Abstract:
One aspect of the present invention provides a sheet feeding device and an image forming apparatus, in which a sheet can stably be separated and fed irrespective of stiffness of the sheet. A movable wall includes a sheet abutting surface that separates the sheet one by one by abutting on the sheet, which is stacked on a tray and fed by a feeding roller. The movable wall is movable in a sheet feeding direction, and a force applying spring applies a force to the movable wall in a direction opposite to the sheet feeding direction. A support portion supports the movable wall such that the movable wall is movable, and such that the movable wall is sloped when abutting on the sheet, which is fed by a feeding roller, and moving on a downstream side in the sheet feeding direction against an applying force of a force applying spring.
