ABSTRACT:
A sheet discharging apparatus includes a conveyor provided at one side of the body of the apparatus, and sorter trays and a large capacity tray provided on the opposing side. Wings are provided each rotatable about a rotation axis, on a discharging side of the conveyor, and a projection is formed in the front side in the sheet conveying direction of each wing. The projection is brought into contact with an urging member provided at a frame of the container which is movable in upward/downward directions. When sorter trays are used, the urging member is separate from the projection, so that upper surface of the wing is below a conveying surface. When the frame and urging member are elevated to use the large capacity tray, the urging member presses the projection upward, and hence wings are elevated to be positioned upper than the conveying surface. When a thick sheet is to be discharged, an operation lever is operated so as to retract the projection, preventing contact between the urging member and a projection. Therefore, the wings are not elevated. Accordingly, the wings can be raised/lowered without any electric mechanism, and a sheet discharging apparatus is provided which enables sure discharge and stacking of sheets on the large capacity tray, regardless of the thickness of the sheets.
