It has a shape that makes it easy to take out the paper discharged onto the relay unit 7 located below. Then, the leading end side in the sheet discharging direction is placed on an L-shaped receiver 10 attached to the apparatus main body 1, and the base end side in the sheet discharging direction is placed on a shelf 11 projecting into the sheet discharging storage section 4. It is designed to be placed. Shelf 11
For example, a part of the exterior of the fax unit that protrudes into the paper discharge storage unit 4 or the like can be used. Of course, the bin tray 8 may be formed of a material other than resin, such as a metal tray.

As shown in FIG. 2, the bin tray 8 is put into the paper discharge storage unit 4 from the front of the apparatus main body 1. If the bin tray 8 is made of resin, it can be operated with one hand as shown in the figure because it is lightweight. At this time, the leading end side of the bin tray 8 in the sheet discharging direction (left side in the figure)
Is lowered so as not to interfere with the receiving member 10 as shown in the figure, and the base end side (right side in the drawing) in the sheet discharging direction is raised so as not to interfere with the sheet discharging portion cover 6.

すときはもちろん上記とは逆手順となる。Next, as shown in FIG. 3, while the bin tray 8 is tilted, the base end side in the sheet discharging direction is abutted against the right frame of the apparatus main body 1, and then the sheet is rotated about a central portion held by hand to form a sheet. As shown in FIG. 4, the base end side in the discharge direction is put down on the shelf 11, and the front end side in the paper discharge direction is positioned above the receiving member 10. Then, the entire bin tray 8 is transferred to the receiving device 10.
Side, and the leading end side in the sheet discharging direction is placed on the receiving member 10. This state is the state shown in FIG. Although illustration is omitted, when the bin tray 8 is taken out from the paper discharge storage unit 4, the procedure is reverse to the above.

May be rotated to open the branch. With the rotation of the discharge unit cover 6, the base end side of the bin tray 8 in the paper discharge direction is lifted from above the shelf 11, so that the upper part of the branching unit can be easily opened, and the work becomes easy. In order to reliably prevent the bin tray 8 from dropping when closing the discharge unit cover 6,
The receiving portion of the receiving device 10 may have a shape sufficiently extended to the right side, or an upward projection may be provided at the right end of the receiving portion of the receiving device 10, and a rib or the like to be hooked on the bin tray 8 may be formed. Good. Further, it is effective to prevent the bin tray 8 from moving toward the front side of the apparatus main body 1 by unevenness or the like on the upper surface of the shelf unit 11 in order to prevent the bin tray 8 from falling off.

いう効果もある。As described above, the image forming apparatus according to the present invention does not fix the tray installed in the paper discharge unit space to the main body of the image forming apparatus, so that it is also installed in the paper discharge unit space. The structure that does not hinder the opening and closing of the cover of the relay unit, etc., enhances the adaptability to the opening and closing of the cover of many types of relay units and the like. Since it can be moved with one hand, there is an effect that the attaching / detaching operation can be simplified and the attaching / detaching time can be shortened. Also, since there are no moving parts, there is no need for a component assembling process at the manufacturing factory, and there is no need for parts for the slide structure, so only one mold is required. The installation time at the time of introduction can be shortened, the risk of breakage and the like can be reduced, and there is an effect that resources can be saved and costs can be reduced. In addition, there is an effect that the tray can be made thinner to increase the space in the paper discharge section, and that the weight can be reduced to improve the operability of jam clearance.
