Abstract:
1. A sheet conveying apparatus comprising: a tray for supporting a sheet; a conveying roller for conveying the sheet in order to stack the sheet on the tray; and a projection member for contacting with a trailing end portion in the conveying direction of the sheet stacked on the delivery tray, wherein the projection member projects upward to contact a lower surface of the sheet stacked on the delivery tray, wherein a space is formed upstream of said projection member so that a trailing end portion in the conveying direction of the sheet stacked on the delivery tray enters said space to prevent the sheet from moving, and wherein the projection member is disposed at a position such that a leading end portion in the conveying direction of the sheet conveyed by the conveying roller does not contact the projection member as the sheet is conveyed by the conveying roller.
