Sheet feed apparatus and recording apparatus equipped with sheet feed apparatus

A recording apparatus which performs recording on a sheet by a recording head, comprising:

• a head mounting means for mounting said recording head;
• sheet stacking means for stacking the sheets, said sheet stacking means being able to be installed in and released from a main body of said sheet feed apparatus;
• a sheet feed roller for feeding the sheets stacked on said sheet stacking means;
• and
• plural inclined plane members, disposed at the end of the downstream side of a sheet feed direction of said sheet stacking means, for coming into contact with the sheets fed by said sheet feed roller to separate them,
• wherein, among said plural inclined plane members, the height of the inclined plane member corresponding to said sheet feed roller is set to be lower than the height of the other inclined plane members.

A sheet feed apparatus comprising:

• sheet stacking means for stacking sheets;
• a sheet feed roller for feeding the sheets stacked on said sheet stacking means;
• plural inclined plane members, disposed at the end of the downstream side of a sheet feed direction of said sheet stacking means, for coming into contact with the sheets fed by said sheet feed roller to separate them;
• and
• a reversal roller for reversing the sheet fed by said sheet feed roller, wherein said reversal roller has plural roller units, said roller units come into contact with the sheet, and said roller units are disposed at a position opposed to a surface, provided between said inclined plane members, made lower in height than that of said inclined plane member.
