Abstract

A sheet storing device of the present disclosure includes: an attaching part configured to attach a storage bag for a sheet; a moving part configured to move the sheet toward inside of the storage bag; a first guide part configured to make contact with an inner surface of the storage bag; and a second guide part configured to make contact with an outer surface of the storage bag, and sandwich the storage bag together with the first guide part. The first guide part comprises a first flat surface configured to make contact with the sheet moved by the moving part. The second guide part comprises a second flat surface configured to make contact with the outer surface of the storage bag such that the sheet moved by the moving part makes contact with a part of the inner surface of the storage bag. The first guide part and the second guide part are disposed such that the first flat surface and the second flat surface are located on the same plane.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A sheet storing device comprising:
an attaching part configured to attach a storage bag for a sheet;
a moving part configured to move the sheet toward inside of the storage bag;
a first guide part configured to make contact with an inner surface of the storage bag; and
a second guide part configured to make contact with an outer surface of the storage bag, and sandwich the storage bag together with the first guide part, wherein
the first guide part comprises a first flat surface configured to make contact with the sheet moved by the moving part,
the second guide part comprises a second flat surface configured to make contact with the outer surface of the storage bag such that the sheet moved by the moving part makes contact with a part of the inner surface of the storage bag, and
the first guide part and the second guide part are disposed such that the first flat surface and the second flat surface are located on the same plane.

2. The sheet storing device according to claim 1 , wherein an end portion of the first guide part and an end portion of the second guide part sandwiching the storage bag are formed in uneven shapes that engage with each other.

3. The sheet storing device according to claim 2 , wherein the end portion of the first guide part and the end portion of the second guide part sandwiching the storage bag are formed in edgeless uneven shapes.

4. The sheet storing device according to claim 1 , wherein an end portion of the first guide part makes contact with the inner surface on a depth side than the attaching part in a storing direction at the storage bag to sandwich the storage bag together with the second guide part.

5. The sheet storing device according to claim 1 , further comprising a sealing part configured to close and seal an opening of the storage bag.

6. The sheet storing device according to claim 5 ,
wherein the sealing part is configured to close the opening by moving in a direction orthogonal to a direction in which the moving part moves the sheet; and
the first guide part is disposed at a position where no interference with a movement of the sealing part occurs.

7. The sheet storing device according to claim 5 , wherein the second guide part moves to a position where no interference with a movement of the sealing part occurs, along with the movement of the sealing part.

8. The sheet storing device according to claim 1 , further comprising a temporary retainer comprising a third flat surface configured to make contact with the sheet accumulated before moved to the storage bag, wherein
the temporary retainer is disposed such that the third flat surface is located on the same plane as the first flat surface.

9. The sheet storing device according to claim 8 ,
wherein the temporary retainer is in contact with the first guide part; and
wherein an end portion of the temporary retainer in contact with the first guide part and an end portion of the first guide part in contact with the temporary retainer are formed in uneven shapes that engage with each other.

10. The sheet storing device according to claim 9 , wherein the end portion of the temporary retainer in contact with the first guide part and the end portion of the first guide part in contact with the temporary retainer are formed in edgeless uneven shapes.

11. The sheet storing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a temporary retainer configured to accumulate the sheet before moved to the storage bag;
a restriction part configured to restrict a movement of the sheet between the temporary retainer and the storage bag; and
circuitry configured to control the moving part and the restriction part,
wherein the circuitry configured to cause to move the moving part in a direction in which the moving part moves the sheet based on a number of the sheets accumulated at the temporary retainer in a state where the restriction part restricts the movement of the sheet, and
move the moving part into the storage bag in a state where the restriction part does not restrict the movement of the sheet.

12. The sheet storing device according to claim 1 , wherein
the second guide part comprises a groove formed in the second flat surface along a direction in which the moving part moves the sheet; and
the moving part comprises a protrusion configured to move along the groove.

13. The sheet storing device according to claim 1 , wherein
the attaching part attaches the storage bag such that a storing direction is horizontal; and
the moving part moves the sheet such that the sheet is stored and arranged in a standing state in the storage bag.

14. A sheet storing device comprising:
an attaching part configured to attach a storage bag for a sheet;
a moving part configured to move the sheet toward inside of the storage bag;
a first guide part configured to make contact with an inner surface of the storage bag; and
a second guide part configured to make contact with an outer surface of the storage bag, and sandwich the storage bag together with the first guide part, wherein
the first guide part comprises a first flat surface making up a part of a guide surface configured to make contact with the sheet moved by the moving part,
the second guide part comprises a second flat surface configured to bring a part of the inner surface of the storage bag into contact with a part of the guide surface by making contact with the outer surface of the storage bag, and
the first guide part and the second guide part are disposed such that there is no step at the guide surface.

15. A sheet processing device comprising:
a reception part configured to receive a sheet; and
the sheet storing device according to claim 1 configured to store the sheet.
