The present invention achieves a low-cost method for taking out paper sheets, whereby it is possible to accurately take out the paper sheets (e.g., separator cards) stored in a paper sheet storage container one by one. In this method for taking out paper sheets, air is blown from the side or bottom of an unfolded paper sheet, thereby causing the upper surface of the paper sheet to be lifted. In this state, the top surface of the paper sheet is sucked by a suction mechanism (1), so that the paper sheet can be taken out with high precision.

The paper currency circulation device 1 comprises travel direction marks 310 that are formed along the travel direction of a detection tape 300 and that have a pattern to indicate a difference in the tape travel direction, and a sensor module 50 that detects the travel direction marks and outputs a detection signal accordingly. The paper currency circulation device 1 determines the tape travel direction (E1, E2) from a pattern signal corresponding to the tape travel direction acquired on the basis of the chronological variation of the detection signal and determines the direction in which the tape is wound on the drum from the tape travel direction and the drum rotational direction.
The present invention realizes, in a simple and inexpensive configuration, highly reliable separation work, while using a single motor, in order from the first paper sheet of paper sheets fed in an overlapped manner. The present invention is provided with: a feeding portion (20) that feeds paper sheets one by one from a paper sheet stack by use of a feeding roller (30); a separation portion (100) that performs separation work for paper sheets in an overlapped-fed state; and a drawing and conveyance portion (250) that draws and conveys a paper sheet (P1) which partially remains in the separation portion. The feeding portion is provided with a drive transmission delay mechanism (D) that delays the transmission of drive force by providing at least one relative rotation section (80) between the feeding roller and an upstream-side transmission member (60). The drive transmission delay mechanism is provided with a configuration in which the feeding roller and the upstream-side transmission member are able to perform bidirectional relative rotation between an initial positional relation and an end positional relation in the positional relations thereof, and in which drive force is not transmitted to the upstream-side transmission member (60) during a period until the end positional relation is reached from the initial positional relation, and drive force is transmitted after the end positional relation is reached.

The drive transmission delay mechanism is provided with a configuration in which a circumferential positional relation between the feeding roller and the upstream-side transmission member is such that relative rotations in a bidirectional manner are possible between an initial positional relation and an end positional relation, and in which drive force is not transmitted to the upstream-side transmission member 60 during a period from the end positional relation to the initial positional relation and drive force is transmitted after the end positional relation is reached.
The purpose of the invention is to correct the state of paper sheets inserted from various positions and angles to a normal transport state with no deformation due to contact with a side wall, while enabling continuous, non-intermittent transport. A drive-side unit (20) comprises: at least one drive roller (25) that is supported so as to rotate freely about an axis orthogonal to the proper paper sheet transport direction and to be able to move in the axial direction; an elastic biasing member (40) that elastically biases the drive roller in the axial direction; and a cam mechanism (50) that transmits the drive force from a drive source to the drive roller and that is actuated when an external force exceeding a prescribed value is applied to the transported paper sheet in a direction other than the proper transport direction by the drive roller, so as to change the position in the axial direction of the drive roller while opposing the elastic biasing force. A follower-side unit (100) comprises a follower roller that changes a transport grip that is between the drive roller and the paper sheet in accordance with the change in the position of the axial direction of the drive roller.
The purpose of the present invention is to prevent rejection of a subsequent paper sheet when the speed of counting of paper sheets is increased. A paper sheet handling system is provided with: a paper sheet differentiation device for differentiating paper sheets; and a paper sheet counting device for counting the paper sheets differentiated by the paper sheet differentiation device. Preprocess data in which specific signs that have been read are included in the order in which the paper sheets have been fed out are generated. At the point in time when the specific sign of one paper sheet is read, a feed-out count K of paper sheets that have already been fed out is stored. A batch count N is an integer larger than the feed-out count K. Each time the specific sign is read, the specific sign is checked against the preprocess data, and a Z-th paper sheet among paper sheets with the corresponding specific sign is specified as a batch prediction paper sheet. Specific signs from the batch prediction paper sheet to a K-th paper sheet previous thereto are extracted. When it is determined that any one of the specific signs from the batch prediction paper sheet to the K-th paper sheet previous thereto coincides with a read specific sign, the operation of a second feed-out unit is stopped.

PAPER SHEET LOADING DEVICE AND LOAD ADJUSTING METHOD
The present invention is able to reduce a load acting on a feeding roller and smoothly feed paper sheets with the addition of a simple configuration in the case where a very large load from a large number of paper sheets acts on the feeding roller and in the case where paper sheets of different sizes are mixed together and loaded. The present invention comprises: a paper sheet loading unit 5 having a bottom plate 10 and a front wall 20; a feeding roller 30 that contacts the bottom surface of a paper sheet that is bottommost in a stack of paper sheets and rotates, thereby feeding the paper sheet to outside the paper sheet loading unit; and a load adjusting member 60 that is disposed so as to be able to freely protrude into the inside of the paper sheet loading unit and be retracted to outside the paper sheet loading unit. The load acting on the feeding roller from the stack of paper sheets is reduced by pressing the front side surface of the stack of paper sheets using a pressing surface of the load adjusting member when the same is protruding in order to cause the front side surface of the stack of paper sheets to be displaced inward, and by allowing the load from the stack of paper sheets to be received by the pressing surface.

A paper money discriminating device, comprising a carrying device (2) having a rotor (5) rotatably disposed in a case (1), a drive device (12) rotating the rotor (5), and a plurality of pressing rollers (11) disposed around the rotor (5) in the state of being brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the rotor (5). A paper money (10) inserted from an inlet (8) in the case (1) is held between the rotor (5) and the pressing rollers (11), wrapped around the outer periphery of the rotating rotor (5) over its full length, and securely carried while the paper money (10) is prevented from being slipped by the rotating motion of the carrying device (2). Also, since the paper money (10) is rotated one or more turns integrally with the rotor (5), the illicit extraction of the paper money (10) by an extractor can be prevented. When the physical properties of the paper money (10) are detected by a sensor (3) and a controller (4) determines that the paper money (10) is true, the paper money (10) is separated from the rotor (5) and discharged from an outlet (9).
