Abstract:
A sheet feeding apparatus includes a sheet supporting portion including a supporting surface, an abutment portion against which a leading edge of the sheet abuts, a feeding rotator configured to feed the sheet, a first friction member provided on the supporting surface so as to face the feeding rotator, the first friction member including a first friction surface having a static friction coefficient greater than that of the supporting surface, a trailing end supporting portion configured to support a trailing end portion of the sheet curved upward, and a second friction member disposed upstream of the first friction member in the sheet feeding direction on the supporting surface, the second friction member including a second friction surface which has a static friction coefficient greater than that of the supporting surface and is configured to be in contact with the sheet supported by the supporting surface.

Claim (Index 7):
The sheet feeding apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein the first tray comprises a first surface disposed under the feeding rotator and inclined downward toward the abutment portion and a second surface disposed upstream of the first surface in the sheet feeding direction and inclined downward toward the abutment portion with an inclination angle smaller than that of the first surface, and\n the second friction member is disposed on a side, close to the first surface, of the second surface.
