The present invention relates a sheet feeding apparatus with a lifting and lowering mechanism in a sheet deck 2, which includes abutting portions 101a to 101d which makes wire hanging portions 64a to 64d of a sheet stacking table 52 abut thereon and makes the sheet stacking table 52 lockable with respect to a storing portion 61. The mechanism also includes a pulse motor 27 and a one-way clutch 40. A controller 5 drives the pulse motor 27 to be rotated in a lifting direction of the sheet stacking table 52, further drives the pulse motor 27 to be rotated in the same direction even after the wire hanging portions 64a to 64d abut on the abutting portions 101a to 101d to cause the pulse motor 27 to step out, and renders the pulse motor 27 non-conductive. Thus, the wire hanging portions is locked to abut on the abutting portions.

When a retard roller is rotating in a sheet feeding direction, the rotation is transmitted to a pickup roller and the pickup roller rotates in a direction for conveying the sheet. When the retard roller is rotating in a direction opposite to the sheet feeding direction or is stationary, the pickup roller does not feed the sheet. Therefore, in a successive feeding operation, the sheet to be fed next is always conveyed such that the leading end thereof reaches a nip position between a feed roller and the retard roller. Therefore, the intervals between the sheets are uniform in the successive feeding operation.

A sheet feeding apparatus, in which a drive motor rotates a pickup roller, and a drive transmission portion provided between the drive motor and the pickup roller transmits a drive from the drive motor to the pickup roller. During sheet feeding, one of the drive motor and the drive transmission portion causes the pickup roller to perform an intermittent drive of iterating the drive and a stop, so that a sheet is gradually deflected between the pickup roller and separation claws.

A sheet feeding apparatus including: a separation claw for restraining both end portions of leading edges of sheets in a width direction orthogonal to a sheet feeding direction, the sheets having reached a sheet feeding position, and separating, one by one, the sheets fed by a pickup roller; and a photosensor detecting that the separation claw has reached a separation position for separating the sheets when a sheet stacking board is raised to detect that the sheets have reached the sheet feeding position, in which the separation claw, which is movable in an up-and-down direction, is moved to the separation position, the photosensor detects that the sheets supported by the sheet stacking board have reached the sheet feeding position of being feedable by the pickup roller, by rise of the sheet stacking board.

An image forming apparatus in which a sheet containing device containing a sheet is detachably attached to a containing portion provided in an apparatus main body includes an engagement portion provided on the sheet containing device, a drawing device provided in the containing portion to be rotatable using one end thereof as a pivot, and a guide device which, when the drawing device rotates to draw the sheet containing device, guides a movement of the engagement portion in a drawing direction. The guide device is composed of a linear portion parallel to a direction in which the sheet containing device is inserted, and a curved portion provided on a downstream side of the linear portion with respect to a direction in which the sheet containing device is attached, the curved portion being curved not to extend away from the pivot of the drawing device.

A main body of an image forming apparatus has an image forming section to which a sheet is fed from an optional sheet deck when it is coupled to the main body. The sheet fed from the sheet feeding device is received and then forwarded to the image forming section by a sheet conveyor unit which is demountably provided in the main body of the image forming apparatus and is formed of a frame, a pair of conveying rollers within the frame, and a guide.
