<p>PURPOSE:To prevent occurrence of inferior feed, skew and jam by making the position at which a sheet are pressed against a paper feed roller, uniform, and to provide a cheap sheet storage container which may cope with various sizes of sheets. CONSTITUTION:A guide member 32 in a sheet storage container is composed of a support part 33 formed of a resin plate 36 and a resilient part 34 formed of a leaf spring 39. The body 39a of the leaf spring 39 is attached slantwise so that it goes away from the resin plate 36, gradually from the upper end to the lower end thereof. Further, the rear ends of loaded sheets are pressed against the body 39a of the leaf spring so that the leaf spring 39 flexes. The flexion of the leaf spring 39 decreases as the number of the loaded sheets decreases so that the sheets is pushed out, thereby the leading end of the uppermost sheet is pressed against a sheet feed roller at one and the same position.</p> |
