Abstract:
A sheet discharging device includes a stacking portion configured to stack a sheet; a discharging portion configured to feed the sheet so as to be discharged to the stacking portion, wherein the discharging portion includes a first roller configured to feed the sheet and a second roller provided so as to be contactable to a sheet surface opposite from another sheet surface to which the first roller is contactable to; and an electrically discharging member configured to electrically discharge the sheet in contact with the sheet fed by the discharging portion. As viewed in a widthwise direction perpendicular to a discharging direction of the sheet, the electrically discharging member is provided so as to extend through between rotational axes of the first and second rollers in the discharging direction of the sheet.

Claim (Index 4):
A sheet discharging device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a detecting portion configured to detect the sheet discharged by said discharging portion, wherein said detecting portion includes a flag movable in contact with the sheet discharged by said discharging portion toward a side downstream of said discharging portion with respect to the discharging direction of the sheet and includes a sensor configured to detect movement of said flag,\n wherein with respect to the discharging direction of the sheet, a downstream end of said electrically discharging member is positioned in a side upstream of a portion where a leading end of the sheet contacts said flag.
