PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet feeding device capable of preventing increase of driving load of the sheet feeding device without damaging sheet feeding performance, and an image reading apparatus and an image forming apparatus having it. SOLUTION: A position corresponding to a pickup roller 10 of a lower guide frame 21 is provided with an evacuating section 26 for inserting the pickup roller 10 so that the pickup roller 10 does not abut on the lower guide frame 21 when no sheet exists in the lower guide frame 21. A holding member 16 for holding the pickup roller 10 is provided with a regulating section 25 for abutting on the lower guide frame 21 to regulate the movement of the holding member 16 when no sheet exists in the lower guide frame 21. When no sheet exists and when the pickup roller 10 goes into the evacuating section 26, the regulating section 25 is butted on the lower guide frame 21 to regulate the movement of the holding member 16, and the pickup roller 10 is held in a floating state in the evacuating section.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve certainty in a skew correction on a sheet of various sizes.SOLUTION: This skew correction device has a separation roller 8, a pair of sheet tip abutting parts 24a and 24b for regulating an advance of the sheet P while making a first load T1 in the inverse direction of the sheet carrying direction Z act by abutting on an end part of the sheet P on the downstream side of the separation roller 8, and a pair of sheet tip abutting parts 23a and 23b for regulating an advance of the sheet P while making a second load T2 in the inverse direction of the sheet carrying direction Z act by abutting on the end part of the sheet P on the downstream side in the sheet carrying direction Z more than the separation roller 8 on the outside of the pair of sheet tip abutting parts 24a and 24b in the sheet width direction W of the sheet P. The skew correction device 22 is constituted so that a dimension of the separation roller 8 in the sheet width direction W of the sheet P is smaller than a dimension between the sheet tip abutting parts 23a and 23b, and a first load T1 of the sheet tip abutting parts 24a and 24b is larger than a second load T2 of the sheet tip abutting parts 23a and 23b.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus for cleaning an exposure means interlocked with an extracting/inserting action of a sheet cassette. SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus is provided with a cleaning means 1 cleaning developer (toner), etc., stuck to the exposure means (LED array head) 117a interlocked with the extracting/inserting action of the sheet cassette 160. The cleaning means 1 is connected with the sheet cassette 160 through connecting arms 5 and 5 and cleans a lens surface 119a of the LED array head 117a while moving in a cleaning part sliding groove 2a formed in frames 2 and 2. Furthermore, guide grooves 2b to have the LED array head 117a moved are provided in the frames 2 and 2 and the LED array head 117a is separated from a photoreceptor drum 101a when the cleaning means 1 is moved.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To remove a jamming sheet easily. SOLUTION: An inverted transport device 13 for sheets is equipped with a U-turn path 13b having an approximately U-form inner side wall 13b2a for inverting in guidance a sheet fed from a feed hole and ejecting from an eject hole and outer side walls 13b1a and 13b3a confronting the inner side wall and an inverting main roller 13a and follower rollers 13a1 and 13a2 installed on the U-turn path 13b for transporting the sheet, wherein the outer side wall are each divided into an upstream portion 13b1a and a downstream portion 13b3a in the sheet transporting direction and supported capable of approaching and separating to/from the inner side wall. If the upstream portions 13b1a and downstream portions 13b3a are separated from the inner side wall 13b2a, the U-turn path 13b is opened to allow access for removing the jamming sheet.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize miniaturization and cost reduction, and to enable attaching and detaching a double-side mechanism in an image reading apparatus. SOLUTION: In the image reading apparatus, a document reverse carrying mechanism 1b is provided to a general U-turn document carrying system, thereby eliminating the necessity of discharging a reversed document to the outside of the apparatus without increasing the size of a roller. This configuration can also be made into a configuration with easy options. Thus, the cost reduction and miniaturization of the apparatus can be achieved, and single-sided or double-sided reading can be performed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
