PURPOSE:To aim at the compactification of a driving source for a lifting member, by first pulling an upper bin upward aslant with a rotating lever at the upper part by movement of the lifting member, and successively moving a lower bin to the upper part with a lower rotating lever. CONSTITUTION:When a lifting member 3 is indirectly moved downward by rotation of a paper discharging drive roller 15 and a discharge roller 16 along a vertical slot 9 together with a paper distribution device 4, each other end 13b of two rotating levers 13 to be adjoined at a side face 3a is depressed and rotated in order around each fulcrum pin 8, whereby links 11 are pulled nearer to the side of an image former in order. And, first the link 11 drawn near by the upper rotating lever 13 pulls an upper bin 2 upward aslant along cam members 5a and 5b and supports each bin 2 at the upper part. Under this state, a clearance with a lower bin 2 is widened to some extent, and when receiving the discharged paper, each lower bin 2 in pulled up in the same manner in succession. Thus, a driving source for the lifting member can be compactified, while high-speed distribution is made attainable.
