    摘要: A sheet handling device includes a shaft, a roller, and a joint. The roller is detachably attached on an end portion of the shaft. The joint is mounted on the end of the shaft and has a claw at a tip of the joint. The claw of the joint is configured to position the roller in a thrust direction along the shaft while an inner circumferential surface of the roller is in contact with an outer circumferential surface of the shaft. The inner circumferential surface of the roller has a cylindrical shape.

    摘要: A sheet container includes a sheet loader, a pair of sheet regulators, a pressing member, and a pressing force adjusting device. The sheet loader is movable in a vertical direction and configured to load a sheet. The pair of sheet regulators is configured to regulate a position in a width direction of the sheet loaded on the sheet loader. The pressing member is disposed on at least one of the pair of sheet regulators and configured to press a lateral end face of the sheet, toward another one of the pair of sheet regulators in the width direction of the sheet. The pressing force adjusting device is configured to adjust pressing force generated by the pressing member to the sheet while maintaining a state in which the pressing member applies the pressing force to the sheet.

    摘要: A sheet feeder includes a stacker to stack sheets and a separation and conveyance device to separate one sheet from the sheets fed from the stacker and convey the sheets one by one. The separation and conveyance device includes a feed roller that rotates in a direction to feed the sheet and a separation roller to press against the feed roller via the sheet. The separation roller has an apparent hardness different from an apparent hardness of the feed roller and is configured to form an indentation in the feed roller.
