Abstract:
Provided herein may be a pick-up roller with a front-edge alignment element and a media separation apparatus using the pick-up roller. The pick-up roller may include a pick-up element configured to pick up and transfer a media sheet, and the front-edge alignment element provided at a position opposite to the pick-up element. During a process of picking up a stacked media sheet and transferring it into a space between a feed roller and a separation roller unit, the front-edge alignment element may align in advance a front edge of a media sheet disposed subsequent to the medial sheet that is being transferred, to a position of the entrance between the feed roller and the separation roller unit, and thereafter, the pick-up element may pick up the media sheet aligned by the front-edge alignment element and transfer it into the space between the feed roller and the separation roller unit.

Claim (Index 7):
The pick-up roller according to  claim 2 ,\n wherein the pick-up roller body includes a stop protrusion provided in a first side portion of the second section, and an elastic sheet fixing depression formed in a second side portion of the second section, wherein the front-edge alignment element includes a slot formed in a first end thereof, and a second end of the front-edge alignment element is fitted into the elastic sheet fixing depression formed in the second side portion of the second section, and wherein the front-edge alignment element is movably hooked and coupled, through the slot formed in the first end, to the stop protrusion provided in the first side portion of the second section of the pick-up roller body, in such a way that the elastic sheet protrudes in a curved shape outward from the outer circumferential surface of the second section.
