Abstract
A sheet storage device includes a lift plate, a push-up member, a first gear, a second gear which meshes with the first gear, a transmission mechanism which includes a third gear that meshes with the second gear and a turning restriction member. The first gear includes a support portion. The turning restriction member includes: an annular portion which is slidable on the outer circumferential surface of the support portion in a direction of rotation; and a protrusion portion which protrudes outward in a radial direction from the annular portion to be able to engage with the second gear. The protrusion portion has a shape such that the protrusion portion cannot pass through a gap between the second gear and the annular portion and is located, relative to the gap, on a downstream side in a direction of rotation of the second gear caused by the power of a motor.
