A sheet handling device includes: a first storage; a second storage using a storage method different form that of the first storage; a transporter that transports a sheet; and a controller that controls the transporter to transport the sheet. When the second storage is neither a transport source of the sheet nor a transport destination of the sheet, the controller controls the transporter to transport the sheet at a first speed. When the second storage is at least the transport source of the sheet or the transport destination of the sheet, the controller controls the transporter to transport the sheet at a second speed lower than the first speed.

Provided is a circulation-type paper sheet storage unit equipped with circulation units in a casing, enabling to swiftly take measures and perform recovery processing on the user side when the circulation unit malfunctions. The paper sheet storage unit includes circulation units (100 and 200) that are accommodated in a casing 60 to receive paper sheets transported into the casing by operating upon reception of a drive force from a motor and feed paper sheets stored therein to outside of the casing. The casing includes guide members 620 that serve as a guide at the time of attaching or detaching the circulation unit with respect to the casing, and the circulation unit includes guided members (655A, 675A, 655B, and 675B) which respectively detachably engage with the guide member, and are guided to an installation completion position along the guide members in an engaged state.

A cassette to dispense a pleated tubing having an annular body, an annular cover and a plurality of apertures. The annular body may have a generally U-shaped housing with a central cylindrical core. The annular cover may extend over the annular body and define a gap, while being secured to the body. The plurality of apertures may be radially provided in an angular wall in the annular body.

A manufacturing device includes a belt table situated adjacent to a master roll table; a hand feeding the master roll from the master roll table to the belt table; and a cutting device cutting the master roll between the master roll table and the belt table, wherein the hand includes a first hand which keeps holding a front part of the master roll in a feeding direction of the master roll from start to end of feeding of the master roll and a second hand which holds a rear part trailing the front part in the feeding direction

An apparatus may include a housing, a power-supply, a user-interface, a wrap-roller, a dispenser. In one embodiment, the apparatus is configured to roll an unwound hand-wrap after a workout. In another embodiment, a vending machine includes the housing, the power-supply, the user-interface, the wrap-roller, and the dispenser. In this embodiment, the housing includes a plurality of items that may aid in a users' workout and may selectively dispensed from the vending machine. The vending and use of the apparatus may be monetized for profit at sports-related establishments.

In a drum-type paper sheet accumulation device that sequentially supplies paper sheets to an outer circumferential surface of a payout drum, accumulates the paper sheets by winding the paper sheets in a stacked state, and returns the paper sheets all at once, a technique is provided which can keep a linear velocity of a paper sheet located at an outermost circumference of the payout drum constant and can maintain an arranged state of the paper sheets without any particular speed control. A paper sheet accumulation drum 105 that stacks and accumulates paper sheets supplied one by one on an outer circumferential surface thereof while rotating, includes a plurality of retractable members 280 that are arranged on a paper sheet accumulation portion of the outer circumferential surface in a predetermined circumferential arrangement, are configured to be retractable between a most protruding position protruding radially outward and a retreat position retreating from the most protruding position radially inward, are each elastically biased in a protruding direction, and each come into contact with a paper sheet surface on an outer surface. The paper sheets are accumulated to spread over the retractable members.

To prevent a failure or the like caused by winding of a tape in a reverse direction to a proper direction, a paper sheet circulation device includes a travelling-direction mark having a pattern that is formed along a travelling-direction of a detection tape and indicates the difference of the travelling-direction of the tape, and a sensor module that detects the travelling-direction mark and outputs a detection signal. The paper sheet circulation device determines a travelling-direction of the tape from a pattern signal in accordance with the travelling-direction of the tape acquired on the basis of a temporal change of the detection signal, and determines a winding direction of the tape on a drum from the travelling-direction of the tape and a rotation direction of the drum.
