Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2781478A2] According to one embodiment, a paper sheet pickup device includes an input portion (24), pickup mechanism (56), and pickup assist mechanism (30). The pickup mechanism picks up, one by one, the paper sheets supplied to a pickup position. The pickup assist mechanism is arranged upstream of the pickup mechanism in the pickup direction of the paper sheet. The pickup assist mechanism includes a suction belt (64) configured to be arranged to be able to travel in the pickup direction, an air drawing portion (60, 62) configured to suck a paper sheet to the suction belt through the suction belt, and a driving motor (66) configured to drive the suction belt. The pickup assist mechanism sucks a paper sheet to the suction belt to feed it to the pickup position, and while the pickup mechanism picks up the paper sheet, sucks and holds the next paper sheet.
