A sheet feeding apparatus for feeding sheets is provided with a multi feed detecting section for detecting multi feed of conveyed sheets in a predetermined detection position of a conveyance path, and first and second discharge sections to which multi-fed sheets with the multi feed detected are discharged, and corresponding to one of a front end position of the multi-fed sheets at the time the multi feed detecting section detects the multi feed of sheets, a sheet storage state of the second discharge section, sheet storage states of the first and second discharge sections, a size of sheets and weighing, selects one of the first and second discharge sections to discharge the multi-fed sheets to the selected discharge section.

Sheet feeding apparatus

A sheet feeding apparatus includes: a storage part that stores a sheet, and a feeding part that has a feeding roller for feeding the sheet. The storage part and the feeding part are configured to be integrally inserted/withdrawn into/from an apparatus enclosure. The feeding roller is moved from a feeding position to a retracting position before the storage part and the feeding part are withdrawn from the enclosure.

A feeding apparatus comprises a locking unit for locking a connected state between an image forming apparatus and the feeding apparatus; an operating unit to which a force is applied in a separating direction in order to separate the feeding apparatus from the image forming apparatus and configured to perform an unlocking operation of unlocking the locking unit by being operated upon application of the force in the separating direction; and a handgrip unit provided at a position different from a position of the operating unit and to which a force is applied in the separating direction in order to separate the feeding apparatus from the image forming apparatus. The handgrip unit extends in a second horizontal direction perpendicular to a first horizontal direction and is arranged at a position at least partially overlapping a position where the operating unit is arranged with respect to the first horizontal direction.

Feeding apparatus and image forming system

A pressing apparatus configured to generate a force in a separating direction in which a first unit and a second unit being connected to each other are separated from each other, the pressing apparatus including: a pressing portion supported by the second unit to be turnable about a turn shaft and configured to press the first unit; and an urging portion configured to urge the pressing portion in a direction intersecting with the separating direction, wherein the pressing portion exerts the force on the first unit in the separating direction by an urging force of the urging portion in the direction intersecting with the separating direction.
