摘要: A sheet feeding device includes a driving transmission member, a feeding unit, and a switching member. The feeding unit is detachable from the sheet feeding device and includes a driven transmission member that receives a driving force from the driving transmission member, a feeding member, and a holding member that holds the driven transmission member and the feeding member. The switching member abuts the holding member and moves the feeding member between a second position and a first position lowered from the second position. When the driving force is transmitted to the driven transmission member, the feeding unit is positioned to the sheet feeding device by receiving a positioning force in an attachment direction of the feeding unit. When the driving force is not transmitted to the driven transmission member, the feeding unit is regulated by the switching member in movement in a direction opposite to the attachment direction.

摘要: A sheet feeding device includes a stacking member, a feeding unit, and a detachable separation unit. The feeding unit feeds sheets stacked from the stacking member. The separation unit separates the fed sheets one by one. The separation unit includes a rotating member to abut and separate from the feeding unit and to rotate, a biasing member to bias the rotating member toward the feeding unit, and an engaged member to be engaged with an engagement member included in the sheet feeding device. The engagement member can move to a first position where the engagement member is engaged with the engaged member, and a second position away from the engaged member. Where the engagement member moves from the first to the second position when the separation unit is attached to the sheet feeding device, the separation unit moves in a detachment direction using the biasing member.

摘要: A feeding apparatus includes a feeding member, first and second conveying members, a separation member, and drive and control units. The feeding member feeds a recording material placed on a tray. The separation member and the first conveying member form a nip portion and separates recording materials at the nip portion. The second conveying member conveys a conveyed recording material. The drive unit drives at least the feeding member. The control unit controls to feed first and second recording materials such that a second recording material front edge passes the nip portion before a first recording material rear edge passes the nip portion, and controls to stop the second recording material after the second recording material front edge has passed the nip portion such that the first recording material rear edge reaches the second conveying member before the second recording material front edge reaches the second conveying member.

摘要: A sheet conveying device includes a third pivoting guide member located between a first pivoting guide member on a side of fixed guide members and a second pivoting guide member on a side of an opening/closing member. In a state in which an upstream conveying path and a re-conveying path are formed, the first pivoting guide member pivots toward the third pivoting guide member to expand the upstream conveying path when pushed by a sheet conveyed from the upstream conveying path, and the third pivoting guide member pivots toward the first pivoting guide member to expand the re-conveying path when pushed by a sheet conveyed from the re-conveying path.

摘要: A sheet conveying apparatus may comprise a first conveying roller configured to convey a sheet and a second conveying roller disposed on a downstream side of the first conveying roller in a conveyance direction of the sheet. In a case where the second conveying roller rotates at a first speed by a driving force being transmitted to the second conveying roller, the first conveying roller rotates by being driven with respect to the second conveying roller. In a case where the second conveying roller rotates at a second speed faster than the first speed by the driving force being transmitted to the second conveying roller, the first conveying roller rotates at the second speed.
