SOLUTION: The feeding cassette 1 to be removably attached to the image forming device body has a turnable intermediate plate 2 to be loaded with sheets, the rotatable pinion gear 5 provided in the bottom surface of the cassette, and a pair of width regulation plates 3 and 4 having the rack parts 3a and 4a provided with racks to be engaged with the pinion gear 5. The intermediate plate 2 has an abutment part 2b, on which the rack part of at least one of the pair of width regulation plates 3 and 4 abuts when inserting the feeding cassette 1 into the image forming device body.
