Bill handling apparatus

摘要

A bill handling apparatus 1 is provided which comprises validator means 2 provided with sensor means 22 for validating a bill inserted into the apparatus 1; stacker means 3 for storing a bill in response to an output from the validator means 2 when the bill is considered genuine by the validator means 2; a frame 4 for supporting the stacker means 3; coupling means 10 for detachably supporting the validator means 2 to align a passageway 21 of the validator means 2 with a passageway 31 of the stacker means 3, the coupling means 10 being provided between the validator means 2 and frame 4; and connector means 60 for electrically connecting the sensor means 22 in the validator means 2 with validator control means 8 in the frame 4. When the validator means 2 is connected to the stacker means 3 by the coupling means 10 in the condition that the passageways of the validator means 2 and stacker means 3 are aligned with each other, the sensor means 22 is automatically electrically connected with the validator control means 8 positioned in the frame 4 through the connector means 60, and the conveyer means 20 in the validator means 2 is automatically drivingly connected with drive means 6 in the frame 4 through the power transmission means.
