Claim Text:
1. A paper sheet processing device, comprising: a paper sheet processing unit configured to discriminate paper sheets that are inserted or dispensed; a paper sheet storage unit having a plurality of paper sheet storage parts configured to separate and store the discriminated paper sheets; a transport mechanism is configured to transport the paper sheets bidirectionally between the paper sheet processing unit and the paper sheet storage unit via a connection mechanism comprising a transport path that connects the paper sheet processing unit and the paper sheet storage unit; a housing having a storage space that stores the paper sheet processing unit, the paper sheet storage unit and the transport mechanism; and a unit guide mechanism that guides in order to draw out the paper sheet storage unit from the storage space and to store the paper sheet storage unit in the storage space, wherein the paper sheet storage unit has a storage body that stores the plurality of paper sheet storage parts, and the storage body is configured so that the paper sheet storage parts assume a retracted position in which the paper sheet storage parts are placed on the storage body and so that each of the paper sheet storage parts can also be moved upward in sequence from the retracted position and stored; and the unit guide mechanism comprises a first sliding mechanism that is arranged on the housing and the storage body, and that guides in a horizontal direction in order to draw out the paper sheet storage unit from the storage space and also to store the paper sheet storage unit in the storage space; and linked guide mechanisms having a storing guide part that is arranged in the horizontal direction inside the housing, and a guided part that is arranged on the paper sheet storage part and is guided by the storing guide part, wherein the storing guide part is configured so that, when guiding the guided part at a time of storing the paper sheet storage unit in the storage space, the storing guide part lifts up each of the paper sheet storage parts in sequence from the retracted position and sets the paper sheet storage parts on the transport path of the connection mechanism.
