A stripping device for stripping sheet-shaped objects from a roller includes at least one stripper. The stripper is mounted rotatably about a bearing and includes stripping portion configured to be tapering to a point and a support portion which is different from the stripping portion. The stripping portion and the support portion are arranged relative to each other and the stripper is mounted such that, when the stripper is pressed against the roller with prestressing during operation, the stripper has two mutually spaced apart contact points with the roller, which contact points are defined by the stripping portion and the support portion of the stripper.

A medium processing device includes: a drum that is rotatably supported, that rotates around a rotation axis, and that winds a medium around a peripheral side surface thereof; a first tape that winds the medium sandwiched between the peripheral side surface and the first tape, accompanying rotation of the drum; a movable guide that is movable following a drum diameter of the drum, which changes depending on a winding amount of the medium, and that guides the medium; and a first static electricity elimination section that is provided at the movable guide, that abuts the first tape, and that performs static electricity elimination of an electric charge of the charged first tape.

A sheet handling apparatus (for example, banknote handling apparatus 20) includes a storing and feeding unit (25) in which a sheet is stored on a rotary member (for example, drum (25a)) by winding the sheet on the rotary member and the sheet wound on the rotary member can be fed from the rotary member, a transport unit (23) that transports the sheet fed from the storing and feeding unit (25), a curl correction mechanism (70) that corrects a curl of the sheet transported by the transport unit (23), and a stacking unit (for example, banknote collection bag (34)) in which the sheet that has passed through the curl correction mechanism (70) is stacked.

An upper-side conveyance guide of a temporary holding section is provided with an upper-side movable guide that capable of moving in coordination with the drum diameter of a drum so as to be interposed between the upper-side conveyance guide and the drum at all times. The upper-side movable guide guides a banknote that is being conveyed gripped only at the center by a banknote conveying portion of a main tape, between the upper-side conveyance guide and the drum. Folding of the banknote is accordingly suppressed by the upper-side movable guide, enabling the banknote to be guided to a gap between the upper-side conveyance guide and a lower-side conveyance guide without catching on a rear face of the upper-side conveyance guide or the like. Accordingly, the banknote can be prevented from contacting portions that should not be contacted and causing conveyance issues as a result.

A folding apparatus of an offset web-fed printing press includes a first transport means formed as belt conveyor system for a web-shaped printing material and configured such that belts thereof can be driven at a speed, which corresponds to the speed of the printing material, and a first cutting means arranged in the region of the first transport means configured such that it severs the printing material in a format-variable manner in those sections not covered by the belts of the first transport means, and a second transport means arranged downstream from the first transport means and formed as belt conveyor system, the belts of which are offset relative to the belts of the first transport means transversely to the transport direction of the printing material, configured such that the belts thereof can be driven at a speed larger than the speed of the belts of the first transport means.
