More Information
Summary:A sheet feeding apparatus is formed of a sheet supply device for feeding sheets drawn out from a sheet supply tray, a separating device for separating the sheets drawn out from the sheet supply tray, a transport device for transporting the sheets downstream, a transport path formed between the sheet supply device and the transport device and having first and second transport paths, and follower rotating bodies. The first transport path guides sheets fed from the sheets supply device in a substantially tangential direction of the nipping point, and the second transport path guides sheets from the first transport path toward the transport device after bending from the substantially tangential direction to the separating device. The follow rotating bodies are protrudingly arranged from the separating device in the transport path, between a curved portion extending from the first transport path to the second transport path and the nipping point.
