To provide a paper-holding device, which is excellent in the attaching/detaching operability for copy papers, or the like, and by which characters and data contents are easy to see, and which is suitable for an automatic feeding of copy papers, or the like.

This paper-holding device comprises a double wall structure, wherein, in a transparent cylinder 5, which is equipped with an opening 6 on one end section, and is molded of a plastic, a guide member 9 having a tapered-out configuration is provided. Then, copy papers are formed into a cylindrical shape, and are inserted and fitted in a gap S of the double wall structure section formed of the inner peripheral surface and the guide member 9, from the opening 6 of the transparent cylinder 5. A belt 17 is directly stretched from a motor shaft 16, on the outer peripheral section of the transparent cylinder, which is rotatably supported. Then, by a touching operation to switches 21 and 22 of a control box 20, in which batteries are incorporated, the transparent cylinder 5 is step-by-step driven, and is inputted and line-fed for the paper holding device. Therefore, the fitted copy papers are easy to see because a narrow visual field range is displayed. Also, by the arrangement being arranged between a display and a keyboard, an input work can be performed by simply moving a line of sight in the vertical direction, without shaking head in the lateral and vertical directions such as a conventional flat board type, and eyes do not become weary. In addition, a copy paper-feeding is operated by a foot switch, and an efficient input operation can be easily performed.
