<p>A separating device (50,50A) includes a carrying-out portion (30) for carrying-out a medium (P), and a conveying portion (18) for conveying the medium (P) carried out by the carrying-out portion (30). A separating portion (40) is provided between the carrying-out portion (30) and the conveying portion (18), and is rotatable about a rotation fulcrum (41b). The separating portion (40) has an end portion (41a) separably contacts the carrying-out portion (30) to separate the medium (P) therefrom. The separating portion (40) includes a first guiding portion (42) rotatably provided for guiding the medium separated from the carrying-out portion (30) to the conveying portion (18). The first guiding portion (42) is provided between the carrying-out portion (30) and the conveying portion (18), and has a rotation center (41c) located on the carrying-out portion (30) side with respect to the rotation fulcrum (41b). When a straight line (L0) is defined by connecting contact areas (34,18d) of the carrying-out portion (30) and the conveying portion (18), the rotation center (41c) is located on the straight line (L0) side with respect to the rotation fulcrum (41b).</p> |
