Abstract

See full text

A sheet feeding apparatus includes a tray swingably supported by an apparatus body through a link. A link support portion disposed in the apparatus body is engaged with a first end portion of the link. The link support portion includes first and second support parts respectively corresponding to first and second positions of the tray. The link support portion further includes a guide part along which the first end portion of the link moves between the first and second support parts. The guide part has a bent part between the first and second support parts so that a guiding direction in which the first end portion is guided from the first support part toward the bent part differs from a load direction in which the first end portion of the link applies load on the first support part in a case where the tray is positioned at the first position.
