PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely perform sheet separating operation by supporting a separation member 34 of high frictional coefficient in a state of stably coming in and out to an inclined separation face, regardless of the change of temperature and humidity. SOLUTION: A fixed separation plate having the inclined separation face is mounted on a central part in the sheet width direction at a lower part of a loading plate. The separation member 34 long in the sheet feeding direction is mounted through a through-hole 36 formed on the fixed separation plate in a state of coming in and out, in such manner that tip parts of a plurality of cantilevered elastic beams 39a extended from an inner peripheral edge of a base 39b having the approximately rectangular frame-shape in a plane view to the direction orthogonal to the sheet feeding direction, are alternately projected like comb-teeth to be fitted to each other in the directions opposite to each other from left and right both side parts. The separation member 34 is elastically supported over the tip parts of the elastic beams 39a. Only a base 39b part is supported on a base block, and inserted and held from a lower face side of the fixed separation plate. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
