and a paper sheet bundle movement mechanism that moves paper sheet bundles, which are exposed by opening a lateral opening of the paper sheet storage in a state where the paper sheet storage received in the receiving portion is stopped at a predetermined paper sheet storage stop position, outward from the lateral opening, wherein the paper sheet storage includes a casing that has a paper sheet bundle storage void inside and that includes the lateral opening on one side face, a lid unit that opens and closes the lateral opening when moving back and forth in an inward/outward direction of the lateral opening, a loading plate that is always biased in a lifting direction to hold the paper sheet bundles in a stacked manner while being supported to be capable of being lifted and lowered in the paper sheet bundle storage void, and a driven mechanism that receives an external driving force for lowering the loading plate against a biasing force, the lid unit includes a lid body that moves back and forth between a closed position to close the lateral opening of the casing and an open position spaced outward from the lateral opening to open the lateral opening, and a paper sheet bundle moving member that is provided in a protruded manner from the lid body toward an inside of the lateral opening and that collectively moves the paper sheet bundles in the paper sheet bundle storage void from the lateral opening to outside the casing when moving outward along with the lid body, and the paper sheet bundle movement mechanism includes a lid unit opening/closing mechanism that moves back and forth between a spaced position spaced from the lid body of the paper sheet storage located in the receiving portion and an approaching position where the lid body is latched, and that moves the lid unit to the open position by moving to the spaced position in a state where the lid body is latched, a loading table that is configured to receive and load the paper sheet bundles moved by the paper sheet bundle moving member outward from the lateral opening in accordance with movement of the lid unit to the open position when at a lifted standby position, and to be capable of being lowered from the standby position to a lowered position in a state where the paper sheet bundles are loaded thereon, and a loading table movement mechanism that moves the loading table located at the lowered position to a predetermined paper sheet bundle discharge position. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The paper sheet storage handling device according to claim 1, including an external driving mechanism that couples to the driven mechanism and transmits the external driving force thereto when the paper sheet storage is at the paper sheet storage stop position. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The paper sheet storage handling device according to claim 1, comprising: a restricting member that is configured to restrict a side face position of the paper sheet bundles received by the loading table and to be movable to the paper sheet bundle discharge position along with the loading table by the loading table movement mechanism; and a loading table retraction mechanism that retracts the loading table having moved to the paper sheet bundle discharge position from the paper sheet bundle discharge position independently of the restricting member, wherein the restricting member restricts the paper sheet bundles to the paper sheet bundle discharge position when the loading table is independently retracted. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The paper sheet storage handling device according to claim 1, wherein the lid unit opening/closing mechanism includes a sticking unit that sticks to and holds a stuck portion provided on an outer face of the lid body. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The paper sheet storage handling device according to claim 2, comprising: a restricting member that is configured to restrict a side face position of the paper sheet bundles received by the loading table and to be movable to the paper sheet bundle discharge position along with the loading table by the loading table movement mechanism; and a loading table retraction mechanism that retracts the loading table having moved to the paper sheet bundle discharge position from the paper sheet bundle discharge position independently of the restricting member, wherein the restricting member restricts the paper sheet bundles to the paper sheet bundle discharge position when the loading table is independently retracted. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The paper sheet storage handling device according to claim 2, wherein the lid unit opening/closing mechanism includes a sticking unit that sticks to and holds a stuck portion provided on an outer face of the lid body. ### Claim 7 (depends on 3) The paper sheet storage handling device according to claim 3, wherein the lid unit opening/closing mechanism includes a sticking unit that sticks to and holds a stuck portion provided on an outer face of the lid body. ### Claim 8 (depends on 5) The paper sheet storage handling device according to claim 5, wherein the lid unit opening/closing mechanism includes a sticking unit that sticks to and holds a stuck portion provided on an outer face of the lid body.
