A sheet storage device includes a reel around which a tape is wound, a drum onto which a sheet is wound together with the tape, an input and output opening through which the sheet is passed, and a frame that forms at least a portion of a transport path on which the sheet is transported from the input and output opening to the drum, the frame has a first and a second frame part, the first and second frame parts move relative to each other to switch between a state in which the transport path is formed and a state in which at least a portion of the transport path is open, the first frame part supports the reel, and forms a tape path extending from the reel to the drum, the first frame part moves together with the reel and the tape path relative to the second frame part.

According to one embodiment, a paper sheet processing system includes a paper sheet processing apparatus which includes an inspection device, a reject device, and a first communication module, and a robot device which includes a robot arm and a second communication module. The reject device rejects a rejected paper sheet and a batch card to a rejecting port. When the batch card is detected, the first communication module transmits a predetermined signal to the robot device. Upon receiving the predetermined signal, the robot device takes the rejected paper sheet and the batch card out of the rejecting port by the robot arm, moves them to another storage section, and transmits a move completion signal to the paper sheet processing apparatus.

A device for removing road tape from a surface comprises a body, and a drive assembly coupled to the body. The drive assembly comprises a motor having a drive wheel, at least one drive belt, a rolling drum drive wheel configured to engage the at least one drive belt, and at least one rolling drum configured to secure an end of the road tape. The rolling drum is configured to rotate in response to rotation of the rolling drum drive wheel and wind the road tape about a circumference. The winding of the road tape drives the body in a forward direction.

A printing apparatus includes: a sheet discharge tray having an upstream portion tilted to extend downward in a direction of gravity; an upper member limiting a height of a space above the sheet discharge tray; a full sensor configured to detect an upstream end of a top sheet of sheets stacked on the sheet discharge tray; a counter configured to count a number of the sheets discharged onto the sheet discharge tray; and a controller. The controller determines whether to stop discharging of the sheets to the sheet discharge tray, based on a detection result of the full sensor upon the sheets to be stacked on the sheet discharge tray including only sheets each with uniform thickness and based on a count value of the counter upon the sheets to be stacked on the sheet discharge tray including a sheet with thickness varying partly.

An apparatus and method accurately measures an amount of overlap in joining together the end portions of a sheet-shaped member constituting a tire. The overlap amount of the sheet-shaped member front and rear ends is measured when the sheet-shaped member having been molded into a predetermined length with molding marks extending on the surface in width direction is wound around the periphery of a molding drum from the front end. In doing so, a detector detects a first molding mark formed on the sheet-shaped member on the rear end side and a second molding mark formed on the sheet-shaped member on the front end side by capturing images of an entire area including the overlap from above by an image capturing device. A calculator calculates the amount of overlap by measuring the distance between the first and second molding marks on the sheet-shaped member from the frames of captured images.

An apparatus and a corresponding method involve storing value documents, in particular bank notes, to a storage device and to a value-document processing system. A stacker wheel is arranged to receive value documents and dispense them one after the other. A transport device is arranged to receive the value documents dispensed one after the other by the stacker wheel and to transport them in such a way that the value documents come to lie on top of each other in a shingled manner. A storage device for storing the value documents lying on top of each other in a shingled manner is provided.

A system has: a transport chain, which is roof-shaped in an upper region, along which printed products are transportable astride, collectable, and optionally stitchable in an intermediate stitching station; and a stop, which is adjustable in accordance with a format of a printed product of the printed products being delivered, is arranged in a transport direction of the printed products, and is positioned after the intermediate stitching station along the transport chain, the stop corresponding to a location of delivery of the printed product from the transport chain. A cyclic transfer of the printed product during the delivery takes place via a delivery system, the delivery system having in an infeed region a printed product transporter configured to transfer the printed product being delivered, the printed product transporter having pivot arms, the pivot arms being controllable according to a measured thickness of the printed product being delivered.

The invention relates to apparatus having a cash box device (100, 500) that comprises a housing (106) in which two roll storage systems (102, 104) for storing bank notes are held.

A banknote processing apparatus capable of properly storing and dispensing a banknote is provided. The banknote processing apparatus includes: a transport unit that transports a banknote; a long-edge orientation storage unit that receives and stores, in a first orientation, the banknote transported by the transport unit, the first orientation being an orientation in which a short edge of the banknote is a leading edge thereof; a short-edge orientation storage unit that receives and stores, in a second orientation, the banknote transported by the transport unit, the second orientation being an orientation in which a long edge of the banknote is a leading edge thereof; and a control unit that selects, by controlling the transport unit, a storage destination for the banknote transported by the transport unit, from among any of the long-edge orientation storage unit and the short-edge orientation storage unit.

A stacking apparatus of a sheet-shaped workpiece includes a pick-and-place machine that holds and picks up a sheet-shaped workpiece cut out from a sheet material and places the workpiece onto a stacking position to stack sequentially, a detector that is provided in the pick-and-place machine and detects a position of the workpiece in a lifted state by the pick-and-place machine and a controller that controls the pick-and-place machine. The controller calculates a position shift of the workpiece based on the position of the workpiece detected by the detector and adjusts, based on the calculated position shift, a holding position of a workpiece by the pick-and-place machine in a future operation.
