Paper sheet separation and transfer apparatus

摘要

Disclosed is a paper sheet separation and transfer apparatus comprising:
a take-out unit (3) which contacts a paper sheet at one end of a stack of a plurality of paper sheets, and takes out the paper sheet onto a transfer path;
a first separation unit (13) having a first feed roller (16) for feeding the paper sheet in a predetermined direction on the transfer path, and a first separation roller (17) which is pressed to the first feed roller through the transfer path, and separates second and following paper sheets taken out together with the first paper sheet by applying a separating force;
a state detection unit (51) which detects the state that a plurality of paper sheets are present between the first feed roller (16) and first separation roller (17); and
a control unit (40) which causes the peripheral speed of the take-out unit (3) to decelerate, when the state detection unit (51) detects said state.
