Abstract
A paper sheet storage container capable of accurately taking out paper sheets one-by-one. A paper sheet group is held by a paper sheet placing table and holding members, while the paper sheet placing table is being biased upward by an elastic member so that the position of an uppermost paper sheet of the paper sheet group placed on the paper sheet placing table is substantially the same position as the positions of holes through which air flows. In this state, in the paper sheet storage container, air is blown from a side to the uppermost paper sheet of the paper sheet group placed on the paper sheet placing table thereby allowing the uppermost paper sheet to be brought into a state in which the vicinity of the center thereof has been raised.
Claims14
A paper sheet storage container comprising:
- a bottom portion;
- a paper sheet placing table configured to place paper sheets;
- an elastic member disposed between the bottom portion and the paper sheet placing table, the elastic member being configured to urge the paper sheet placing table upward;
- a pair of spaced holding members configured to hold opposite sides of paper sheets placed on the paper sheet placing table against the paper sheet placing table;
- a side wall portion provided with at least one hole for allowing air to flow from the outside to a vicinity of a height substantially the same as a height at which a surface of an uppermost paper sheet is located when paper sheets are placed on the paper sheet placing table;
- a flow path regulating member configured to regulate a flow path of the air, and;
- wherein the flow path regulating member is provided on the paper sheet placing table is provided at a position that causes a flow rate of air in the vicinity of the center on the paper sheet placing table to be greater than a flow rate of air not in the vicinity of the center on the paper sheet placing table.
