される。[0004] In each of the above inspection devices, genuine bills are sent out again in a bundle, and damaged coins are accumulated at a predetermined portion in the inspection device, and later discarded collectively. Further, a predetermined number of rejected tickets are put into a cassette provided in the inspection apparatus.

へ戻す搬出路とから構成される。[0005] A bundle accumulating device is arranged adjacent to the bundle supplying device, and the bundle supplying device, the bundle accumulating device, and the inspection device are connected by a transport device. This transport device is composed of a carry-in path for sending unchecked ticket bundles from the bundle supply device to the inspection device, and a carry-out path for returning genuine note bundles sent from the inspection device to the bundle stacking device.

装置へ運び込まれる。That is, the bundle stacking device receives a bundle of genuine bills and performs necessary post-processing steps after stacking. On the other hand, the cassette for collecting the rejected tickets is taken out of the inspection device by an operator and carried to a separately provided reexamination device dedicated to the rejected tickets.

【発明が解決しようとする課題】ところで、このような
券類処理装置において、何らかの理由で束供給装置が停
止することがあり、このときは当然ながら、検査装置へ
の未検査券類束の供給が断たれてしまう。さらに、検査
装置から検査済みの正券類束を排出することが不可能に
なるため、検査装置と束集積装置の動作を停止せざるを
得ない。Incidentally, in such a ticket processing apparatus, the bundle supply apparatus may stop for some reason. In this case, naturally, the supply of the uninspected ticket bundle to the inspection apparatus is performed. Is cut off. Further, since it becomes impossible to discharge the inspected bundle of genuine bills from the inspection device, the operation of the inspection device and the bundle stacking device must be stopped.

ち、束供給装置の稼働率によって処理装置全体の稼働時
間が大きく左右されている。[0008] When the bundle supply device fails as described above, all of the plurality of inspection devices and the bundle accumulator that are connected to the bundle supply device via the transfer device cannot operate. That is, the operation time of the entire processing apparatus is largely influenced by the operation rate of the bundle supply apparatus.
【０００９】また、排除券類が投入されるカセットを、
バッチエンド毎に作業者が各検査装置まで取りに行くよ
うになっているため、専用作業者を待機させる必要があ
り、機械操作に無駄が生じていた。Further, the cassette into which the rejected tickets are inserted is
Since the worker goes to each inspection device at each batch end, it is necessary to make a dedicated worker wait, and wasteful machine operation occurs.
【００１０】特に、券類処理装置を構成する各装置がシ
ステムとして同時に作動するときには、専用作業者が一
度に多くの排除券類用カセットを回収しなければなら
ず、労力がかかる。In particular, when the devices constituting the ticket processing apparatus operate simultaneously as a system, a dedicated operator must collect a large number of rejected ticket cassettes at once, which is labor intensive.
【００１１】なお、束供給装置から送り出された未検査
券類束が、何らかの理由により検査装置に取込まれない

で持参したうえで再度投入する必要があり、ここでも作
業性が悪いものであった。In some cases, a bundle of uninspected tickets sent from the bundle supply device passes for some reason without being taken into the inspection device. In this case, the ticket bundles are accumulated in the separately provided exclusion box, so the operator must go to the exclusion box to collect the ticket bundles, bring the bundle supply device again, and then insert it again. Again, workability was poor.

置がずれてしまうと、美観を損なう。Although the position of the band wound around the uninspected tickets is checked by the bundle supply device, the position may be shifted before the belt is carried into the inspection device. Therefore, the inspection processing by the inspection device becomes difficult, and the reliability is reduced. In addition, if the position of the belt is shifted before the genuine bundle of bundles output from the inspection device is guided to the bundle stacking device, the appearance is impaired.
