Abstract

A sheet feeding device includes a cover, a pickup roller, a feed roller, a separator, a guide, and a receiving base. The cover includes a stacking portion on which sheets are stacked and a pivot shaft about which the cover is pivotable to open and close a body of the sheet feeding device. The pickup roller abuts against an upper face of a sheet of the sheets and feeds the sheet. The feed roller abuts against the upper face of the sheet fed from the pickup roller and feeds the sheet. The separator faces the feed roller to separate the sheet from the sheets. The guide guides the sheet fed from the feed roller. The receiving base holds the separator and includes a swing shaft swingably supported by the guide. When viewed from an axial direction of the swing shaft, the swing shaft overlaps with the cover opened.
