A sheet feeding apparatus includes a conveyor for applying a conveying force to a sheet, a first guide for guiding the sheet to which the conveying force is applied from the conveyor, a second guide for guiding the sheet guided by the first guide along a curved path, a driver for driving the conveyor, and a controller for controlling the driver to increase the conveying force of the conveyor when the sheet being conveyed by the conveyor is guided with being abutted against the second guide.

A sheet feeding apparatus comprising: conveying means having a convey roller for applying a conveying force to a sheet; first guide means for guiding the sheet to which the conveying force is applied by said conveying means; second guide means against which a tip end of the sheet guided by said first guide means abuts, for guiding the sheet in a direction changing an advancing direction of the sheet, and forming a first path together with said first guide means, wherein in the first path the sheet is conveyed by said conveying means; third guide means, forming a second path joining to the first path at a position downstream of said first guide means and upstream of said second guide means, for guiding a sheet to said second guide means; and control means for controlling said conveying means so that the conveying force of said conveying means is increased from an initial value when a tip end of the sheet that is being guided by said first guide means reaches a first predetermined position upstream of said second guide means without interrupting sheet conveyance, and is returned to the initial value when the tip end of the sheet that is being guided by said second guide means reaches a second predetermined position downstream of an abut position where the sheet abuts said second guide means, thereby feeding the sheet to a third predetermined position under the initial conveying force.
