Abstract
A sheet feeding device that rotates a roll sheet supported by a holder portion to feed a sheet includes a holder portion that rotatably supports the roll sheet in which the sheet is wound, a first guide portion projecting from the holder portion in a projection direction corresponding to a front direction of the sheet feeding device, and a second guide portion facing the first guide portion and projecting from the holder portion in the projection direction to guide the roll sheet to the holder portion. In a gap between the first guide portion and the second guide portion and below the gap, a space that can be entered by a carrier that carries the roll sheet is formed.
Claims16
A sheet feeding device comprising:
- a holder portion that rotatably supports a roll sheet around which a sheet is wound;
- a first guide portion projecting from the holder portion in a projection direction corresponding to a front direction of the sheet feeding device to guide the roll sheet to the holder portion;
- a second guide portion facing the first guide portion and projecting from the holder portion in the projection direction to guide the roll sheet to the holder portion;
- an arm member configured to guide the sheet fed from the roll sheet supported by the holder portion;
- and
- a contact member configured to come into contact, from below with respect to a gravity direction, with an outer peripheral surface of the roll sheet supported by the holder portion and configured to be moved by the arm member according to an outer diameter of the roll sheet,
- wherein, in a gap between the first guide portion and the second guide portion and below the gap, a space that can be entered by a carrier that carries the roll sheet is formed, and
- wherein the space is formed on a tip end side in the projection direction with respect to the contact member.
A recording apparatus comprising:
- a sheet feeding device;
- and
- a recording portion that performs a recording operation on a sheet fed out from the sheet feeding device,
- wherein the sheet feeding device includes:
- a holder portion that rotatably supports a roll sheet around which a sheet is wound;
- a first guide portion projecting from the holder portion in a projection direction corresponding to a front direction of the sheet feeding device to guide the roll sheet to the holder portion;
- a second guide portion facing the first guide portion and projecting from the holder portion in the projection direction to guide the roll sheet to the holder portion;
- an arm member configured to guide the sheet fed from the roll sheet supported by the holder portion;
- and
- a contact member configured to come into contact, from below with respect to a gravity direction, with an outer peripheral surface of the roll sheet supported by the holder portion and configured to be moved by the arm member according to an outer diameter of the roll sheet,
- wherein, in a gap between the first guide portion and the second guide portion and below the gap, a space that can be entered by a carrier that carries the roll sheet is formed, and
- wherein the space is formed on a tip end side in the projection direction with respect to the contact member.
