Sheet feeding apparatus and image forming apparatus

摘要

A sheet feeding apparatus includes a conveyance guide member provided in an apparatus body and having a reference plane against which a sheet widthwise side edge orthogonal to a sheet feeding direction abuts. The reference plane is provided upstream in the feed direction of a downstream end in the feed direction of the sheet stacked on the stacking member in a state in which the sheet feed cassette is attached to the attachment position of the apparatus body and is provided under, in terms of a vertical direction, an uppermost sheet stacked on the stacking member in the state in which the sheet feed cassette is attached to the attachment position of the apparatus body.

1. A sheet feeding apparatus, comprising:
an apparatus body; a sheet feed cassette provided attachably/drawably to/out of the apparatus body; a stacking member, provided in the sheet feed cassette, on which a sheet is stacked; a feed member configured to feed the sheet stacked on the stacking member in a condition in which the sheet feed cassette is attached at an attachment position of the apparatus body; a conveying member configured to convey the sheet fed by the feed member obliquely with respect to a feed direction in which the feed member feeds the sheet; and a conveyance guide member provided in the apparatus body and having a reference plane against which a side edge, in a width direction orthogonal to the feed direction, of the sheet obliquely conveyed by the conveying member abuts, the reference plane being provided upstream, in the feed direction, of a downstream end of the sheet stacked on the stacking member in a state in which the sheet feed cassette is attached to the attachment position of the apparatus body and is provided, in terms of a vertical direction, under an uppermost sheet stacked on the stacking member in the state in which the sheet feed cassette is attached to the attachment position of the apparatus body, wherein the sheet feed cassette is provided so as to be attachable/drawable in the width direction orthogonal to the feeding direction, and wherein a notch is provided on the reference plane and a vertical wall restricting a widthwise end portion of the sheet is provided at a position coincident with the notch.
