At the same time, the fan-shaped gear (50) rotates in the direction of arrow (a) until it comes into contact with the stopper (61), and the bottom plate (19) falls into the bottom of the paper feed container (10). This releases the contact between the top surface of the paper (P) and the pickup roller (30).

In the above configuration, when the final stage reduction gear (57c) meshes with the sector gear (50) and pushes up the bottom plate (19) with the push-up arm (31), the push-up arm (31)
The weight of the paper (P) and the bottom plate (19) acts on this, and this load acts as a force to return the fan-shaped gear (50) in the direction of the arrow (a), causing a gap between it and the final stage reduction gear (57c). There is a risk that so-called tooth skipping may occur. However, in this embodiment, the meshing position of the sector gear (50) and the reduction gear (57c) is between the support shaft (5I) of the sector gear (50) and the support shaft (28) of the plate (53). The final stage reduction gear (57c) is biased in the direction of meshing with the sector gear (50) under a load that prevents the sector gear (50) from rotating in the direction of the arrow (a). Since the structure is such that the teeth are not skipped, tooth skipping does not occur. This means that when the two are engaged, the push-up unit (52) always receives a biasing force in the direction opposite to the arrow (a) using the support shaft (28) as a fulcrum, thereby maintaining the engaged state. Therefore, it is not necessary to bias the push-up unit (52) in the direction opposite to the arrow (a) using means such as a spring, and the reason why the temporary spring (17) contacts the pin (55) is due to the reduction gear ( 57c) is engaged with the fan-shaped gear (50) only at the beginning, and after the engagement, the pin (55) is separated from the temporary spring (17). Also,
When the paper feed container (10) moves away from the paper feed position, the push-up unit (52) is urged downward by the pin (55) or the cam plate (1G), and then the plate (53) is attached as a stopper. (60
) by its own weight in the direction of arrow (a). Therefore, when the paper feed container (!0) is attached to and removed from the paper feed position, the force that operates the push-up unit (52) is only the force that rotates the push-up unit (52) near the approximately vertical position. Well, it's significantly reduced.

In addition, the sector gear (50) of the final stage reduction gear (57c)
In order to ensure the engagement with the push-up unit 1-(52) and to further reduce the rotational force of the push-up unit 1-(52) caused by the leaf spring (17), the push-up unit (52) itself is moved in the direction indicated by the arrow (a) by spring means.
) may be applied lightly in the opposite direction.

As is clear from the explanation in Section 2 of ``Details of the Invention'', the present invention provides a structure in which a paper supply section for feeding paper from the main body of a paper feeding device to the main body of an image forming apparatus such as a copying machine is separated from the main body of the paper feeding device. Since the adapter is removable from the loading slot of the paper feed horn set provided on the imager body, the paper supply section does not protrude from the paper feeder body as in the conventional case, and the packaging is easy. Positioning when attaching and detaching the apparatus main body to and from the image forming apparatus main body does not require much precision.
