A sheet feed device includes: a conveyor roller that rotates in a first direction; a separation roller rotatable in a second, reverse to the first direction, that nips a sheet with the conveyor roller; a sheet detector provided at a detecting position to detect a number of sheets; a pressure generator that generates a pressure to press the separation roller against the conveyor roller; a separation torque generator that generates a separation torque to convey the sheet on the separation roller in the second direction; and a controller that, if two or more sheets are detected, applies the pressure and/or the separation torque to the separation roller to separate the sheets until the detected number of sheets is decreased to be one, and that, after the number of sheets becomes one, controls the pressure and/or the separation torque to adjust a position of the sheet on the separation roller to a target position.

There is provided a sheet feeding apparatus including a first feeding member that feeds at least one of the sheets from a discharge tray; a second feeding member that feeds the sheet fed by the first feeding member; a separating member, wherein a nip portion is formed between the separating member and the second feeding member, and when two sheets are entered the nip portion, the separating member separates one of the entered sheets from the other; an adjusting unit that changes a force of the separating member; a detecting unit that detects at least one of a distance by which the other of the entered sheets is transported beyond the nip portion and an advancing speed of the other of the entered sheets at the nip portion; and a controller that controls the adjusting unit based on a detection value of the detecting unit.

A gear mechanism provides for intermittent drive operation with precision stop location of angular position of one (driven) gear driven by another (drive) gear which is accomplished by increasing the precision of the distance maintained between the rotational centers of the gears so that a stabilized and precision amount of gear engagement is provided between both gears resulting in a precise amount of rotation imparted to the driven gear per revolution of the drive gear. The precisions of the distant between the gear rotational centers is accomplished by engagement of circumferential surfaces of corresponding cylindrical portions on each gear or provided on associated gears in the gear train of the gear mechanism.

This sheet multifeed determination device is capable of accurately detecting a sheet multifeed state, and the sheet multifeed determination device includes: a separating member side sheet speed detecting part which detects a transport speed of a sheet surface on the separating member side of a sheet transported to a nip unit of a paper feed roll and a separating member pressure-contacting mutually; a multifeed sheet detecting part which detects presence of plural sheets in the course of being transported through the nip unit; and a multifeed state determination part which determines not to be in a multifeed state of sheets when the sheet speed detected by the separating member side sheet speed detecting part is V2≦0 and determines to be in the multifeed state of sheets in the case of V2>0 in a condition where the multifeed sheet detecting part detects multifed sheets.

A sheet feeding apparatus includes a transport unit that transports a recording sheet from a storage unit, a separation unit, when stacked plural recording sheets are transported by the transport unit, separates a first recording sheet from the other recording sheets, and a push-back unit that can pivot from a separation action point to an end point of the storage unit and that pushes back ends of the other recording sheets to the storage unit during transport of the first recording sheet by applying to the other recording sheets a larger force in the direction opposite to the transport direction than a force applied to the other recording sheets in the transport direction, at a same time by applying to the first recording sheet a smaller force in the direction opposite to the transport direction than a force applied to the first recording sheet in the transport direction.
