<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the generation of feeding trouble such as overlapped feeding in relation to various sheet material by providing a sheet separating means for separating plural sheet materials laminated on a loading means one by one at a tip thereof in the feeding direction. SOLUTION: A sheet separating means 50 has a rotary shaft 51 having plural flexible members abutting on a sheet material S at a tip thereof in the feeding direction and a rotating means 54 for rotating the rotary shaft 51 with a desirable timing. The rotary shaft 51 is driven for rotation with a desirable timing in the case of non-carrying of the sheet material S, and the flexible members 52 are made to abut on the sheet material S at a tip thereof in the feeding direction so as to deform the sheet material S at a tip thereof in the feeding direction and separate it one by one. Namely, the sheet material separating means 50 separates plural sheets of the sheet material S from the top of a bundle of the sheet material S, which are laminated by a feeding cassette 14, one by one while springing up a lower surface of the sheet material S at a tip thereof so as to eliminate the adhesion of the sheet material.</p> |
