A banknote storing device (for example, a storing and feeding unit (20)), includes a plurality of banknote storing mechanism (24, 26) arranged inside a casing (20a) side by side along a depth direction of the casing (20a). When viewed in a predetermined direction that is a direction orthogonal to the depth direction of the casing (20a) and also orthogonal to an axis direction of rotating members (for example, drums (24a, 26a)), at least one of the rotating members is arranged at a position at which the rotating member does not overlap with any of winding member accommodating units (for example, reels (25a, 25b, 27a, 27b)).

A double-tape banknote temporary storage device is provided, which includes a banknote temporary storage reel, a pair of tape withdrawing reel assemblies, a pair of tapes, a pair of tape pressing wheels. The double-tape banknote temporary storage device further includes a planetary gear decelerating motor and a synchronous gear transmission system, and a driving gear is provided on an output shaft of the planetary gear decelerating motor. The synchronous gear transmission system includes a first gear, a first transmission gear set engaged with the driving gear and transmitting power to both of the banknote temporary storage reel and the first tape withdrawing reel assembly simultaneously, and a second transmission gear set connecting the first gear and the second tape withdrawing reel assembly and transmitting power to the second tape withdrawing reel assembly.

An escrow module of a valuable media depository is configured to self-adjust the position of an escrow drum relative to an escrow pinch. The media is maintained within the pinch as the escrow module takes in media items and returns media items by the self-adjusting positions of the escrow drum. As the drum fills up with media items, the drum is moved away from the escrow pinch while maintaining a consistent media path and providing consistent performance regardless of the number of media items being processed in a transaction to and from the drum.

A sheet processing apparatus includes: an input section that receives a sheet; a dispensing section that dispenses the sheet; transporters that transport the sheet input through the input section, to the dispensing section; storages that store the sheet; and diverting sections that divert the sheet transported by the transporters, to the storages, wherein diversion points at which the sheet is diverted by the diverting sections are provided at positions higher than terminal ends of the transporters.

A banknote storage unit comprising: a first tape reel banknote storage device; a second tape reel banknote storage device; and a drive transmission means pivotable between engagement with said first tape reel banknote storage device and engagement with said second tape reel banknote storage device.

A sheet storing device includes: a rotary drum; at least one tape that wraps a sheet around the rotary drum; and at least one first pressing member that is shifted from the tape along an axis of the rotary drum and presses the sheet against the outer circumferential surface of the rotary drum. The first pressing member presses the sheet against the rotary drum at or near a starting point at which the tape to be wound on the rotary drum first comes into contact with the rotary drum.

A paper sheet accommodation apparatus includes: a supply reel which supplies a wound band-like material; a winding drum around which a paper sheet is wound together with the band-like material supplied from the supply reel; a taking in and out section through which the paper sheet is taken in and out; and a rotating shaft that is disposed in the taking in and out section, is rotatably provided with a pulley that supports the band-like material, and has a transport roller fixed thereto, which transports the paper sheet.

A paper sheet accommodation apparatus includes: a supply reel which supplies a wound band-like material; a winding drum around which a paper sheet is wound together with the band-like material that is supplied from the supply reel; and a roller member which is disposed along an axial direction of the winding drum and presses the band-like material and the paper sheet that are wound around the winding drum against the winding drum. The roller member includes a first roller portion in contact with the band-like material, and a second roller portion in contact with the paper sheet in the axial direction of the winding drum.

A banknote temporary storage device includes: a timing unit, configured to obtain a time period between a time when the front end of a banknote enters into a first sensor and a time when the back end of the banknote leaves the first sensor; a calculating unit, configured to calculate a width of the banknote based on the time period, calculate a bump radius based on the width, and determine a condition of generating a bump on the storage coiling block; a detecting unit, configured to detect whether the condition of generating a bump on the storage coiling block is met, based on a real-time radius; and an interval control unit, configured to change an interval between banknotes on the storage coiling block in a pre-set control manner to eliminate a bump, in a case that the condition is met.

A double-tape banknote temporary storage device is provided, which includes a banknote temporary storage reel, a pair of tape withdrawing reel assemblies, a pair of tapes, a pair of tape pressing wheels. The double-tape banknote temporary storage device further includes a planetary gear decelerating motor and a synchronous gear transmission system, and a driving gear is provided on an output shaft of the planetary gear decelerating motor. The synchronous gear transmission system includes a first gear, a first transmission gear set engaged with the driving gear and transmitting power to both of the banknote temporary storage reel and the first tape withdrawing reel assembly simultaneously, and a second transmission gear set connecting the first gear and the second tape withdrawing reel assembly and transmitting power to the second tape withdrawing reel assembly.
