In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the conveying means for the paper sheets is the one which is in contact with each other, but the conveying means is not limited to the one which is in contact with each other, and the present invention shown in FIG. As in the fifth embodiment of the apparatus, the upper and lower conveying means for holding the paper sheets may be arranged so as to be displaced in the axial direction. By arranging the conveying means in this way, it is possible to convey paper sheets having a certain thickness.
