Feeding apparatus and an image recording apparatus

One kind of feeding apparatus and an image recording apparatus capable of reducing the foreign matter from adhering to the sheet feeding roller included. Comprising: feed rollers (75), the plane of the tray by the bypass (71) (45) supported by the recording sheets (S) for feeding; feeding arm (76), and the feed roller rotatably supported to rotatably; drive transmission mechanism (79), the rotational driving force is transmitted to the feed roller; rotary member (30), the roller is connected to the feed, by imparting a rotational driving force in more toward the plane side protrudes feed roller between a first position and a second position with respect to the plane of feed rollers greater than the retracting rotation. Rotation of feed roller by the rotational driving force of the normal rotation of the feed given to the recording sheet along the direction of rotation, reversed by imparting a rotational driving force in the opposite direction of rotation and with the rotation direction. Rotatable member is rotated to the second position by imparting a rotational driving force of the normal rotation, is rotated toward the first position by imparting a rotational driving force is inverted.
