A medium feeding apparatus includes a feeding roller, a separation roller which nips a medium between the separation roller and the feeding roller to separate the medium and to which a driving torque is applied by a driving source in a second rotation direction that is opposite to a first rotation direction in which the medium is fed to a downstream side, and a torque limiter that causes the separation roller to idle in the first rotation direction when a rotational torque applied to the separation roller in the first rotation direction exceeds a limit torque that is a predetermined upper torque limit, in which separation setting including a pressing load of the separation roller, a rotational speed of the separation roller, and the limit torque is changeable according to condition of feeding.

A sheet feeding apparatus includes a rotary pick-up member, a rotary feed member and a separation member. A holding member holds the rotary pick-up member rotatably and is configured to swing on a swing axis positioned upstream from a rotation axis of the rotary pick-up member in a sheet feeding direction. A rotary driving member is on the swing axis of the holding member. A drive transmission portion is supported by the holding member and is configured to transmit (i) rotation of the rotary driving member to the rotary pick-up member in delivering the sheet from a sheet stacking portion toward a separation portion and (ii) rotation of the rotary pick-up member rotated by the sheet to the rotary driving member in conveying the sheet by the rotary feed member after a leading edge of the sheet in the sheet feeding direction has reached the separation portion.

The present invention discloses an assembled note-issuing device (100) and a self-service financial apparatus equipped therewith, comprising a base (10), a note container (20), a paper delivery assembly (30), a printing assembly (40) and a temporary storage assembly (50) that are arranged on the base (10) successively. The paper delivery assembly (30), the printing assembly (40) and the temporary storage assembly (50) are interconnected with the note container (20) through a note channel; the paper delivery assembly (30) delivers the notes in the note container (20) to the printing assembly (40) through the note channel for printing, and the printing assembly (40) transfers the printed notes to the temporary storage assembly (50) for temporary storage.

A sheet supplying device includes: an air blow opening configured to blow air to a side portion of an uppermost part of stacked sheets; and a flow adjuster extending from above the air blow opening over an edge of a top sheet of the stacked sheets and configured to cause an air flow blown from the air blow opening to travel along an upper surface of the top sheet of the stacked sheets.
