Abstract:
A sheet feeding device includes a sheet stacking base having a base surface for a sheet, a feeding member, and a pair of cursors. The pair of cursors includes first and second cursors that separate from and come close to each other along the sheet width direction, and is movable between first position and second position. The first and second cursors are separated by the maximum distance at the first position and by the minimum distance at the second position. The first cursor includes a movable base part, and a movable sub-cursor. When a narrow sheet is placed on the base surface, the sub-cursor is moved from the reference position toward the second cursor to be brought into contact with a side face of the narrow sheet to thereby position the narrow sheet.

Claim (Index 3):
The sheet feeding device according to  claim 2 , further comprising a cursor moving mechanism that moves the first cursor and the second cursor in conjunction with each other to separate from and come close to each other along the sheet width direction, wherein\n the cursor moving mechanism includes a pinion gear rotatably supported on a shaft protrudingly provided on the sheet stacking base, a first rack bar connected to the first cursor, and a second rack bar connected to the second cursor, the rack bars meshing with the pinion gear to move, the second cursor at the second position is in an outer side, in the sheet width direction, of the sheet detector, and the sub-cursor at the second position is movable from the second reference position to an outer side of a side face of the feeding member in the sheet width direction.
