ABSTRACT:
A bill alignment device for a bill handling machine includes a reference surface provided at one side portion of a bill transport passage in parallel thereto and along which bills are to be aligned, support shafts disposed to form a predetermined angle with the reference surface so that a cross point between an axis thereof and the one side portion of the bill transport passage is positioned upstream of a cross point between the axis thereof and the other side portion of the bill transport passage, a pair of transport rollers eccentrically mounted on each of the support shafts and spaced from each other, and a guide plate having concave portions facing the pairs of transport rollers and adapted to guide the bills on an upper surface thereof, the pair of transport rollers being mounted on each of the support shafts so that rotation positions where degree of eccentricity is maximum are offset from each other by 180 degrees, that a part of each of the pair of transport rollers is positioned in one of the concave portions when the rotation position where degree of eccentricity is maximum is directed downward and that the smallest clearance between a circumference of each of the pair of transport rollers and the upper surface of the guide plate exceeds the thickness of one bill when the rotation position where the degree of eccentricity is maximum is directed upward. According to the thus constituted bill alignment device, it is possible to align even bills having extremely low rigidity and apt to be bent along a reference surface, while the bills are being transported.
