Abstract:
An apparatus includes a housing provided with a conveyance path, a conveyance unit which conveys a sheet along the conveyance path, a discharge port from which the sheet conveyed along the conveyance path is discharged, a discharge tray on which the sheet discharged from the discharge port is stacked, and an attitude change unit which changes an attitude of the discharge tray. The discharge tray includes a first sheet receiving surface which is a portion facing the discharge port in a discharge direction of the sheet and on which a leading edge of the sheet lands, and a second sheet receiving surface which is formed at a predetermined inclination with respect to the first sheet receiving surface. The attitude change unit changes the attitude of the discharge tray so that the first sheet receiving surface of the discharge tray is inclined toward the discharge port.

Claim (Index 5):
The sheet conveyance apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the discharge tray is connected by a rotation hinge portion provided in a lower end portion of the housing on a side on which the discharge port is open, and is pivotable between a first position where the discharge tray falls toward the housing and a second position where the discharge tray receives the discharged sheet, in a state in which the attitude of the discharge tray is not changed by the attitude change unit at the second position, the discharge tray is arranged so that an angle formed by the first sheet receiving surface and a placement plane of the housing is not larger than an angle formed by the placement plane of the housing and the discharge direction of the sheet discharged from the discharge port, and in a state in which the attitude of the discharge tray is changed by the attitude change unit at the second position, the first sheet receiving surface is inclined toward the housing with respect to the placement plane of the housing.
