    Abstract: A sheet feeding device includes a sheet feeding unit and a feed unit. The sheet feeding unit includes a housing having a pair of wall portions. The feed unit includes a pickup roller and a sheet feed roller. The feed unit includes a holder, a shaft and a pair of bearing portions. The holder has a pair of side walls each having a bearing hole portion. The shaft extends between the pair of side walls. The pair of bearing portions are mounted in the bearing hole portions and rotatably supports the shaft. The housing includes a pair of shaft supporting portions provided on the pair of wall portions and capable of supporting the bearing portions. The feed unit is attached to the housing and the holder swings with the outer peripheral parts of the bearing portions, whereby the pickup roller is vertically movable.

    Abstract: An image forming device includes a sheet transport portion; an image forming portion; and a sheet conveying portion. The sheet conveying portion includes: a guide plate extending in a sheet width direction; a plurality of guide ribs arranged on the guide plate along the sheet width direction and extending along the sheet convey direction, each having a sheet guide surface guiding the sheet being conveyed; and a suction portion which causes suction air to act on a sheet guided by the guide ribs to bring the sheet into close contact with the sheet guide surface via suction holes opened in the guide plate and which is configured to reduce an air amount of the suction air in regions of the guide ribs on the downstream side in the sheet convey direction to be smaller than that in regions of the guide ribs on an upstream side.

    Abstract: A sheet accommodating cassette includes a sheet accommodating section, a sheet loading plate, and a lift mechanism. The lift mechanism includes a rotary shaft, a push-up plate, a coupling member, an actuator, and an urging member. The push-up plate lifts up and down the sheet loading plate by pivoting about the rotary shaft. Driving force is input from a cassette attachment section to the coupling member. The actuator projects from an end of the rotary shaft. The urging member urges the actuator in a direction in which the sheet loading plate pivots toward the lowered position.

    Abstract: A sheet loading apparatus includes: a sheet loading portion that includes a bottom portion on which a sheet is loaded; and a regulating mechanism that butts an end edge of the sheet extending in a first direction to limit a position of the sheet in a second direction. The regulating mechanism includes: a guide portion that is formed on the bottom portion to extend in the second direction; and a limiting member slidable along the guide portion. The guide portion includes: first engaged portions that are formed at predetermined intervals along the second direction; and a second engaged portion that is formed continuously along the second direction. The limiting member includes: a pair of engaging portions that are composed of: a first engagement portion able to engage with one of the first engaged portions; and a second engagement portion which engages with the second engaged portion.

    Abstract: A sheet feed cassette includes a cassette main body, a sheet loading plate, a regulating member, and an auxiliary member. The sheet loading plate has a support surface and an opening. The support surface supports a sheet sheaf of one or more sheets. The regulating member is slidable within the opening in a sheet width direction perpendicular to a sheet feed direction. The regulating member regulates the sheet sheaf by coming into contact with an edge of the sheaf. The auxiliary member is supported by the sheet loading plate. The auxiliary member is in contact with the regulating member. The auxiliary member is turnable in parallel to the support surface in accompaniment to sliding of the regulating member. The auxiliary member supports a part of the sheet sheaf located over the opening.

    Abstract: A sheet cassette includes a bottom portion, a pair of side walls, a lift plate and an auxiliary supporting portion. The pair of side walls stand from the bottom portion. The lift plate is arranged on the bottom portion, and a sheet to be fed in a conveying direction is placed on the upper surface of the lift plate. The lift plate includes a pair of fulcrum portions arranged on an upstream side in the conveying direction and is moved to a sheet feeding position for feeding the sheet by being moved upward from a bottom position with the fulcrum portions. The auxiliary supporting portion is arranged inwardly of the pair of fulcrum portions in a sheet width direction, is arranged between the lift plate arranged at the bottom position and the bottom portion and supports the lift plate.
