Abstract:
An automatic bill storage device for storing bills of different widths or sizes, includes a bill loading device for receiving a bill and positioning it at an initial storage position. A bill contact device can then engage the bill at the initial storage position and translate the bill to other side of a restraining device to a storage location that is biased by a movable plate. A contact member can contact an intermediate portion of the bill and translate the bill by a moving contact that extends from the intermediate portion of the bill towards one end of the bill as the bill is moved towards the storage location. This looping movement of contact can accommodate bills of different width in a compact configuration and can permit an initial bending of the bills from the initial storage position to aligning the bills so that they are straightened so that they can be stored in a stacked array in an efficient and compact manner.

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
       Field of the Invention  
         [0001]    The present invention is related to an automatic bill storage device which stores accommodated bills and more specifically to an automatic bill storage device in which a bill is contacted by a pair of storing bars which move in a loop-like motion within and outside the safe to move the bill into storage.  
         DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART  
         [0002]    In this specification, “bill” is a generic term which may include a banknote, folding money, a script, a check a security bond, a coupon or a ticket, or any other elongated flexible members which are to be stored in a stacked arrangement.  
           [0003]    An example of the prior art for an automatic bill storage device for storing money in a safe can be found in the Japanese patent publication 8-109354. In this prior art, a receiving bill is held in a safe by posts which are fixed to a pair of rotating disks which rotate in opposite directions from each other. This prior art is relatively inexpensive because of its simple structure. However, it requires a large space because it can not hold bills in the rotating area of the posts. Other examples of prior art can be found in U.S. Pat. No. 6,244,589 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,836,435 which discloses various configurations of stacking banknotes in a cash box.  
           [0004]    The industry is still seeking a compact and efficient bill storage apparatus.  
         SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
         [0005]    The present invention is directed to an automatic bill storage device for storing bills in a compact and efficient manner, and more particularly to an automatic bill storing device that includes a bill loading device for initially receiving a bill and positioning it at an initial storage position within the bill storage device. The bill can be initially validated to determine if it is genuine before it is translated to the initial storage position. The storage space for the bills can include a retainer member that is located on one side of the initial storage position. The bill can be moved, for example, by belts and/or rollers to the initial storage position and a bill contact device can engage the bill at the initial storage position and translate the bill to the other side of the retaining device to the storage location. The retaining device can have an aperture at its center for permitting the bill to move to the storage location. A spring biased support plate can be biased towards the initial storage position to provide a support for the stored bills.  
           [0006]    A contact member can contact an intermediate portion of the bill and translate the bill past the retaining member and if the retaining member has an aperture through the aperture with the contact member providing a moving contact to the surface of the bill as it extends from the intermediate portion of the bill towards one end of the bill as it is moved towards the storage location and extended in one plane. A second bill contact member can also be utilized to both push the bill towards the storage location and to maintain the position of the bill as the first contact member translates from an intermediate position towards one end of the bill. In one embodiment of the invention, a pair of contact members can be pivotally mounted to respectively contact intermediate portions of the bill and then to extend a pushing contact towards the opposite ends of the bill as it is moved towards the storage location. The respective contact members move in a loop-like motion as they translate along the length of the bill. The particular configuration of the components in the manner in which the components relatively move help facilitate a compact design to enable the automatic bill storage device to be utilized, for example, in vending machines. The bills can be stored in a manner in which they are not folded, but remain in a straight condition, and can be stored in a stacked array within a safe box, which is located on the other side of the aperture opening. Additionally, since the pair of contact members can contact the bill initially at an intermediate position as it is forced through either an aperture in a restraining device, or around the edge of a restraining device, the bills need not be precisely located, but can still be drawn safely into the storage location. In one embodiment, a holding bar can contact an intermediate or central point of the bill, while the contact members can extend in traverse directions from the holding bar for bending and moving the bill from the initial storage position to the storage location.  
           [0007]    An alternative device can have a holding member contacting a lower portion of the bill as the contact member forces the bill around a restraining member and again extends traverse to the movement of the bill towards one end of the bill on the other side of the restraining member.

Driving device  40  is located at a storing space which is between safe  11  and outer case  10 . Lid  60  is detachable to the outer case  10  and covers the transporting device  30   u . A receiving opening  13  passes through a bill from the accepting device  2  and is slit like in shape and is formed at upper-board  10   u  of the outer case  10 . An oblong elongated hole  14  is formed on side board  10   s  of the outer case  10 . Driven pin  41  of the driving device  40  passes through the elongated hole  14  and protrudes through the outside of outer case  10 .  
         [0036]    Driving piece  15  which is an L-shaped section is located at the vending machine side and is moveable in the horizontal direction which is guided by a guiding-rail (not shown). Pin  18  protrudes from crank  17  and is located at an elongated hole  16  which extends in the longitudinal direction, and can move along elongated hole  16 . Crank  17  is fixed at rotating shaft  19  which is rotated by an electric motor (not shown). Therefore, driving piece  15  moves backwards and forwards by one rotation of crank  17 . Driven pin  17  is moved to the right by driving piece  15  as shown in FIG. 2. Driven pin  41  is accompanied with drive piece  15 , because it is drawn by springs  98   a ,  98   b , and  98   d.    
         [0037]    As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a bill storing space  22 , which is box-like in shape and is opened at the bottom side, comprises a base box  20 , a first right wall  21   u  and second right wall  21 L. Base box  20  is box-like in shape and bottom side and right hand side have openings. First right wall  21   u  and second right all  2 L are channel-like in shape and are inserted at the right side of base box  20  and are fixed. First guide  12   f  is the upper surface  20   f  and is also bent at base box  20 . Also, second guide  12   b  is the upper surface  20   f  on the right hand side. A gap which is located between first right wall  21   u  and second right wall  21 L, is located at the middle of base box  20 . This gap is the bill receiving opening  23 . A rectangle-shaped pusher  124  is located in the bill storing space  22  and pushes the received bills to the desired location. Pusher  24  is fixed at the right hand end of a pair of coil springs  26   u  and  26 L which are fixed at the left hand wall  25 .  
         [0038]    Bill transporting device  30   u  is located adjacent first right wall  21   u . Shaft  30   a  and  30   b  rotate across first right wall  21   u . Pulleys  31 L,  31   c  and  31   r  are fixed to both ends of shaft  30   a  and to the middle of shaft  30   a . Gear  34  (shown in FIG. 7) is fixed to the end of shaft  30   a  and is driven by the driving source (not shown) of transporting device  4  and is synchronized with transporting device  4 . Also, pulleys  32 L,  32   c , and  32   r  are fixed to both ends of shaft  30   b  and to the middle of shaft  30   b.    
         [0039]    Driving belt  311  is wound around pulleys  31 L and  32 L while driving belt  33   c  is wound around pulleys  31   c  and  32   c . Also, driving belt  33   r  is wound around pulleys  31   r  and  32   r . The surfaces of driving belt  31 L,  31   c  and  31   r  are positioned at a predetermined distance from first right side wall  21   u  and are parallel. As shown in FIG. 6, the lower section of the first right side wall  21   u  is semicircle-like in shape in order to permit the bills to be guided smoothly. Second right side wall  21 L is located slightly to the left from first right side wall  21   u , and they are parallel. The upper section of second right side wall  21 L is semicircle-like in shape. Therefore, the bills are guided smoothly. The lower end of the bills which are send downwards by the bill transporting device  30   u  do not become jammed as the upper end of second right side wall  21 L, and the second right side wall  21 L are shifted for the first right side wall  21   u  to the upper section of the second right side wall  21 L which is semicircle-like in shape.  
         [0040]    Next, the pushing device  30   w  of bill transporting device  30   u  is explained by referring to FIGS. 8 and 9. Elongated holes  35   u  and  35   w , lying grooves  35   v  and  35   w  and round holes  35   x  and  35   y  are perforated at vertical walls  35   a  and  35   b  of fixed guide  35  which is channel-like in shape. Elongated holes  35   u  and  35   w  are extended in the vertical direction and are located at the lower section. Lying grooves  35   v  and  35   w  are extended to be level and are located at the middle section. Round holes  35   x  and  35   y  are located at the upper section. Lying grooves  35   w  and round hole  35   y  are perforated at vertical wall  35   b  from lying grooves  35   v  and round hole  35   x.    
         [0041]    Sliding piece  39  is channel-like in shape and can slide along the fixed guide  35 . Slanting surfaces  39   c  and  39   d  are formed at vertical walls  39   a  and  39   b  at the top of sliding piece  39 . Elongated holes  39   u  and  39 L which are elongated in the vertical direction are perforated at the upper section of vertical walls  39   a  and  39   b . Slanting holes  39   v  and  39   w  are perforated at the middle section of vertical walls  39   a  and  39   b . Round holes  39   x  and  39   y  are perforated at the lower section of vertical walls  39   a  and  39   b.    
         [0042]    Rollers  36 L,  36   c  and  36   r  are located at pulleys  31 L,  31   c  and  31   r . Also, rollers  37 L,  37   c  and  37   r  are located at pulleys  32 L,  32   c  and  32   r . Rollers  36 L and  37 L are rotatable and attached at the upper and lower ends of leaf spring  38 L. Rollers  36   c  and  37   c  are rotatable and attached at the upper and lower ends of leaf spring  38   c  which is the same shape as leaf spring  38 L. Rollers  36   r  and  37   r  are rotatable and attached at the upper and lower ends of leaf spring  38   r  which is the same shape as leaf spring  38 L.  
         [0043]    Pin  17  goes through penetration holes  38   h  at the middle of leaf springs  38 L,  38   c , and  38   r . The end of pin  17  passes through lying grooves  35   v  and  35   w , fixed guide  35  and slanting-elongated holes  39   v  and  39   w . Therefore, pin  17  can move in lying grooves  35   v  and  35   w  of fixed guide  35  because it is pushed up and down by slanting elongated holes  39   u  and  39 L. Pin pu, which is fixed at first right hand wall  21   u , passes through elongated holes  39   u  and  39 L of sliding piece  39  and round holes  35   x  and  35   y  of fixed guide  35 . The middle of pin pL, which is fixed at first right hand side wall  21   u , is inserted into round holes  39   x  and  39   y  and is fixed. Also, the end of pin pL is inserted at elongated holes  35   u  and  35 L of fixed guide  35 . Therefore, sliding piece  39  can move up and down by elongated holes  39   u ,  39 L,  35   u ,  35 L and pin pL.  
         [0044]    Sliding piece  39  is pulled upwards by spring  19  which is hooked to hole  39   h  and pin pu. Therefore, if sliding piece  39  moves into the bill storing space  22  by driving frame  41   f , the sliding piece  39  is pushed in bill storing space  22  as shown in FIG. 8. Also, pin  17  moves toward the right by contact with slanting elongated holes  39   v  and  39   w  as shown in FIG. 8. At this point, rollers  36 L,  36   c ,  36   r ,  37 L,  37   c  and  37   r  have contact with belts  33 L,  33   c , and  33   r . If the bill is inserted into the opening of the vending machine, the bill is drawn in by rollers  36 L,  36   c ,  36   r  and belts  33 L,  33   c ,  33   r . If driving flame  41   f  moves to the left as shown in FIG. 8 and sliding piece  39  moves upwards, pin  17  moves towards the right by slanting elongated holes  39   v  and  39   w . Therefore, rollers  36 L,  36   c ,  36   r ,  37   l ,  37   c , and  37   c  are pushed to the left from belts  33 L,  33   c , and  33   r  or they are slightly pushed by belts  33 L,  33   c , and  33   r . In this case, the bill can be drawn between rollers  36 L,  36   c ,  36   r ,  37 L,  37   c ,  37   r  and belts  33 L,  33   c ,  33   r.    
         [0045]    Bill transporting device  30   u  has the function of transporting the bills towards a predetermined direction and when the bills are drawn in the bill storing space  22 , the bills are released from rollers  36 L,  36   c ,  36   r ,  37 L,  37   c ,  37   r  and belts  33 L,  33   c ,  33   r . Therefore, bill transporting device  30   u  could also be changed to rollers from belts. Also, the bill transporting device, which is the same structure for bill transporting device  30   u , can be located at second right hand wall  21 L. Bill transporting device  30   u  and second right hand side wall  21 L are covered by rectangle-shaped lid  60  which is detachable from the outside case  10 .

As shown in FIG. 3, safe  11  is covered by driving frame  41   f  which is channel-like in shape at holding space  12 . Roller  41   fa ,  41   fb ,  41   fc , and  41   fd  are rotatable and attached at both sides of the lower section of driving frame  41   f . Rollers  41   fa  and  41   fb  roll on first guide  12   f . Rollers  41   fc  and  41   fd  roll on second guide  12   b . Rollers  41   fe ,  41   fg ,  41   fh , and  41   fi  are rotatable and are attached at the upper sections of driving frame  41   f . Rollers  41   fe ,  41   fg ,  41   fh , and  41   fi  are guided by the inner surface of outside case  10 . Driven pin  41  is fixed at the middle of driving frame  41   f  The driving frame  41   f  reciprocates towards the side direction by driving piece  15  on the outside of safe  11 . Pins  94   u  and  94 L are fixed at the upper section and at the lower section of the inner surface of driving frame  41   f . Pins  95   u  and  95 L are fixed at the upper section and at the lower section of the inner surface of driving frame  41   f  as shown in FIG. 6. Pins  96   u  and  96 L are fixed at front wall  20   f  and pins  97   u  and  97 L are fixed at back wall  20   b  as shown in FIG. 6.  
         [0047]    Spring  98   a  is hooked between pin  94   u  and pin  96   u , spring  98   b  is hooked between pin  94 L and pin  96 L, spring  98   c  is hooked between pin  95   u  and pin  97   u  and spring  98   d  is hooked between pin  95 L and pin  97 L. Driving frame  41   f  is pulled towards the right (shown in FIG. 3) by the springs. Driving frame  41   f  is stopped by the inner wall of outside case  10  and is located at a predetermined position. Also, first cam groove  42   u  and second cam groove  42 L are located at driving frame  41   f . First cam groove  42   u  consist of first level section  43   u  which is located at the middle of safe  11  and which is extended towards the moving direction of driving frame  41   f , and first slant section  44   u  which slants towards the upper wall of safe  11 . Second cam groove  42 L consists of second level section  43 L, which is parallel to first level section  43   u , and first slant section  44   u , which slants towards the upper wall of safe  11 .  
         [0048]    As shown in FIG. 4, first slide base  45   u  and second slide base  45 L, which make up a pair, pins  46   u  and  46 L, which penetrate from slide bases  45   u  or  45 L, first lever  47   u  and second lever  47 L are pivoted by pins  46   u  and  46 L between safe  11  and driving frame  41   f  (not shown) and slide base  46  which can slide levelly outside of slide base  45   u  and  46 L. Guiding grooves  48 L and  48   r , which correspond to first sliding base  45   u  are located at front wall  20   f  of safe  11  and are moveable in the vertical direction and are parallel as shown in FIG. 5. Also, guiding grooves  59 L and  59   r , which correspond to second sliding base  45 L are located at front wall  20   f  of safe  11  and are movable in the vertical direction at front wall  20   f.    
         [0049]    The respective levers  47   u  and  47 L have contact bars  12   u  and  12 L that can contact an intermediate portion of a bill b at an initial storage or load position and can translate the bill to a storage location. During translation of the bill, the bars  12   u  and  12 L can provide a moving contact to fold the bill and to move towards opposite ends of the bill to straighten the bill for storage in an array of bills.  
         [0050]    Guiding rollers  50   u  and  50   l , which are rotatable and attached at first sliding base  45   u , are movable within guiding groove  48 L. Therefore, the guiding grooves (not shown) are located at the surface of guiding rollers  50   u  and  50 L. Guiding rollers  50   u  and  50 L are movable and are inserted at guiding groove  48 L because the width which is the small diameter of guiding groove is more narrow than guiding groove  48 L and the width which is the large diameter of guiding groove is wider than guiding grooves  48 L. Guiding rollers  51   u  and  51 L which are rotatable and attached at first sliding base  45   u  are inserted at guiding groove  48   r . Also, guiding rollers  52   u  and  52 L, which are attached at second sliding base  45 L are inserted at guiding groove  59 L and guiding rollers  53   u  and  53 L which are attached at second sliding base  45 L are inserted at guiding grooves  59   r . These rollers  51   u ,  51 L,  52   u ,  52 L,  53   u ,  53 L are the same shape as guiding rollers  50   u  and  501 .  
         [0051]    First holding bar  12   u  is fixed at the end of first lever  47   u . Second holding bar  12 L is fixed at the end of second lever  47 L. First holding bar  12   u  and second holding bar  12 L are located parallel and are across from safe  11  and are extended near back wall  20   b . The left hand section of first lever  47   u  is sector-like in shape. First arc groove  55   u , which is centered at first pin  46   u , is formed at the left hand section of first lever  47   u . First stopper  56   u , which is pin-like in shape and which protrudes from first-sliding base  45   u , is inserted at first arc groove  55   u . First lever  47   u  is urged in the counterclockwise direction by springs (not shown) as shown in FIG. 4 and is kept at the predetermined position, because first stopper  56   u  has contact with the end of first arc groove  56   u . Therefore, first holding bar  12   u  corresponds to a bill receiving mouth  23  over a bill temporarily storing section  66  as shown in FIG. 10.  
         [0052]    Second arc groove  55 L is located at the left hand section of second lever  47 L. Second stopper  56 L, which protrudes from second sliding base  45 L is inserted at second arc groove  55 L. First lever  47 L is urged in the counterclockwise direction by springs (not shown) as shown in FIG. 4 and is kept at the predetermined position, because second stopper  56 L has contact with the end of second arc groove  55 L. Therefore, second holding bar  12 L corresponds to bill receiving mouth  23 . Also, bill temporarily storing section  66  is located between second holding bar  12 L and bill receiving mouth  23 . First pin  49   u  is fixed at first sliding base  45   u  and is inserted at first cam groove  45   u . Second pin  49 L is fixed at sliding base  45 L and is inserted at second cam groove  42 L. First pin  48   u  and second pin  48 L 2 , which protrude from the inner surface of driving frame  41   f , are inserted at first elongated hole  67   u  and second elongated hole  67 L, which are parallel at the upper and lower end section. First pin  48   u  and second pin  48 L 2  consist of two pins which are cylinder-like in shape and which are parallel, because sliding base  46  and  46   p  are parallel. The pins can be changed to a rectangle board.  
         [0053]    Springs  72   u  and  72 L are hooked between arms  70   u  and  70 L which are fixed at sliding base  46  and pins  71   u  and  71 L which are fixed at the inner surface of driving frame  41   f  Sliding base  46  is normally pulled towards the left (shown in FIG. 4) and is located at a stationary position because first pin  48   u  and second pin  48 L 2  are stopped by the ends of first elongated hole  67   u  and second elongated hole  67 L. Also, second sliding base  46   p , which has the same structure as sliding base  46  is located at back wall  20   b  side. The explanation of second sliding base  46   p  is omitted, but the same parts are attached to the same number.  
         [0054]    Holding bar or contact member  75  is fixed at sliding base  46  and second sliding base  46   p . Holding bar  75  is located between first storing bar  12   u  and second storing bar  12 L and is extended horizontally. Holding bar  75  is usually structured by two bars. However, the holding bar  75  can be made up of only one bar. Sliding base  46  and second sliding base  46   p  are not guided. Therefore, first pin  48   u , second pin  48 L 2  and holding bar  75  are flat because the position of sliding base  46  and second sliding base  46   p  are controlled. Forcing piece  76  is the right hand end of sliding base  46 , which is bent in a L-shape. If forcing piece  76  moves, it has contact with first lever  47   u  and second lever  47 L. T-shape guiding groove  80 , which is the lying T character shape, is located at front wall  20   f  of safe  11 . T-shaped guiding groove  80  consist of straight section  81   s  and bill guiding section  81   e . Straight section  81   s  is extended between guiding groove  48 L and  48   r , and between guiding groove  59 L and  59   r . Bill guiding section  81   e  continues to bill receiving mouth  23 . A restraining elongated hole  87 , in which holding bar  75  can move, is located at back wall  20   b . Restraining elongated hole  87  is level and is extended over the most carry forward position, as shown in FIG. 6 (pusher  24  can move to the right until it has contact with first bill holder  90   u  and second bill holder  90 L).  
         [0055]    First bill holder  90   u  is rotatable and attached to shaft  91   u  which is fixed at front wall  20   f  and back wall  20   b , as shown in FIG. 6. First bill holder  90   u  is ski board-like in shape and is extended towards safe  11 . Second bill holder  90 L is rotatable and attached to shaft  91 L which is fixed at front wall  20   f  and back wall  20   b . The shape of second bill holder  90 L is the same as first bill holder  90   u . The space which is located between the end of first bill holder  90   u  and the end of second bill holder  90 L is the same distance from bill receiving mouth  23 . The end of first bill holder  90   u  is located near first right hand wall  21   u . Therefore, it forms a slant surface which, with the lower section of first right hand wall  21   u  is semicircle-like in shape. The end of second bill holder  90 L is located near the second right hand wall  21 L. It has a slanted surface which is near the upper section of second right hand wall  21 L which is semicircle-like in shape. Bill storing space  99  is surrounded by pusher  24 , first bill holder  90   u , and second bill holder  90 L.  
         [0056]    The operation of the first embodiment is explained by referring to FIGS. 10, 11,  12 ,  13 , and  14 . The bills are not stored in safe  11  at the initial stage. First, a standby situation is explained by referring to FIG. 10. Driving frame  41   f  moves towards the right by springs  98   a ,  98   b ,  98   c , and  98   d , and the right end has contact with the inner surface of outer case  10  (not shown). As a result, it is located at a stationary position. In this situation, first pin  49   u  is located at the left end section of first level section  43   u  of first cam groove  42   u . Second pin  49 L is located at the left end section of second level section  43 L of second cam groove  42 L. Therefore, first sliding base  45   u  is located at the most lower position. Second sliding base  45 L is located at the most upper position. Also, sliding base  46  moves towards the right by springs  72   u  and  72 L. However, first pins  48   u  and  48 L 2 , which protrude from driving frame  41   f , have contact with the left ends of first elongated hole  67   u  and second elongated hole  67 L. As a result, it comes to a rest.  
         [0057]    Forcing piece  76  is situated away from first lever  47   u  and second lever  47 L. Therefore, first lever  47   u  pivots in the counterclockwise direction. As a result, first arc groove  55   u  has contact with first stopper  56   u  and is in the standby state. Second lever  47 L pivots in the clockwise direction. As a result, second groove  55 L has contact with second stopper  56 L and is also in the standby state. In the positions of first lever  47   u  and second lever  47 L, first holding bar  12   u  and second holding bar  12 L are located across the counter bill storing section  22  side. Pusher  24  moves towards the right by springs  26   u  and  26 L as shown in FIG. 10 and pushes towards first bill holder  90   u  and second bill holder  90 L with the predetermined force. Sliding piece  39  is pushed towards the bill storing section  22  by driving frame  41   f . Therefore, pin  17  moves towards the left by slanting elongated holes  39   v  and  39   w . Therefore, rollers  36 L,  36   c ,  36   r ,  37 L,  37   c , and  37   r  have contact with belts  33 L,  33   c , and  33   r  by leaf-springs  38 L,  38   c , and  38   r.    
         [0058]    Next, bill b is inserted into accepting device  2  and if the bill b is distinguished as genuine money, then bill b is transported to bill storing device  3  by transporting device  4 . Bill b is received from receiving opening  13  to transporting device  3  and is transported to bill temporary storing section  66  by bill transporting device  30   u  which is synchronized with transporting device  4  to provide an initial storage position for the received bill. In other words, shaft  30   a  is pivoted in the counterclockwise direction as shown in FIG. 6. As a result, bill b is drawn between belts  33 L,  33   c  and  33   r  and rollers  36 L,  36 C and  36   r  and moves downward. The lower section of bill b passes through at the side of bill receiving opening  23  and is located at the side of second right wall  21 L. Bill b is guided to a bill temporary storing section  66  which is located at the right of second right hand wall  21 L, because second right hand wall  21 L is shifted from first right hand wall  21   u , and the upper section of second right hand wall  21 L is semicircle-like in shape. When sensor s 1 , which is located in front of receiving opening  13 , detects bill b, it outputs a stop signal. Bill accepting device  2  stops at this location based on this stop signal. As a result, transporting device  4  and bill transporting device  30   u  are also stopped. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, bill b is temporarily stored at bill storing section  66  wherein the upper section of the bill is located and held at bill transporting device  30   u.    
         [0059]    Next, crank  17  pivots by one rotation in the clockwise direction at rotating shaft  19  by a motor (not shown). Pin  18  slides into elongated hole  16  towards the left by the front semi-rotation of crank  17 , and pushes driving piece  15  towards the left shown in FIG. 2. Therefore, driving piece  15  moves toward the left at slow speed. Driven pin  41  also moves in the same direction. Driving frame  41   f  moves towards the left with driven pin  41 . Sliding base  46  also moves in the same direction as driving frame  41   f . As this process occurs, first lever  47   u  and second lever  47 L are pivoted by forcing piece  76 . As a result, first lever  47   u  is pivoted in the clockwise direction and second lever  47 L is pivoted in the counterclockwise direction.  
         [0060]    As shown in FIG. 11, holding bar  75 , which moves with forcing piece  76 , has contact with bill b, which is located at the bill temporarily storing section  66 . Next, first lever  47   u  and second lever  47 L, which pivot, have contact with bill b. In this situation, first pin  49   u  and second pin  49 L are located at level section  43   u  and  43 L. As a result, first sliding base  45   u  and second sliding base  45 L are located at the position. As shown in FIG. 12, driving frame  41   f  moves towards the left. Therefore, holding bar  75 , first storing bar  12   u , and second storing bar  12 L come together at the temporarily storing section  66  and receiving opening  23  goes towards bill storing section  22 . As this process occurs, first lever  47   u  does not pivot, because the end of first elongated hole  55   u  has contact with first stopper  56   u . Also, second lever  47 L does not pivot, because the end of second elongated hole  55 L has contact with second stopper  56 L. Holding bar  75  stops because it has contact with the left hand end of elongated hole  87 . As a result, sliding base  46  does not move towards the left. In this state, holding bar  75  pushes bill b towards the spring biased pusher  24 . Therefore, the middle of bill b, which is located at the bill temporarily section  66 , is pushed from bill receiving opening into bill storing section  22  by holding bar  75 , first storing bar  12   u , and second storing bar  12 L, wherein the bill is bent into a u-shape. Holding bar  75 , first storing bar  12   u , and second storing bar  12 L, move from bill receiving opening  23  to straight section  81   s  of T-shaped guiding groove  80  through bill receiving section  81   e . In this situation, first pin  49   u  and second pin  49 L are located at the starting section of first slanting section  44   u  and second slanting section  44 L. Therefore, first sliding base  45   u  and second sliding base  45 L are located at the before position. Driving frame  41   f  slightly slides off from sliding piece  39 . As a result, sliding piece  39  is pulled upwards. Therefore, pin  17  moves towards the left by slanting elongated holes  39   v  and  39   w , as shown in FIG. 8. As a result, rollers  36 L,  36   c ,  36   r ,  37 L,  37   c , and  37   r  are slightly away from belts  33 L,  33   c , and  33   r . Also, driving frame  41   f  moves towards the left as shown in FIG. 13. First pin  49   u  is located at first slanting section  44   u  of first cam groove  42   u . Second pin  49 L is located at second slanting section  44 L of second cam groove  42 L. Therefore, first pin  49   u  is pushed up towards the upper section and second pin  49 L is pushed down towards the lower section with the accompaniment of driving frame  41   f  moves towards the left. First sliding base  45   u  is guided by guiding grooves  48 L and  48   r , and moves upwards. Also, second sliding base  45 L is guided by guiding grooves  59 L and  59   r , and moves downwards.  
         [0061]    Therefore, first storing bar  12   u  passes through and between the left hand edge of straight section  81   s  and first bill holding or retaining member  90   u , and it moves to the lower section of straight section  81   s . Second storing bar  12 L passes through between the left-hand edge of straight section  81   s  and second bill holder  90 L and moves to the end section of straight section  81   s . In this process of movement bill b is extended into a flat configuration and stands upright for storage as an array of bills and the bill is pushed towards pusher  24  by the first storing bar  12   u  and the second storing bar  12 L to be located at bill storing section  99 . In this process of movement, first lever  47   u  moves into an upper position and stops pivoting in the counterclockwise direction by first bill holder  90   u . As a result, when first storing bar  12   u  is moved away from the upper section of first bill holder  90   u , first lever  47   u  pivots in the counterclockwise direction and first storing bar  12   u  has contact with the right hand edge of straight section  81   s  of T-shaped guiding groove  80 . Also, second lever  47 L moves into a lower position and stops pivoting in the clockwise direction by second bill holder  90 L. When second storing bar  12 L is moved away from the lower section of second bill holder  90 L, second lever  47 L pivots in the clockwise direction, and second storing bar  12 L has contact with the right-hand edge of straight section  81   s  of T-shaped guiding groove  80 .  
         [0062]    Next, the further semi-rotation of crank  17  is explained. Driving piece  15  moves towards the right by the rotation of crank  17 . Therefore, driving frame  41   f  moves towards the right by springs  98   a ,  98   b ,  98   c , and  98   d . Together, driven pin  41  has contact with driving piece  15 . As shown in FIG. 14, when driving frame  41   f  moves towards the right, first slanting section  44   u  pushes down on first pin  49   u . Therefore, first sliding base  45   u  moves downwards. First, storing bar  12   u  is guided by the right-hand section of T-shaped guiding groove  80  and moves downwards because first sliding base  45   u  moves downwards. Afterwards, first storing bar  12   u  is pivoted in the counterclockwise direction until it is stopped by piece  76 .  
         [0063]    In this process of movement, first bill holder  90   u  slightly pivots by first storing bar  12   u  and first storing bar  12   u  passes through and between first bill holder  90   u  and first right hand wall  21   u . Also, second slanting section  44 L pushes up on second pin  49 L, and second sliding base  45 L moves towards the same direction. Second storing bar  12 L moves upwards by the upwards movement of second sliding base  45 L and is guided by the right-hand section of T-shaped guiding groove  80 . Afterwards, second lever  47 L pivots in the counterclockwise direction along entry section  81   e  until it is stopped by pushing piece  76  of sliding base  46 . In this process of movement, second bill holder  90 L slightly pivots by second storing bar  12 L and second storing bar  12 L passes through and between first bill holder  90 L and first right hand wall  21 L. Afterwards, driving frame  41   f  moves towards the right. Therefore, first lever  47   u  pivots in the counterclockwise direction and also moves towards the right side and is stopped by first stopper  56   u . Second lever  47 L pivots in the clockwise direction and is stopped by second stopper  56 L. As a result, it goes to the standby state. In this process of movement, driving frame  41   f  has contact with slanting surface  39   c ,  39   d , and they are pushed downwards. Pin  17  moves towards the right through slanting elongated hole  39   v  and  39   w , based on that sliding piece  39  moves downwards.  
         [0064]    As a result, rollers  36 L,  36   c ,  36   r ,  37 L,  37   c , and  37   r  are pushed to belts  33 L,  33   c , and  33   r  again. First storing bar  12   u  and second storing bar  12 L move along straight section  81   s  of T-shape guiding groove  80  in bill storing section  22 . As a result they move in an oblong shape. As a result of the configuration and arrangement of operative parts, the bill storing device  3  is compact in design.  
         [0065]    The structure of a second embodiment of a receiving storing device  201  of the present invention is explained by referring to FIG. 15. Bill receiving storing device  201  comprises a bill acceptor  202  which distinguishes valid or genuine bills, a bill storing device  203 , and a transporting device  204 . In other words, bill b, which is accepted from bill receiving slot  202   e , is distinguished by bill acceptor  202 . The valid bills are transported to bill storing device  203  by belt  204   b  of transporting device  204  and is stored in bill storing box  230 .

In this structure, if somebody grips the handle  203   h , it can move upwards, and operating piece  206   p  can be pushed up by the root of an index finger, and u grooves  206 Ls,  206 Rs are unengaged from pins  201 Ls and  201 Rs, and locking device  205  is unlocked. Bill receiving storing device  201  can be built into a vending machine.  
         [0068]    Outside cover  203   c , which is box-like in shape comprises outside case  210  which has an opening at the bottom and at the back, take out door  210   d  and lid  210   f . The bottom opening of outside case  20  is closed by bill taking door  210   d  which pivots on shaft  210 P. Bill taking door  210   d  is locked by locking device  210   k  to the outside case (shown in FIGS. 21 and 22). Lid  210   f  is attachable or detachable to the outside case  210  wherein pin  201   fp  which is fixed at lid  201   f  is engaged at L-shaped groove  210   c  of left-hand cover wall  210 L. The left hand structure has the same structure. Slot  213 , which is slit-like in shape receives the bills from transportation and is located at the upper cover wall  210   u  of outside case  210 . The elongated hole  214 L is perforated at left hand cover wall  210 L of outside case  210 . The elongated hole  214 R is perforated at right hand cover wall  210 R of outside case  210 . Driven pins  271 L and  271 R of storing driving device  270  protrude over the left hand cover wall  210 L and right hand cover wall  210 R which pass through elongated hole  214 L and  214 R.  
         [0069]    Next, driving device  220  of bill storing device  203  is explained (refer to FIGS. 16 and 17). Electric motor  221  has a reducer assembly. The reducer assembly has rotating shaft  222  which rotates by an electric motor  221  which is located in the triangular space and is surrounded by bill acceptor  202 , transporting device  204  and storing section  201   a . Cranks  223 L and  223 R, which are disk-like in shape, are fixed at the end of rotating shaft  222 . Driving pin  224 L and  224 R are fixed at cranks  223 L and  223 R, which can rotate.  
         [0070]    In the following explanation, each device is located at both sides of bill storing device  203 . Therefore, only the right hand device is explained. “L” are attached to left hand parts with same number. Operating piece  225  is fixed at rotating shaft  222 . Sensor  226  is fixed at bill receiving storing device  201 . Operating piece  225  and sensor  226  make up device  227  (shown in FIG. 16). Fixed shaft  228 R is fixed at the inner surface of right hand side cover  210 R of storing section  201   a . Driving lever  229 R, which is boomerang-like in shape is attached to fixed shaft  228 R. Driving pin  224 R is inserted to elongated hole  229 Rh at the upper section of driving lever  229 R. The lower section of driving lever  229 R has contact with driven pin  271 R. Driving lever  229 R is guided by the elongated hole which is perforated at guide  230 R and  231 R which are fixed at the inner surface of right hand side cover  201 R and it oscillates at the elongated hole. Driving lever  229 R moves in a reciprocal motion with one crank of crank  223 R. As a result, driven lever  271 R pivots in the clockwise direction, and in the reverse the counterclockwise direction by driving lever  229 R in FIG. 17.  
         [0071]    Next, the structure of inside of outside cover  203   c  is explained (referring to FIGS. 19, 20,  21 , and  22 ). Bill storing box  230 , bill transporting device  235 , storing driving device  270 , storing device  250 , and bill holding device  255  are located inside of outside cover  203   c . Bill storing box  230  comprises left hand wall  230 L, right hand wall  230 R, upper wall  230 U and back wall  230 B, and is box-like in shape and can be opened at either the left hand side or the right hand side. The under surface is located opposite to lid  210   d , and the left hand surface is located opposite to lid  210   f.    
         [0072]    Next, bill storing box  230  is explained. Bill storing box  230  is located outside of case  210  and back wall  230 B which is fixed at the bottom of outside case  201 , and left hand space  231 L, right hand space  231 R, and upper space  231 U are located between left hand wall  230 L, right hand wall  230 R, upper wall  230 U and outside case  210 . Storing driving device  270  is located at left hand space  231 L, right hand space  231 R and upper space  231 U. Storing section  232  is the space which is surrounded by left hand wall  230 L, right hand wall  230 R, upper wall  230 U and back wall  230 B. Pusher  234  is attached at the end of springs  233   a  and  233   b  which are fixed at back wall  230 B.  
         [0073]    Next, storing transporting device  235  is explained. Storing transporting device  235  includes first guide  236  and belts  239   a ,  239   b , and  239   c . First guide  236  is a plain board and is fixed at bill storing box  230  so that it extends towards the vertical direction below receiving slot  213 . Lower ends  236   e  of first guide  236  is bent towards back wall  230 B and is semicircle-like in shape. Roller  236   r  is located right above first guide  236 . Tooth pulleys  237   a ,  237   b , and  237   c  are fixed at shaft  237  which is parallel to roller  236   r  and has a predetermined space. Tooth pulleys  238   a ,  238   b , and  238   c  are fixed at shaft  238  which is located below shaft  237  and has a predetermined space. Belt  239   a  is positioned around and between pulleys  237   a  and  238   a . Also, belt  239   b  is positioned around and between pulleys  237   b  and  238   b  and belt  239   c  is positioned around and between pulleys  237   c  and  238   c . Roller  236   r  has contact with belts  239   a ,  239   b , and  239   c . First guide  236  has contact with belts  239   a ,  239   b , and  239   c . However, bill b, which is located between first guide  236  and belts  239   a ,  239   b , and  239   c , can be pulled without damage. Shaft  237  rotates and interlocks with transporting device  204  for receiving bill b which is sent from transporting device  204 . Storing transporting device  235  can be changed from first guide  236  to a belt or to a roller. In its essence, storing transporting device  235  has a function to transport the bills.  
         [0074]    Next, transporting guide device  240  is explained. Left hand guide piece  241 L and right hand guide piece  241 R which are L-like in shape are fixed at the left wall  230   r  and the right wall  230 L. In other words, right hand guiding piece  241 L and left hand guiding piece  241 R are located at a predetermined position. Right hand control surface  242 R of right hand supporting piece  241 R is parallel to first guide  236 , and left hand control surface  242 L of left hand supporting piece  241 L is also parallel. Right hand control surface  242 R and left hand control surface  242 L are located away from the pushing board  234  and are located at the other side of an extending line EL.  
         [0075]    If the bill oscillates and the lower end of the bill does not have contact with the pushing board  234 , the bill moves towards the predetermined direction. Bill receiving passage  245  is the bill passage of storing transporting device  235  and the space which is between transporting guide device  240  and holding board  256 . Bill b is stored at the space which is surrounded by pushing board  234 , end  236   e , right hand control surface  242 R and left hand control surface  242 L.  
         [0076]    Next, storing device  250  is explained. Shaft  251  is located above end  236   e  and is rotatable and is supported at right wall  230 R and at left wall  230 L. Arm  252 R is fixed at the end of shaft  251  which protrudes from right wall  230 R. Arm  252 L is fixed at the end of shaft  251  which protrudes from left wall  230 L. Arm  252 R and  252 L are in the same phase. Storing member  253  is fixed at the end of arm  252 L and arm  252 R. Storing member  253  is a bar which is round-like in shape. However, it could alternatively be a roller which is desirable, because it would not damage the bills and it does not fold the bills. Storing member  253  passes through an arc groove  245 R of right wall  230 R and an arc groove  254 L of left wall  230 L. Storing member  253  waits at the standby position on the right side of extending line EL, and also below pulleys  238   a ,  238   b ,  238   c . When storing member  253  stores a bill b, it pivots on shaft  251 , and is moved across from the extending line EL, and it moves along an arc shaped lower end  236   e . Afterwards, it returns to its standby position (see FIGS. 22, 24 and  25 ).  
         [0077]    Next, bill holding device  255  is explained. Holding board  256  comprises plane section  256   m  which is located parallel to pushing board  234  and slanting section  256   u  which extends from the plane section  256   m . Slanting section  256   u  is the upper section of plane section  256   m  which edges away from extending line EL so that it can guide the bill b smoothly as it is moved towards the pushing board  234 .  
         [0078]    Holding board  256  is supported by a parallel moving device  257  which has a parallel linkage. First bar  256   a  and second bar  256   b , which are aligned in rows sideways are fixed at a bracket  256   c  and are channel-like in shape are also fixed at a holding board  256 . First bar  256   a  and second bar  256   b  pass through arc-shaped elongated hole  230 Rh of right wall  230 R and arc-shaped elongated hole  230 Lh of left wall  230 L. First fixed pin  258   a  and second fixed pin  258   b  are fixed at right wall  230 R and they are parallel in the lateral direction. First rod  259   a  links first bar  256   a  and first fixed pin  258   a . Second rod  259   b  links second bar  256   b  and second fixed pin  258   b . Third fixed pin  258   c  and fourth fixed pin  258   d  are fixed at left wall  230 L and they are paralleled in the lateral direction. Third rod  259   c  links first bar  256   a  and third fixed pin  258   c . Fourth rod  259   d  links second bar  256   b  and fourth fixed pin  258   d . Pin  260 R is fixed at the side of first rod  259   a . Pin  260 L is fixed at the side of third rid  259   c  with opposite pin  260 R. Holder board  256  moves parallel in both the left and right direction by parallel linkage (shown in FIG. 22). Fixed pins  258   a  and  258   d  are located at the center of the swing angle of first rod  259   a  and fourth rod  259   d . The movement distance is limited and is permitted and only is an up and down direction. As a result, holder board  256  does not move bills b.  
         [0079]    Spring  2   sp   1 R is hooked up between pin  259   ap  which is fixed at first rod  259   a  and engaging piece  230   p R which is fixed at side wall  230 R Spring  2   sp   1 L is hooked up between pin  259   cp  which is fixed at third rod  259   c  and engaging piece  230   p L which is fixed at side wall  230 L. Holder board  256  is forced towards pushing board  234  by springs  2   sp   1 R and  2   sp   1 L. The standby position of holder board  256  is located at the opposite side of pushing board  234  from extending line EL. When holder board  256  holds bill b, it crosses extending line EL, and it passes through between first surface  242 L and second surface  242 R, and it pushes pushing board  234  to receive a new bill b. Bill holding device  255  comprises holding board  256  and pushing board  234 . Transporting guide device  240  is made up of guiding piece  241 L,  241 R and holding board  256 . Receiving slot  261  is located at storing transporting device  235  and bill holding device  255 . In other words, it is between the arc-shaped lower end  236   e  and the upper end of holding board  256 .  
         [0080]    Next, storing driving device  270  is explained. Lever  273 R can pivot shaft  272 R which is fixed at right wall  230 R. lever  273 L can pivot shaft  272 R which is fixed at left wall  230 L. Levers  273 R and  273 L are a part of lever  73  which is channel-like in shape. Lever  273 R moves at right hand space  231 R and lever  273 L moves at left hand space  231 L. Driven pin  271 R is fixed to the middle of lever  273 R. Driven pin  271 L is fixed to the middle of lever  273 L. Second spring  2   sp   2 R is hooked up between pin  273   p R which is the middle of lever  273 R and engaging piece  230 R p  side wall  230 R. Third spring  2   sp   2 L is hooked up between pin  273   pl  which is the middle of lever  273 L and engaging piece  230 L p  on side wall  230 L. Lever  273  pivots in the counterclockwise direction by springs  2   sp   2 R and  2   sp   2 L. The force of springs  2   sp   2 R and  2   sp   2 L are larger than the force of springs  2   sp   1 R and  2   sp   1 L. The force of springs  2   sp   1 R and  2   sp   1 L are larger than the force of springs  233   a  and  233   b.    
         [0081]    Next, parallel driving device  262  of parallel moving device  257  is explained. Elongated hole  274 R which is elongated in the vertical direction is located at the lower section of lever  273 R. Passage  275 R which is towards the right and is horn-like in shape continues to the upper section of elongated hole  274 R. Guiding groove  276 R comprises elongated hole  274 R and passage  275 R. Pin  260 R is located in guiding groove  276 R and can slide. When lever  243 R pivots in the clockwise direction, pin  260 R passes through passage  275 R and is away from guiding groove  276 R. Also, when lever  243 R pivots in the counterclockwise direction, pin  260  moves into guiding groove  276 R through passage  275 R (shown in FIG. 19). Elongated hole  274 L and passage  275 L are located at lever  276 L and opposed guiding groove  276 R. Pin  260 L is located at guiding groove  276 L and can slide. When lever  273 L pivots in the clockwise direction, pin  260 L passes through passage  275 L and moves away from guiding groove  276 L. Also, when lever  273 L pivots in the counterclockwise direction, pin  260 L moves into guiding groove  276 L and passes through passage  275 L. Therefore, when pins  260 R and  260 L are located at guiding grooves  276 R and  276 L, lever  273 R and pin  260 R make a pair. The same goes for lever  273 L and pin  260 L. In the standby situation, second bar  256   b  is located at the standby position which is located at the end section of arc-shaped elongated hole  230 Rh and  230 Lh.  
         [0082]    Next, storing member driving device  280  of storing member  253  is explained. Shaft  281  is mounted at right wall  230 R and left wall  230 L of the upper section of bill storing box  230 , and rotates. Gear  282  is fixed at the end of shaft  281  which protrudes from right wall  230 R. Rod  285  links between pin  283  which is fixed at the side of gear  282  and pin  284  which is fixed near shaft  282 R at the side of lever  273 R. Gear  282  engages to gear  286  which is fixed at shaft  251  (shown in FIG. 22). When levers  273 R and  273 L are located at the standby position, the engaged-position and the gear ratio are installed so that storing member  253  is located at the standby position which is below shaft  238 .  
         [0083]    The operation of this second embodiment of the invention is explained by referring to FIGS. 22, 24 and  25 . In the initial situation, bill b is not stored in bill storing box  230 . First, an operator uses handle  203   h  for installing the bill storing device  203 , and it is inserted into storing section  201   a . As a result, bill storing device is mounted in bill receiving storing device  201 . When bill storing device  203  moves into storing section  201   a , slanting surface  206 Rs and  206 Ls have contact with pins  201 Rs and  201 Ls. As a result, lock lever  206  pivots at shaft  3 Rs and  3 Ls. When u grooves  206 Rs and  206 Ls come face to face with pins  201 Rs and  201 Ls, locking lever  206  pivots by a spring (not shown). As a result, hooks  206 R and  206 L connects with pins  201 Rs and  201 Ls. In this situation, the exit of transporting device  204  comes face to face with the contact section which is between roller  236   r  and belts  239   a ,  239   b , and  239   c.    
         [0084]    Next, the standby situation is explained (referring to FIGS. 16 and 17). Driving pins  224 R and  224 L are located near to accepting device  202 . Driving levers  229 R and  229 L pivot in the counterclockwise direction (shown in FIG. 17). Driving pins  271 R and  271 L are slightly situated away from driving lever  229 R and  229 L.  
         [0085]    The standby state of bill storing device  203  is explained by referring to FIG. 20. Levers  273 R and  273 L pivot in the counterclockwise direction by spring  2   sp   2 R s  and  2   sp   2 L. Pins  260 R and  260 L of parallel moving device  257  are pushed to the right. As a result, levers  259   a ,  259   b ,  259   c , and  259   d  pivot in the clockwise direction. Second bar  256   b  is stopped by the end of arc elongated hole  230 Rh and  230 Lh. Holding board  256  is located at the opposite side of pushing board  234  to extending line EL. Shaft  251  pivots in the counterclockwise direction through pin  284 , rod  285 , pin  283 , gear  282  and  286 . As a result, storing member  253  is located away from pushing board  234  and is located at the other side of extending line EL.  
         [0086]    When bill b is inserted into bill receiving slot  202   e , it is sensed by a sensor (not shown) and accepting device  202  is operated. Therefore, accepting device  202  accepts a bill which is transported by the transporting device which moves in a direction towards transporting device  204 . Accepting device  202  drives transporting device  204 . Therefore, belt  204   b  drives and transports bill b to bill storing device  203 . Shaft  237  is driven by transporting device  204  and rotates in the counterclockwise direction (shown in FIG. 22). Belts  239   a ,  239   b , and  239   c  are circled by shaft  237  in the same direction. Roller  236 , which are contacted with belts  239   a ,  239   b , and  239   c  are rotated in the counterclockwise direction. As a result, bill storing transporting device  235  can pull bill b. If bill b is not distinguished as genuine money by accepting device  202 , transporting device  204  is rotated towards the opposite direction and it is returned to bill receiving slot  202   e . If bill b is distinguished as genuine money, it is transported from transporting device  204  to storing transporting device  235 . In storing transporting device  235 , bill b is sent downwards by belts  239   a ,  239   b ,  239   c  and roller  236 . Also, bill b is sent downwards by first guide  236  and belts  239   a ,  239   b ,  349   c . The lower end of bill b passes through the hold tight section which is between first guide  236  and belts  239   a ,  239   b ,  239   c . Afterwards, it moves downwards along extending line EL to bill receiving passage  245 . If the lower end strings sideways, it is guided by slanting section  256   u  of holding board  256 , left hand control surface  242 L and right hand control surface  242 R and it moves downwards. When bill b reaches midway of bill receiving passage  245 , it is either directly or indirectly detected by a sensor (not shown). As a result, storing transporting device  235  is stopped. In other words, bill b is stopped in the state that the upper section of bill b is held tight between first guide  236  and belts  239   a ,  239   b ,  239   c . As a result, bill b hangs from between first guide  236  and belts  239   a ,  239   b ,  239   c  at bill receiving passage  245  (shown in FIG. 22).  
         [0087]    When motor  221  rotates, cranks  223 R,  223 L, go into a 360 degree movement. Therefore, cranks  223 R,  223 L are rotated until the projection of operating piece  225  is fixed at rotating shaft  222  is re-detected by sensor  226 . Driving levers  229 R,  229 L are swung once by driving pings  224 R,  224 L. Therefore, driving levers  229 R and  229 L pivot in the clockwise direction and afterwards they pivot in the counterclockwise direction.  
         [0088]    Next, when driving levers  229 R and  229 L pivot in the clockwise direction from the position which is shown in FIG. 22. The operation of storing member  253  and bill holding device  255  is explained. Driven pins  271 R and  271 L are pushed towards the left in FIG. 22 by levers  273 R and  273 L. Levers  273 R and  273 L pivot in the clockwise direction. Pins  260 R and  260 L are pushed towards the left by levers  273 R and  273 L and move in the same direction. First rod  259   a  and third rod  259   c  pivot in the counterclockwise direction. Second rod  259   b  and fourth rod  259   d  pivot through bracket  256   c . Therefore, holding board  256  stays in the vertical position and moves toward the left. As a result, holding board  256  passes through right hand control surface  242 R and left hand control surface  242 L and has contact with pushing board  234  and pushes pushing board  244  towards the left. The end of bill b is bent into a u shape and passes through the end of right guiding piece  241 R and the end of left guiding piece  241 L and is transferred from bill receiving passage  245  to bill storing section  232 . In this process, levers  273 R and  273 L, pins  260 R and  260 L pass through passage  275 R and  275 L and move away from guiding grooves  276 R and  276 L. First rod  259   a  and third link  239   c  which move away from levers  273 R and  273 L pivot in the counterclockwise direction by first spring  2   sp   1 R and  2   sp   1 L, and are transferred until that first bar  256   a  is stopped by the ends of arc shaped elongated hole  230 R h  and  230 L h . Therefore, pushing board  234  is pushed towards the left by the holding board  256  which is forced by first spring  2   sp   1 R and  2   sp   1 L. The upper end of pushing board  234  is located at the back of the storing section  232  and has no contact with storing member  253 . At the same time, gear  282  rotates in the counterclockwise direction through pin  284 , rod  285 , and pin  283  by the rotation in the clockwise direction of levers  273 R and  273 L. The rotation of gear  82  is synchronized with the swing of levers  273 R and  273 L.  
         [0089]    Bill b is pushed to pushing board  234  by holding board  256  immediately after storing member  253  has contact with bill b (shown in FIG. 24). Shaft  251  goes into a 360 degree roll in the clockwise direction through gear  286  by gear  282 . Storing member  253  moves through arms  252 R and  252 L by the pivot motion of shaft  251 . In this situation, storing member  253  moves across extending line EL below shaft  238  and moves around arc shaped lower end  236   e  and goes towards storing section  246  and continues to move upwards (shown in FIG. 25). Storing member  253  moves from receiving slot  261  to bill storing section  246 . Therefore, bill b is pushed by storing member  253  and becomes u shaped and moves into storing section  246  along arc shaped lower end  236   e.    
         [0090]    The upper section of bill b is extended by the uphill movement of storing member  253  and is stored flat at storing section  246 . Bill b becomes flat by self-frigidity after it passes through pushing board  234  and arc shaped lower end  236   e . As a result, the uphill movement is minimal.  
         [0091]    The operation of storing member  253  and of bill holding device  256  is explained, when driving levers  229 R and  229 L pivot in the counterclockwise direction away from the position (shown in FIG. 23). Driving levers  229 R and  229 L also pivot in the counterclockwise direction. At the same time, levers  273 R and  273 L pivot in the same direction by second springs  2   sp   2 R and  2   sp   2 L. Therefore, gear  282  rotates in the clockwise direction and shaft  251  rotates in the counterclockwise direction through gear  286 . Storing member  253  moves downwards, and moves along arc shaped lower end  236   e , and goes across extending line EL, and returns to the standby position. When storing member  253  moves downwards, it has contact with bill b which is stored. However, it does not pull down bill b because pushing board  234  has enough space between storing member  253 . As a result, the friction force between pushing board  234  and storing member  253  is minimal. When lever  273 R and  273 L pivot in the counterclockwise direction, pins  260 R and  260 L move to passages  275 R and  275 L and move along elongated holes  274 R and  274 L. Holding board  256  moves towards the right and passes through between right hand control surface  274 R and left hand control surface  242 L, and moves across extending line EL, and is returned to the standby position. At the same time, pushing board  234  moves towards the right by springs  233   a  and  233   b . Therefore, bill b, which is stored is held by holding board  256  and pushing board  234 , and moves towards the right. However, pushing board  234  is stopped by right hand controller  242 R and left hand controller  242 L. Received bill b is held by pushing board  234 , right hand controller  242 R and left hand controller  242 L.  
         [0092]    In this second embodiment, bill storing device  203  is adjustable and can lie level to acceptance device  202 . In this case, right hand controller  242 R and left hand controller  242 L are located near or to storing transporting device  235 . As a result, the end of bill b does not escape from the route.  
         [0093]    It should be understood that terms such as “up”, “down”, “left”, and “right” are used to help provide an understanding of this invention and are not necessary to practice the invention. Therefore, the alignment of the bill storing device is not limited. For example, if the bill is equally extended, the holding bar is not used.  
         [0094]    Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various adaptations and modifications of the just described preferred embodiments can be configured without department from the scope and spirit of the invention. Therefore, it is to be understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced other than as specifically described herein.
