Abstract
In a device for validating and accumulating bills and coins for fixed and movable chute mechanisms forming therebetween a bill passage and magnetic heads provided above the bill passage for validating bills passing thereby, and head pressing rollers for pressing bills against the magnetic heads from the opposite side of the bill passage. A feature of this device is that, when a counterfeit bill is to be returned by reversing the travel of a bill conveying belt constituting one part of a fixed chute mechanism, a mechanism automatically operates to move each head pressing roller clear of the bill passage thereby to prevent jamming of the bill. Another feature is that the driving shafts respectively of the bill conveying belt and of a coin conveying belt are coaxially coupled by way of a one-way clutch, whereby when the bill conveying belt is driven in reverse dirction for rejection and return of a bill, the coin conveying belt is stopped thereby to prevent reverse conveying coins.
