PURPOSE: To guide an item sheet to a guide space without curling the sheet at the time of winding around a drum and to improve the selecting efficiency of the item sheet, by arranging an opening part of the guide space on the drum side lower than the upper end surface of the drum.
CONSTITUTION: The drum 5 enabled to turn forwardly and reversely is mounted on a multi-item input device and plural item sheets 4 are wound around the drum with laminated state to detect an item sheet 4 to be selected at the rotation of the drum 5 to one direction. An item sheet 4 to be selected by the reverse rotation of the drum 5 is guided to the guide space 3 just under a keyboard panel 1. An opening part of the guide space 3 of the multi-item input device on the drum side 5 is arranged lower than the upper end surface of the drum 5. The item sheet 4 is guided to the guide space 3 without sharp curl in the reverse direction at the winding of the sheet 4. Consequently, the selecting efficiency of the item sheet 4 is improved and the removal to the external or replacement of the sheet is easily performed.
