    摘要: A paper sheet detection device includes: an optical sensor that includes a light-emitting portion that emits light, and a light-receiving portion that receives the emitted light; a storage portion that stores a first threshold value used for determining whether or not a paper sheet is present in a path of the emitted light, a target light-receiving level set as a target value of a level of the light received by the light-receiving portion in a state where the paper sheet is not present, and a second threshold value that is set to a value that is greater than the first threshold value and less than the target light-receiving level; an estimating portion that determines whether the level of the light received by the light-receiving portion is equal to or greater than the first threshold value and less than the second threshold value, and that estimates whether or not the paper sheet is present; and a light amount adjusting portion that adjusts an amount of the light emitted by the light-emitting portion so that the level of the light received by the light-receiving portion becomes the target light-receiving level in the state where the paper sheet is not present when the estimating portion estimates that the paper sheet is not present after the estimating portion determines that the level of the light received by the light-receiving portion is equal to or greater than the first threshold value and less than the second threshold value.

    摘要: A coin distribution mechanism for distributing coins into their denominations during conveyance is provided, which makes it possible to distribute two desired denominations of coins using a single gate member. A first gate member movable around a first axis is provided below a coin conveyance path. The first gate member is moved by a first position switching device among a default position where a gate is closed, a first switched position that allows a coin to drop through the gate to move in a first direction, or a second switched position that allows a coin to drop through the gate to move in a second direction. When a coin has a first (or second) denomination, the first gate member is moved to the first (or second) switched position. When a coin does not have the first and second denominations, the first gate member is located at the default position.

    摘要: A coin processing system comprises a rotatable disc including a resilient pad coupled thereto for imparting motion to the plurality of coins, the resilient pad including an outer peripheral edge, and a stationary sorting head. The stationary sorting head includes a lower surface forming a coin path for directing movement of each of the coins, a stripping area of the coin path including at least one stripping surface operable to retain at least one coin when overlapping another coin such that the other coin is separated from the at least one coin by the motion imparted by the rotatable disc, and a queuing area of the coin path that receives the plurality of coins from the stripping area, the queuing area including a beveled surface curving substantially parallel with the outer peripheral edge of the resilient pad to guide the coins in a single file configuration to a discrimination area.
