A sheet conveying apparatus comprising:

• a storage unit configured to store a sheet;
• a rotation member unit detachable from the sheet conveying apparatus, the rotation member unit including:
• (i) a conveyance rotation member configured to convey a sheet,
• (ii) a feeding rotation member, arranged on an upstream side from the conveyance rotation member in a sheet conveyance direction, configured to feed the sheet stored in the storage unit to the conveyance rotation member, and
• (iii) a holding member including an engaging portion for engaging with an engaged portion provided to the sheet conveying apparatus and configured to hold the conveyance rotation member and the feeding rotation member;
• a supporting shaft configured to support one end side of the rotation member unit in an axial direction of the conveyance rotation member;
• a moving shaft configured to support the other end side of the rotation member unit in the axial direction and be able to move to a first position for supporting the rotation member unit together with the supporting shaft and a second position further apart from the supporting shaft than the first position in the axial direction;
• a locking unit configured to lock the moving shaft at the second position with respect to the sheet conveying apparatus;
• and
• an urging member configured to urge the engaged portion to urge the rotation member unit toward the storage unit by the engaged portion being urged by the urging member toward the storage unit in a state in which the engaging portion engages with the engaged portion,
• wherein, by the rotation member unit being moved to a position at which the rotation member unit is not supported by the supporting shaft in the axial direction, the moving shaft is locked at the second position by the locking unit after moving from the first position to the second position, and the rotation member unit is held by the engaged portion in a state in which the engaging portion engages with the engaged portion.
