Abstract

A paper sheet processing device includes: an ejection roller for ejecting a paper sheet; and a bill press for pressing the paper sheet against the ejection roller, wherein the bill press has: a bill press main body that moves in a direction to approach and separate from the ejection roller; a pressing portion that is provided on the ejection roller side of the bill press main body and moves in a direction to approach and separate from the bill press main body; and an elastic portion provided between the pressing portion and the bill press main body.

Claims (19)

1. A paper sheet processing device comprising:

an ejection roller for ejecting a paper sheet; and

a bill press for pressing the paper sheet against the ejection roller,

wherein the bill press comprises:

a bill press main body that moves in a direction to approach and separate from the ejection roller;

a pressing portion that is provided on an ejection roller side of the bill press main body and moves in a direction to approach and separate from the bill press main body; and

an elastic portion for energizing the pressing portion in a direction to separate from the bill press main body, and

wherein the bill press main body includes:

a surface portion located on the ejection roller side; and

a concave portion which is formed on the surface portion, and recessed from the surface portion and into which the ejection roller enters.

2. The paper sheet processing device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the bill press main body comprises a step portion recessed on the opposite side of the ejection roller from the surface portion; and

the pressing portion and the elastic portion are arranged in the step portion.

3. The paper sheet processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the pressing portion is flush with the surface portion by an energizing force of the elastic portion.

4. The paper sheet processing device according to claim 2 , wherein a pair of the pressing portions separated from each other are provided in a direction in which a long side of the paper sheet extends, and the surface portion is arranged between the pair of the pressing portions.

5. The paper sheet processing device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the elastic portion is a plate-like elastic member orthogonal to a moving direction of the bill press main body; and

the pressing portion has a plate shape which is orthogonal to the moving direction of the bill press main body and is arranged on the ejection roller side of the elastic portion.

6. The paper sheet processing device according to claim 5 , wherein the elastic portion is partially provided in the pressing portion.
