Provided are an apparatus for feeding sheets, booklets or the like having a wider adjustable range according to the thickness of the object than the conventional apparatus, and a system for sorting forwarding documents with the foregoing feeding apparatus. In the feeding apparatus 100, a moving shaft 20 is supported by a fixed sleeve 11 so as to be movable upward and downward. A main compression coil spring 25 is located between the moving shaft 20 and the fixed sleeve 11 and imparts a main spring force to the moving shaft 20 in order that an overlap feed limiting member 30 is pressed against a conveying belt 63. A sub compression coil spring 26 imparts an oppositely directed sub spring force to the moving shaft 20. A position of a pressing washer 23B is displaced downward by a threading engagement of an upper end adjusting bolt 23A, so that even when the spring force of the main compression coil spring 25 is increased, an increased amount is cancelled by an increase in the spring force of the sub compression coil spring 26. |
