Abstract: A sheet feeder has a sheet accommodating portion, a lift plate, an actuating plate, and an actuating plate driving member. The lift plate is supported on the bottom face of the sheet accommodating portion such that an end part of the lift plate is rotatable. The actuating plate raises and lowers the lift plate by moving between a first position where it lies flat along the bottom face of the sheet accommodating portion and a second position where it is raised a predetermined angle from the bottom face of the sheet accommodating portion. The actuating plate driving member has the actuating plate fixed thereto. The engagement portion is provided on the reverse face of the lift plate, and engages with the actuating plate when this is in the first position and disengages from the actuating plate as the actuating plate rotates from the first position to the second position.

Abstract translation: 片材进给器具有片材容纳部分，提升板，致动板和致动板驱动构件。 提升板支撑在片材容纳部分的底面上，使得提升板的端部可旋转。 致动板通过沿着片材容纳部分的底面处平坦的第一位置和从片材容纳部分的底面以预定角度升高的第二位置之间移动而升高和降低提升板。 致动板驱动构件具有固定在其上的致动板。 接合部分设置在提升板的背面上，并且当致动板处于第一位置时与致动板接合，并且随着致动板从第一位置旋转到第二位置而从致动板脱离。
