PURPOSE:To securely separate sheets of paper from each other without damaging them, by providing friction members in such prescribed positions that the edge of the lifted sheet comes into contact with the friction members. CONSTITUTION:A pair of friction members 1, which are made of a plastic film as the body and have a high flexibility, are secured on a friction member fitting plate 2 and placed near both the corners of a sheet P of paper to be lifted. The fitting plate 2 is placed in such a position by springs 20 around shafts 5 that the locus of the front edge of the lifted sheet P of paper intersects parts of the overlapped conveyance preventive friction members 1. The plate 2 can be moved by turning on a solenoid 9, to such a position that the plate does not intersect the locus of the front edge of the sheet P of paper. |
