Patent ID: 8496101

Claim:
A media retraction device comprising: a housing comprising: a collision portion having a collision surface facing an interior of the housing and slanted downward towards a bottom of the housing, the collision surface placed to initially come into contact with and bounce an uncollected medium inserted into the housing, an extended surface extending downward towards the floor surface of the housing, and a stepped connection portion between the extended surface and the collision surface, and a barrier placed within the housing and configured to separate an interior of the housing into first retraction space for stacking forged media and second retraction space for stacking uncollected media, wherein the barrier comprises: a stacking surface in contact with the bottom of the housing, the stacking surface slanted to stack the uncollected media in a slanted manner, and a protruded support surface extending upward from an upper end portion of the stacking surface, the protruded support surface configured to prevent interference between the uncollected medium dropping after bouncing from the collision surface and uncollected media previously stacked on the stacking surface.
