IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND SHEET TRAY

摘要

An image forming apparatus includes a housing, a sheet conveyance passage, a main tray, a downstream tray, and an elastic member. The main tray includes a first fastening portion and a first support portion, and is pivotable about an axis of the first support portion to thereby be openable and closeable with respect to the housing. The downstream tray includes a second fastening portion, and a second support portion disposed further inside the housing than the first support portion, the downstream tray overlapping the main tray, and being pivotable about an axis of the second support portion and thereby relatively movable with respect to the main tray. The elastic member is expandable and contractible and fastened on the first fastening portion of the main tray and the second fastening portion of the downstream tray.
