Abstract
A sheet member supply device () of an image forming apparatus () includes a sheet member stacking plate () in which sheet members (S) are stacked on the upper surface, a pickup roller () which makes contact with, from above, the uppermost layer of the sheet members (S) stacked on the sheet member stacking plate (), a stacking plate displacement mechanism () which displaces the sheet member stacking plate () upward, a motive power transmission mechanism () which transmits motive power obtained from a drive source () to the stacking plate displacement mechanism () and a paradox planetary gear mechanism () which is provided in the motive power transmission mechanism (). In this way, with a simple configuration, it is possible to reduce the unintentional downward displacement of the stacking plate.
