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 9):
The sheet conveying apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the angle adjuster is configured such that the downstream end of the push-up member is held in contact with the extending portion and the basal member with the downstream end interposed between the extending portion and the basal member, in a time period from the first time point to the third time point.
