ABSTRACT:
A sheet feeding device adapted to separate a single sheet from a stack of sheets and forward the separated sheet away from the stack for subsequent processing. The apparatus includes a feed belt disposed adjacent one edge of the stack for contact with the lead edge of the top sheet in the stack to separate the sheet therefrom. Gate means biased into engagement with the feed belt provide a forward stop for the sheet stack, actuation of the feed belt causing the top sheet in the stack to be forced between the low friction upper surface of the gate means and the feed belt to move the top sheet off from the stack, the biased gate means preventing passage of multiple sheets by the feed means.
