摘要：A sheet discharging apparatus includes a conveyor provided at one side of thebody of the apparatus, and sorter trays and a large capacity tray provided on theopposing side. Wings are provided each rotatable about a rotation axis, on a dischargingside of the conveyor, and a projection is formed in the front side in the sheet conveyingdirection of each wing. The projection is brought into contact with an urging memberprovided at a frame of the container which is movable in upward/downward directions.When sorter trays are used, the urging member is separate from the projection, so thatupper surface of the wing is below a conveying surface. When the frame and urgingmember are elevated to use the large capacity tray, the urging member presses theprojection upward, and hence wings are elevated to be positioned upper than theconveying surface. When a thick sheet is to be discharged, an operation lever is operatedso as to retract the projection, preventing contact between the urging member and aprojection. Therefore, the wings are not elevated. Accordingly, the wings can beraised/lowered without any electric mechanism, and a sheet discharging apparatus is

provided which enables sure discharge and stacking of sheets on the large capacity tray,regardless of the thickness of the sheets.
