ABSTRACT:
A sheet feeder including at least a pair of variable outer diameter rollers and having a compact, simple and long life construction. The variable outer diameter roller includes a generally cylindrical pipe having four equally spaced penetrating holes radially disposed in its cylindrical wall, a sealing means having a diaphragm positioned adjacent each of the penetrating holes and fitted to the pipe support, and sliders forming a roller peripheral face fitted into each penetrating hole to be able to slide smoothly. Each slider is moved by diaphragms in a direction so the roller outer diameter expands by compressed air supplied through a fluid supply passage in a rotary axle which supports the roller. Exhausting the compressed air causes the roller outer diameter to decrease and restores the roller to its original size.
