<p>A sheet feeding apparatus as provided wherein the surface for supporting a stack of sheet material includes an inclined surface portion positioned between the leading edge of the stack and the feeding means. The inclined surface coacts with the feeding means to elevate the leading edge of the top most sheet away from the next adjacent sheet as it is fed from the stack. Preferably the sheet feeding apparatus comprises a reverse buckle type sheet feeder. The sheet feeding apparatus is adapted to elevate the leading edge of the top most sheet as it is being fed to thereby improve sheet separation and reduce jamming propensity.</p> |
