Bill handling machine

摘要

A bill handling machine includes a rotatable drum provided with a bill transport arrangement in which a bill transporting passage is formed therein and movable between a transport position where it can hold bills in the bill transporting passage so as to be able to transport them and a release position where it releases the holding of the bills and a shutter which can open and close one end portion of the bill transporting passage, and a vibrating mechanism for applying slight vibration to the drum, while the one end portion of the bill transporting passage is closed by the shutter, the bill transporting passage is oriented vertically so that the shutter is directed downwardly as a result of the rotation of the drum and the bill transport arrangement has been moved to the release position. According to the thus constituted bill handling machine, it is possible to reliably align one end portions of bills whose sizes differ greatly and efficiently handle bills. <IMAGE>
