Abstract:
1. A sheet take-out apparatus, comprising: a take-out unit configured to take out a plurality of sheets in a stacked state one by one on a conveying route; a separation unit configured to shift and to separate overlapping sheets among the plurality of sheets taken out by the take-out unit on the conveying route, the overlapping sheets including a preceding sheet and a succeeding sheet, the separation unit being arranged downstream from the take-out unit on the conveying route and including an overlapping detector configured to detect overlapping sheets that have not been separated by the separation unit; and a re-separation unit configured to re-separate the overlapping sheets detected by the overlapping detector, the re-separation unit being arranged downstream from the separation unit and including wherein, when the overlapping detector detects the overlapping sheets, wherein the first roller is configured to rotate such that a peripheral speed of the first roller of the re-separation unit is faster than that of the second feed roller of the second separation unit, and wherein each face of the preceding sheet and succeeding sheet has substantially the same coefficient of friction.
