Zusammenfassung: | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a highly reliable sheet feeder capable of lessening a charge pitch, and of surely at high speed, feeding sheets one by one from a sheet bundle loaded on a sheet loading member even in various sheet types stabilizing with respect to environmental and time-lapse variations, and to provide an image formation device comprising the sheet feeder.SOLUTION: A sheet feeder comprises a paper feeding cassette 15, an endless belt 2 and a charging roller 1, and a sheet S1 is adsorbed and fed by the endless belt 2. The charging roller 1 and the endless belt 2 form a nip part 72, and the micro-gaps G which impart a prescribed charge on the surface of the endless belt 2 by an electric discharge at the upstream and downstream sides of the nip part 72 in a circumferential movement direction. The sheet feeder is configured so that the basic charge width H joined a nip width and the width of the micro-gap G in the upstream and downstream sides of the nip part 72 is smaller than the charge width W with respect to the circumferential movement direction of an identically polar charge charged on the surface of the endless belt 2 in the downstream side of the nip part 72 in the circumferential movement direction.
【課題】帯電ピッチを小さくすることができ、多様なシート種においても、シート積載部材に積載されたシート束から環境変動や経時変動に対して安定し、かつ高速で確実に1枚ずつ給送することができる信頼性の高いシート給送装置およびシート給送装置を備えた画像形成装置を提供すること。【解決手段】給紙カセット15と、無端状ベルト2と、帯電ローラ1と、を備え、無端状ベルト2によりシートS1を吸着して給送し、帯電ローラ1と無端状ベルト2は、ニップ部72と、周回移動方向のニップ部72の上流側と下流側に、放電により無端状ベルト2の表面に所定の電荷を与える微小空隙Gと、を形成し、ニップ幅とニップ部72の上流側と下流側の微小空隙Gの幅とを合わせた基本帯電幅Hが、ニップ部72よりも周回移動方向の下流側の、無端状ベルト2の表面に帯電される同一の極性の電荷の周回移動方向に対する帯電幅Wよりも小さく構成されている。【選択図】図15 |
