Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A paper sheet handling apparatus includes: a drawable drawer module; a cross conveyor configured to convey, between the cross conveyor and the drawer module, a paper sheet in a cross direction crossing a pull-out direction of the drawer module; and a biasing guide disposed at an end portion of the cross conveyor on a side of the drawer module and configured to bias the drawer module in the cross direction.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1 . A paper sheet handling apparatus comprising: a drawable drawer module; a cross conveyor configured to convey, between the cross conveyor and the drawer module, a paper sheet in a cross direction crossing a pull-out direction of the drawer module; and a biasing guide disposed at an end portion of the cross conveyor on a side of the drawer module and configured to bias the drawer module in the cross direction, wherein the drawer module includes an openable and closable opening/closing conveyor, and the biasing guide biases the opening/closing conveyor to be in a locked state. 2 . The paper sheet handling apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the biasing guide has a curved tip so as to allow a central portion of the biasing guide in the pull-out direction to be located closest to the side of the drawer module. 3 . The paper sheet handling apparatus comprising: a drawable drawer module: a cross conveyor configured to convey, between the cross conveyor and the drawer module, a paper sheet in a cross direction crossing a pull-out direction of the drawer module; and a biasing guide disposed at an end portion of the cross conveyor on a side of the drawer module and configured to bias the drawer module in the cross direction, wherein the cross conveyor includes a comb tooth guide configured to be movable between a guiding state extending toward the side of the drawer module and a retracted state retracted from the guiding state, and the paper sheet handling apparatus further comprises a retracting mechanism configured to move the comb tooth guide to the retracted state when the biasing guide is pressed to a side opposite to the drawer module.
