ABSTRACT:
A sheet storage device improved in terms of its performance in aligning sheets discharged from an image forming apparatus. In the sheet storage device, a plate-like shock absorber is superimposed on a surface of a fence member forming an end fence, and a lower end portion of the shock absorber is fixed to the fence member, with an intermediate portion thereof being curved so as to be convex and an upper end portion thereof being movably engaged with an engagement portion formed at an upper end of the fence member. In the intermediate portion, a spacer is provided between the fence member and the shock absorber to form a gap between the shock absorber and the fence member at a position where the shock absorber is hit by the sheets.
