PURPOSE:To certainly deliver paper sheets one by one by way of always maintaining frictional force between a paper sheet feed roller and paper sheets and between a pad and paper sheets by providing a means to adjust contact force of a pad member to the paper sheet feed roller and a control means to increase contact force in accordance with the use of a paper sheet feeder. CONSTITUTION:A control circuit 46 receives a one-round rotation signal from a rotation counter 48 to detect the rotation of a paper sheet roller 12 and adds one to revolution counter NN of the paper sheet roller 12. Subsequently, whether this revolution counter NN reaches a specific value NNO or not is judged and when it reaches it, a motor 36 is driven and an eccentric cam 34 is revolved by a specific small angle a. At this time, the signal from a photo sensor 44 is used to control the angle of revolution a. Thereafter, the revolution counter NN is reset at 0 and returned to the starting point. Through this procedure, the contact force against the paper sheet roller 12 of a friction disc 14 is gradually increased and the frictional force between the paper sheet roller 12 and paper sheets and between the pad and paper sheets is maintained. |
