  • Patent number: 10545449
    Abstract: A feeding apparatus comprises a locking unit for locking a connected state between an image forming apparatus and the feeding apparatus; an operating unit to which a force is applied in a separating direction in order to separate the feeding apparatus from the image forming apparatus and configured to perform an unlocking operation of unlocking the locking unit by being operated upon application of the force in the separating direction; and a handgrip unit provided at a position different from a position of the operating unit and to which a force is applied in the separating direction in order to separate the feeding apparatus from the image forming apparatus. The handgrip unit extends in a second horizontal direction perpendicular to a first horizontal direction and is arranged at a position at least partially overlapping a position where the operating unit is arranged with respect to the first horizontal direction.
