A cover feeder for providing book covers to a production unit of a book completion line includes a first receiving device for book covers of the same format, which can be positioned individually, in an overlapping flow and/or in a stack thereon, and a second receiving device that is arranged upstream of the first receiving device for a stack of book covers having different formats. The cover feeder includes a control unit to which information can be transmitted relating to the format and sequence of book covers in the stack of book covers having different formats, and a laterally adjustable centering device connected to the control unit for a defined lateral displacement and/or aligning of respectively one book cover that is separated out from the second receiving device and is positioned on the first receiving device.

Disclosed herein is an apparatus for processing a medium, including: a accepting unit in which the medium is loaded; a dispending unit from which the medium is withdrawn; a medium discriminator configured to discriminate a denomination of the medium loaded into the accepting unit; a plurality of medium storage boxes configured to each discriminate and store the medium by denomination of the medium discriminated by the medium discriminator; and a controller configured to store the medium loaded through the accepting unit by the same denomination in the medium storage box and withdraw the loaded medium from the medium storage box according to a predetermined withdrawal criterion.

An infeed module of a valuable media depository is configured to track media edge detection during ejection processing. When sensors of the infeed module report conditions that would otherwise indicate that media has exited or been retracted back into the infeed module during ejection processing, reporting of the conditions are delayed or modified based on a tracked edge detection status. Thereby permitting the infeed module to perform proper ejection processing on both windowed and non-windowed media regardless of the dimensions present for any windowed portions of the media.

Provided is a multi-banknote cassette with a movable stopper, which is capable of storing various kinds of banknotes at the same time. The multi-banknote cassette includes a movable stopper which is installed in a stack guide for guiding banknotes introduced into a cassette body of the banknote cassette toward a banknote stopper, and rotated to protrude from or retreat into a transfer path of the banknotes. When a banknote having a relatively small size among the banknotes inserted into the banknote cassette is introduced, the movable stopper is rotated to protrude from the stack guide and regulates the front end of the introduced banknote, and when a banknote having a relatively large size is introduced, the movable stopper is rotated to retreat into the stack guide, and a banknote stopper installed at the rear of the stack guide regulates the front end of the introduced bank.

The purpose of the present invention is to reduce the size of an automatic teller machine (ATM), in which the height of a banknote deposit/withdrawal opening is in a lower position, while maintaining banknote storage capacity. A banknote handling device handles bank notes, and the banknote handling device has a first conveyance roller that conveys bank notes and that changes the conveyance direction of the banknotes between a conveyance path in which the banknotes are conveyed from the deposit/withdrawal unit along the vertical direction and a conveyance path in which the banknotes are conveyed in the horizontal direction. The distance between a delivery unit and a first conveyance unit is shorter than the length of the banknotes in the conveyance direction. Due to this configuration, it is possible to reduce the height of the banknote handling device and to reduce the size of the banknote handling device or the ATM.

Input stacks of value documents are inserted in an input pocket of the value document processing apparatus, transported through the apparatus, checked and sorted into different deposit pockets of the value document processing apparatus, wherein reject value documents are deposited separately from the valid value documents. The reject value documents are automatically transported back to the input pocket with the aid of a reject transport device, to check the reject value documents again with the same value document processing apparatus (rerun). The reject transport device has several reject transport units, in which the reject value documents from the different input stacks are deposited separately from each other, and a reader for reading in the machine-readable identifier of the respective reject transport unit used for assigning the reject value documents of the respective reject transport unit to the input stack to which these reject value documents belong.

A medium conveyance device includes a placement body having a bundle conveyance face on which a medium bundle is conveyed. A Scott-Russell body includes an abutting portion that abuts the medium bundle. A movement section causes the Scott-Russell body to abut against the medium bundle and moves the Scott-Russell body along the bundle conveyance face in first or second directions, so as to move the medium bundle along the bundle conveyance face in the direction. The conveyance state switching section switches to a first state in which the Scott-Russell body is caused to abut against a second direction side of the medium bundle and conveyance of the medium bundle toward the first direction is enabled, or to a second state in which the Scott-Russell body is caused to abut against a first direction side of the medium bundle and conveyance of the medium bundle toward the second direction is enabled.

A wrapping module and a method for providing a sleeve around a mail item are disclosed. A sheet is folded over a leading edge of each mail item so that a first part of the sheet is folded against an upper side of the mail item and the second part of the sheet is folded against a lower side of the mail item and a third part of the sheet extends in the upstream direction beyond the trailing edge of the mail item. Glue is dispensed on the third part. The mail item is turned around with a turning station having a pendulum so that the third part of the sheet is folded around the mail item so that the third part is connected to the first part by the glue to form the sleeve.

A medium housing device includes: a frame including an internal space; a partitioning plate that partitions the internal space so as to intersect with a specific collection direction, and that forms a collection space in which the medium is collected along the collection direction; a partitioning plate moving section that moves the partitioning plate along the collection direction; a side guide that is attached inside the frame and that determines the size of the collection space in an intersecting direction intersecting with the collection direction; a positioning portion that positions an end portion of the side guide at one attachment position selected from a plurality of attachment positions; and a retention switching portion that switches between a retained state in which the end portion of the side guide is positioned, and a retention-released state in which the end portion of the side guide is not positioned.
