Abstract

Provided is a medium sensing apparatus. The medium sensing apparatus comprises a first frame having a hole in a side surface thereof, a second frame coupled to the first frame, a first sensor mounted on the first frame, a bracket connected to the first sensor, the bracket contacting the second frame, and a shaft disposed on the first sensor or the bracket to pass through the hole, the shaft being movable within the hole.

Claims (44)

1. A medium sensing apparatus comprising:

a first frame having a hole in a side surface thereof and a receiving part;

a second frame removably or rotatably coupled to the first frame;

a first sensor received in the receiving part of the first frame;

a bracket connected to the first sensor, the bracket contacting the second frame to be spaced between the first sensor and the second frame when the first frame is coupled to the second frame; and

a shaft disposed on the first sensor or the bracket to pass through the hole, the shaft being movable within the hole.

2. The medium sensing apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a second sensor fixed to the second frame.

3. The medium sensing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the hole is defined in an oblong shape so that the shaft is movable.

4. The medium sensing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the shaft is disposed on the first sensor and passes through the hole after passing through the bracket.

5. The medium sensing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the shaft is disposed on the first sensor,

the bracket is disposed outside the first frame, and

the shaft passes through the bracket after passing through the hole.

6. The medium sensing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the bracket is received in the receiving part.

7. The medium sensing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a protruding height of the bracket is greater than that of the first sensor in the receiving part of the first frame.

8. The medium sensing apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising an elastic member applying a force pushing the bracket toward the second frame.

9. The medium sensing apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the elastic member is disposed on the first frame.

10. The medium sensing apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the elastic member contacts the first sensor or the bracket.

11. A medium handling apparatus comprising:

a medium handling part through which a medium is deposited or withdrawn; and

a medium sensing apparatus that senses the deposited or withdrawn medium,

wherein the medium sensing apparatus comprises:

a first frame having a receiving part;

a first sensor movably received in the receiving part of the first frame;

a bracket mounted on the first frame, the bracket being movable together with the first sensor; and

a second frame on which a second sensor corresponding to the first sensor is mounted,

wherein one surface of the bracket contacts one surface of the second frame to be spaced between the first sensor and the second sensor when the first frame is coupled to the second frame.

12. The medium handling apparatus of claim 11 , wherein a transfer path of the medium is defined between the first frame and the second frame, and

the first sensor and the bracket move in a direction crossing the transfer path of the medium.

13. The medium handling apparatus of claim 11 , further comprising an elastic member pushing the bracket toward the second frame.

14. The medium handling apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the bracket is received in the receiving part.

15. The medium handling apparatus of claim 11 , wherein

the bracket is connected to the first sensor at an outside of the first frame by a shaft extended from the first sensor.

16. A financial device comprising:

an user information acquisition part that acquires information of a user;

an user interface that displays a menu and information for depositing or withdrawing, the user interface inputting or selecting a command or information for depositing or withdrawing; and

a medium sensing apparatus that senses a medium that is deposited or withdrawn,

wherein the medium sensing apparatus comprises:

a first frame having a receiving part;

a first sensor movably received in the receiving part of the first frame;

a bracket connected to the first sensor to move together with the first sensor; and

a second frame on which a second sensor corresponding to the first sensor is mounted, the second frame providing a medium transfer path together with the first frame,

wherein, when the first frame and the second frame are coupled to each other, the bracket contacts the second frame to space the first and second sensors from each other.

17. The financial device of claim 16 , further comprising an elastic member that supports the bracket or the first sensor to allow the bracket to contact the second frame.
