In a sheet feeder of the present invention, a groove-shaped concave
provided on an inner surface of a bearing extends therethrough in a
direction where a rotational shaft of a feed roller extends. A surface of
the rotational shaft of the feed roller is supported on a pair of outer
edges of the groove-shaped concave formed on the inner surface of the
bearing. A bottom of the groove-shaped concave is substantially
circular-arc and concentric with the inner surface of the bearing other
than the groove-shaped concave. The bottom of the groove-shaped concave
is formed at such a depth that the surface of the rotational shaft of the
feed roller does not contact the bottom while the rotational shaft of the
feed roller is supported on the outer edges of the groove-shaped concave.
