<p>PURPOSE:To prevent the double feeding of sheets of paper by detecting a refed sheet of paper by a detecting means and, then, separating a handling member from a paper refeeding member while moving a side part restricting member so as to beat both sides of sheets of paper. CONSTITUTION:Sheets of paper are sent one sheet at a time nearly in a perpendicular direction into an intermediate housing part 70 and housed in a laminated condition in the thickness direction. After that, the sheets of paper are refed one sheet at a time by rotating a refeeding belt 101. At this time, the double feeding of the second and the following sheets of paper is prevented by means of a handling pad 120 which is brought into pressure contact with the belt 101. And, further, as the refed sheet of paper arrives at rollers 130, 131 being provided with a conveying force, the handling pad 120 is separated from the belt 101 and side part restricting boards 95 beat both sides of housed sheets of paper. Thereby, the sheets of paper are shaken, causing the second and the following sheets of paper the front ends of which have been sent up to the place of the handling pad 120 to be returned to the original housed position.</p> |
