Abstract

See full text

A lower pressure plate (43) is disposed upon a paper currency pressing part (34) of a paper currency intake part (5) below an upper pressure plate (41) with a spring (44) interposed therebetween, and the paper currency pressing part (34) presses the lower pressure plate (43) upon stacked paper currency (BLC). Thus, when the stacked paper currency (BLC) oscillates vertically with the rotation of a picker roller (23), the paper currency pressing part (34) absorbs by the spring (44) an upward force which is applied from the stacked paper currency (BLC). Furthermore, the paper currency pressing part (34) presses the lower pressure plate (43) by a restoring force of the spring (44) with respect to the falling stacked paper currency (BLC). Accordingly, the paper currency pressing part (34) continues to make the lower pressure plate (43) make contact with the uppermost part of the stacked paper currency (BLC), allowing the intake of the paper currency (BL) to continue without misalignment of the paper currency in the stacked paper currency (BLC) to occur.
