Sheet feeding device

A sheet feeding device, comprising:

• a sheet feeding mechanism to convey a sheet in a sheet feeding path;
• and
• an image processor to process an image formed on one of a first surface and a second surface of the sheet being conveyed in the sheet feeding path,
• wherein the sheet feeding mechanism includes a base structure, a first roller arranged in a position along the feeding path, and a second roller arranged in a position along the feeding path on a downstream side with respect to the first roller;
• wherein the first roller includes a first shaft, which is rotatably supported by the base structure at each axial end thereof, and a first roller body fixed to the first shaft;
• wherein the first roller is configured to feed the sheet to the sheet feeding path by rotating the first roller body in contact with the sheet along with the first shaft, and the second roller is configured to convey the sheet in the sheet feeding path by rotating the second roller body in contact with the sheet along with the second shaft;
• wherein the first roller and the second roller are connected with each other by a connector member, which rotatably supports the first shaft and the second shaft and maintains positional relation of the first shaft and the second shaft with respect to each other;
• wherein the sheet feeding mechanism includes a separator pad, which applies friction force to the second surface of the sheets in the sheet feeding path, in a position opposite from the first roller across the sheet feeding path;
• and
• wherein the connector member is formed to have a guiding edge, which extends along the sheet feeding path and is contactable with the first surface of the sheet, on a side facing the sheet feeding path when the connector member is assembled to hold the first shaft and the second shaft.
