Abstract
The present invention provides a sheet supplying apparatus with a feeding device for feeding out sheets tacked on a stacking tray, a separator for separating the sheets fed out by the feeding device one by one and for conveying the separated sheet, a drive device for driving the separator and the feeding device, sheet conveyer for conveying the sheet separated by the separator at a speed faster than a conveying speed of the separator, a rotation controller for transmitting one direction rotation of the drive device to a drive shaft of the drive device to cause the separation and conveyance of the sheet and for interrupting the transmission of the one direction rotation to the drive shaft so that the separator is driven by the movement of the sheet due to the difference in conveying speed thereby causing such interruption by the driven movement of the separator, support for supporting the feeding device for shifting movement between a sheet convey position and a non-convey position and for shifting the feeding device to the sheet convey position, and a retractor for retracting the feeding device to the non-convey position when the one direction rotation to the drive shaft is interrupted.
