A label dispensing machine includes a label curving cover, and arched label output mechanism for outputting a continuous series of label strip to an inner side of the label curving cover where the lead end of the continuous series of label strip is curved by the label curving cover into an integral arch-shaped label. The label dispensing machine is disposed at one side of a film roll/bags-on-a-roll on a reel so that the arch-shaped label can be cut off and adhered to a cut-off lead end of the film roll/bags-on-a-roll and partially exposed to the outside of the tear line of the film roll/bags-on-a-roll easily for allowing the user to quickly find and lift the cut-off lead end of the film roll/bags-on-a-roll.

In a drum-type paper sheet accumulation device that sequentially supplies paper sheets to an outer circumferential surface of a payout drum, accumulates the paper sheets by winding the paper sheets in a stacked state, and returns the paper sheets all at once, a technique is provided which can keep a linear velocity of a paper sheet located at an outermost circumference of the payout drum constant and can maintain an arranged state of the paper sheets without any particular speed control. A paper sheet accumulation drum 105 that stacks and accumulates paper sheets supplied one by one on an outer circumferential surface thereof while rotating, includes a plurality of retractable members 280 that are arranged on a paper sheet accumulation portion of the outer circumferential surface in a predetermined circumferential arrangement, are configured to be retractable between a most protruding position protruding radially outward and a retreat position retreating from the most protruding position radially inward, are each elastically biased in a protruding direction, and each come into contact with a paper sheet surface on an outer surface. The paper sheets are accumulated to spread over the retractable members.

To prevent a failure or the like caused by winding of a tape in a reverse direction to a proper direction, a paper sheet circulation device includes a travelling-direction mark having a pattern that is formed along a travelling-direction of a detection tape and indicates the difference of the travelling-direction of the tape, and a sensor module that detects the travelling-direction mark and outputs a detection signal. The paper sheet circulation device determines a travelling-direction of the tape from a pattern signal in accordance with the travelling-direction of the tape acquired on the basis of a temporal change of the detection signal, and determines a winding direction of the tape on a drum from the travelling-direction of the tape and a rotation direction of the drum.

A second tape conveying mechanism 20B includes a sprocket 21B allowed to rotate freely only in a first rotating direction corresponding to a tape conveying direction, and a first urging member 30 which urges and causes a carrier tape 14 to engage the sprocket 21B. When a preceding tape 14(1) engages the sprocket 21B and a subsequent tape 14(2) is inserted, the second tape conveying mechanism 20B abuts against a leading end of the subsequent tape 14(2) to prohibit entry of the subsequent tape 14(2). After the preceding tape 14(2) passes a tape stopper 35a, a position of the second tape conveying mechanism 20B is changed from a tape entry prohibition position to a tape entry permission position.

A paper sheet storage device includes a supply reel that supplies a rolled tape; a winding drum around which a banknote is wound together with the tape supplied from the supply reel; a first detection unit that detects a supply amount of the tape supplied from the supply reel; and a second detection unit that detects the winding drum of which the outer diameter becomes equal to or larger than a predetermined outer diameter when the banknote is wound around the winding drum together with the tape.
