Original Abstract Submitted
A sheet feeding apparatus includes an accommodating unit, and a conveyance unit. The conveyance unit includes a first guide member, a second guide member, walls on both sides, a conveyance roller, and a first cover. The walls on both sides are arranged on both sides of the first guide member and the second guide member in a width direction perpendicular to a sheet conveyance direction. Together with the first guide member and the second guide member, the walls on both sides forms a space of a conveyance path through which a sheet is conveyed. The conveyance roller is disposed to project toward the conveyance path via a first opening of the first guide member and conveys the sheet in the conveyance path. The first cover encloses the space of the conveyance path in such a manner that the first cover covers the first opening and the conveyance roller.
