Abstract: An apparatus for sequentially feeding an accumulation of sheets stored in a storing section thereof one by one to a predetermined transport path. A pressing member presses the accumulation of sheets to one side in a direction in which the sheets are accumulated. A pair of pick-up rollers abut against the surface of the accumulation of sheets at the above-mentioned one side. A pair of feed rollers are located at a predetermined feed position in parallel with the pair of pick-up rollers. Actuators cause the pick-up roller pair and the feed roller pair to move toward and away from each other in a reciprocating motion. A pair of reverse rollers are located to face the pair of feed rollers and rotatable in a counter-feed direction opposite to a predetermined feed direction. The pick-up rollers and feed rollers moving toward and away from each other pay out a sheet from one side of the accumulation.

Abstract: Re-dispensable bills, such as less skewed bills and successive bills, among these rejected bills which are normal but rendered undiscriminatable while being dispensed from the storage boxes to the clerk-side bill slot are temporarily stacked, in the customer-side bill slot, and the bills are stored from the customer-side bill slot into the storage boxes when desired bills stacked in the clerk-side bill slot are completely dispensed.
