Abstract
A paper feeding device having a supporting member for supporting recording paper thereon, and at least one width regulating member which is provided on the supporting member and freely movable in a direction perpendicular to a paper transporting direction. A slide portion provided on the width regulating member is adapted to slide along a guide surface formed on the supporting member. A width regulating surface on the width regulating member intended to contact with the recording paper is so disposed as to deviated in the transporting direction from the slide portion. When a recording paper in process of conveyance happens to swerve and pressingly contact with the width regulating surface, the width regulating member is made to generate moment and is consequently prevented from sliding due to the swerve of the recording paper.
