PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet storage apparatus in which a shift trajectory between an aligning position on a load surface and a waiting position above a tray is short and the shift operation does not cause displacement of aligned sheets.SOLUTION: A regulation member strikes and regulates a sheet carried onto the load surface, and a trajectory, with which a side edge engagement surface of an aligning member 22 for engaging in a sheet side edge shifts from the aligning position to the waiting position, is set to displace the sheet to the regulation member side. The apparatus includes: a transport path having a sheet discharge outlet 16x; a tray member disposed on the downstream side of the sheet discharge outlet and having the load surface of sheets; the regulation member disposed in the tray member to regulate a position of an end edge in a transport direction of the sheet; the aligning member including the side edge engagement surface engaging with a side edge in a sheet width direction on the load surface; and shifting means for shifting the side edge engagement surface between the waiting position and the aligning position.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 |
