Abstract
A sheet feeding device according to this invention includes a bearing support member and a lever member. The bearing support member is supported in the sheet feeding device for movement between a sheet feeding position and a separated position. The lever member is pivotally movable about a bearing portion between a first position which causes the bearing support member to be positioned in the sheet feeding position while causing the bearing portion to be supported by the bearing support member, a second position which causes the bearing support member to be positioned in the separated position while causing the bearing portion to be supported by the bearing support member and a third position which causes the bearing support member to be positioned in the separated position while allowing the bearing portion to be detached from the bearing support member.
