Provided is a circulation-type paper sheet storage unit equipped with circulation units in a casing, enabling to swiftly take measures and perform recovery processing on the user side when the circulation unit malfunctions. The paper sheet storage unit includes circulation units (100 and 200) that are accommodated in a casing 60 to receive paper sheets transported into the casing by operating upon reception of a drive force from a motor and feed paper sheets stored therein to outside of the casing. The casing includes guide members 620 that serve as a guide at the time of attaching or detaching the circulation unit with respect to the casing, and the circulation unit includes guided members (655A, 675A, 655B, and 675B) which respectively detachably engage with the guide member, and are guided to an installation completion position along the guide members in an engaged state.

A non-splicing feeder including: multiple sprockets in a conveyance direction that accurately supply components stored in carrier tape to a supply position; a main body; a first sprocket on which first engaging protrusions are formed which is rotatably provided at supply position of main body; a second sprocket on which second engaging protrusions are formed which is rotatably provided on main body at a position on the downstream side in the conveyance direction of carrier tape with respect to first sprocket; wherein a tooth thickness dimension of second engaging protrusion is set to be smaller than a tooth thickness dimension of first engaging protrusion.

A sheet supplying apparatus, in which a user can select either automatic sheet feeding or manual sheet feeding, includes a driving unit configured to cause a roll including a wound consecutive sheet to rotate in a first direction for feeding the sheet or a second direction opposite to the first direction, a first sensor that detects a leading end portion of the sheet separated from an outer circumferential surface of the roll, a second sensor that detects the leading end portion which is manually set in a conveyance path by the user, and a determination unit configured to determine whether or not automatic sheet feeding is performed on the basis of a detection result of the second sensor.

In a storage operation, a first tape and a second tape are wound around a drum with a paper sheet sandwiched therebetween to store the paper sheet, the first tape being positioned outside the paper sheet in a radial direction of the drum. In a feeding operation, the first tape is wound around a first reel, and the second tape is wound around a second reel to feed the paper sheet from the drum. In at least one of the storage operation or the feeding operation, greater tension acts on the first tape than on the second tape.
