Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to reduce the size of an automatic teller machine (ATM), in which the height of a banknote deposit/withdrawal opening is in a lower position, while maintaining banknote storage capacity. A banknote handling device handles bank notes, and the banknote handling device has a first conveyance roller that conveys bank notes and that changes the conveyance direction of the banknotes between a conveyance path in which the banknotes are conveyed from the deposit/withdrawal unit along the vertical direction and a conveyance path in which the banknotes are conveyed in the horizontal direction. The distance between a delivery unit and a first conveyance unit is shorter than the length of the banknotes in the conveyance direction. Due to this configuration, it is possible to reduce the height of the banknote handling device and to reduce the size of the banknote handling device or the ATM.

Claim (Index 1):
An automatic teller machine having a banknote handling device that handles banknotes,\n wherein the banknote handling device has: a deposit/withdrawal opening for receiving insertion of banknotes from a user or for supplying banknotes to the user; a deposit/withdrawal unit having a delivery unit that delivers banknotes one by one from the deposit/withdrawal opening, and a stacking unit that stacks banknotes one by one into the deposit/withdrawal opening; a first conveyance path along which a banknote is conveyed between the delivery unit and a discrimination unit that performance discrimination on a banknote; a second conveyance path along which a banknote is conveyed between the discrimination unit and a first switching unit that switches a direction of banknote conveyance between a direction toward a temporary storage unit that stores temporarily banknotes and a direction toward the stacking unit; a third conveyance path along which a banknote is conveyed between the first switching unit and the stacking unit; and a first conveying roller that forms part of the first conveyance path and changes a conveyance direction of a banknote conveyed from the delivery unit, from a downward direction to a lateral direction at an acute angle, wherein the first conveying roller comes into contact with a banknote at the time when the delivery unit is in contact with the banknote.
