Abstract:
1. A paper-sheet feeding device, comprising: a kicker roller in contact with the surface of a forefront paper-sheet of a plurality of paper-sheets held in a stacked state, the kicker roller being rotated continuously upon performing feed-out of the paper-sheets such that the kicker roller kicks out paper sheets one by one intermittently; a feed roller rotated continuously upon performing the feed-out of the paper-sheets, and including a feed roller base part and a feed roller friction part formed over the entire outer circumference of the feed roller base part, the feed roller friction part being in contact with the surface of the paper-sheet to be kicked out by the kicker roller so as to perform the feed-out of the paper-sheet; and a press-fitting roller provided to press-fit against the outer surface of the feed roller so as to form a compressed press-fitting gate part between the press-fitting roller and the feed roller, the gate part separating the paper-sheets to be fed by the feed roller into one sheet, the one sheet being fed through the gate part, and the press-fitting roller being rotated together with the feed roller when there is no paper-sheet between the feed roller and the press-fitting roller.
