PURPOSE: To separate and deliver sheets of paper one sheet at a time by providing a paper attaching means which is reciprocated between sheets of paper on a receiving table and a conveying means, a means of electrifying the paper attaching means with a static electricity in a paper contacting position, and a means of removing the static electricity of the paper attaching means in a conveying position.

CONSTITUTION: When a charged body 10 is returned to a bill contacting position as shown by the virtual line α, an electrifying contact needle 15 is brought into contact with the charged body 10 to electrify the charged body 10 with a static electricity of a defined charge generated by a static electricity generating device 11. Due to the attraction of this static electricity, a bill A on the foremost end on a receiving table 3 is separated from other bills and attached to the charged body 10. And, due to the advancing movement of the charged body 10 to a conveying roller 5, 6 side, the bill A attached to the charged body 10 is conveyed to the roller 5, 6 side and, at the same time the end of the bill A is caught in between the rollers 5, 6, the charged body 10 reaches a conveying position as shown by the solid line β and an electricity removing contact needle 17 is brought into contact with the charged body 10. Thereby, the static electricity with which the charged body 10 is charged is removed to the earth 13 and the bill A is separated from the charged body 10 and conveyed.
