niederdrueckvorrichtung for bank notes to be dispensed again for a machine for receiving and dispensing of bank notes

摘要

A circulating-bill pressing-down apparatus used for a bill receiving and dispensing machine having a circulating-bill pressing-down means for pressing down accumulated bills from the top thereof to provide to a roller sufficient frictional force for feeding out the bills. According to the present invention, the bill pressing-down plate is projected only when the amount of the accumulated bills becomes less than a predetermined level. This makes it possible to reduce the vertical displacement of the bill pressing-down plate as compared with the bill pressing-down member of the prior art in which it always presses down the accumulated bills and therefore it also makes it possible to reduce the size of the mechanism for vertically driving the bill pressing-down plate as well as the overall size of the bill receiving and dispensing machine. Furthermore, according to the present invention, the number of retractions and projections of the bill pressing-down plate is reduced since the bill pressing-down plate is actuated only when the amount of the accumulated bills becomes less than the predetermined level. This makes it possible to shorten the operation cycle time of the bill receiving and dispensing machine and also to reduce the manufacturing cost thereof.
