PURPOSE:To reduce a wedge effect due to a document inserting force and prevent a contacting part from separating from a paper feed roller by pressing the contacting part of a separating part against the paper feed roller with a pressing means. CONSTITUTION:When documents 11 are strongly inserted or when a larger number of sheets of documents 11 are inserted at a time, the contacting part 21a of a separating part 21 is kept in contact with a paper feed roller 1, whereas, its fulcrum side 21b is bent nearly in an L-shape. As a result, the opening angle theta between the documents 11 and the separating part 21 becomes larger to reduce a wedge effect due to a document inserting force preventing the paper feed roller 1 separating from the contacting part 21a of the separating part 21. Thereby, even when documents 11 are strongly inserted or when a larger number of sheets of documents 11 are inserted at a time, the separating function of the documents 11 is not deteriorated, enabling the documents to be securely fed one sheet at a time from the document 11 on the topmost site in order.
