<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a feeding device and an image formation device capable of suppressing distortion of a structure. <P>SOLUTION: The feeding device comprises: a structure having a base plate with a rectangular shape and four side plates arranged so as to surround the base plate; a paper tray to store paper in a stack; and a feeding roller to feed the paper from the paper tray. The paper tray is adapted to be detachable through a first opening section formed on the side plate at one side in a paper feeding direction by the feeding roller as well as a second opening section formed on the side plate at one side in a direction orthogonal to the paper feeding direction. Leg sections are provided at both corners of a bottom surface of the side plate, where the first opening is formed, in an axial direction of the feeding roller and at a center of the bottom surface of the side plate, opposite to the side plate where the first opening is formed, in the axial direction of the feeding roller. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
