Abstract
A sheet feeding apparatus includes a first supporting portion movable between a closed position and an open position supporting a sheet, an interlocking portion to move the first supporting portion from the closed position to the open position when a cover is opened, and a second supporting portion. A feed portion feeds a sheet supported by the first and second supporting portions in a sheet feeding direction. A moving angle of the first supporting portion moving from the closed position to the open position is smaller than a moving angle of the cover moving from the closed position to the open position, and the first supporting portion includes an upstream end portion and a downstream end portion. In a state where the cover and first supporting portion are open, the upstream end portion is further from an exterior surface of the cover than the downstream end portion.
