Abstract
A sheet feeding apparatus includes a sheet containing device for supporting sheets, a sheet supply device for feeding out the sheet from the sheet containing device, and a path surface for deflecting the sheet by abutting the sheet fed from the sheet supply device against the path surface to guide the sheet in a predetermined direction. In such sheet feeding apparatus, a rotary feeding device for applying a feeding force to the sheet by slidingly contacting with a surface of the sheet fed from the sheet supply device, which is opposite to a surface facing the path surface, is provided.
