, the lifting contact portion 62 is not in contact with the post portion 56 and is in a retracted state.

In the normal state of the apparatus, as shown in FIG. 7, the combined weight W1 that is the weight of the movable portion 40 is the front weight WF1 that is the weight of the front side of the rotating shaft 45 and the weight of the rear side of the rotating shaft 45. This is the sum of the rear weight WR1.

At this time, a straight line passing through the contact position P1 and the shaft center P2 that is the center of the rotation shaft 31X is defined as an action line L1, and the rear roller weight WR1 causes the shaft from the pressing roller 46 along the action line L1 as shown in FIG. If the force acting toward the center P2 is the rear self-gravity FR1, and the force acting on the pressing roller 46 from the axial center P2 toward the outer periphery along the action line L1 by the movable part tension mechanism 48 is the tension force FT1, the action The tape pressing force FP1, which is a force actually acting from the pressing roller 46 toward the axis center P2 along the line L1, is a value obtained by subtracting the tension force FT1 from the rear self-gravity FR1. In the normal state of the apparatus, the tape pressing force FP1 is within a pressing force range where no tape twist occurs in the upper tape 33U and the lower tape 33D.

On the other hand, in the tilted state of the apparatus shown in FIG. 6, the restriction contact portion 60 is disengaged from the rotation restriction portion 64, and the assist mechanism 52 is rotated in the direction of canceling the pressing force fluctuation. For this reason, in the assist mechanism 52, the lifting contact portion 62 contacts the post portion 56 and biases the upper conveyance guide 41 in the opening direction WO.

In the apparatus inclination state, as shown in FIG. 8, the combined weight W2 is the sum of the front weight WF2 and the rear weight WR2, and the front weight WF2 is smaller than the front weight WF1 in the apparatus normal state, while the rear weight WR2 is The rear dead weight fluctuation amount WRV1 increases from the rear dead weight WR1 in the normal state of the apparatus.

At this time, a straight line passing through the contact position P1 and the shaft center P2 is defined as an action line L2, and the force acting from the pressing roller 46 toward the shaft center P2 along the action line L2 by the rear deadweight WR2 as shown in FIG. Is the rear self-gravity FR2 (which is increased by the rear self-weight variation WRV1 from the rear self-gravity FR1). The force to be applied is the tension force FT2 (having the same magnitude as the tension force FT1), and the force acting on the pressing roller 46 from the axial center P2 toward the outer periphery along the action line L2 by the pressing force fluctuation canceling unit 50. Is a pressing force correction force FO1, a tape pressing force FP2 that is actually a force acting from the pressing roller 46 toward the shaft center P2 along the line of action L2 is A value obtained by subtracting the tension force FT2 and the pressing force correction force FO1 gravitational FR2. The pressing force correction force FO1 is set to a magnitude that is substantially the same as the component along the action line L2 in the rear dead weight fluctuation amount WRV1.

For this reason, the pressing force fluctuation canceling unit 50 acts from the pressing roller 46 toward the shaft center P2 when the rear gravity gravity FR2 increased by the rear dead weight fluctuation amount WRV1 from the rear gravity gravity FR1 in the normal apparatus state in the apparatus inclination state. Even if the pressing roller 46 urges the upper tape 33U and the lower tape 33D in a more pressing direction, the rear weight variation WRV1 can be offset by the pressing force correction force FO1. As a result, the pressing force fluctuation canceling unit 50 keeps the tape pressing force FP2 within the pressing force range in which the upper tape 33U and the lower tape 33D do not generate the tape even in the apparatus tilt state, as in the normal apparatus state. Can do.

As described above, the temporary storage unit 20 opens the movable unit 40 in the opening direction so as to cancel the fluctuation of the center of gravity on the side of the pressing roller 46 with respect to the rotation shaft 45 of the movable unit 40 when the apparatus is shifted from the normal state to the inclined state. It was made to urge to WO.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 12, when the transition from the thinnest state to the thickest state is made, the post part 56 fluctuates by the post fluctuation amount D1. For this reason, when the transition is made from the thinnest state to the thickest state, the post portion 56 moves away from the lifting contact portion 62 in the normal state of the apparatus. Thereby, in the apparatus inclination state, the pressing force correction force FO1 is lower in the thickest state than in the thinnest state. Thus, as the banknotes wound around the drum 31 increase, the pressing force correction force FO1 decreases. In FIG. 12, the thinnest movable portion 40 is indicated by a broken line.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12, if the post portion 1056 is provided at a position closer to the rotation shaft 45 than the post portion 56, the post fluctuation of the post portion 1056 in the thickest state and the thinnest state. The amount D2 is smaller than the post fluctuation amount D1. For this reason, the post portion 1056 comes closer to the lifting contact portion facing the post portion 1056 than the post portion 56 in the thickest state in the normal state of the apparatus. Therefore, in the inclined state of the apparatus, when the post portion is provided at the position of the post portion 1056, the temporary holding portion reduces the pressing force correction force FO1 in the thickest state with respect to the thinnest state, compared to the case of the post portion 56. Can be suppressed.

However, the closer the post portion is to the rotation shaft 45, the closer the position where the lifting contact portion and the post portion abut is to the rotation shaft 45 that is the rotation fulcrum of the movable portion 40. Even if the post portion is lifted slightly, the pressing roller 46 is greatly changed, and the pressing force correction force FO1 is greatly displaced. That is, the tension ratio of the pressing force correction force FO1 is increased, and high accuracy is required for the accuracy of the pressing force correction force FO1.

Considering these, in the temporary storage section 20, the post section 56 is designed so that the change in the pressing force correction force FO1 with respect to the change in the apparent outer diameter of the drum 31 is allowed and the accuracy of the pressing force correction force FO1 can be ensured. The position of is set.

[1-4. effect]
In the above configuration, the temporary storage unit 20 rotates the assist mechanism 52 in the direction of canceling the pressing force fluctuation in the inclined state of the apparatus and causes the lifting contact part 62 to abut on the post part 56 to change the apparatus from the normal state to the inclined state of the apparatus. When the upper conveying guide 41 is rotated in the opening direction WO by an amount corresponding to a variation in which the pressing force of the pressing roller 46 increases when moving to, the pressing force correcting force acting on the pressing roller 46 from the shaft center P2 toward the outer periphery. FO1 was added.

For this reason, the temporary storage unit 20 can store the tape pressing force FP2 within the pressing force range in which the upper tape 33U and the lower tape 33D do not cause a tape twist, as in the normal state of the apparatus. As a result, the temporary storage unit 20 can cancel the fluctuation of the pressing force of the pressing roller 46 when the apparatus is shifted from the normal state of the apparatus to the inclined state of the apparatus by the pressing force fluctuation canceling unit 50. When winding and rewinding are performed, the tape 33 can be prevented from swaying and the behavior of the tape can be stabilized.

According to the above configuration, the temporary storage unit 20 is formed in a cylindrical shape so as to be rotatable, and the banknote as a paper sheet medium supplied from the outside via the banknote insertion / extraction hole 30D as the input / output unit is used as the tape 33. The drum 31 to be wrapped around the peripheral side and the banknote insertion / removal hole 30D near one end and the other end extend to the vicinity of the drum 31, guide the conveyance of the banknote from the banknote insertion / extraction hole 30D to the drum 31 and follow the outer diameter of the drum 31 Then, the movable portion 40 that rotates about the rotation shaft 45, the pressure roller 46 that is provided on the movable portion 40 and presses the tape 33 toward the drum 31, the drum 31, the tape 33, the movable portion 40, and the pressure roller. 46 is provided, and a case that shifts from a predetermined device normal state to a device tilt state that is inclined from the device normal state, and a state that shifts from the device normal state to the device tilt state It was provided a pressing force variation canceller 50 to cancel the variation of the pressing force of the definitive pressing roller 46. As a result, the temporary holding unit 20 can cancel the fluctuation of the pressing force of the pressing roller 46 when the apparatus is shifted from the normal apparatus state to the inclined apparatus state, and can maintain substantially the same pressing force as that in the normal apparatus state even in the inclined apparatus state. it can.

[2. Second Embodiment]
[2-1. Configuration of banknote deposit and withdrawal machine]
As shown in FIG.1 and FIG.2, the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine 110 of the automatic teller machine 101 by 2nd Embodiment is compared with the banknote depositing / withdrawing machine 10 of the automatic teller machine 1 by 1st Embodiment. Although the temporary holding unit 120 is different from the temporary holding unit 20, the rest is configured in the same manner.

[2-2. Temporary Hold Configuration]
As shown in FIG. 13, the temporary holding unit 120 according to the second embodiment has an arrangement in which various mechanisms are turned upside down as compared with the temporary holding unit 20 according to the first embodiment. The temporary holding unit housing 130 is provided with an opening 130C on the lower side.

The lower conveyance guide 141 is formed in a curved plate shape so as to cover the drum 131 from the lower side in the opening portion 130C. In the vicinity of the lower end of the drum 131 in the lower conveyance guide 141, a pressing roller 146 that is freely penetrated by the shaft along the left-right direction is positioned at a position almost directly below the rotation shaft 131X that penetrates the drum 131. It is provided so that the upper side is exposed from the upper surface of the side conveyance guide 141.

On the lower side near the front of the lower conveyance guide 141, the front end of the movable part tension mechanism 148 formed of a tension spring fixed to the left and right inner surfaces of the temporary holding unit housing 130 is a tension spring. Installed in a stretched state from the natural state. The movable portion tension mechanism 148 urges the movable portion 140 in the closing direction WC about the rotation shaft 145 when a restoring force to the natural state acts. As a result, the movable portion 140 causes the pressing roller 146 on the upper side of the lower conveyance guide 141 to abut on the peripheral side surface of the upper tape 133U wound around the drum 131 at the abutting position P11.

Here, the apparent outer diameter of the drum 131 increases as a large number of banknotes are wound around. In response to this, the lower conveyance guide 141 is gradually lowered downward by the drum 131 and the movable portion 140 rotates about the rotation shaft 145 in the opening direction WO. As a result, the movable unit 140 can always bring the pressing roller 146 in the lower conveyance guide 141 into contact with the drum 131, and can follow the conveyance direction and conveyance destination of the banknote to the outer peripheral surface of the drum 131.

With this configuration, when the banknote is inserted into the transport path 144 from the front side, the movable unit 140 is configured such that the banknote is sandwiched between the upper tape 133U and the lower tape 133D in the vicinity of the lower end of the peripheral side surface of the drum 131. It is made to contact with the peripheral side surface. In this state, the temporary storage unit 120 can wind the banknote sandwiched between the upper tape 133U and the lower tape 133D around the peripheral side surface of the drum 131 by rotating the drum 131 in the winding direction.

[2-3. Configuration of pressure fluctuation fluctuation canceller]
The pressing force fluctuation canceling unit 150 includes an assist mechanism 152 and a tension mechanism 154. A cylindrical post portion 156 protrudes from the substantially central portion of the rotation shaft 145 and the pressing roller 146 in the front-rear direction of the lower conveyance guide 141 toward the left side.

The assist mechanism 152 extends in the front-rear direction, and is rotatable about an assist mechanism rotation shaft 158 fixed to the inner side surface on the left side of the temporary storage unit housing 130 slightly behind the center in the front-rear direction. It is configured. The assist mechanism 152 exposes the restriction abutment portion 160, which is the front end thereof, to the front side of the temporary storage unit housing 130 from a hole (not shown) formed in the front inner surface of the temporary storage unit housing 130. I am letting. In the depositing / dispensing machine housing 111, on the front side of the temporary storage section housing 130, a rotation restricting portion 164 which is a surface extending substantially in the horizontal direction at a position higher than the assist mechanism rotating shaft 158 is formed. Has been. The rear end portion of the assist mechanism 152 is formed in a plate shape substantially along the horizontal direction, and is formed with a lifting contact portion 162 that faces the post portion 156 in the vertical direction.

Between the lifting contact portion 162 and the assist mechanism rotating shaft 158 in the assist mechanism 152, the rear end of the tension mechanism 154 formed of a tension spring whose front end is fixed to the front inner surface of the temporary storage portion housing 130 is provided. The tension spring is attached in a stretched state from the natural state. The tension mechanism 154 urges the assist mechanism 152 in the clockwise direction (hereinafter also referred to as a pressing force fluctuation canceling direction) about the assist mechanism rotation shaft 158 when a restoring force to the natural state acts. To do.

Thus, in the normal state of the apparatus, the restriction contact portion 160 contacts the rotation restriction portion 164, and the rotation of the assist mechanism 152 in the direction of canceling the pressing force fluctuation is restricted. In the normal state of the apparatus, the lifting contact portion 162 is not in contact with the post portion 156 and is in a retracted state.

In the normal state of the apparatus, as shown in FIG. 15, the combined weight W11 that is the weight of the movable portion 140 is the front weight WF11 that is the weight on the front side of the rotating shaft 145 and the weight on the rear side of the rotating shaft 145. This is the sum of the rear weight WR11.

At this time, a straight line passing through the contact position P11 and the shaft center P12 is defined as an action line L11, and acts on the pressure roller 146 from the shaft center P2 toward the outer periphery along the action line L11 by the rear dead weight WR11 as shown in FIG. If the force acting on the rear self-gravity FR11 and the force acting from the pressing roller 146 toward the axis center P2 along the action line L11 by the movable part tension mechanism 148 is the tension force FT11, the pressing roller 146 along the action line L1. The tape pressing force FP11, which is a force actually acting from the axis toward the shaft center P2, is a value obtained by subtracting the rear self-gravity FR11 from the tension force FT11. In the normal state of the apparatus, the tape pressing force FP11 is within a pressing force range in which no tape twist occurs in the upper tape 133U and the lower tape 133D.

On the other hand, in the tilted state of the apparatus shown in FIG. 14, the regulating contact portion 160 is disengaged from the rotation regulating portion 164, and the assist mechanism 152 is rotated in the direction of canceling the pressing force fluctuation. Therefore, in the assist mechanism 152, the lifting contact portion 162 contacts the post portion 156, and urges the lower conveyance guide 141 in the closing direction WC.

In the apparatus tilted state, as shown in FIG. 16, the combined weight W12 is the sum of the front weight WF12 and the rear weight WR12, and the front weight WF12 is smaller than the front weight WF11 in the apparatus normal state, while the rear weight WR12 is The rear dead weight variation amount WRV2 increases from the rear dead weight WR11 in the normal state of the apparatus.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 18, the force acting on the pressing roller 146 from the axial center P2 toward the outer periphery along the action line L12 by the rear dead weight WR12 is applied to the rear dead weight FR12 (the rear dead weight fluctuation amount more than the rear dead weight FR11). WRV2 is increased), and the force acting from the pressing roller 146 toward the axis center P2 along the action line L2 by the movable portion tension mechanism 148 is equal to the tension force FT12 (equivalent to the tension force FT11). And the force acting from the pressing roller 146 toward the axis center P2 along the action line L2 by the pressing force fluctuation canceling unit 150 is the pressing force correction force FO11, the axis from the pressing roller 146 to the axis along the action line L12. The tape pressing force FP12 that is the force actually acting toward the center P2 is equal to the tension force FT12 and the pressing force correction force. O11 a value obtained by subtracting the rear dead weight force FR12 from the value obtained by adding. The pressing force correction force FO11 is set to a magnitude that is substantially the same as the component along the action line L12 in the rear dead weight fluctuation amount WRV2.

For this reason, the pressing force fluctuation canceling unit 150 acts on the rear self-gravity FR12, which is increased by the rear self-weight variation WRV2 from the rear self-gravity fluctuation FR11 in the normal state of the apparatus in the apparatus tilt state, from the shaft center P2 toward the pressing roller 146, Even if the pressing roller 146 tries to move away from the upper tape 133U and the lower tape 133D, the rear dead weight variation WRV2 can be offset by the pressing force correction force FO11. As a result, the pressing force fluctuation canceling unit 150 can store the tape pressing force FP12 within the pressing force range in which the upper tape 133U and the lower tape 133D do not generate the tape even when the apparatus is inclined, as in the normal state of the apparatus. .

The upper end of the tension mechanism 254 is a tension spring fixed at the lower inner surface of the temporary storage section housing 30 between the restriction contact portion 60L and the assist mechanism rotating shaft 58L in the left assist mechanism 252L. However, the tension spring is attached in a state of being stretched from the natural state. The tension mechanism 254 urges the left assist mechanism 252L in the direction of canceling the pressing force fluctuation about the assist mechanism rotation shaft 58L when a restoring force to the natural state acts. Since this urging force is transmitted from the left assist mechanism 252L to the right assist mechanism 252R via the assist mechanism connecting portion 252C, the tension mechanism 254 urges the right assist mechanism 252R together with the left assist mechanism 252L in the direction of canceling the pressure fluctuation. To do.

Thus, in the normal state of the apparatus, the restriction contact portion 60L comes into contact with the rotation restriction portion 64, and the rotation of the left assist mechanism 252L and the right assist mechanism 252R in the pressing force fluctuation canceling direction is restricted. In the normal state of the apparatus, the lifting

contact portions

62L and 62R are not in contact with the

post portions

Therefore, in the left assist mechanism 252L and the right assist mechanism 252R, the lifting

contact portions

62L and 62R abut on the

post portions

56L and 56R, respectively, and urge the upper transport guide 41 in the opening direction WO (not shown).

As described above, the temporary storage unit 220 urges both the left end and the right end of the movable unit 40 in the opening direction WO. For this reason, the temporary holding unit 220 is stably movable from the left end to the right end as compared with the case where only the left end, which is one side of the movable unit 40, is biased in the opening direction WO like the temporary holding unit 20. 40 can be energized.
