A paper-sheet feeding device, comprising: a kicker roller configured to be in contact with the surface of a forefront paper-sheet of a plurality of paper-sheets held in a stacked state, adapted to be rotated continuously upon performing feed-out of the paper-sheets, and including a base part and a high friction part formed in a part of the outer circumference of the base part along the circumferential direction and configured to kick out the forefront paper-sheet; a feed roller adapted to be rotated continuously upon performing the feed-out of the paper-sheets, and including a base part and a high friction part formed over the entire outer circumference of the base part and configured to be 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 feed roller, wherein the press-fitting roller includes a torque-limiting unit therein configured such that, when there is no paper-sheet between the feed roller and the press-fitting roller, torque greater than a predetermined torque is applied to the press-fitting roller, such that the press-fitting roller is rotatable together with the feed roller; characterised in that the torque-limiting unit is configured such that, when there is one or more paper-sheets between the feed roller and the press-fitting roller, only a torque less than the predetermined torque is applied to the press-fitting roller, and rotation of the press-fitting roller is stopped, by force, due to the torque-limiting unit; whereby the press-fitting roller provides a press-fitting type gate part between the press-fitting roller and the feed roller, which gate part is adapted to separate the paper-sheets fed by the feed roller into one sheet. a kicker roller configured to be in contact with the surface of a forefront paper-sheet of a plurality of paper-sheets held in a stacked state, adapted to be rotated continuously upon performing feed-out of the paper-sheets, and including a base part and a high friction part formed in a part of the outer circumference of the base part along the circumferential direction and configured to kick out the forefront paper-sheet; a feed roller adapted to be rotated continuously upon performing the feed-out of the paper-sheets, and including a base part and a high friction part formed over the entire outer circumference of the base part and configured to be 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 feed roller, wherein the press-fitting roller includes a torque-limiting unit therein configured such that, when there is no paper-sheet between the feed roller and the press-fitting roller, torque greater than a predetermined torque is applied to the press-fitting roller, such that the press-fitting roller is rotatable together with the feed roller; characterised in that the torque-limiting unit is configured such that, when there is one or more paper-sheets between the feed roller and the press-fitting roller, only a torque less than the predetermined torque is applied to the press-fitting roller, and rotation of the press-fitting roller is stopped, by force, due to the torque-limiting unit; whereby the press-fitting roller provides a press-fitting type gate part between the press-fitting roller and the feed roller, which gate part is adapted to separate the paper-sheets fed by the feed roller into one sheet.
