An apparatus for receiving and sorting disks includes a wheel having at least one well for receiving a disk, a motor coupled to the wheel, a collecting device positioned relative to the wheel, a disk sensor, an ejector, and a controller. The collecting device has at least a first collector and a second collector configured for receiving disks. The disk sensor is configured to detect a value of a parameter of a disk received in the well and generate a parameter value signal. The ejector is coupled to the wheel proximate the well and configured to eject a disk from the well in a plane parallel to a bottom surface of the wheel in response to an eject signal. The controller is operably coupled with the disk sensor and the ejector.

A medium storage box includes a storage unit that stores a medium, a handle configured to rotate in a first direction from a first state to a second state and a second direction opposite to the first direction from the second state to the first state, and a rotation restricting portion that prevents rotation of the handle in the second direction. The handle includes a grip portion and an arm that includes an upper surface portion or a top portion and extends in an extending direction toward the upper surface portion or the top portion from the rotational axis. The arm is configured such that an end portion of an arm center line side in the upper surface portion or the top portion is separated toward a first direction side with respect to an arm center line extending from the rotational axis to the extending direction.

A computer-implemented method includes generating a computer user interface to accept physical counts of items associated with events recorded by a collection of electronic devices. A first user interface screen includes a list of a first subset of electronic devices from the collection of electronic devices and for each electronic device in the first subset, a field indicating a physical count of items associated with the electronic device. A second user interface screen includes input fields for receiving physical counts of the items and a menu of a second subset of the collection of electronic devices, wherein none of the electronic devices in the second subset are in the first subset such that it is impossible for a user to select an electronic device displayed on the first screen.

A money handling apparatus (for example, money depositing and dispensing machine 100) includes a state detector 107 configured to detect a state of another money handling apparatus (for example, money change machine 200) to which the storage cassette (for example, banknote storage cassette 300) has previously been mounted or a state of the storage cassette itself and a determiner 108 configured to determine whether a counter (for example, recognizer 132) counts the money taken out from the storage cassette, based on the state detected by the state detector.

To correct a posture of a paper sheet inserted from various positions and angles to a normal transport state without causing any deformation due to contact with a side wall while transporting the paper sheet continuously and non-intermittently. A drive-side unit (20) includes at least one drive roller (25) that is supported rotatably about a shaft orthogonal to a normal paper-sheet transport direction and axially movably, an elastic biasing member (40) that elastically biases the drive roller in an axial direction, and a cam mechanism (50) that transmits a driving force from a driving source to the drive roller, and operates when an external force exceeding a predetermined value in a direction other than a normal transport direction is applied to the paper sheet transported by the drive roller, so as to change an axial position of the drive roller against an elastic biasing force, and a driven-side unit (100) includes a driven roller that changes a transport grip between the drive roller and a paper sheet according to a change of an axial position of the drive roller.

According to some embodiments, a coin processing system for processing a plurality of coins, comprises a rotatable disc having a resilient pad coupled thereto for imparting motion to the plurality of coins, the resilient pad being generally circular and having an outer periphery edge, a center, and an upper surface. The system further comprises a stationary sorting head having a lower surface generally parallel to and spaced slightly away from the resilient pad, the lower surface forming a coin path for directing the movement of each of the coins past a coin re-gauging area. The re-gauging area comprises a gauging block, a lower surface, and an elevated surface. The rotation of the pad drives radial outward edges of the coins into contact with the gauging block. The elevated surface is positioned radially inward of a portion of the lower surface and the gauging block is positioned radially outward of the portion of the lower surface. When the coins contact the gauging block the coins are pressed by the pad upward toward the sorting head such that the radially inner edges of the coins are pressed into the elevated surface and a portion of the coins contacts a portion of the lower surface whereby the coins contact the gauging block in a radial outward downward tilted manner. The gauging block has a gauging wall having an upstream end and a downstream end, the downstream end of the gauging wall being positioned radially closer to the center of the pad than the upstream end of the gauging wall. The rotation of the pad drives the coins downstream along a gauging wall of the gauging block whereby the outer edges of the coins becomes radially aligned and wherein the coins are driven along the gauging wall in a radial outward downward tilted manner with the radially inward, lower edges of the coins being above the upper surface of the pad.

There is provided a coin diverter that allows increase in the number of coin diversion directions and reduction in the size of a coin handling apparatus. The coin diverter includes a diverter member that diverts a coin from a transport path and a driver that changes the state of the diverter member to any of a first state in which the diverter member leads the coin toward the downstream side of the transport path, a second state in which the diverter member leads the coin in a first direction in which the coin drops from the transport path, and a third state in which the diverter member leads the coin in a second direction different from the direction toward the downstream side of the transport path and the first direction.

This document relates to a device for sorting, checking and forwarding coins referred to as a hopper, comprising a rotatably mounted carrier disk for feeding coins from a collection receptacle and a device for forwarding coins guided on the carrier disk to a transfer device. The device for forwarding comprises a rotatable transport disk, which is disposed adjoining the carrier disk and designed to individually receive the respective coins guided on the carrier disk and to move them past a sensor unit for determining at least one parameter of the coin. The transfer device comprises a redirection system, which is designed to channel the coin onto different transport paths as a function of the at least one parameter of the coin.
