Image detector for bank notes
First Claim
1. An image detector for bank notes comprising:
- a first image detection sensor;
a first light emitting device which is arranged facing said first image detection sensor with a bank note transportation path therebetween, and which irradiates light of a plurality of different wavelengths ranges towards a bank note which is transported on said bank note transportation path, and detects light of said light which has transmitted through said bank note, with said first image detection sensor;
a second light emitting device which is provided on the same side of said bank note transportation path as said first image detection sensor, which irradiates light of a plurality of different wavelengths ranges towards a bank note which is transported on said bank note transportation path, and detects light of said light which is reflected from said bank note, with said first image detection sensor;
a second image detection sensor provided on an opposite side of said bank note transportation path to said first image detection sensor; and
a third light emitting device provided on the same side of said bank note transportation path as said second image detection sensor, which irradiates light of a plurality of different wavelength ranges towards a bank note transported on said bank note transportation path, and detects light of said light which is reflected from said bank note, with a second image detection image detection sensor.

Abstract
An object is to provide an image detector for bank notes which enables the cost to be lowered. Accordingly this has: a light emitting device 31 (31X) which is arranged facing an image detection sensor 24 (24X), and which irradiates light of a plurality of different wavelengths ranges towards a bank note on a bank note transportation path 12, and detects light of the light which has transmitted through the bank note with an image detection sensor 24 (24X); a light emitting device 27 (27X) which is provided on the same side as the image detection sensor 24 (24X), which irradiates light of a plurality of different wavelengths ranges towards a bank note S, and detects light of the light which is reflected from the bank note with the image detection sensor 24 (24X); an image detection sensor 24 (24Y) provided on the opposite side to the image detection sensor 24 (24X); and a third light emitting device 27 (27Y) provided on the same side as the second image detection sensor 24 (24Y), which irradiates light of a plurality of different wavelength ranges towards the bank note S, and detects light of the light which is reflected from the bank note S with the image detection image detection sensor 24 (24Y).
