Abstract
A medium storage and feeding device and a medium processing device that may prevent occurrences of faults more reliably than the related art. A drum () is provided that winds up a banknote BL nipped by pairs of tapes (L,R,L andR) together with the pairs of tapes. Torque limiters (L,R,L andR) are separately provided at each of tape reels (L,R,L andR). The torque limiters control torques between the tape reels and reel rotation axle shafts (and), such that tensions applied to the tapes between the tape reels (L,R,L andR) and the drum () are constant. Thus, tensions on the tapes between the respective tape reels and the drum may be kept constant, banknote nipping stability may be improved, and occurrences of faults may be prevented more reliably than in the related art.
