MEDIUM PROCESSING APPARATUS

摘要

A temporary holding section includes bridge portions that span along a shaft direction across respective groove portions of a drum at plural discrete locations around the drum circumferential direction. The temporary holding section can accordingly prevent an outer tape and an inner tape from slipping off into the groove portions, enabling damage to the tapes to be forestalled. The temporary holding section can also precisely determine the presence or absence of a banknote by shining a drum detection light toward the groove portions so as to pass through opening hole portions.

主权项

1. A medium processing apparatus comprising:
a drum that is formed in a substantially circular cylinder shape, and that rotates about a central shaft at the center of the circular cylinder; a tape that is wound onto a circumferential side face of the drum together with a paper sheet-shaped medium; a groove portion that is formed around the circumferential direction of the drum; a plurality of bridge portions that span between the two sides of the groove portion at discrete locations around the drum circumferential direction; a detection unit that emits detection light toward the groove portion and that receives the detection light that has passed through an opening hole portion that is a gap between the bridge portions in the groove portion; and a controller that determines whether or not the medium is wound onto the circumferential side face of the drum based on a light reception result for the detection light by the detection unit.
