Image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• a discharge port through which a sheet having an image is discharged;
• a sheet stacking plate on which the sheet discharged through the discharge port is stacked;
• a pair of cursors supported on the sheet stacking plate in a slidable manner in width directions perpendicular to a discharge direction of the sheet and coming into contact with both side edges of the sheet;
• a cursor driver driving the pair of cursors;
• a pair of blowers provided in the pair of cursors so as to blow air to both corners on an upstream side in the discharge direction of the sheet which is discharged through the discharge port, from above;
• and
• a controller controlling the cursor driver and the pair of blowers, wherein
• each of the pair of cursors has a main body part in which each of the pair of blowers is provided,
• each of the pair of blowers includes:
• a fan which takes in air through an intake port provided on an outer surface of the main body part in the width directions at a downstream side portion in the discharge direction;
• a duct formed on the outer surface so as to extend from the intake port upstream in the discharge direction and through which the air taken in from the intake port is sent by the fan;
• a first blowing port communicated with the duct and provided on an inner surface of the main body part in the width directions at an upstream side portion in the discharge direction;
• a hood disposed on the first blowing port and guiding the air sent through the duct so as to blow downward through the first blowing port;
• and
• each of the pair of blowers includes a wind releasing hole formed below the first blowing port so as to penetrate the main body part between the inner surface and the outer surface.

• an opening formed in a lower surface of the duct on an upstream side in the discharge direction;
• a second blowing port provided below the opening;
• and
• an air passage extending from the opening to the second blowing port.
