<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a feeder wherein even if a step is formed in an upstream guide member mounted at the upstream side in the feeding direction with respect to a curved guide member, a "flip-up noise at rear end" is not generated by a rear end of a recording medium hitting the upstream guide member strongly when the rear end passes through the step portion, and to provide an image forming device. <P>SOLUTION: A protrusion member 31 protruding to get closer to the recording medium P on the curved feed face W side of the curved guide member 19C while forming a curved opposing face 31b different from a curved shape of the curved feed face W, and a moving means 46 for moving the curved opposing face 31b of the protrusion member 31 between positions getting closer to and away from the recording medium P. Before the rear end of the recording medium P passes through the step portion of the upstream guide member 19A, the moving means 46 moves the curved opposing face 31b of the protrusion member 31 to the position getting closer to the recording medium P from the position away from it. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
