Abstract
A sheet feeding device includes a sheet accommodation portion that accommodates piled sheets, and a guide formed by bending a plate-shaped member and having an abutting surface that abuts on the piled sheets so as to restrict a position of the piled sheets. An inclined surface is formed in a top end portion of the abutting surface. Preferably, one or more than one protruding strip is provided to the guide on a surface on a side where the abutting surface is formed along a direction in which the sheets are inserted into the sheet accommodation portion.
