Abstract:
A sheet feeding apparatus includes a rotary pick-up member, a rotary feed member and a separation member. A holding member holds the rotary pick-up member rotatably and is configured to swing on a swing axis positioned upstream from a rotation axis of the rotary pick-up member in a sheet feeding direction. A rotary driving member is on the swing axis of the holding member. A drive transmission portion is supported by the holding member and is configured to transmit (i) rotation of the rotary driving member to the rotary pick-up member in delivering the sheet from a sheet stacking portion toward a separation portion and (ii) rotation of the rotary pick-up member rotated by the sheet to the rotary driving member in conveying the sheet by the rotary feed member after a leading edge of the sheet in the sheet feeding direction has reached the separation portion.

Claim (Index 11):
The sheet feeding apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the drive transmission portion includes a rotary intermediate member configured to rotate on an axis parallel to the swing axis of the holding member and the rotation axis of the rotary pick-up member, and\n wherein the rotary intermediate member is disposed so that\n in delivering the sheet stacked on the sheet stacking portion toward the separation portion, the rotary driving member rotating in the first rotational direction rotates the rotary intermediate member such that force in the first rotational direction is exerted on the holding member, and \n in conveying the sheet after a leading edge of the sheet in the sheet feeding direction has reached the separation portion, the rotary intermediate member rotates the rotary driving member in the first rotational direction while receiving reaction force from the rotary driving member such that force in a second rotational direction opposite to the first rotational direction is exerted on the holding member.
