PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the cost and to save the space by constantly and fixedly holding an angle of a paper sheet entering into a separation roll and securing the smooth feeding of paper sheets in a paper feeder provided with a semicircular paper feed roll and the separation roll. SOLUTION: A bottom plate 30 pushing up the paper sheets 60 and bringing the upper surface of the paper sheets 60 in contact with the paper feed roll 20 is formed vertically movably parallel to the upper surface of the bottom plate. The vertical movement is executed by a pin 31 vertically and parallel guiding the bottom plate 30, and a spring 33 and a cam 35 attached to the shaft of the paper feed roll.
