Abstract: A recording-medium feeding device includes a container, a separating mechanism, and a suppressing member. The container accommodates recording media. The separating mechanism includes a driving member, a separating member, and a torque limiter. The driving member comes into contact with and delivers an uppermost recording medium. The separating member separates the recording media one-by-one. When a rotational torque smaller than a predetermined rotational torque is applied to the torque limiter, the torque limiter repels a load of the rotational torque to inhibit rotation of the separating member. When a rotational torque larger than or equal to the predetermined rotational torque is applied to the torque limiter, the torque limiter allows the separating member to be rotationally driven in accordance with the load. The suppressing member suppresses receding movement of the recording media caused by reverse rotation of the separating member when the driving member stops.

Abstract: A glass article includes a glass plate including a rugged surface configured to diffuse and reflect an external light formed on at least one of main surfaces; and a functional film formed on the rugged surface. A transmission haze of the glass article is 28% or less. On a surface of the functional film opposite to the glass plate, within a region with a visual field area of 60000 ?m2 observed by using a laser microscope, a pore representative diameter is less than 12 ?m. An area ratio of a surface area A (?m2) of the surface of the functional film within the region to the visual field area (A/60000) is 1.02 or more and 1.07 or less.
