Abstract:
A sheet feeding apparatus includes a support member having a support surface, a feed roller rotatable about a rotation axis located below a portion of the support surface, a separation roller disposed downstream from the feed roller, a separator disposed upstream from the separation roller, a stopper, when viewed in a direction of the rotation axis, disposed at least partially overlapping the separator and movable between a first position in which the stopper crosses the support surface and restricts leading edges of the sheets supported on the support surface and a second position, downstream from the first position in a conveying direction, in which the stopper is spaced apart from the support surface, and a restriction member configured to hold the stopper in the first position and to restrict movement of the stopper while continuing to support the stopper moving from the first position to the second position.

Claim (Index 3):
The sheet feeding apparatus according to  claim 2 ,\n wherein, when viewed in the direction of the rotation axis, a first x-axis and a first y-axis are provided to define four quadrants, the first x-axis having the first axis as a first origin and extending parallel to the support surface, the first y-axis being orthogonal to the first x-axis and passing through the first origin, a portion of the first x-axis upstream from the first origin in the conveying direction and a portion of the first y-axis upward from the first origin defining a second quadrant of the four quadrants, and wherein the second quadrant includes a support point at which the restriction member supports the stopper.
