Claim 3
Dependent Claim 218 words
A bill receiving/dispensing machine for receiving/dispensing bills, comprising: a money deposit and payment port for receiving the bills therethrough into the bill receiving/dispensing machine and for paying the bills therethrough out of the bill receiving/dispensing machine, a bill discriminating section for discriminating the bills received through the money deposit and payment port; a bill convey path for the discriminated bills; and recycle boxes communicating with the bill convey path; wherein each of the recycle boxes comprises: a stacking/separating mechanism arranged to receive the bills to stack with upright position of the bills into the recycle box the bills received from the till convey path and to separate one of the bills from the stack of the bills in the recycle box to be fed to the bill convey path; and a support member enabling contacting upper and lower ends of the bill to be stacked in the recycle box, and of rotating to move the bill in a direction away from the stacking/separating mechanism when a number of the bills stacked in the recycle box by the stacking/separating mechanism is increased, wherein the support member is rotated to move the one of the bills in a direction toward the stacking/separating mechanism when separating the one of the bills from the stack of the bills in the recycle box.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 218 words
A bill receiving/dispensing machine for receiving/dispensing bills, comprising: a money deposit and payment port for receiving the bills therethrough into the bill receiving/dispensing machine and for paying the bills therethrough out of the bill receiving/dispensing machine, a bill discriminating section for discriminating the bills received through the money deposit and payment port; a bill convey path for the discriminated bills; and recycle boxes communicating with the bill convey path; wherein each of the recycle boxes comprises: a stacking/separating mechanism arranged to receive the bills to stack with upright position of the bills into the recycle box the bills received from the till convey path and to separate one of the bills from the stack of the bills in the recycle box to be fed to the bill convey path; and a support member enabling contacting upper and lower ends of the bill to be stacked in the recycle box, and of rotating to move the bill in a direction away from the stacking/separating mechanism when a number of the bills stacked in the recycle box by the stacking/separating mechanism is increased, wherein the support member is rotated to move the one of the bills in a direction toward the stacking/separating mechanism when separating the one of the bills from the stack of the bills in the recycle box.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 193 words
A recycle box to be mounted on a bill receiving/dispensing machine for receiving/dispensing bills, comprising: a stacking/separating mechanism arranged to receive the bills to stack the bills in the recycle box with upright position of the bills and to separate one of the bills from the other ones of the bills so that the one of the bills is transferred out of the recycle box, and a support member enabling contacting upper and lower ends of the bill to be stacked into the recycle box, and of rotating to move the bill in a direction away from the stacking/separating mechanism when a number of the bills stacked in the recycle box by the stacking/separating mechanism is increased, wherein the support member is rotated to move the one of the bills in a direction toward the stacking/separating mechanism when the separating the one of the bills from the stack of the bills in the recycle box, and the recycle box further comprises a push plate moving in the direction away from the stacking/separating mechanism when the bill is moved to be stacked in the recycle box between the push plate and the stacking/separating mechanism.
