Abstract
This sheet feeding device is provided with a fixed frame having a first feed roller, and a turning frame which, through rotation from a closed position to an open position, exposes a sheet feed path. The turning frame includes: a second feed roller with an integrally rotatable feed gear which forms a nip together with the first feed roller; a cleaning member configured to wipe the second feed roller; and a transmission gear. The fixed frame includes a fixed gear for engaging the transmission gear. The transmission gear, through turning of the turning frame to the open position, engages the feed gear, and rotates the second feed roller.
