<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet material transporting device which can detect that a rear end of a sheet material passes a predetermined position at timing earlier than that of a conventional device without losing the setting performance of the sheet material at a sheet material loading device, and an image reading device provided with the sheet material transporting device and an image forming device. <P>SOLUTION: The sheet material transporting device has a belt rotation detecting mechanism 140 which is a feeding material rotation detecting section that detects whether a feeding belt 84 rotates, and when a draft is transported by a pullout roller pair 86, the drive of a feeding motor 102 is turned off. By this, the feeding belt 84 rotates in conjunction with the draft transported by the pullout roller pair 86, and when a rear end of the draft goes through a separation nip Ab, the rotation of the feeding belt 84 is stopped. Accordingly, when the belt rotation detecting mechanism 140 detects that the rotation of the feeding belt 84 is stopped, it is possible to detect that the rear end of the draft goes through the separation nip Ab. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
