摘要： This invention relates to a sheet feeding apparatus having sheet carrying device unit for carrying sheets suspended by suspending unit, which is taken up by winding unit and thereby moves the sheet carrying device up and down to render the sheets fed from the topmost side of the sheets. Connection positions between the suspending unit and the sheet carrying device are located, in a direction perpendicular to a feeding direction of the sheets, at positions on a side of the sheet reference which is one end in the direction perpendicular to the feeding direction of the sheets, closer to the center of the sheets with respect to a position of a suspending original point of the suspending unit located over the sheet carrying device. The other connection positions between the suspending unit and the sheet carrying device are located, in a direction perpendicular to a feeding direction of the sheets, at a position on a side opposite to the side of the sheet reference, remote from the center of the sheets with respect to a position of a suspending original point of the suspending unit located over the sheet carrying device.

摘要： In a fixing device, a limitation member for preventing the center distance between a heating member and a shaft of a pressing roller from being reduced does not limit the center distance in an initial state of the device, and prevents a further decrease in the distance when the distance is reduced. It is thereby possible to suppress an increase in the width of a nip portion provided between the heating member and the pressing roller, and to prevent a failure in fixing.
