Abrégé

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a bill counter which is of the type capable of counting bills without transferring the bills, and which allows reductions in equipment size and weight as well as in cost. The bill counter (1) according to the present invention is provided with a rotatable mounting base (20), a counting means for counting a stack of bills, and a motor (110) for transmitting a drive force to the mounting base (20) and the counting means, said bill counter (1) being further provided with a drive force transmission mechanism in which: both a timing pulley (210) with a one-way clutch, which is connected to the mounting base (20) and serves as a first drive force transmission member, and a timing pulley (310) with a one-way clutch, which is connected to the counting means and serves as a second drive force transmission member, are coupled to the motor (110) via a common coupling belt; and when the motor (110) is rotating in either the normal or reverse direction, the first drive force transmission member is driven by the rotation of the motor (110) so as to transmit a drive force, whereas when the motor (110) is rotating in the other direction, the second drive force transmission member is driven by the rotation of the motor (110) so as to transmit a drive force.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a bill counter which is of the type capable of counting bills without transferring the bills and which allows reductions in equipment size and weight as well as in cost, and which can accurately determine the denomination of a bill using an inexpensive feature. The bill counter 1 according to the present invention is provided with: a movable mounting base 20; a pressing and holding member 40 which presses on the upper surface of the central portion of a stack of bills S, thereby holding the bills S in place; a raising roller 50 which is brought into contact with the uppermost bill S so as to press and move each bill S in a longitudinal direction and thereby raise the bill S while bending the bill S into an upwardly convex shape; a flipping roller 60 which flips the raised bills S; a holding member 70 which holds each flipped bill S in an upwardly convex shape; a counting sensor 90 which counts each bill S; a vaned wheel 80 which scoops up and stacks each bill S being held by the holding member 70; and a denomination determination means 2 which determines the denomination of each bill S being held by the holding member 70.

Abrégé

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a paper currency counting machine with which paper currency can be counted without being transported, thereby enabling the counting particularly of paper currency bundled with a wrapper, and with which the device can be made smaller and the cost can be reduced, the operating sound can be effectively suppressed, and paper currency can be counted accurately by means of a simple configuration. The paper currency counting machine is equipped at least with: a placement stand 20; a restraining jig 30; a pickup roller 40 that pushes a piece of paper currency S in the lengthwise direction, thereby picking up the piece of paper currency S while bending it upward in a convex shape; a lifting roller 50 that contacts the upper surface of the piece of paper currency S that has been picked up, and lifts the piece of paper currency S in an oblique direction; a holder 60 that holds, above the lifting roller 50, the piece of paper currency S that has been lifted; and a counting sensor 70 that counts the paper currency S. The lifting roller 50 is provided at position at a distance above the uppermost piece of paper currency S.
