Abstract
A sheet feeding apparatus includes an opening/closing unit including a stacking portion, a moving unit including a feed roller and a moving member supporting the feed roller, an urging portion, and a transmitting portion to transmit urging force of the urging portion to the moving member. The opening/closing unit presses and moves the moving unit in the second direction against the urging force while the opening/closing unit moves from the open position to the closed position. A force that the opening/closing unit receives from the moving unit in a state where the opening/closing unit is at the closed position is smaller than a maximum force that the opening/closing unit receives from the moving unit that is urged in the first direction by the urging portion while the opening/closing unit moves from the open position to the closed position.
