<p>PURPOSE:To enable a friction member to come in uniform contact with a paper feeding roller by utilizing resilient force of a resilient plate itself. CONSTITUTION:Pins 23, 24 are fixed at the upper and lower parts of a separator unit 22 which is pivotally fitted to a shaft 21, a friction member 26 is fixed on the surface of a long and narrow resilient plate 25, notched parts 25b, 25b are formed at the both ends, and the notched parts 25a, 25b at the both ends are positioned inside the pins 23, 24 by bending the resilient plate 25 outward. Then, with the bending force released, the notched parts 25a, 25b are engaged with the pins 23, 24 by their own resilient force, at the same time, the friction member 26 is brought into contact with a paper feeding roller 27 by its own resilient force. In this event, since the resilient plate 25 can be freely displaced laterally in the radial direction, the friction member 26 is brought into uniform contact with the paper feeding roller 27 in the lateral direction under pressure.</p> |
