ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a sheet loading device, which comprises a sheet tray adapted to place thereon a sheet stack consisting of a plurality of stacked sheets, a pair of side fences disposed on the side on a top surface of the sheet tray to sandwich the sheet stack therebetween in a direction orthogonal to a sheet loading direction, a pair of racks attached to respective ones of the pair of side fences and disposed on the side of a bottom surface of the sheet tray to extend in mutually opposed directions of the pair of side fences, and a pinion adapted to be rotated about a pinion shaft penetrating the sheet tray and engaged with the racks. The pinion has a first surface opposite to the bottom surface of the sheet tray, and a second surface located on the opposite side of the first surface and provided coaxially with a flange having a diameter greater than that of an engaged portion of the pinion. Each of the racks has a concave portion formed in a bottom surface of an end thereof on the side of the associated side fence and adapted to allow the flange to be fitted therein.
