A document handler is provided with a casement 1 which comprises a lower case 6 which has a lower cover 7 for providing a bottom surface of a passageway 5 and a lower tray 8 attached to a bottom of lower cover 7 to form therebetween a lower cavity 3d in which lower optical sensing element 3a of optical sensor 3 is disposed. Even if liquid spilled on a main surface of the table may often enter passageway 5 to the rear from the bill inlet, there is incurred no damage to electric instruments in lower cavity 3d by extraneous substance which is discharged through a drainage 15.
G07F 7/04 - Mécanismes actionnés par des objets autres que des pièces de monnaie pour déclencher ou actionner des appareils de vente, de location, de distribution de pièces de monnaie ou de papier-monnaie, ou de remboursement par du papier-monnaie
Provided is a valuable paper treating system having a discriminating device and a printing device connected communicably with each other so that the information in the discriminating device is printed by the printing device. A valuable paper treating system (1) comprises a discriminating device (2) for discriminating the genuineness of a valuable paper, a printing device (3) for printing information on a card (20), and a communication connecting device (4) for connecting the discriminating device (2) and the printing device (3) communicably. The discriminating device (2) transmits the discrimination information, which is automatically stored with the lapse of a predetermined time period, through the communication connecting device (4) to the printing device (3). Alternatively, when a trigger switch is depressed so that the discriminating device (2) is fed with a discrimination information transmission command signal or receives a retrieval command signal from the printing device (3), the discriminating device (2) transmits the discrimination information therein to the printing device (3) through the communication connecting device (4) so that the discrimination information can be printed by the printing device (3).

LED DEVICE AND OPTICAL DETECTOR THEREWITH FOR BILL VALIDATOR
An LED device is provided which comprises a plastic encapsulant 7 formed with an integrated cylindrical lens 8 disposed opposite to an LED chip 5 to provide light from LED chip 5 with the wider directivity angular range in the vertical Y irradiative direction than that in the horizontal X irradiative direction. When light from LED chip 5 is irradiated through cylindrical lens 8 out of plastic encapsulant 7, an outer surface of cylindrical lens 8 serves to transform light from LED chip 5 into a substantially parallel light beam which has a generally linear beam section wider in the directivity angular range of the necessary vertical Y irradiative direction, and narrower in the directivity angular range of the unnecessary horizontal X irradiative direction.
A paper money discriminating device, comprising a carrying device (2) having a rotor (5) rotatably disposed in a case (1), a drive device (12) rotating the rotor (5), and a plurality of pressing rollers (11) disposed around the rotor (5) in the state of being brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the rotor (5). A paper money (10) inserted from an inlet (8) in the case (1) is held between the rotor (5) and the pressing rollers (11), wrapped around the outer periphery of the rotating rotor (5) over its full length, and securely carried while the paper money (10) is prevented from being slipped by the rotating motion of the carrying device (2). Also, since the paper money (10) is rotated one or more turns integrally with the rotor (5), the illicit extraction of the paper money (10) by an extractor can be prevented. When the physical properties of the paper money (10) are detected by a sensor (3) and a controller (4) determines that the paper money (10) is true, the paper money (10) is separated from the rotor (5) and discharged from an outlet (9).

APPARATUS FOR DISCRIMINATING VALUABLE PAPERS WITH CENTERING MEANS
An apparatus for discriminating valuable papers is provided wherein a validation control circuit 56 (i) drives conveyer device 8 to inwardly move bill along passageway 9 when inlet sensor 13 detects bill, (ii) ceases driving of conveyer device 8 to keep bill in the standby position in passageway 9 when trigger sensor 50 detects bill, (iii) drives a release device 42 to shift a guide roller 40 from the contact position to the separated position, (iv) activates a centering device 10 to centralize bill along the longitudinal central axis of passageway 9, (v) drives release device 42 to return guide roller 40 from the separated position to the contact position, and (vi) again drives conveyer device 8 to further inwardly move bill. When bill is inserted into an inlet 7, inlet sensor 13 detects bill to immediately drive conveyer device 8 and center bill on conveyer device 8 for smooth inserting, transporting and centering of bill with the reduced number of structural components of the apparatus.
