Abstract: A sheet feed apparatus includes a sheet separation unit, and the sheet separation unit includes a separation roller that is provided so as to be brought into contact to an outer peripheral surface of a sheet feed roller, and separates a sheet fed by the sheet feed roller into one. The sheet separation unit comprises a hook for rotatably supporting the sheet separation unit in a main body casing of the sheet feed apparatus and an engaging claw that makes the sheet separation unit engage with the main body casing. Therefore, the sheet separation unit is held in the main body casing detachably.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus comprises a first apparatus and a second apparatus. A cable-side connector of an electrical cable extending from the second apparatus is connected to a first-apparatus-side connector provided in the first apparatus. The cable-side connector is provided on a side of the first apparatus. The image forming apparatus comprises an opening portion provided in the first apparatus and through which the cable-side connector is connectable to the first-apparatus-side connector from an outside of the first apparatus; a lid that covers the opening portion; an attaching portion provided on the lid so as to attach the lid to the first apparatus; an engaging portion provided on the lid so as to be disengageably engaged with the opening portion; an outlet portion provided on the lid and through which the electrical cable extends to the outside of the first apparatus; and an attachment member attached to the electrical cable.

Abstract: A sheet transporting device in which a curved transport path is provided downstream in a sheet transport direction from a merging section where a plurality of transport paths, which are formed by transport guides for transporting sheets, merge, is provided. The sheet transporting device includes a sheet guide member that extends towards the curved transport path from the merging section, with an extending end portion of the sheet guide member being disposed so as not to contact the transport guides. The sheet guide member reduces jumping up of a trailing end portion of a sheet caused by flexing of the sheet passing through the merging section towards the curved transport path.
