Abstract:
A sheet feeding apparatus includes a sheet storage portion, a sheet supporting member that is liftable, and a damper mechanism including a resistance member and a movable portion movable by abutting against a body of the apparatus. The damper mechanism resists, at least temporarily, relative movement of the movable portion and the sheet storage portion by applying resistive force produced by the resistance member to the movable portion in a case where the sheet storage portion is inserted to the body, and resists, at least temporarily, lowering movement of the sheet supporting member by applying resistive force produced by the resistance member to the sheet supporting portion in a case where the sheet storage portion with the sheet supporting member having been lifted by the lift portion is drawn out of the body.

Claim (Index 7):
The sheet feeding apparatus according to  claim 2 ,\n further comprising an urging member configured to urge the movable portion in a movable direction of the movable portion, wherein the movable portion is movable to a first position and a second position, is positioned at the first position by urging force of the urging member, and is positioned at a second position by being pressed by the body in a state where the sheet storage portion is inserted to the body, wherein the damper mechanism is brought to the first state if the movable portion is at the first position and the sheet supporting member is at the lower position, and is brought to the second state if the movable portion is at the first position and the sheet supporting member is at the upper position, and wherein the urging member is configured to move the movable portion from the second position to the first position before the sheet supporting member reaches the lower position in a case where the sheet storage portion with the sheet supporting member at the upper position is drawn out of the body.
