Abstract
A sheet feeding apparatus which is used for front-loading type copy machines and the like, adapted to store laterally two kinds of sheets either of different sizes and/or of different storing directions in one cassette. The two kinds of sheets are taken out selectively and separately and fed to the copying machine assembly. In a preferred embodiment, the two kinds of sheets are stored in a storing device and each kind is taken out from an opposite side thereof. The sheet-feeding apparatus when used with an image forming apparatus provides for multifunctions such as multiple copying and double-face copying.
