Abstract
A separating device includes a carrying-out portion for carrying-out a medium, and a conveying portion for conveying the medium carried out by the carrying-out portion. A separating portion is provided between the carrying-out portion and the conveying portion, and is rotatable about a rotation fulcrum. The separating portion has an end portion separably contacts the carrying-out portion to separate the medium therefrom. The separating portion includes a first guiding portion rotatably provided for guiding the medium separated from the carrying-out portion to the conveying portion. The first guiding portion is provided between the carrying-out portion and the conveying portion, and has a rotation center located on the carrying-out portion side with respect to the rotation fulcrum. When a straight line is defined by connecting contact areas of the carrying-out portion and the conveying portion, the rotation center is located on the straight line side with respect to the rotation fulcrum.
