Abstract

A direction switching and transferring device H, an error paper sheet processing device 970 , and a cashbox 950 are accommodated in a cashbox unit 700 , and the error paper sheet processing device includes a paper sheet inlet 971 that receives error paper sheets, an error paper sheet transport route 972 that is provided along a place away from the direction switching and transferring device and that transports the error paper sheets input from the paper sheet inlet to the cashbox 950 , and a recognition unit 974 that judges the authenticity and the denominations of the error paper sheets received from the paper sheet inlet and counts the paper sheets.

Claims (6)

1. A cashbox unit comprising:

a direction switching and transferring device of paper sheets including a stacker unit that includes clamping means clamping paper sheets on a transport body transported along a transport route and stopped at a paper sheet extraction position and that reciprocally rotationally moves between an upper limit position and a lower limit position where the stacker unit has rotationally moved downward by a predetermined angle from the upper limit position, an operating mechanism that reciprocally rotationally moves the stacker unit in a forward rotation direction toward the upper limit position and a reverse rotation direction toward the lower limit position, a clamping-means actuating mechanism that causes the clamping means to perform an opening/closing operation by being actuated in conjunction with an operation of the operating mechanism, and a drive mechanism that drives the operating mechanism, in which the clamping means clamps the paper sheets on the transport body when the stacker unit is at the upper limit position and the paper sheets clamped by the clamping means are released to be transferred on a takeout member located at a position corresponding to the lower limit position when the stacker unit is at the lower limit position;

a direction-switched paper sheet transport route for transporting paper sheets having a direction switched and taken out by the takeout member;

a cashbox that accommodates therein paper sheets transported through the direction-switched paper sheet transport route; and

an error paper sheet processing device that receives one by one error paper sheets taken out from the transport route and that transports the error paper sheets to the cashbox, wherein

the error paper sheet processing device includes a paper sheet inlet that receives the error paper sheets input one by one, an error paper sheet transport route that is provided along a place away from the direction switching and transferring device of paper sheets and that transports the error paper sheets input from the paper sheet inlet to the cashbox, and a recognition unit that judges authenticity and denominations of the error paper sheets received from the paper sheet inlet.
