ABSTRACT:
A sheet feeding arrangement has a main body and a width direction. A sheet passage extends in a main body of the arrangement like a letter "U" in a direction perpendicular to the width direction of the arrangement. The "U" of the passage has a predetermined width in the width direction of the arrangement. A sheet feeding shaft is supported inside the "U" of the sheet passage and extends in the width direction of the arrangement. The sheet feeding shaft has a drive roller fixedly mounted thereon. The drive roller partly extends into the sheet passage to be able to contact a sheet in the sheet passage. A motor is connected with the sheet feeding shaft for driving the shaft to feed the sheet by the drive roller. A speed reduction mechanism is provided between the motor and the sheet feeding shaft to transmit drive power from the motor to the shaft with a reduced speed. The sheet feeding shaft and the speed reduction mechanism are united with the motor to form a sheet feeding unit, and the sheet feeding unit is confined inside the "U" of the sheet passage. The sheet feeding unit can be designed to be compact in the width direction of the sheet feeding arrangement so that an overall dimension of the sheet feeding arrangement can also be reduced.
