Abstract
A sheet takeout method includes: pressing, when a restraint device is in a restrained state, a transfer plate which is in a horizontal state to pickup and hold a topmost sheet member; pressing the sheet members by an inelastic deformation part of the transfer plate while setting the restraint device to be in a non-restrained state and setting the transfer plate to be in an elastically deformed state; inserting a restraining blade into a space formed between the topmost sheet member and its underlying sheet member and setting the restraint device to be in the restrained state again; returning the transfer plate that has picked up and held the topmost sheet member to a horizontal state while retracting the transfer plate upward; and transferring the topmost sheet member picked up and held by the transfer plate to a receiving holder.
