Patent number: 10815091Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2019Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Canon Denshi Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Sadayuki Kaneko, Misato Nakayama, Asako Chiba, Ayumi Machida, Tetsurou Ishikawa, Yoshinori Kanaya, Yoshihiro Taniike, Masashi Yamaguchi
