Abstract:
A sheet conveying apparatus, including: a sheet container; a roller; an arm rotatably supporting the roller; and a presser plate for pressing sheets in the container, wherein distal and basal portions of the presser plate define a bend angle when bent, the bend angle being an angle defined on one side of the presser plate farther from the arm, the bend angle being maintained at an obtuse angel in a first-amount loaded state of the container, and wherein a contact angle of the arm and the sheets at a contact position thereof is smaller than a maximum angle from a maximally loaded state to the first-amount loaded state, the maximum angle being an angle defined by: the basal portion in the maximally loaded state; and the arm whose roller contacts the presser plate in the maximally loaded state when assumed that the sheets are not loaded on the presser plate.

Claim (Index 12):
The sheet conveying apparatus according to  claim 6 ,\n wherein the angle adjuster includes:\n a push-up member supported by the container so as to be pivotable about a push-up member pivot shaft parallel to the rotation shaft while a downstream end of the push-up member in the conveyance direction is located downstream of the push-up member pivot shaft, the push-up member being configured to push up the distal member by pivoting about the push-up member pivot shaft while the downstream end of the push-up member is held in contact with one surface of the distal member opposite to another surface thereof facing the roller, and \n a transmission member configured to perform at least one of: transmission of a pivotal movement of the push-up member about the push-up member pivot shaft to a pivotal movement of the basal member about the presser-plate pivot shaft; and transmission of the pivotal movement of the basal member about the presser-plate pivot shaft to the pivotal movement of the push-up member about the push-up member pivot shaft.
