Abstract
A paper feed device for a copying machine has plate member for supporting a stack of sheets thereon, and separating pawls turnably supported for movement toward and away from the top sheet of the stack and for lightly pressing on each of the forward end corners of the stack when moved toward the stack to the limit of turning movement. The mounting structure for the separating pawls causes them to be displaced in a direction laterally away from the edge of the stack during the turning of the pawls away from the stack to a lifted position.
