3. The paper money accumulation device according to claim 1, wherein, in the holding unit, one end portion of the support member at a side of the input unit is fixed to the stage with a shaft, and the support member is rotated around the shaft and slips through the notched portion at the time of rising of the stage.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A peristaltic pump comprising a compressible tube which carries liquid being pumped through said tube, said tube extending around at least a 360\xb0 path over a plurality of rollers circumferentially spaced from each other and with respect to which said tube is stationary, said rollers successively engaging and compressing said tube to pump the liquid in a plurality of successive pulses along the tube.
2. The peristaltic pump according to claim 1 wherein the tube is wrapped helically around the rollers so that said tube is disposed in side by side relationship on at least one of said rollers and successive spaced regions of said tube are in compressive engagement with at least one of said rollers to produce two of said plurality of travelling pulses simultaneously.
3. The peristaltic pump according to claim 2 wherein at least three rollers comprise said plurality of rollers, and said pump further comprises a rotatable drive shaft, and said rollers being mounted in an assembly on said drive shaft for rotation about an axis of rotation of the drive shaft.
4. The peristaltic pump according to claim 3 wherein said rollers each have axes of rotation parallel to the axis of rotation of the drive shaft, said rollers being circumferentially spaced 120\xb0 apart around the axis of the drive shaft.
5. The peristaltic pump according to claim 3 wherein said assembly further comprises a frame with inlet and outlet ends of said tube being connected to said frame for holding the tube stationary and helically wrapped around and in engagement with said rollers.
6. The peristaltic pump according to claim 5 wherein said tube has sides joined to each other along edges between which extend arcuate sections of said tube, said edges defining flanges along outsides of said tube notches on the inside of said tube wherein the sides join together to form said flanges which guide the arcuate sections into sealing contact when said tube is compressed by the rollers.
7. A sprayer system comprising:
a trailer on which a tank for containing liquid to be sprayed is disposed, said trailer having wheels, each rotatable on a drive shaft, the trailer having a frame in which the drive shaft for each wheel is journalled; and
at least one of two peristaltic pumps which comprises:
a plurality of rollers connected in driven relationship to the shaft for rotation with said shaft and wheels, a compressible tube wrapped at least 360\xb0 around the plurality of rollers, and said tube being held stationary at inlet and outlet ends thereof wrapped around and engaging said rollers;
an inlet hose from said tank connected to the inlet end of said pump;
a spray head; and
an outlet hose from said pump connecting the tube of said hose to said spray head.
8. The sprayer system according to claim 7 wherein said tube is held stationary by couplings attached to the tube, said couplings being anchored to the frame, said couplings connecting said inlet and outlet ends of said pump to said inlet hose and said outlet hose.
9. The sprayer system according to claim 7 wherein said at least one of two peristaltic pumps compresses said compressible tube for carrying and pumping the liquid through said tube, said tube extending helically around at least a 360\xb0 path over said plurality of rollers which are circumferentially spaced from each other and with respect to which said tube is stationary, said rollers successively engaging and compressing said tube to pump the liquid in a plurality of successive pulses along the tube.
10. The sprayer system according to claim 9 wherein said tube is wrapped helically around the rollers so that said tube is disposed in side by side relationship on at least one of said rollers and successive spaced regions of said tube are in compressive engagement with at least one of said rollers to produce two of said plurality of travelling pulses simultaneously.
11. The sprayer system according to claim 10 wherein at least three rollers comprise said plurality of rollers, and said rollers being mounted in an assembly on said drive shaft for rotation about an axis of rotation of the drive shaft.
12. The sprayer system according to claim 7 further comprising a return hose to said tank, a two-way valve for selectively connecting said outlet hose to said return hose or to said spray head.
13. The system according to claim 10 wherein said plurality of rollers have axes of rotation parallel to an axis of rotation of the drive shaft, said rollers being circumferentially spaced 120\xb0 apart around the axis of the drive shaft.
14. The system according to claim 11 wherein said assembly further comprises a frame with inlet and outlet ends of said tube being connected to said frame for holding the tube stationary and helically wrapped around and in engagement with said rollers.
15. The system according to claim 14 wherein said tube has sides joined to each other along edges between which extend arcuate sections of said tube, said edges defining flanges along outsides of said tube notches on the inside of said tube wherein the sides join together to form said flanges which guide the arcuate sections into sealing contact when said tube is compressed by the rollers.
