The present invention is directed to providing a bill-separating-and-stacking unit with a simplified power-transmission structure by integrating driving units of a push plate and a shutter into a single unit. The bill-separating-and-stacking unit includes a sheet roller configured hit bills entering a bill-stacking space with a sheet, which is rotated, and configured to guide the bills to be stacked, a push plate configured to perform reciprocation and support the bills which are stacked in the bill-stacking space, a shutter which is rotated in one direction to be located in a stacking position so that the sheet of the sheet roller is rotatable to an upper side of the bill-stacking space when the bills are stacked, and is rotated in a direction opposite the one direction to be located in a separating position so that the sheet is prevented from protruding to the upper side of the bill-stacking space when the bills are separated, and a push-plate-and-shutter driving unit having a single driving source so that the push plate and the shutter are worked in conjunction with each other.

The present disclosure is to provide a document storage assembly including a housing, a guiding plate, a supporting plate, and a displacement assembly. The supporting plate has at least one engagement structure, in which the guiding plate and the supporting plate define a storage space therebetween. The displacement assembly is configured to move the supporting plate towards or away from the guiding plate along a direction, in which the displacement assembly includes at least one first belt, at least one second belt, and a synchronous transmission assembly. The first belt has an engaging section parallel to the direction and is engaged with the engagement structure. The second belt is located under the storage space and has a supporting section parallel to the direction. The synchronous transmission assembly is configured to drive the engaging section and the supporting section to move at the same speed.

A medium stacking apparatus comprises a stacking roller for stacking a medium in a stacking space, a supporting part for supporting a lower portion of the medium transferred by the stacking roller, a plurality of stacking guides for supporting the medium disposed on the supporting part in a standing state, a plurality of moving devices for moving the plurality of stacking guides, and a control part controlling the plurality of moving devices. The control part controls the plurality of moving devices to move a second stacking guide toward a first stacking guide to allow the stacked medium to stands up in a state where the medium is supported by the first stacking guide of the plurality of stacking guides.

A medium storage box includes an internal storage space configured to store a paper sheet-shaped medium. The medium storage box includes: a first opening into which an insertion member is inserted from outside; a second opening through which the medium passes; a first shutter member that closes off the first opening; a second shutter member that closes off the second opening; and a biasing mechanism that biases either the first shutter member, or the second shutter member, or both, in a closing direction. The first shutter member is configured to be pressed by the insertion member and moves in an opening direction during insertion of the insertion member, such that a portion of the first shutter member abuts the second shutter member and moves the second shutter member in an opening direction.

A banknote handling machine includes: a distinguishing unit that distinguishes a given classifying condition covering the type according to which banknotes from multiple types of banknotes that are put in are classified; a plurality of depositories in corresponding ones of which the banknotes whose type is distinguished by the distinguishing unit are classified and housed according to the classifying condition before a transaction relating to the put-in banknotes is determined; a plurality of housing units in corresponding ones of which the banknotes that are sent from the corresponding depositories are classified and housed according to the classifying condition after the transaction is determined; and a controller that controls the depositories according to the classifying condition.

The present invention is directed to providing a banknote stacking apparatus capable of stably stacking banknotes even when various types of banknotes are stacked therein by preventing banknotes stacked in the banknote stacking space from being blown away. The banknote stacking apparatus includes a stacker for stacking banknotes in the banknote stacking space; a push plate for supporting the banknotes stacked in the banknote stacking space and be movable in a reciprocating direction; a stack guide configured to guide the banknote which passes the stacker to be loaded into the banknote stacking space; a damper configured to press the banknote introduced into one side of the banknote stacking space toward the push plate located on the other side of the banknote stacking space; and a damper driver operating the damper to move in a direction toward the banknote stacking space and a direction away from the banknote stacking space.
