Sheet conveying apparatus and image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• an image forming portion configured to form an image on a sheet;
• and
• a sheet conveying apparatus configured to convey the sheet, the sheet conveying apparatus comprising:
• a stacking unit drawably mounted on an apparatus body, the stacking unit comprising a stacking member on which the sheet is stacked;
• a feeding member configured to feed the sheet stacked on the stacking member;
• a conveyance guide forming a conveyance path through which the sheet is conveyed, the conveyance guide being disposed above the stacking unit and having an opening;
• and
• a movement unit configured to move the feeding member between a first position on which the feeding member comes into contact with the sheet stacked on the stacking member and a second position disposed above the first position, the movement unit comprising an entry portion configured to be located within the opening upon the feeding member being positioned at the second position,
• wherein the stacking unit comprises a contact portion,
• wherein the movement unit comprises a movable portion configured to come into contact with the contact portion and a first urging member urging the feeding member toward the second position,
• wherein upon mounting the stacking unit on the apparatus body, the contact portion presses the movable portion against an urging force of the first urging member so as to move the feeding member from the second position to the first position, and
• wherein upon drawing the stacking unit from the apparatus body, the contact portion is separated from the movable portion so that the first urging member moves the feeding member from the first position to the second position.
