Abstract

PURPOSE:To sever the contact between a bill conveyor belt and a pipe of bills completely as well as to make the delivery of these bills performable in a stable manner, by projecting not only a pickup roller but also a bill guide to the bill side in time of delivering these bills. CONSTITUTION:Each bill 12 is pressed to a conveyor belt 1 by dint of a keep plate 6, and accumulated on the keep plate 6 one by one in a state that its one end comes into contact with a stopper 5. In ime of delivering these bills, first of all a holder plate 16 is rotated clockwise around a shaft 17, then a pickup roller 8 is moved to some extent, projecting it to the side of these bills 12. Simultaneously with this, a bill guide 15 is also moved to some extent, situating it in position between the belt 1 and the roller 8, thus contact between a surface of the belt 1 and each bill 12 is prevented from occurring. Next, with the shaft 17 rotated, the roller 8 is rotated via a cam 13 and rubber lining 14 whereby each bill 12 is fed into space between rollers 9 and 10. With this constitution, the contact between the belt 1 and these bills 12 is completely severable and thus the desired aim is attainable.
