Abstract: A pair of engagement members 16 to be detachably engaged with a bill recognition device 20 is provided on a unit body 11 of a reader-writer unit 10, and the bill recognition device 20 is attached to the unit body 11 by engagement with the engagement members 16. Therefore, the bill recognition device 20 can be attached/detached without using any screws. For example, when the bill recognition device 20 is replaced, operations for detaching and attaching the bill recognition device 20 can be performed advantageously easily. In the replacement process, the bill recognition device 20 can be attached or detached while the unit body 11 is in the state of being mounted on an outer door 2. Thus, the drawback of the unit body 11 being dismounted from the outer door 2 when the screws are removed as in the conventional art is eliminated and the attachment/detachment operations are not complicated.

Abstract: The invention relates to an egg breaking apparatus and a method of feeding eggs to an egg breaking apparatus, where eggs are fed to a plurality of egg breaking devices by means of a feed conveyor. Each egg breaking device receives one egg at a time and all egg breaking devices are mounted on a common drive conveyor, where the egg breaking devices are moved in relation to the feed conveyor in a first direction following a substantially vertical first axis at the area of the feed conveyor. The feed conveyor feeds eggs to the egg breaking devices along a substantially horizontal second axis. When near a position at the feed conveyor, the egg breaking devices are tilted about a third axis, which is substantially perpendicular to the first and second axes, in a second direction substantially opposite to said first direction. In a preferred embodiment the egg breaking devices are brought back into their initial, untilted position before or during a period of emptying of the broken egg and after the yolk has left the eggshell upon breaking of the egg, the egg breaking device is preferably tilted downwards in relation to the initial, untilted position, preferably to an angle of approximately 45 degrees below a horizontal plane. During a period of emptying of the egg the egg breaking device may be moved in an uneven pattern, e.g. serrated or corrugated, pattern, causing a vibration of the egg breaking device. It is also preferred, that the egg breaking device performs a second tilting at the end of the period of emptying of the egg. Guiding rail may be provided for guiding the egg breaking devices along a particular track, each egg breaking device preferably being provided with a projecting member capable of interacting with the guiding rail(s).
