1. A sheet feeding device comprising:
a sheet feed cassette storing sheets; a sheet feeding portion configured to sequentially feed the sheets stored in the sheet feed cassette; the sheet feeding cassette including:
a cassette body;a sheet stacking portion provided in the cassette body turnably in a vertical direction and pressing the stacked sheets against the sheet feeding portion;a first side edge restricting portion provided in the cassette body;a second side edge restricting portion disposed to face the first side edge restricting portion and restricting a position of the sheets in a width direction together with the first side edge restricting portion;a first pressing portion provided projectively in the width direction from the second side edge restricting portion downstream in the sheet feeding direction within the second side edge restricting portion, formed such that a vertical width thereof is shorter than a maximum thickness of a sheet bundle stored in the cassette body, and configured to press an uppermost sheet of the stacked sheets against the first side edge restricting portion;a second pressing portion provided projectively in the width direction from the second side edge restricting portion upstream in the sheet feeding direction of the first pressing portion, formed such that a vertical width thereof is shorter than the maximum thickness of the sheet bundle, and configured to press the uppermost sheet against the first side edge restricting portion; andan interlock mechanism configured to move the second pressing portion vertically in linkage with the sheet stacking portion. |
