Construction of a counting section in a paper counting machine

摘要

There is provided a paper counting machine wherein a stack of papers charged on a holder is sucked and deflected one sheet at a time by a number of suction shafts to be counted, characterized in that a counting section including the holder and the suction shafts is disposed within a recess formed on the top of the body of the machine, noise-proof covers are openably mounted on the body above the recess to seal or release the counting section, and the upper edges of the body in front of the recess is constructed to be in substantially a same horizontal plane as the upper surface of the supporting plate of the holder. Therefore, when the larger size papers are charged on the supporting plate with the covers opened, the portions of the lower edges of the larger size papers are supported on the upper edges of the body. In the case of the small size papers, the papers can be counted with the covers closed.
