The present invention relates to a sheet feed device comprising a door for supporting
one of the rollers of a feed roller pair for feeding a sheet, mounted on the apparatus
main body so as to be opened or closed on the one end part side in the roller pair
axis direction such that the one roller is pressured against the other roller of
the feed roller pair provided in the apparatus main body at the time the door is
closed, comprising: an outer door supported rotatably on the apparatus main body
on the one side end part side in the feed roller pair axis direction; an inner
door for supporting one of the rollers of the feed roller pair, supported rotatably
with respect to the outer door on the one side end part side in the one roller
axis direction. The one roller of the feed roller pair is separated with respect
to the other roller at the time of opening the outer door, and thereafter the inner
door is rotated while maintaining the angle with respect to the outer door according
to the rotation of the outer door.
