A banknote accommodating device includes a box body, a box door and a banknote inlet. A movable guide plate in the box body is arranged below the banknote inlet through a rotating shaft, and has a guide surface facing the banknote inlet, and an included angle between the guide surface and a vertical direction ranges from 0 degree to 20 degrees, an elastic element is provided on a back surface of the guide surface, and provides a thrust to rotate the movable guide plate counterclockwise. The box door is provided with a guide rib which forms an included angle with the vertical direction, and a stacking surface is provided at the bottom of the box body and forms an included angle with a horizontal direction, and a space for stacking banknotes vertically is formed between the guide surface, the guide rib and the stacking surface.

A sheet processing device in an embodiment includes a processing section, a tray, a lifting and lowering device, a flexible member, a first member, and a second member. The processing section processes a sheet. The sheet can be placed on a first surface on a first side of the tray. The lifting and lowering device moves the sheet to the processing section. The flexible member is provided on the first side of the tray and has flexibility. The first member is connected to a first end portion of the flexible member. The second member is connected to a second end portion opposite to the first end portion of the flexible member. The second member is separated from the first member in a first direction. A separation distance between the second member and the first member is shorter than length of the flexible member between the second member and the first member.

A tapping device includes a contact unit that comes into contact with a medium from one side of a crossing direction that crosses a transport direction of the medium; an approaching and separation unit that approaches and is separated from the contact unit in the crossing direction; and a displacement unit that is supported by the approaching and separation unit via a bias unit, at each of positions shifted from each other in the transport direction to be displaceable in the crossing direction, and taps the medium in contact with the contact unit from the other side of the crossing direction by the approaching and separation unit approaching the contact unit.

Provided is a sheet processing device that includes a guide, a support section, a stacker, and a gate. The guide is provided with a conveyance surface along a conveyance direction of a sheet. The support section is configured to form a conveyance path of the sheet together with the guide. The stacker is provided with a stack surface that supports a surface of the sheet conveyed through the conveyance path. The gate is configured to be able to receive the sheet into the stacker. The gate includes a first extension part and a second extension part. A plurality of first extension parts are disposed at intervals in a direction orthogonal to each of a normal direction of the stack surface and the conveyance direction. The second extension part is disposed to close spacing between two of the adjacent first extension parts in the orthogonal direction.

The disclosure relates to a banknote stack transport arrangement (100) for a cash handling machine (10), comprising a first structure (110) presenting a first banknote engagement portion (116) being displaceable in relation to the first structure; a second structure (120) presenting a second banknote engagement portion (126) being displaceable in relation to the second structure; wherein the first structure is pivotally arranged at its first end (112) so as to be swingably movable between a closed configuration (C1) and an open configuration (C2); and the second structure (120) is pivotally arranged at its second end (124) so as to be swingably movable between a rest position (P1) and an active position (P2), wherein the second structure (120) is configured to press the banknote stack (30) towards the first banknote engagement portion (126); and wherein the banknote stack transport arrangement is configured to transport said banknote stack (30) out from the temporary banknote receptacle (130) by displacing said first (116) and second (126) banknote engagement portions and by moving the second structure (120) to the active position (P2).
