　図７Ａにおいて、右側スライド機構１７１Ｒは、第２連結機構１８４（図７Ｃ）がない左側スライド機構１７１Ｌと同じ構成であり、紙幣収納ユニット３０の図示右側を筐体１０２の内壁で紙幣収納ユニット３０の収納体３１を移動可能に支持している。 In FIG. 7A, the right slide mechanism 171R has the same configuration as the left slide mechanism 171L without the second connecting mechanism 184 (FIG. 7C), and the right side of the bill storage unit 30 is the inner wall of the housing 102 on the right side of the bill storage unit 30. The storage body 31 is movably supported.
　したがって、図１に示すように、筐体１０２の扉１０６を開いて、図５に示すように、紙幣処理ユニット１０の把手１１ａで掴んで紙幣処理ユニット１０に手前方向に力を加えることにより、ユニットガイド機構５０を介して、紙幣処理ユニット１０を引き出すことができる。また、図６に示すように、収納体３１の把手３１ａを掴んで、収納体３１を引き出し、紙幣収納部３２を取り出すことにより紙幣の回収作業や装填作業を行なうことができる。 Therefore, by opening the door 106 of the housing 102 as shown in FIG. 1 and holding it with the handle 11a of the banknote processing unit 10 as shown in FIG. The banknote processing unit 10 can be pulled out via the unit guide mechanism 50. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 6, the collection | recovery operation | work and loading operation | work of a banknote can be performed by grasping the handle 31a of the storage body 31, pulling out the storage body 31, and taking out the banknote storage part 32. FIG.
　また、紙幣処理ユニット１０を筐体１０２から引き出すまたは収納する際に、第１および第２連結機構１６４，１８４は、紙幣処理ユニット１０および紙幣収納ユニット３０との水平方向への距離の調節により、以下のような作用効果を奏する。図７Ｅは紙幣処理装置１の紙幣処理ユニット１０などの引き出し動作を説明する説明図である。筐体１０２の幅方向の寸法のバラツキにより、筐体１０２の内壁と紙幣処理ユニット１０および紙幣収納ユニット３０の外壁との間隙であるスライド用間隙Ｌｓ１，Ｌｓ２に移動方向で差が生じることがある。こうしたスライド用間隙Ｌｓ１，Ｌｓ２の差は、紙幣処理ユニット１０または紙幣収納ユニット３０の引き出しまたは収納する際に、第１および第２ガイド部１５２，１７２と第１および第２被ガイド部１６２，１８２との摩擦力の増大を招く。しかし、第１距離調節部１６８は、第１連結機構１６４が加わる水平方向の力を受けたときに、図７Ｃに示すように、第１ガイド部１５２と筐体１０２と間隙または第１被ガイド部１６２と紙幣処理ユニット１０の距離を変えることにより、スライド用間隙Ｌｓ１の差を吸収する。また、第２距離調節部１８８も同様に、筐体１０２と紙幣収納ユニット３０とのスライド用間隙Ｌｓ２の差を吸収する。このような第１および第２距離調節部１６８，１８８によるスライド用間隙Ｌｓ１，Ｌｓ２の差を吸収する作用によって、第１および第２ガイド部１５２，１７２と第１および第２被ガイド部１６２，１８２とのスライド時に生じる摩擦力の増大を低減し、よって、紙幣処理ユニット１０および紙幣収納ユニット３０を筐体１０２に対して小さな操作力でスムーズなスライド動作させることができる。 Further, when the bill processing unit 10 is pulled out or stored from the housing 102, the first and second connecting mechanisms 164 and 184 adjust the distance in the horizontal direction between the bill processing unit 10 and the bill storage unit 30. The following effects are exhibited. FIG. 7E is an explanatory diagram for explaining a drawing operation of the banknote processing unit 10 of the banknote processing apparatus 1. Due to variations in dimensions in the width direction of the housing 102, there may be a difference in the moving direction between the slide gaps Ls1 and Ls2, which are the gaps between the inner wall of the housing 102 and the outer walls of the bill processing unit 10 and the bill storage unit 30. . The difference between the slide gaps Ls1 and Ls2 is that the first and second guide portions 152 and 172 and the first and second guided portions 162 and 182 when the bill processing unit 10 or the bill storage unit 30 is pulled out or stored. This causes an increase in frictional force. However, when the first distance adjusting unit 168 receives a horizontal force applied by the first coupling mechanism 164, as shown in FIG. 7C, the first distance between the first guide unit 152 and the housing 102, or a first guided portion. By changing the distance between the portion 162 and the banknote processing unit 10, the difference in the slide gap Ls1 is absorbed. Similarly, the second distance adjustment unit 188 also absorbs the difference in the sliding gap Ls2 between the housing 102 and the bill storage unit 30. The first and second guide portions 152, 172 and the first and second guided portions 162, due to the action of absorbing the difference between the sliding gaps Ls1, Ls2 by the first and second distance adjusting portions 168, 188. The increase in the frictional force generated when sliding with 182 can be reduced, so that the bill processing unit 10 and the bill storage unit 30 can be smoothly slid with respect to the housing 102 with a small operating force.
　なお、上記実施例では、第１連結機構１６４を紙幣処理ユニット１０と被ガイドとの間の連結した構成について説明したが、これに限らず、筐体１０２と第１ガイド部１５２との間に配置しても、スライド用間隙の差を吸収できる。 In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the first coupling mechanism 164 is coupled between the banknote processing unit 10 and the guided member is described. However, the configuration is not limited thereto, and the first coupling mechanism 164 is interposed between the housing 102 and the first guide portion 152. Even if arranged, the difference in the gap for sliding can be absorbed.

（４）－３　ユニットガイド機構５０の動作
　図１４ないし図２３は紙幣処理ユニット１０および紙幣収納ユニット３０の引き出しまたは収納作業を説明する説明図である。
（ａ）　紙幣処理ユニット１０の引き出し・収納動作
（ａ）－１　紙幣処理ユニット１０の引き出し動作
　図１４に示すように、紙幣処理ユニット１０および紙幣収納ユニット３０が収納位置にあるとする。この収納位置にて、紙幣収納部３２に装着された５個の第１ローラ５６は、図１０に示すように、収納用ガイドレール５４Ｒの一般部５４Ａに位置し、位置決め機構５５の各々の位置決め部５５ａ～５５ｅに入って位置決めされている。このとき、図１４に示すように、紙幣収納部３２は、収納体３１の底から距離Ｌｖだけ離れた吊り上げ位置にある。 (4) -3 Operation of Unit Guide Mechanism 50 FIGS. 14 to 23 are explanatory diagrams for explaining the drawer or storage operation of the banknote processing unit 10 and the banknote storage unit 30. FIG.
(A) Pulling-out and storing operation of banknote processing unit 10 (a) -1 Pulling-out operation of banknote processing unit 10 As shown in FIG. 14, it is assumed that the banknote processing unit 10 and the banknote storing unit 30 are in the storing position. At this storage position, the five first rollers 56 mounted on the bill storage part 32 are positioned on the general part 54A of the storage guide rail 54R as shown in FIG. The parts 55a to 55e are positioned. At this time, as shown in FIG. 14, the banknote storage unit 32 is in a lifting position separated from the bottom of the storage body 31 by a distance Lv.
　そして、図４に示す接続機構４５を図４に示すように非接続モードに設定し、さらに後述するように、ロック機構６０（図２４参照）を紙幣処理ユニット１０を非ロック位置に設定する。紙幣処理ユニット１０の把手１１ａ（図５参照）を手で掴んで引くと、図１５に示すように、紙幣処理ユニット１０は、矢印方向へ移動する。このとき、図１０および図１１に示すように、位置決め部５５ａ～５５ｅに位置決めされている５個の第１ローラ５６のうち、３個の第１ローラ５６は、動作初期から位置決め部５５ｂ～５５ｄの傾斜面５５ｓを上っていき、上り終わった後に、他の２個の第１ローラ５６が位置決め部５５ａ，５５ｅから脱出する。よって、５個の第１ローラ５６は、位置決め機構５５から同時に脱出しないから、動作初期時における負荷（操作力）を低減することができる。 Then, the connection mechanism 45 shown in FIG. 4 is set to the non-connection mode as shown in FIG. 4, and the lock mechanism 60 (see FIG. 24) is set to the banknote processing unit 10 in the non-lock position as will be described later. When the handle 11a (see FIG. 5) of the banknote handling unit 10 is grasped and pulled by hand, the banknote handling unit 10 moves in the direction of the arrow as shown in FIG. At this time, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, among the five first rollers 56 positioned by the positioning portions 55a to 55e, the three first rollers 56 are positioned from the initial operation to the positioning portions 55b to 55d. The other two first rollers 56 escape from the positioning portions 55a and 55e after finishing up the inclined surface 55s. Therefore, since the five first rollers 56 do not escape from the positioning mechanism 55 at the same time, the load (operation force) at the initial operation can be reduced.
　図１５に示すように、紙幣処理ユニット１０の移動につれて、紙幣収納部３２ｅの第１ローラ５６は、ガイド傾斜部５４Ｂにガイドされる。これにより、紙幣収納部３２ｅは、徐々に下降し、収納体３１の底面に載置される待避位置へ移動する。さらに紙幣処理ユニット１０が図１６，図１７の状態を経て移動すると、紙幣収納部３２ｄ，３２ｃ，３２ｂ，３２ｂがガイド傾斜部５４Ｂに順次ガイドされ、待避位置に移動する。これにより、図１８に示すように、紙幣処理ユニット１０が引き出し位置になる。こうした紙幣処理ユニット１０を引き出すことで、上述したように紙幣のジャムなどを解消することができる。 As the banknote processing unit 10 moves, the first roller 56 of the banknote storage unit 32e is guided by the guide inclined part 54B as shown in FIG. Thereby, the banknote storage part 32e gradually descends and moves to a retracted position placed on the bottom surface of the storage body 31. Further, when the banknote handling unit 10 moves through the states of FIGS. 16 and 17, the banknote storage portions 32d, 32c, 32b, and 32b are sequentially guided by the guide inclined portion 54B and moved to the retracted position. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 18, the banknote processing unit 10 becomes a drawer position. By pulling out such a banknote processing unit 10, it is possible to eliminate banknote jams and the like as described above.
（ａ）－２　紙幣処理ユニット１０の収納動作
　紙幣処理ユニット１０を筐体１０２に収納するには、図１９に示すように、紙幣処理ユニット１０に押し入れる方向へ力を加える。このとき、図１３に示すように、紙幣収納部３２ａが左右方向に位置ズレしているときには、水平方向ガイド機構５７の第２ローラ５９が調整用ガイドレール５８の端部に当たって調整用ガイドレール５８のガイド溝５８ａ内に導かれる。これにより、紙幣収納部３２は、水平方向へ位置合わせされる。 (A) -2 Storage Operation of the Banknote Processing Unit 10 In order to store the banknote processing unit 10 in the housing 102, a force is applied in the direction of pushing into the banknote processing unit 10, as shown in FIG. At this time, as shown in FIG. 13, when the banknote storage portion 32 a is displaced in the left-right direction, the second roller 59 of the horizontal guide mechanism 57 hits the end of the adjustment guide rail 58 and the adjustment guide rail 58. Is guided into the guide groove 58a. Thereby, the bill storage part 32 is aligned in the horizontal direction.
　さらに、第１ローラ５６は、収納用ガイドレール５４Ｌ（５４Ｒ）に達すると、図７Ｈに示すように、一方の第１ローラ５６が収納用ガイドレール５４Ｌの支持立設部５４Ｌｃに乗り上げるとともに、第１ローラ５６が収納用ガイドレール５４Ｒの支持水平部５４Ｒｂに乗り上げる。そして、図１９に示すように、紙幣処理ユニット１０の移動とともに、紙幣収納部３２ａが収納用ガイドレール５４Ｌ（５４Ｒ）にガイドされ、ガイド傾斜部５４Ｂから一般部５４Ａへ乗り上げる。さらに、紙幣処理ユニット１０が移動するにつれて、紙幣収納部３２ｂから紙幣収納部３２ｅは、順次、それらの第１ローラ５６がガイド傾斜部５４Ｂから一般部５４Ａへ移動することで持ち上げられ、接続機構４５の搬送路に向かうようにセットされ、図１７、図１６、図１５の状態を経て、図１４の収納位置になる。このとき、図１０に示すように、紙幣収納部３２は、第１ローラ５６が位置決め機構５５に達したときに位置決めされる。そして、図３に示すように、接続機構４５を接続モードにすることで、紙幣処理装置１が駆動可能な状態になる。 Further, when the first roller 56 reaches the storage guide rail 54L (54R), as shown in FIG. 7H, one of the first rollers 56 rides on the support standing portion 54Lc of the storage guide rail 54L, and One roller 56 rides on the support horizontal portion 54Rb of the storage guide rail 54R. And as shown in FIG. 19, with the movement of the banknote processing unit 10, the banknote storage part 32a is guided by the storage guide rail 54L (54R) and rides on the general part 54A from the guide inclined part 54B. Furthermore, as the banknote processing unit 10 moves, the banknote storage part 32b to the banknote storage part 32e are lifted by sequentially moving the first rollers 56 from the guide inclined part 54B to the general part 54A, and the connection mechanism 45 is moved. 14 and the storage position shown in FIG. 14 after passing through the states shown in FIGS. At this time, as shown in FIG. 10, the bill storage part 32 is positioned when the first roller 56 reaches the positioning mechanism 55. And as shown in FIG. 3, the banknote processing apparatus 1 will be in the state which can drive by setting the connection mechanism 45 to a connection mode.
（ｂ）　紙幣収納ユニット３０の動作
（ｂ）－１　紙幣収納ユニット３０の引き出し動作
　紙幣処理ユニット１０を引き出すには、紙幣収納ユニット３０と同様に、接続機構４５を非接続モードに、ロック機構６０を非ロック位置にそれぞれ設定する。そして、図２０に示すように、紙幣収納ユニット３０の把手３１ａ（図５参照）を手で掴んで引くと、紙幣収納ユニット３０は、矢印方向へ移動する。このとき、図１０および図１１に示すように、位置決め部５５ａ～５５ｅに位置決めされている５個の第１ローラ５６のうち、３個の第１ローラ５６は、動作初期から位置決め部５５ｂ～５５ｄの傾斜面５５ｓを上っていき、上り終わった後に、他の２個の第１ローラ５６が位置決め部５５ａ，５５ｅから脱出する。よって、５個の第１ローラ５６は、位置決め機構５５から同時に脱出しないから、動作初期時における負荷（操作力）を低減することができる。 (B) Operation of the bill storage unit 30 (b) -1 Pull-out operation of the bill storage unit 30 In order to pull out the bill processing unit 10, the connection mechanism 45 is set to the non-connection mode as in the bill storage unit 30, and the lock mechanism 60 is pulled out. Are set to the unlocked position. And as shown in FIG. 20, when the handle 31a (refer FIG. 5) of the banknote storage unit 30 is grasped by hand and pulled, the banknote storage unit 30 will move to an arrow direction. At this time, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, among the five first rollers 56 positioned by the positioning portions 55a to 55e, the three first rollers 56 are positioned from the initial operation to the positioning portions 55b to 55d. The other two first rollers 56 escape from the positioning portions 55a and 55e after finishing up the inclined surface 55s. Therefore, since the five first rollers 56 do not escape from the positioning mechanism 55 at the same time, the load (operation force) at the initial operation can be reduced.
　図２０に示すように、紙幣収納ユニット３０が引き出され、第１ローラ５６がガイド傾斜部５４Ｂにガイドされると、紙幣収納部３２ａは、ガイド傾斜部５４Ｂの傾斜に倣って徐々に下降し、収納体３１の底面に載置される待避位置へ移動する。さらに紙幣収納ユニット３０が図２１、図２２、図２３の状態を経て移動すると、紙幣収納部３２ｂ，３２ｃ，３２ｄ，３２ｅがガイド傾斜部５４Ｂに順次ガイドされ、待避位置に移動する。これにより、紙幣収納ユニット３０が引き出し位置になる。こうして紙幣収納ユニット３０を引き出すことで、各々の紙幣収納部３２の上方へ持ち上げることで、収納体３１から取り出すことができる。 As shown in FIG. 20, when the bill storage unit 30 is pulled out and the first roller 56 is guided by the guide inclined portion 54B, the bill storage portion 32a gradually descends following the inclination of the guide inclined portion 54B. It moves to a retracted position placed on the bottom surface of the storage body 31. Further, when the bill storage unit 30 moves through the states of FIGS. 21, 22, and 23, the bill storage portions 32b, 32c, 32d, and 32e are sequentially guided by the guide inclined portion 54B and moved to the retracted position. Thereby, the banknote storage unit 30 becomes a drawer position. By pulling out the banknote storage unit 30 in this way, it can be taken out from the storage body 31 by being lifted above each banknote storage section 32.
（ｂ）－２　紙幣収納ユニット３０の収納動作
　紙幣収納ユニット３０を筐体１０２に収納するには、図２３の状態から、紙幣収納ユニット３０に収納方向へ力を加える。このとき、図１３に示すように、紙幣収納部３２ｅが左右方向に位置ズレしているときには、水平方向ガイド機構５７により水平方向へ位置合わせされる。第１ローラ５６は、収納用ガイドレール５４Ｌ（５４Ｒ）に乗り上げて、紙幣収納ユニット３０の移動とともに、紙幣収納部３２ａが収納用ガイドレール５４Ｌ（５４Ｒ）にガイドされ、ガイド傾斜部５４Ｂから一般部５４Ａへ乗り上げる。さらに、紙幣収納ユニット３０が移動するにつれて、紙幣収納部３２ｄから紙幣収納部３２ａは、順次、それらの第１ローラ５６がガイド傾斜部５４Ｂから一般部５４Ａへ移動することで持ち上げられ、接続位置に移動して、図１４の収納位置になる。このとき、図１０に示すように、紙幣収納部３２は、第１ローラ５６が位置決め機構５５に達したときに位置決めされる。そして、図５に示すように、接続機構４５を接続モードにすることで、紙幣処理装置１が駆動可能な状態になる。 (B) -2 Storage operation of the banknote storage unit 30 In order to store the banknote storage unit 30 in the housing 102, a force is applied to the banknote storage unit 30 in the storage direction from the state shown in FIG. At this time, as shown in FIG. 13, when the banknote storage part 32e is displaced in the left-right direction, it is aligned in the horizontal direction by the horizontal direction guide mechanism 57. The first roller 56 rides on the storage guide rail 54L (54R), and with the movement of the banknote storage unit 30, the banknote storage portion 32a is guided by the storage guide rail 54L (54R), and from the guide inclined portion 54B to the general portion. Get on 54A. Furthermore, as the banknote storage unit 30 moves, the banknote storage part 32d to the banknote storage part 32a are lifted by sequentially moving their first rollers 56 from the guide inclined part 54B to the general part 54A, and are moved to the connection position. It moves to the storage position shown in FIG. At this time, as shown in FIG. 10, the bill storage part 32 is positioned when the first roller 56 reaches the positioning mechanism 55. And as shown in FIG. 5, the banknote processing apparatus 1 will be in the state which can drive by setting the connection mechanism 45 to a connection mode.
（５）　実施例の作用・効果１
　上記実施例の構成により、以下の作用・効果を奏する。
（５）－１　図６，図９、図１４ないし図１７に示すように、紙幣収納ユニット３０は、筐体１０２に対してユニットガイド機構５０の第１スライド機構１５１を介して引き出せば、連携ガイド機構５３が紙幣収納部３２を収納体３１に対して持ち上げた状態から、収納体３１に載置される待避位置へ移動する。このとき、紙幣収納部３２は、接続機構４５の搬送路から離れる方向へ移動するから、収納体３１から紙幣収納部３２の各々を容易に取り出すことができる。また、連携ガイド機構５３は、従来の技術で説明したような接続機構４５の搬送路から紙幣収納部３２を待避させるための複雑な構成が不要であり、構成が簡単になる。 (5) Action / effect 1 of the embodiment
According to the configuration of the above embodiment, the following operations and effects are achieved.
(5) -1 As shown in FIGS. 6, 9, 14 to 17, the banknote storage unit 30 cooperates if it is pulled out from the housing 102 via the first slide mechanism 151 of the unit guide mechanism 50. The guide mechanism 53 moves from the state where the banknote storage part 32 is lifted with respect to the storage body 31 to the retracted position placed on the storage body 31. At this time, since the banknote storage part 32 moves in the direction away from the conveyance path of the connection mechanism 45, each of the banknote storage parts 32 can be easily taken out from the storage body 31. Moreover, the cooperation guide mechanism 53 does not require a complicated configuration for retracting the banknote storage unit 32 from the conveyance path of the connection mechanism 45 as described in the related art, and the configuration is simplified.
（５）－２　図９および図２３に示すように、待避位置で収納されている紙幣収納部３２を収納体３１とともに収納位置に移動する際に、紙幣収納部３２が吊り下げ機構５４によって吊り下げられて、ガイド傾斜部５４Ｂに倣って接続機構４５（図９）の搬送路に向けて上方へ移動するから、紙幣収納部３２が接続機構４５の接続箇所との間に対して互いに干渉することなく、高い精度で連結することができる。よって、紙幣処理ユニット１０から紙幣収納ユニット３０へ紙幣を搬送する分岐接続機構４０の動作信頼性を高くすることができる。 (5) -2 As shown in FIGS. 9 and 23, when the banknote storage part 32 stored in the retreat position is moved to the storage position together with the storage body 31, the banknote storage part 32 is suspended by the suspension mechanism 54. The bill storage unit 32 is lowered and moves upward along the guide inclined portion 54 </ b> B toward the conveyance path of the connection mechanism 45 (FIG. 9), so that the bill storage portion 32 interferes with the connection portion of the connection mechanism 45. And can be connected with high accuracy. Therefore, the operation reliability of the branch connection mechanism 40 that conveys banknotes from the banknote processing unit 10 to the banknote storage unit 30 can be increased.
（５）－３　水平方向ガイド機構５７の作用効果
　図１３に示すように、連携ガイド機構５３の水平方向ガイド機構５７は、紙幣収納部３２が左右方向に位置ズレしているときに、第２ローラ５９が調整用ガイドレール５８の端部に当たって調整用ガイドレール５８のガイド溝５８ａ内に導かれる。これにより、紙幣収納部３２を水平方向へ確実にガイドすることができる。 (5) -3 Operational Effect of Horizontal Direction Guide Mechanism 57 As shown in FIG. 13, the horizontal direction guide mechanism 57 of the linkage guide mechanism 53 is the second when the banknote storage part 32 is displaced in the left-right direction. The roller 59 hits the end of the adjustment guide rail 58 and is guided into the guide groove 58 a of the adjustment guide rail 58. Thereby, the banknote accommodating part 32 can be reliably guided to a horizontal direction.
（５）－４　図１０および図１１に示すように、連携ガイド機構５３の位置決め機構５５は、凹部の位置決め部５５ａ～５５ｅにそれぞれ第１ローラ５６を落とすことで、紙幣収納部３２を位置決めするから、接続信頼性を高めることができる。しかも、位置決め部５５ａ～５５ｅは、凹部の水平方向の距離が異なっており、第１ローラ５６が位置決め部から同時に離脱しないから、動作初期時における負荷（操作力）を低減することができる。 (5) -4 As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the positioning mechanism 55 of the linkage guide mechanism 53 positions the banknote storage part 32 by dropping the first rollers 56 in the positioning parts 55a to 55e of the recesses, respectively. Therefore, connection reliability can be improved. In addition, the positioning portions 55a to 55e have different concave distances in the horizontal direction, and the first roller 56 does not separate from the positioning portion at the same time, so that the load (operating force) at the initial operation can be reduced.
（５）－５　吊り下げ機構５４により、紙幣処理ユニット１０の下部の収納用ガイドレール５４Ｌ上を紙幣収納部３２の上部の第１ローラ５６が移動することで、紙幣収納部３２を収納体３１から吊り上げた状態にて、紙幣収納部３２が移動方向へ移動する。このような吊り下げ機構５４は、一方のローラが収納用ガイドレール５４Ｌで幅方向へ位置決めされているので、ユニットガイド機構５０の距離調節部によってスライド用間隙Ｌｓ１，Ｌｓ２が吸収されるように移動しても、紙幣収納部３２に紙幣処理ユニット１０に対して位置決めされ、紙幣処理ユニット１０と紙幣収納部３２との間の紙幣の搬送路が位置ズレすることがなく、その搬送に支障がない。 (5) -5 The bill storage unit 32 is stored in the storage body 31 by the first roller 56 on the top of the bill storage unit 32 moving on the storage guide rail 54L in the lower part of the bill processing unit 10 by the suspension mechanism 54. The bill storage unit 32 moves in the moving direction in a state where the bill storage unit 32 is lifted from the bank. Since such a suspension mechanism 54 has one roller positioned in the width direction by the storage guide rail 54L, it moves so that the slide gaps Ls1 and Ls2 are absorbed by the distance adjusting portion of the unit guide mechanism 50. Even if it is positioned with respect to the banknote processing unit 10 in the banknote storage unit 32, the transfer path of the banknote between the banknote processing unit 10 and the banknote storage unit 32 is not displaced, and there is no hindrance to the transfer. .
（５）－６　上記実施例にかかる連携ガイド機構５３は、第１ローラ５６が収納用ガイドレール５４Ｒ，５４Ｌにガイドされることで（紙幣処理ユニット１０および接続ユニット２７Ｕが収納スペース１０２Ｓから引き出されるときに、紙幣収納部３２を接続ユニット２７Ｕから離れて待避位置へ移動させる。よって、紙幣処理ユニット１０の収納時に、接続ユニット２７Ｕの搬送路と紙幣収納部３２との接続信頼性を高め、一方、紙幣処理ユニット１０の引き出し時に、接続ユニット２７Ｕと紙幣収納部３２とを離す方向へ移動するから、引き出し動作を容易にする。このように、紙幣処理ユニット１０と一体に接続ユニット２７Ｕを装着しても、紙葉類処理ユニット（紙幣処理ユニット１０）の収納動作や引き出し動作に支障がない。 (5) -6 In the cooperation guide mechanism 53 according to the above embodiment, the first roller 56 is guided by the storage guide rails 54R and 54L (the banknote processing unit 10 and the connection unit 27U are pulled out from the storage space 102S. Sometimes, the banknote storage unit 32 is moved away from the connection unit 27U to the retracted position, so that the connection reliability between the conveyance path of the connection unit 27U and the banknote storage unit 32 is improved when the banknote processing unit 10 is stored. When the banknote processing unit 10 is pulled out, the connection unit 27U and the banknote storage unit 32 are moved away from each other, thereby facilitating the pulling out of the banknote processing unit 10. Thus, the connection unit 27U is mounted integrally with the banknote processing unit 10. However, there is no problem in the storing operation and the drawing operation of the paper sheet processing unit (banknote processing unit 10).

The link member 76 is connected to the first operating portion 72 via a connecting shaft 77a, and is connected to the first lock member 74 via a connecting shaft 77b.
Therefore, when the operating force is applied to the first operating portion 72 in the direction of the arrow and rotated about the rotation shaft 73a, the first lock member 74 is biased by the spring 78 about the rotation shaft 75a via the link member 76. By rotating against the locking pin 61 engaged with the engaging portion 74b, the locking pin 61 can be disengaged.
　第２ロック機構８０は、第２操作部８２と、第２ロック部材８４と、キッカー部材８６と、リンク部材８８と、スプリング８５ｂと、スプリング８５ｃとを備えている。第２操作部８２は、支持基板６２に回転軸８３ａを中心に回転可能に支持されており、利用者により操作されることで、第２ロック部材８４をロック位置から非ロック位置へ操作するための部材である。第２ロック部材８４は、ロック板本体８４ａを備え、紙幣収納ユニット３０側の支持基板６３に回転軸８５ａを中心に回転可能に支持され、スプリング８５ｂにより付勢されている。ロック板本体８４ａは、ロックピン６１により係合する係合位置と非係合になる非ロック位置とをとる係合部８４ｂと、その端部に斜め下方へ突出した押圧部８４ｃと、その他端に形成されたストッパ部８４ｄと、ストッパ部８４ｄに連続した傾斜面８４ｅとを備えている。キッカー部材８６は、リンク部材８８を介して、第２操作部８２に連結されている。キッカー部材８６は、棒状のキッカー本体８６ａと、キッカー本体８６ａの端部に形成されたキッカー部８６ｂとを備え、回転軸８７ａを中心に回転可能に支持されている。リンク部材８８は、第２操作部８２と連結軸８９ａを介して、また、連結軸８９ｂと回動可能に連結されることで、第２操作部８２とキッカー部材８６とを連結している。
　したがって、第２操作部８２を矢印方向に操作力を加えて、回転軸８３ａを中心に回転させると、リンク部材８８を介して、キッカー部材８６が回転軸８７ａを中心にスプリング８５ｂの付勢力に抗して回転する。キッカー部材８６のキッカー部８６ｂが第２ロック部材８４の押圧部８４ｃを押圧することで、第２ロック部材８４が回転し、係合部８４ｂに係合しているロックピン６１を非係合とすることができる。 The second lock mechanism 80 includes a second operation portion 82, a second lock member 84, a kicker member 86, a link member 88, a spring 85b, and a spring 85c. The second operation unit 82 is supported by the support substrate 62 so as to be rotatable about the rotation shaft 83a, and is operated by the user to operate the second lock member 84 from the locked position to the unlocked position. It is a member. The second lock member 84 includes a lock plate main body 84a, is supported by the support substrate 63 on the banknote storage unit 30 side so as to be rotatable about the rotation shaft 85a, and is biased by a spring 85b. The lock plate body 84a includes an engagement portion 84b that takes an engagement position engaged by the lock pin 61 and a non-lock position where the lock plate main body 84 is disengaged, a pressing portion 84c that protrudes obliquely downward at the end portion, and other ends. The stopper part 84d formed in the above and the inclined surface 84e continuous with the stopper part 84d are provided. The kicker member 86 is connected to the second operation portion 82 via a link member 88. The kicker member 86 includes a rod-shaped kicker main body 86a and a kicker portion 86b formed at an end of the kicker main body 86a, and is supported rotatably about a rotation shaft 87a. The link member 88 is connected to the second operating portion 82 and the kicker 86 by being rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 89b through the second operating portion 82 and the connecting shaft 89a.
Accordingly, when the second operating portion 82 is rotated about the rotation shaft 83a by applying an operation force in the direction of the arrow, the kicker member 86 is forced to the biasing force of the spring 85b about the rotation shaft 87a via the link member 88. Rotate against it. When the kicker portion 86b of the kicker member 86 presses the pressing portion 84c of the second lock member 84, the second lock member 84 rotates and the lock pin 61 engaged with the engagement portion 84b is disengaged. can do.
　連携ロック機構９０は、回動軸９３ａにより回転可能に支持された可動板９２と、スプリング９４とを備え、スプリング９４により付勢されている。可動板９２は、当接部９２ａと、穴で形成されたストッパ部９２ｂとを備えている。当接部９２ａは、第２ロック部材８４のストッパ部８４ｄが当たることで、第２ロック部材８４の回転を規制している。また、ストッパ部９２ｂは、ストッパ部７４ｃが挿入することで第１ロック部材７４の回転を規制している。 The cooperative lock mechanism 90 includes a movable plate 92 rotatably supported by a rotation shaft 93 a and a spring 94, and is urged by the spring 94. The movable plate 92 includes a contact portion 92a and a stopper portion 92b formed by a hole. The abutting portion 92a regulates the rotation of the second lock member 84 when the stopper portion 84d of the second lock member 84 hits. Further, the stopper portion 92b restricts the rotation of the first lock member 74 by the insertion of the stopper portion 74c.
（６）－２　ロック機構６０の動作
（ａ）　紙幣処理ユニット１０の引き出し動作
　いま、図２６に示すように、紙幣処理ユニット１０および紙幣収納ユニット３０が収納位置にあるとする。紙幣処理ユニット１０を引き出すには、図２７に示すように、第１ロック機構７０の第１操作部７２の端部を矢印方向に引くと、第１操作部７２が回転軸７３ａを中心に同方向へ回転する。第１操作部７２には、連結軸７７ａを介してリンク部材７６の一端が連結され、さらに、リンク部材７６の他端が連結軸７７ｂを介して、第１ロック部材７４に連結されているから、第１操作部７２の回転操作により、第１ロック部材７４が回転軸７５ａを中心に回転する。これにより、第１ロック部材７４の係合部７４ｂがロックピン６１から外れ、第１ロック機構７０がロック位置から非ロック位置へ移行する。 (6) -2 Operation of Locking Mechanism 60 (a) Pulling-out operation of banknote processing unit 10 Now, it is assumed that the banknote processing unit 10 and the banknote storage unit 30 are in the storage position as shown in FIG. In order to pull out the banknote processing unit 10, as shown in FIG. 27, when the end of the first operation portion 72 of the first lock mechanism 70 is pulled in the direction of the arrow, the first operation portion 72 is centered around the rotation shaft 73a. Rotate in the direction. One end of the link member 76 is connected to the first operating portion 72 via a connecting shaft 77a, and the other end of the link member 76 is connected to the first lock member 74 via a connecting shaft 77b. By the rotation operation of the first operation unit 72, the first lock member 74 rotates around the rotation shaft 75a. Thereby, the engaging part 74b of the 1st lock member 74 remove | deviates from the lock pin 61, and the 1st lock mechanism 70 transfers to a non-lock position from a locked position.
　図２８に示すように、紙幣処理ユニット１０を引き出すと、紙幣処理ユニット１０に装着された第１ロック機構７０および第２ロック機構８０の一部の部材も一体に移動する。このとき、第２ロック機構８０の第２ロック部材８４は、紙幣収納ユニット３０側の支持基板６３に固定されているから、係合部８４ｂがロックピン６１に係合しているロック位置を維持し、紙幣収納ユニット３０の引き出しが規制されている。その後、図２９に示すように、第１ロック機構７０の第１操作部７２から手を離すと、第１操作部７２がスプリング７８により回転軸７３ａを中心に回転して初期位置に戻る。 As shown in FIG. 28, when the banknote processing unit 10 is pulled out, some members of the first lock mechanism 70 and the second lock mechanism 80 attached to the banknote processing unit 10 also move together. At this time, since the second lock member 84 of the second lock mechanism 80 is fixed to the support substrate 63 on the banknote storage unit 30 side, the lock position where the engaging portion 84b is engaged with the lock pin 61 is maintained. However, the withdrawal of the banknote storage unit 30 is restricted. 29, when the hand is released from the first operation unit 72 of the first lock mechanism 70, the first operation unit 72 is rotated about the rotation shaft 73a by the spring 78 and returns to the initial position.
　このとき、図３０に示すように、第２ロック機構８０の第２操作部８２を回転操作して、リンク部材８８を介してキッカー部材８６を回転させても、キッカー部８６ｂが第２ロック部材８４の押圧部８４ｃに当たらないので、第２ロック部材８４が回転しない。よって、係合部８４ｂは、ロックピン６１から外れず、紙幣収納ユニット３０はロック位置を維持する。 At this time, as shown in FIG. 30, even if the second operation portion 82 of the second lock mechanism 80 is rotated and the kicker member 86 is rotated via the link member 88, the kicker portion 86 b remains in the second lock member. Since it does not hit the pressing portion 84c of 84, the second lock member 84 does not rotate. Therefore, the engaging part 84b does not come off from the lock pin 61, and the banknote storage unit 30 maintains the locked position.
　次に、図３１に示すように、紙幣処理ユニット１０を押し込んで引き出し位置から収納位置に戻すと、紙幣処理ユニット１０と一体の第１ロック機構７０も同方向へ移動する。そして、第１ロック部材７４の傾斜面７４ｄがロックピン６１に当たると、第１ロック部材７４がスプリング７８の付勢力に抗して回転軸７５ａを中心に回転して、係合部７４ｂがロックピン６１に係合する。その後、第１ロック部材７４がスプリング７８の付勢力により逆方向へ回転する。これにより、第１ロック機構７０は、ロック位置に移行し、紙幣処理ユニット１０の引き出しが規制される。 Next, as shown in FIG. 31, when the banknote processing unit 10 is pushed in and returned from the drawer position to the storage position, the first lock mechanism 70 integrated with the banknote processing unit 10 also moves in the same direction. When the inclined surface 74d of the first lock member 74 hits the lock pin 61, the first lock member 74 rotates about the rotation shaft 75a against the urging force of the spring 78, and the engaging portion 74b becomes the lock pin. 61 is engaged. Thereafter, the first lock member 74 is rotated in the reverse direction by the biasing force of the spring 78. Thereby, the 1st lock mechanism 70 transfers to a lock position, and drawer | drawing-out of the banknote processing unit 10 is controlled.
（ｂ）　紙幣収納ユニット３０の引き出し動作
　図２６に示すように、紙幣処理ユニット１０および紙幣収納ユニット３０が収納位置にある。この状態にて、紙幣処理ユニット１０を引き出すには、図３２に示すように、第２ロック機構８０の第２操作部８２の端部を矢印方向に引くと、第２操作部８２が回転軸８３ａを中心に同方向へ回転する。第２操作部８２には、リンク部材８８の一端部が連結軸８９ａに連結され、リンク部材８８の他端部が連結軸８９ｂに連結されているから、第２操作部８２の回転により、リンク部材８８を介して、キッカー部材８６が回転軸８７ａを中心に回転する。そして、キッカー部材８６のキッカー部８６ｂが第２ロック部材８４の押圧部８４ｃを押して、第２ロック部材８４が回転軸８７ａを中心に回転する。これにより、第２ロック部材８４の係合部８４ｂがロックピン６１から外れて、第２ロック機構８０がロック位置から非ロック位置へ移行する。 (B) Pull-out operation of the banknote storage unit 30 As shown in FIG. 26, the banknote processing unit 10 and the banknote storage unit 30 are in the storage position. In order to pull out the banknote processing unit 10 in this state, as shown in FIG. 32, when the end of the second operation portion 82 of the second lock mechanism 80 is pulled in the direction of the arrow, the second operation portion 82 is rotated. It rotates in the same direction around 83a. Since one end portion of the link member 88 is connected to the connecting shaft 89a and the other end portion of the link member 88 is connected to the connecting shaft 89b, the second operating portion 82 is linked by the rotation of the second operating portion 82. Through the member 88, the kicker member 86 rotates around the rotation shaft 87a. Then, the kicker portion 86b of the kicker member 86 presses the pressing portion 84c of the second lock member 84, and the second lock member 84 rotates around the rotation shaft 87a. Thereby, the engaging part 84b of the 2nd lock member 84 remove | deviates from the lock pin 61, and the 2nd lock mechanism 80 transfers to a non-lock position from a locked position.
　図３３に示すように、紙幣収納ユニット３０を引き出すと、紙幣収納ユニット３０に装着された第２ロック機構８０の第２ロック部材８４なども一体に移動する。このとき、紙幣処理ユニット１０と一体の第１ロック部材７４などの部品は、収納位置に留まる。そして、図３４に示すように、第２ロック機構８０の第２ロック部材８４がスプリング８５ｃのスプリング力により戻り、また、第２操作部８２がスプリング８５ｂにより元の位置に戻る。 33, when the banknote storage unit 30 is pulled out, the second lock member 84 of the second lock mechanism 80 attached to the banknote storage unit 30 also moves together. At this time, components such as the first lock member 74 integral with the banknote processing unit 10 remain in the storage position. As shown in FIG. 34, the second lock member 84 of the second lock mechanism 80 is returned by the spring force of the spring 85c, and the second operating portion 82 is returned to the original position by the spring 85b.
　図３５に示すように、連携ロック機構９０の可動板９２は、第２ロック部材８４のストッパ部８４ｄに当たっていたことで、その回動が規制されていた状態から、第２ロック部材８４が移動することから、スプリング９４のスプリング力で回動する。これにより、可動板９２のストッパ部９２ｂが第２ロック部材８４のストッパ部８４ｄに入り込み、第２ロック部材８４の回転が規制される。よって、第２ロック部材８４は、係合部８４ｂがロックピン６１に係合している。この状態にて、第１操作部７２を回動しても、ストッパ部７４ｃが可動板９２のストッパ部９２ｂに干渉しているから、第１ロック部材７４の回転が規制され、第１ロック機構７０はロック位置を維持する。そして、紙幣収納ユニット３０を収納位置に戻せば、第２ロック部材８４がロックピン６１に係合するロック位置に戻る。 As shown in FIG. 35, the movable plate 92 of the linkage lock mechanism 90 has come into contact with the stopper portion 84d of the second lock member 84, so that the second lock member 84 moves from a state where its rotation is restricted. Accordingly, the spring 94 is rotated by the spring force. Thereby, the stopper portion 92b of the movable plate 92 enters the stopper portion 84d of the second lock member 84, and the rotation of the second lock member 84 is restricted. Therefore, the engaging part 84 b of the second lock member 84 is engaged with the lock pin 61. In this state, even if the first operation portion 72 is rotated, the stopper portion 74c interferes with the stopper portion 92b of the movable plate 92, so that the rotation of the first lock member 74 is restricted, and the first lock mechanism 70 maintains the locked position. When the banknote storage unit 30 is returned to the storage position, the second lock member 84 returns to the lock position where the lock pin 61 is engaged.
（７）　実施例の作用・効果２
（７）－１　ロック機構６０は、紙幣処理ユニット１０および紙幣収納ユニット３０のいずれも収納位置にある場合において、紙幣処理ユニット１０および紙幣収納ユニット３０のいずれか一方しか、筐体１０２から引き出すことができないように機能している。すなわち、図３０に示すように、紙幣処理ユニット１０が引き出されているときには、第２ロック機構８０の第２操作部８２を回転操作しても、キッカー部材８６のキッカー部８６ｂが第２ロック部材８４の押圧部８４ｃに当たらず、第２ロック部材８４を回転させることができないから、第２ロック機構８０は、ロック位置を維持する。一方、図３５に示すように、紙幣収納ユニット３０が引き出されているときには、連携ロック機構９０の可動板９２のストッパ部９２ｂが第２ロック部材８４のストッパ部８４ｄに係合し、第１ロック部材７４の回転を規制しているから、第１ロック機構７０の第１操作部７２を回転操作しても、第１ロック部材７４を回転させることができず、第１ロック機構７０は、ロック位置を維持する。 (7) Action / effect 2 of the embodiment
(7) -1 The lock mechanism 60 pulls out only one of the banknote processing unit 10 and the banknote storage unit 30 from the housing 102 when both the banknote processing unit 10 and the banknote storage unit 30 are in the storage position. It is functioning so that it cannot. That is, as shown in FIG. 30, when the banknote processing unit 10 is pulled out, the kicker portion 86 b of the kicker member 86 is not moved even if the second operation portion 82 of the second lock mechanism 80 is rotated. Since the second locking member 84 cannot be rotated without hitting the pressing portion 84c of the second locking mechanism 84, the second locking mechanism 80 maintains the locked position. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 35, when the banknote storage unit 30 is pulled out, the stopper portion 92b of the movable plate 92 of the linkage lock mechanism 90 is engaged with the stopper portion 84d of the second lock member 84, and the first lock. Since the rotation of the member 74 is restricted, the first lock member 74 cannot be rotated even if the first operation portion 72 of the first lock mechanism 70 is rotated, and the first lock mechanism 70 is locked. Maintain position.
　こうした、ロック機構６０は、紙幣処理ユニット１０と紙幣収納ユニット３０とを同時に引き出し位置に移動できない構成としたことにより、以下の効果を奏する。紙幣処理ユニット１０と紙幣収納ユニット３０とを水平方向に配置したレールで移動するように構成した場合において、例えば、紙幣処理ユニット１０を引き出し位置にすると、紙幣処理ユニット１０が傾いて紙幣収納ユニット３０との間隔が狭くなりやすい。こうした状態においても、紙幣収納ユニット３０を円滑に引き出せるようにするには、紙幣処理ユニット１０が紙幣収納ユニット３０に干渉しないように、その間に大きな間隔を必要とする。大きな間隔は、紙幣収納ユニット３０を接続機構４５の接続箇所に移動させるのに、大きな移動距離を必要とするとともに、接続構成が複雑になる。しかし、上記実施例によれば、ロック機構６０は、紙幣処理ユニット１０または紙幣収納ユニット３０のいずれか一方しか引き出せないから、それらの間隔を大きくとる必要がなく、接続機構４５を接続するための構成を簡単とし、円滑な引き出し動作を保証することができる。 Such a lock mechanism 60 has the following effects because it is configured such that the bill processing unit 10 and the bill storage unit 30 cannot be moved to the drawer position at the same time. In the case where the banknote processing unit 10 and the banknote storage unit 30 are configured to move by rails arranged in the horizontal direction, for example, when the banknote processing unit 10 is set to the drawer position, the banknote processing unit 10 is tilted and the banknote storage unit 30 is moved. The interval between and tends to narrow. Even in such a state, in order to allow the banknote storage unit 30 to be pulled out smoothly, a large interval is required between them so that the banknote processing unit 10 does not interfere with the banknote storage unit 30. The large interval requires a large movement distance to move the bill storage unit 30 to the connection location of the connection mechanism 45, and the connection configuration is complicated. However, according to the above embodiment, the lock mechanism 60 can draw only one of the banknote processing unit 10 and the banknote storage unit 30, so there is no need to increase the interval between them, and the connection mechanism 45 can be connected. The structure can be simplified and a smooth pulling-out operation can be guaranteed.
（７）－２　第１および第２被ロック係合部材が第１および第２ロック機構で共通になり、構成を簡単にできる。 (7) -2 The first and second locked engagement members are common to the first and second locking mechanisms, and the configuration can be simplified.

This embodiment is characterized by the configuration of the first guided portion 162B. FIG. 36 is a partially broken perspective view showing a state before the bill processing unit 10B is assembled to the first guided portion 162B. The first guided portion 162B includes a guide base portion 162Ba and a guide piece 162Bb. A fastening hole 162Bh and a positioning hole 163B are formed in the guide base portion 162Ba. The fastening hole 162Bh is composed of a first hole 162Bh1, a second hole 162Bh2, and a third hole 162Bh3 that are different in vertical position and are arranged obliquely. The fixing member 162Bn is inserted into one of the first to third holes 162Bh1 to 162Bh3 and fastened to the fastening hole 167Bh. The positioning hole 163B is formed by one rectangular hole, and a first step portion 163Ba, a second step portion 163Bb, and a third step portion 163Bc are formed at the bottom of the hole. The first to third step portions 163Ba to 163Bc are formed in steps so as to correspond to the positions in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction corresponding to the first to third holes 162Bh1 to 163Bh3.
　紙幣処理ユニット１０Ｂに取り付けた第１連結機構１６４Ｂを、第１被ガイド部１６２Ｂに組み付ける作業について説明する。図示しない筐体に固定した第１ガイド部に第１被ガイド部１６２Ｂを組み付け、第１ガイド部から第１被ガイド部１６２Ｂを予め引き出しておく。また、第１連結機構１６４Ｂの連結部材１６５Ｂに位置決め部材１６３Ｂｎを予め固定しておく。そして、紙幣処理ユニット１０Ｂを持って、位置決め部材１６３Ｂｎを位置決め用孔１６３Ｂに挿入する。このとき、第１ないし第３段部１６３Ｂａ～１６３Ｂｃのいずれかに位置決め部材１６３Ｂｎを載置して、第１被ガイド部１６２Ｂに紙幣処理ユニット１０Ｂを仮置きする。そして、位置決め部材１６３Ｂｎを位置決め用孔１６３Ｂの第１ないし第３段部１６３Ｂａ～１６３Ｂｃのいずれかに載置しつつ、締結用穴１６２Ｂｈを締結用穴１６７Ｂｈに位置合わせして、第１ないし第３穴１６２Ｂｈ１～１６２Ｂｈ３のいずれかに固定部材１６２Ｂｎを挿入して締結用穴１６７Ｂｈにネジ込むことで連結部材１６５Ｂを第１被ガイド部１６２Ｂに固定する。この構成によれば、紙幣処理ユニット１０Ｂを、位置決め用孔１６３Ｂおよび位置決め部材１６３Ｂｎを介して一時的に第１被ガイド部１６２Ｂに仮置きするとともに、締結用穴１６２Ｂｈを締結用穴１６７Ｂｈに垂直方向および水平方向へ３段階の位置で調節することができるから、作業性に優れている。なお、位置決め用孔１６３Ｂの段数は、３段に限らず、位置合わせに応じて多数の段であってもよい。 The operation | work which assembles the 1st connection mechanism 164B attached to the banknote processing unit 10B to the 1st to-be-guided part 162B is demonstrated. The first guided portion 162B is assembled to a first guide portion fixed to a housing (not shown), and the first guided portion 162B is pulled out from the first guide portion in advance. Further, the positioning member 163Bn is fixed in advance to the connecting member 165B of the first connecting mechanism 164B. And holding the banknote processing unit 10B, the positioning member 163Bn is inserted into the positioning hole 163B. At this time, the positioning member 163Bn is placed on any of the first to third step portions 163Ba to 163Bc, and the banknote processing unit 10B is temporarily placed on the first guided portion 162B. Then, while the positioning member 163Bn is placed on any of the first to third step portions 163Ba to 163Bc of the positioning hole 163B, the fastening hole 162Bh is aligned with the fastening hole 167Bh, and the first to third The connecting member 165B is fixed to the first guided portion 162B by inserting the fixing member 162Bn into any of the holes 162Bh1 to 162Bh3 and screwing it into the fastening hole 167Bh. According to this configuration, the banknote handling unit 10B is temporarily placed in the first guided portion 162B via the positioning hole 163B and the positioning member 163Bn, and the fastening hole 162Bh is perpendicular to the fastening hole 167Bh. In addition, since it can be adjusted in three stages in the horizontal direction, it is excellent in workability.
