PAPER SHEET HANDLING APPARATUS AND PAPER SHEET TRANSACTING APPARATUS

摘要

An apparatus for handling paper sheets such as bank notes, and a paper sheet transacting apparatus, which comprise a discharge unit adapted to carry out feeding and discharging of paper sheets and to be turned between a paper sheet feeding position and a paper sheet ejection position, a partitioning means adapted to project into and retract from the discharge unit and distinguish when it projects the paper sheets fed into the discharge unit from those to be returned, a storage unit for storing paper sheets therein, a temporary storage unit for temporarily storing paper sheets which should not be stored in the storage unit or the paper sheets which should not be discharged, and a plurality of cassettes adapted to carry out the supplying and recovering of paper sheets in the storage unit and the supplying and recovering of paper sheets in the feed and discharge unit. The paper sheet handling apparatus and a paper sheet transacting apparatus rarely fail, and can be operated for a long period of time without being stopped even when a trouble occurs.
