Abstract:
A bank-note processing device comprising:a main body comprised of bank-note transporting means for guiding a bank-note inserted from a bank-note slot to a bank-note transfer passage, and bank-note identification means for judging the genuineness of the bank-note passed through the bank-note transporting means; and a box which constitutes a part of the bank-note transfer passage and is removably attached to the main body via attachment/removal means, characterized in that the removal means further comprises: a guide groove which is formed on both sides of the inner surface of the main body; a guide protrusion which is formed on both side faces of the box and is guided into the guide groove; a guide protrusion escape hole which is formed just before the end of the guide groove directed to the upper part of the guide groove; and a guide protrusion support hole, which is formed on both side faces of the main body and at the end of the guide groove, where the box is slidably attached to the main body when the guide protrusions are inserted into the guide grooves via the guide protrusion escape holes, and is rotatably supported from the main body when the guide protrusions are inserted into the guide protrusion support holes, so that the box can be separated from the main body by escaping the guide protrusions from the guide grooves via the protrusion escape holes.
