Sheet feeding device and image forming apparatus

A sheet feeding device, comprising:

• a sheet supporting unit configured to support a sheet;
• a sheet feeding unit configured to feed the sheet supported on the sheet supporting unit in a feeding direction;
• and
• a regulating member that is provided to be movable in a width direction intersecting the feeding direction and configured to regulate a position of the sheet supported on the sheet supporting unit in the width direction,
• wherein the regulating member includes a supporting surface portion on which the sheet is placed, and a regulation surface portion provided continuously with the supporting surface portion and configured to abut on an end portion of the sheet in the width direction to regulate the position of the sheet in the width direction,
• wherein the supporting surface portion includes a supporting surface pattern portion including an end portion of the supporting surface portion on a side of the regulation surface portion and having a pattern formed on the entire supporting surface pattern portion, and
• wherein the regulation surface portion includes a regulation surface plain portion including an end portion of the regulation surface portion on a side of the supporting surface portion and being entirely plain.
