Sheet feeding apparatus and image forming apparatus

A sheet feeding apparatus comprising:

• an apparatus body;
• an opening/closing member supported on the apparatus body and configured to open and close with respect to the apparatus body;
• a sheet support supported on the opening/closing member and configured to support a sheet in a state where the opening/closing member is positioned at an open position where the opening/closing member is opened with respect to the apparatus body;
• a rotary feeding member provided on the apparatus body and configured to feed the sheet supported on the sheet support in a feeding direction;
• a first engagement member provided in the apparatus body;
• and
• a second engagement member provided on a downstream end portion of the sheet support in the feeding direction, the second engagement member being configured to engage with the first engagement member in a vertical direction that intersects an axial direction of the rotary feeding member in a state where the opening/closing member is positioned at the open position,
• wherein the rotary feeding member is lowered toward the sheet supported on the sheet support in a case where the opening/closing member is positioned at the open position,
• the sheet support comprises a supporting surface configured to support the sheet, and
• the opening/closing member comprises a regulator configured to regulate a position of the sheet support in a normal direction of the supporting surface.
