Abstract:
A medium conveying apparatus for conveying media in a conveying direction includes: a medium container on which the media are stacked; and a medium separator that abuts an uppermost medium of the media stacked on the medium container and separates the uppermost medium from the media stacked on the medium container. The medium container includes: a medium support that abuts a lowermost medium of the media stacked on the medium container and supports the stacked media; and a tilting mechanism that tilts the medium support relative to a horizontal plane at a tilt angle according to a weight of the media stacked on the medium container.

Claim (Index 9):
The medium conveying apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the tilting mechanism includes a first elastic member and a second elastic member that each apply upward elastic force to the medium support,\n wherein the first elastic member abuts a lower side of a first side of the medium support in the lateral direction, wherein the second elastic member abuts a lower side of a second side of the medium support opposite to the first side in the lateral direction, and wherein the medium support tilts due to difference in compression rate between the first elastic member and the second elastic member caused by difference in weight of the media stacked on the medium container in the lateral direction.
