A sheet feeding device includes a casing; a door rotatable relative to the casing; a tray configured to stack a sheet thereon and rotatable between a closed position where the tray is closed to the casing, a first open position where the tray opens relative to the casing at a first angle, and a second open position where the tray opens relative to the casing at a second angle larger than the first angle; and a sheet feeding unit provided in the casing and configured to feed the sheet stacked on the tray being in the first position. When the door is opened relative to the casing at an angle exceeding the first angle in a state in which the tray is in the first open position, the door moves the tray to the second open position.

PRINTING APPARATUS

A printing apparatus includes a stacking portion on which a print medium printed by a printing unit configured to perform printing is stacked, a discharge unit configured to discharge the print medium printed by the printing unit to the stacking portion, a passage forming portion arranged facing the stacking portion and configured to form a discharge passage of the print medium together with the stacking portion, and an outlet port located in a downstream end of the stacking portion and a downstream end of the passage forming portion in a conveying direction of the print medium. The passage forming portion includes an opening/closing portion which is displaceable between a closed position for forming the discharge passage and an open position for opening the stacking portion.

IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

An image forming apparatus includes a main body housing, an openable/closable part, a sheet feeding tray, an image forming device, a sheet feeding roller, a first coupling, a drive gear, a second coupling, a biasing member, and a link mechanism. The first coupling is provided in the sheet feeding roller. The second coupling is provided coaxially with the drive gear, rotatable following the drive gear, slidable relative to the drive gear in an axial direction and capable of fitting to the first coupling. The biasing member biases the second coupling to the first coupling to connect the second coupling to the first coupling. The link mechanism disconnects the second coupling from the first coupling against a biasing force of the biasing member so as to block a transmission of the drive force with an opening of the openable/closable part.
