Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A paper sheet handling apparatus includes: a first facing section and a second facing section which are arranged so as to face each other in a facing direction with an insertion space interposed therebetween; and a conveyance section that conveys a paper sheet. The first facing section includes a first shutter that openably closes a first opening portion, and is disposed so as to be movable, in the facing direction, to an insertion position at a time when the paper sheet is inserted and a conveyance position at a time when the paper sheet is conveyed. The first facing section and the conveyance section include first shutter opening/closing units which open the first opening portion by meshing with each other to open the first shutter when the first facing section moves from the insertion position to the conveyance position.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A paper sheet handling apparatus comprising: a first facing section and a second facing section which are arranged so as to face each other with an insertion space interposed therebetween, the insertion space having a paper sheet inserted from an insertion port; and a conveyance section that, in a state of protruding from a first opening portion of the first facing section toward the insertion space, conveys the paper sheet inserted into the insertion space, wherein the first facing section includes a first shutter that openably closes the first opening portion, the first facing section is disposed so as to be movable, in a facing direction where the first facing section and the second facing section face each other, to an insertion position at a time when the paper sheet is inserted and a conveyance position at a time when the paper sheet is conveyed by the conveyance section, and the first facing section and the conveyance section include first shutter opening/closing units which open the first opening portion by meshing with each other to open the first shutter when the first facing section moves from the insertion position to the conveyance position. 2 . The paper sheet handling apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a partition section that is disposed so as to be movable in the facing direction where the first facing section and the second facing section face each other, forms the insertion space with the first facing section, and forms, with the second facing section, a taking-out space in which the paper sheet is taken out from the insertion port, wherein the conveyance section conveys, in a state of protruding to the taking-out space from the first opening portion of the first facing section and a second opening portion of the partition section, the paper sheet left in the taking-out space, and the partition section includes a second shutter that openably closes the second opening portion. 3 . The paper sheet handling apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the partition section is disposed so as to be movable to a remaining banknote conveyance position at a time when the paper sheet left in the taking-out space is conveyed by the conveyance section, and the partition section includes a second shutter opening/closing unit that opens the second opening portion by opening the second shutter when the partition section is located at the remaining banknote conveyance position.
