Abstract

A sheet feeding apparatus includes a stacker for stacking a sheet; a feeding device for feeding the sheet on the stacker to a predetermined processing position; a drive device for driving the feeding device; a double feed detection device having a sending element and a receiving element arranged at a downstream side of the feeding device for detecting a double feed of the sheet; a sensitivity adjustment device for comparing a detected value of the receiving element with a predetermined reference value for adjusting an output of the sending element; and a control device for controlling a transport speed of the feeding device. The sensitivity adjustment device adjusts the output of the sending element when the control device controls the drive device to stop the sheet or to decelerate the sheet at a predetermined speed.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION AND RELATED ART STATEMENT

[0001] The present invention relates to a sheet feeding apparatus for sequentially separating sheets such as originals on a stacker into a single sheet and feeding the sheet to a processing platen for reading in other processes. More particularly, the present invention relates to a sheet feeding apparatus provided with a double feed detection function for detecting a double feed of sheets in a path from the stacker to a processing platen.

[0002] A conventional sheet feeding apparatus feeds sheets such as originals to a processing platen. A reading apparatus for reading images on the sheets at the processing platen is widely known as a scanner, copier, or a facsimile machine. An apparatus for printing at a processing platen is widely used as a printer.

[0003] It is necessary to accurately separate the sheets into a single sheet and to feed the sheet to the processing platen with proper positioning. Particularly, when sequentially ...
