Abstract

The present invention provides a media processing device having improved ease of use. An automatic teller machine has: a housing having predetermined space at interior thereof, and at which opening portion is formed in at least one side surface; a unit housing that houses plural storage containers storing bank notes, and that can be accommodated within the housing, and that is provided so as to be able to be pulled out along a pull out direction to exterior of the housing via the opening portion; and a reject container housing case that is structured so as to be able to be attached to and removed from the unit housing at a front side of a unit housing front surface plate that is at a distal end side in the pull out direction of the unit housing, and that houses a reject container that stores bank notes.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A media processing device comprising:
a housing having a predetermined space at an interior thereof, and at which an opening portion is formed in at least one side surface;
a drawer that houses a first storage container that stores first media, and that can be accommodated within the housing, and that is provided so as to be able to be pulled out along a pull out direction to an exterior of the housing via the opening portion; and
a media storage section, housed outside the drawer, that is structured so as to be able to be attached to and removed from the outside of the drawer at a distal end side, in the pull out direction, of the drawer, and that stores second media.

2. The media processing device of claim 1 , wherein:
a hole is provided in a side surface, at the distal end side in the pull out direction, of the housing at a position that faces the media storage section, and
a catch-on portion that can hook on the hole is formed at the media storage section at a position that faces the hole, and the media storage section is attached to the drawer due to the catch-on portion hooking on the hole.

3. The media processing device of claim 2 , wherein the catch-on portion is formed in a shape that extends along the pull out direction from a side surface of the media storage section which side surface faces the drawer, and whose rear end is bent downward, and
the media storage section is removed from the drawer due to the media storage section being moved upward with respect to the drawer, and thereafter, being moved along the pull out direction.

4. The media processing device of claim 3 , wherein the media storage section is a storage container housing case at which an opening portion is formed in at least one side surface thereof, and that houses a second storage container, that stores the second media in an interior thereof, such that the second storage container can be installed and removed via the opening portion.

5. The media processing device of claim 3 , wherein the media storage section is a second storage container that stores the second media in an interior thereof.

6. The media processing device of claim 3 , wherein the media storage section stores the second media that are different than the first media stored at the first storage container.

7. The media processing device of claim 6 , wherein the media storage section stores the second media, the second media being reject bank notes that have been determined as being bank notes that are not to be transacted.

8. A media processing device comprising:
a housing having a predetermined space at an interior thereof, and at which an opening portion is formed in at least one side surface;
a drawer that houses a first storage container that stores first media, and that can be accommodated within the housing, and that is provided so as to be able to be pulled out along a pull out direction to an exterior of the housing via the opening portion; and
a media storage section that is structured so as to be able to be attached to and removed from the drawer at a distal end side, in the pull out direction, of the drawer, and that stores second media,
wherein a hole is provided in a side surface, at the distal end side in the pull out direction, of the housing at a position that faces the media storage section, and
a catch-on portion that can hook on the hole is formed at the media storage section at a position that faces the hole, and the media storage section is attached to the drawer due to the catch-on portion hooking on the hole.
